  • Elves in LOTR have technically infinite vision because the world used to be flat and illuminated by two glowing trees that resided in Valinor. Because the world was flat, and Elves have essentially perfect vision at any distance, they could actually see things that were on the opposite side of the world.

    After Morgoth (aka Melkor, aka the evil god that Sauron worships) and Ungoliant (the mother of Shelob, the spider that nearly kills Frodo) destroyed the trees then the world was made into a globe and Elves infinite vision ability, while still useful, wasn’t quite as powerful as before.





  • It’s quite good and also I like that they largely support Linux. They have phone apps, browser extensions, desktop apps, and even CLIs. They also have downloadable configurations for OpenVPN and WireGuard if you want to go that route. They’ve also got what I assume are fairly basic features of most VPNs like kill switching, private DNS servers, etc.



  • There’s quite a lot that can be gleaned from the depots for the game on steamdb: https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/

    I don’t know if this information is already public but here are a couple of quick inferences I made by looking a the files. I’m not overly familiar with Valve’s intellectual properties so I don’t recognize any specific characters or franchises.

    There’s likely a hero named Yamato who has the abilities:

    • Shadow Form
    • Power Stance
    • Infinity Slash
    • Healing Slash
    • Flying Strike

    There’s a lot more hero information but that’s the top one in the depots.

    The game might be called “Citadel”, or it may have just been called that internally at Valve. The reason I suspect that is because of there appears to be a game folder called “citadel” which appears to be the main game folder.

    I actually just learned this recently, but dinosaurs differ from reptiles in that dinosaurs have legs that are under their bodies whereas reptiles have legs that splay out to the side. So all mammals, and birds, with legs directly under their bodies are probably more closely related to dinosaurs then reptiles.
