Behold: SPEED.

WRONG QUESTION!

Stewart explained the pair’s dressage plan.

“Snoop called me and said he knows I know horses, and he’s a little fearful of horses,” the businesswoman, philanthropist and octogenarian Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model told NBC on Friday.

“I’m still scared of horses,” Snoop said.

“Have you ever ridden a horse?” Stewart asked.

“No,” said Snoop. “I’m scared.”

He got to meet the horses!!

He even got to feed them carrots like he wanted to, even though he seems to be nervous! Such courage and valor! /Gen!

Dwarf cooking show: America's Test Kitchen but even more rigorous. 20 minutes of discussing how to maintain precise heat just to boil water.

Halfling cooking show: Great British Bake Off with soap-opera levels of internal drama. Everyone is stoned off their ass.

Orc cooking show: Edible mythbusters. The contestants must make bbq with a live dragon. People straight up die sometimes.

But at the same time I'm seeing a consistent number of people leaning so hard in the other direction and assuming that since Super Earth is cartoonishly evil, that makes the enemy factions of Helldivers 2 unambiguous heroes. This is not the case. Helldivers is very much a Warhammer 40k situation of "the entire universe is fucked and awful, it's villains and monsters all the way down, you are just playing as the villains and monsters that look like you". The Terminids are invasive superpredators that indiscriminately kill and eat everything they find around their hives and reduce the surrounding area to blackened, spore-choked rock. The Automatons round up and butcher civilians and desecrate remains to adorn themselves with skulls and severed limbs, and their Cyborg predecessors weren't any better.

The terminids are fully sapient, and are only on worlds beyond their hone system because Super Earth enslaved them and turned them into livestock to harvest fuel. The technician who says they still don’t know how terminids get from world to world? Humans did it to farm fuel. They aren’t the tyranids or zerg. They’re rabbits in Australia.

The automatons are, presumably, decended from the cyborgs. The cyborgs were human criminals who had their bodies ravaged by cybernetic implants and sent to hostile worlds as slave labor. Their attempt to free themselves was brutally crushed. So they radicalized. And now they’re genocidal.

Godzilla Minus One wants to play!🐕

I mean this shit 100% seriously BTW.

An impassioned rant about Fighters' place in modern campaigns.

here’s a roof guide that i use because i used to be shit

i dont remember the source, b/c ive had this for like years, but i suggest messing around with these roofs with different shapes/sizes of buildings

in fact, you can mix and match and have one roof with a side room with a different roof on it

Feel like Poland should be included since we're literally called "people of the fields" according to the etymology of Poland.

We also have some less intricate clothing (if it looks a bit Victorian to you - that’s pretty much the right era for most of this!)

Here is the Chilean huaso:

Gauchos, from primarily Argentina where they’re a large national symbol close to the level of cowboys in the US. Also gauchos are in Uruguay.  Their pants are called bombachas and the other garment wrapped around them are called chiripas.  They work in grasslands called pampas, known for being really fertile:

While they’re not as dressed up as the others or have as prominent of a culture, for a broader Latin American cowboy context, I feel like also adding llaneros, who are from Colombia and Venezuela, in the llanos region, a type of tropical grassland similar to the pampas, hence the name llanero. Pampas get annual flooding and these guys would go barefoot a lot, and you can see that the stirrup on the horse’s saddle is really different than what you’re probably used to seeing, to accommodate for that, which is what I want to point out as an aspect of plains cultures developing clothing/accessories/tools to suit the environment. 

Cowboy culture happened wherever Spanish colonial influence and grassland biomes came together.  They differ based on the grasslands having different climates (ex tropical in South America), and the local indigenous influence (ex, backtracking to gauchos, they would use this tool called bolas to catch animals, which were basically two balls tied to a string that you threw and it spun around an animals legs, and were an indigenous invention):
