Imagine creating bangers like these and then going “oh, yeah, I can’t believe I slacked off like that, ha ha!”

I don't think there's ever been a funnier piece of lore in a video game then the etymology of the word "gun" in FFXIV
@wibbley-wobble So in XIV lore there was a queen named Gunhilder who ruled a country that was conquered by the big bad guy nation, galemald, and she had a royal guard called “gunhilder’s blades” who fought with swords that had triggers on them and were used for channeling magic, and these were called gunblades after the royal guard, When garlemald conquered bozja they copied the design of their swords but garleans can’t use magic so to adopt their fighting style they switched to a mechanical design that used black powder. Later on firearms were developed off of this concept and since they were “gunblades without the blade” people started calling them guns.
masterpiece world building actually
you know what's even better? that lore is a magicalized remix of the word's irl etymology and i think that's brilliant
Oh. it’s just real. It was really that silly.
>UN wants fuel deliveries to Gaza so they can keep their humanitarian operations going
>Israel refuses says the supplies will be used by Hamas
>Israel says Hamas has 500,000L of fuel in eight giant storage tanks near the Egyptian border crossing but is refusing to distribute it to civilians
So why haven’t you bombed the fuel tanks, Israel?
