Sounds like 'reverse racism', which is still racism. Even if I get told it isn't.

@finity 😁

@Pat @freemo
I only know that there was a great diversity among pharaohs. There were Nubians (around 700BC-ish) and even Greek Macedonians. So, black or white wouldn't have mattered terribly much for the Egyptians methinks.

@thomasfuchs It is almost as if it's designed to keep the people in debt forever!

@finity But if your solar panels are currently at work, it should be sunny... so you can easily keep the lights off in the meantime?

@Pat It doesn't surprise me for a Hollywood-movie to have mostly white people in main roles. I mean, it's Hollywood. Almost all the western world thinks Jesus was white too, so the views are already warped.

I don't know Hamilton, but I kind of recognize your last paragraph... when women play roles which were usually filled by men (Thor, Ghostbusters, Dr Who), alllllll the damn articles talked about that as well instead of about the story or whatever else. :P It's just dumb.

@lydiaconwell That should be so uncomfortably hot and sweaty...

@dosnostalgic Looks like Mahjong to me.

@lydiaconwell There is, conduction. It's just highly inefficient.

@Pat The only one I can still think of is: Too many white people there? Other than that I'm out of ideas. I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure out if the decorations are all period-appropriate.

@Pat Well, when I saw the picture my line of thinking went along like this:

- Did scale mail exist back then? *Searches* Mm, yeah, that's certainly possible. It was mentioned in a reign before this movie was set in.

- Okay, so, did they have those kind of trumpets back then? Yeah, there were even Egyptian drawings depicting that style trumpet. It's just that the ones with valves existed around 1800s. The medieval type trumpets already existed since Egyptian times. They're apparently called buisine.

- Ok fine. So, hairstyle. Is that normal? Yeah, the usual Egyptian style is often bald shaved (against heat and lice), and they often wore wigs. But they did have external influence, in particular from the Romans (almost typed Romulans there, lol), so that isn't really unthinkable either.

Am I overthinking this? :)

@thomasfuchs At least you can play offline!

@Pat Mmm, I've tried looking up a few potential issues but they all checked out. So I don't know what's wrong with the picture. Tell us? :)

Playing a bit of Reigns: Her Majesty.

During coronation I had to spray my perfume at the end of the rite. I do this by dragging the bottle of perfume from my inventory to the head of whoever was talking to me. Fine, I can do that.

Hurray, the coronation's a success! It's over now!

Next person I speak to happens to be a nun, I wanted to spray her as well. So, dragging the perfume bottle over to her head. She went away.

The king popped up, asking why I'm throwing stuff at people now!
I decided to 'spray' the king as well. He went away.

The archbishop came up. He reprimanded me that I can't simply manipulate this court with any old object I have in my bag!
Eh, whatevs. *Throws bottle at the bishop*

Whoopsie.

@Pat What's Affirmation?

@axxss One of those Crocodile Dundee movies, where he claims That is not a knife, then pulls out a gigantic one and says That's a knife!

@axxss That's not many As.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That's many As!

@worldsendless That's a nice overview. I need to dig into CSS again someday. Had a few good interactive tutorials back then. Of course I've forgotten the details now, heh.

@ducheng On a previous instance I was on (before it went down), the limit was 1k characters. I noticed that it was _just about_ not enough, and asked the hoster to double it, which he did. From that point onwards I felt very comfortable, so I think 2k characters minimum would be a sweet spot.

@lucifargundam

@Pat Heh.
