So you could actually get away with them?

I'm assuming these cloaks and robes don't have a fur trim (real or not), am I wrong?

Nay, just bought from a historic replica shop. Probably meant for roleplay in hindsight but hey, it works better at repelling rain than any jacket I've worn.

Also some trinkets bought from home, because as I said, country's most liberal cities, weird clothing is almost encouraged there.

Oh! And my poncho from the Andes, can't forget about that.

And how would Meriah's level 15 skills work? Can she get both or only one?

Why? Who's Rebel Friend?

Glad you asked! Rebel Friend is a character that debuted in Lego Star Wars 2, reprising an identical role in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. He is, to my knowledge, the only original character in the game. You can call him the Kris of Lego Star Wars.
Like Kris, he enters the playable cast in the very first level of the game, Secret Plans, where initially you follow Leia and Captain Antilles during their escape from the Tantive IV. After Leia leaves the Death Star plans with R2 and leaves, Antilles is left with the droids. Shortly after, the group encounters Rebel Friend. Rebel Friend is fighting stormtroopers on the other side of a chasm. After the player kills them by dropping them into the void and finds a way across, Rebel Friend joins the group for the remainder of the level. It is worth noting that Rebel Friend is not seen dying - while Vader visibly murders Antilles via kinky magic choke and the droids escape aboard an escape pod, Rebel Friend simply vanishes. Probably because he's a wizard. This leaves his fate open to interpretation.
Visually, Rebel Friend looks exactly the same as the generic rebel troopers, only his shirt is red instead of blue. He has no special abilities to set him apart from his generic peers, his animations are the same, and overall, there's absolutely no reason why he couldn't have been a generic rebel trooper. But he wasn't a generic rebel trooper. He was Rebel Friend.

Wow, that was so unnecessarily long and verbose. I'd be great at writing Wookeepedia articles!

Honestly, I just love the fact that he's in Skywalker Saga. Rebel Friend being in Skywalker Saga is one of the biggest middle fingers to the rabid fans demanding Cad Bane. Not as much as Mamma Hutt, but still. They ommitted many fan favorite Glup Shittos, and yet they introduced the completely random OC from Complete Saga that's literally just a rebel trooper in a red shirt. Generic rebel troopers aren't even playable in Skywalker Saga, and yet Rebel Friend is even though he doesn't even exist in this game. I love it.

The second part of why I like him is that he's called Rebel Friend. They could've called him Rebel Commander, or Rebel Corporal, or... I don't know, Rudimentary Alossss, but they called him Rebel Friend instead. That's just wonderful.

tl;dr: He's a dumb meme and I like dumb memes.

 

Incidentally, while I was looking for an image of Rebel Friend to share above, I ran into this website.

What the absolute fuck is this.

Why is Rebel Friend for sale at this obvious scam website.

Why does the article name say "Brickipedia | Fandom"

Why did the "guests" become different people, decrease from 4 to 3 and simultaneously edit their comments when I reloaded the page.

Why can I change the price of the article in the URL to the point where they owe me money for obtaining their Rebel Friend.

Just... what, what, what, why? Who would fall for this...?

Here at home I often wear cloaks and robes over normal clothing since I find it more comfortable and nice looking than modern stuff.

The weather wasn't as warm as I was hoping it'd be. Windchill just had to get in the way.😑 Why couldn't they be hot winds? And the carpenter bees came back after who being who knows where for the past few days, where did they go? They come and leave as if only to bother me.

Still, I was able to enjoy the day enough to read the intro and first chapter of the wine history book. I don't want to burn myself out on the book so soon (or wear it out b/c it's from a library and looks fairly new and undamaged), but I so want to type up notes on dozens and dozens of factoids that I found fascinating within. From 3150 BC Egyptian king who was buried with possibly 6000 wine jars, to the world's earliest wine labels, with some such as "Wine for taxes" and "Wine for offerings", which might mean that the wine was of inferior quality and thus not worth selling on the market. Also possible evidence of early alcohol-related misogyny of women being particularly heavy drinkers if you let them have it. It's sorta amazing Egypt could grow wine at all, given the country is stated as being too hot and too-heavily watered to suit grape vines, and yet, the more temperate Nile Delta thanks to Mediterranean breezes could support viticulture, and even some oases far inland in the south could sustain wine grapes.

I might need to get that Hundred Days wine simulator video game in a Steam sale at some point. It has gotten positive reviews.

I saw that people have been gathering more details concerning Nintendo of America's objectionable practices now that we have the one complaint. Seems like NoA engages in questionable behaviors that are standard across modern industries. Specifically- hiring contractors and keep them permanent contracted in practice, but don't formally bring them into NoA itself. As long as they belong to nominally independent companies, NoA's corporate legal responsibilities and liabilities remain limited, and the salaries and benefits of the contract employees can remain low. Amazon is another user of these practices.

Reminds me somewhat of what I know of academia actually. "Adjunct" professors are freelancers who get underpaid and overworked teaching courses at multiple colleges and universities. Hiring adjuncts is very popular, since no institution of higher learning wants to devote more money to salaries than they have to, students and their parents never stop complaining about tuition costs and increases already. The dream of getting on the tenure-track, of becoming a full-time professor working at a single university, is the illusive and hard fought for escape from adjunct hell. It's similarly contractual.

First, my apologies for not wishing you well before. I wasn't sure what to say this time. Although I have had a few strange incidents of lumbar agony despite not being old, probably from living an overly sedentary lifestyle.

Though, I have also been informed that back pain is an inevitable byproduct of human evolution. The result of our evolutionary ancestors learning to walk upright, the spine hasn't found a way to alleviate the issues that came with that yet. Its curvature awkwardly tries to keep our bodies balanced upright without leaning too far forward or back.

-Though we should not curse our primate predecessors, for it is walking upright -possibly due to those ancestors leaving the safety of treetops- that slowly brought us to our present state. Freeing up our arms and hands meant we could do things with them we hadn't considered, which led to the use of tools. Tools grew our brains, which made us more effective at gathering foodstuffs and made us into hunters, and protein-rich meat further grew our brains and made us yet better with tools. Eventually freed hands and tool-loving big brains invent animal husbandry and agriculture and human civilization as we live it begins and here we are.

Overall, not a terrible tradeoff if you ask me.🤓

Oh, and second, thanks for the gif!😉

Okay, time to continue going through Delirium Lava Ruins. Hmm, not yet decided if to just marry right away now or wait. Usually I've always felt that the intermission between Acts 2 and 3 to be a good spot narrative wise for the protagonist to finally tie the knot... hmm... perhaps I might wait after all. Helps I can see the other events and save myself from unlocking all Newlywed Modes through multiple playthroughs. Then I'd just need two for that, one for each of Lest and Frey.
