they are pretty clearly going for an explicit mixture of "ww1" with "medieval armour/weapons" to more clearly create an alt-history vibe. (the alt-history thing is also why there are so many zeppelins, ofc.)

Wait, where do I pick up this armor in Dark Souls?

The tactic works because it just reversed the role. France got knocked out and we poked our head in the alley to check it out.

i have a pair of dress shoes that are very comfortable but they are solidly "interview clothes", i don't really want to try and understand the mind that thinks different, as it is vile

I dunno, not really vile. I wore the same pair of, I think, rockports for five years. They had no more grip and ultimately the crease ripped. After a year or so they also became my work shoes while in the kitchen because they were great at greese/hot water protection. Now I only get two years out of a pair wearing them every workday. It's not brooks brothers or anything.

I think you have to have a certain number of people to count as a "a people"
