I finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 last night and I’m already having that post-finishing-a-story nostalgia you get after reading a good book.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

I’m 40 hours in to #KCD2 and I just made it to Kutná Hora. I will compile my thoughts about this game eventually, but generally I think it’s an improvement on the first in every conceivable way. And I’m impressed they approached building a historical world in such a healthier way this time around.

This is an appropriate response, which also seems to imply that your politics can be as racist as you like, you just need to be polite about it.
