Kind of reminds me of that one balanced Rock that stood for millennia until a scout leader and his kids pushed it over

These things are neat! Also if you look away and look back they will be in a different spot.

Wow what a precious rock! As a geologic engineer I'd be tempted to measure the base and rock quality, yet scared it'd fall on me.

Real talk: what are the odds/timeframe erosion or something will do it in?

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Odd are 99.9999999999% it will fall down. I really dont have enough info to really make a valid timeframe estimate. But I'd say not long

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yeah, that's basically what I meant - erosion at the base making the rest fall.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There could even also be other factors such as the wind or a camel with an itchy butt.

How is it that no asshole came by with a jackhammer to knock it down yet?

I think they would one of their hands cut off if they did. This is in Saudi Arabia.

Every nation has it's laws. But what would be the point of cutting the hands of a man crushed into a soup-like homogenate by a giant rock?

It doesn't have to be, someone just has to go, 'I wanna knock that down' because they got the itch.

Everywhere has assholes. I think the difference is, in the US, you get in trouble, in Saudi, they will prolly cut your hands off for that

3 years ago | Likes 41 Dislikes 3

Cutting your hands off is for stealing, most likely stoned in the courtyard or just killed for destroying it

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Cutting off your hands it was specificly one hand to begin with and it was always the same one. This was so everybody knew you were a thief

I feel like 12 was underrated because of the battle system. I liked it, personally.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

I liked the battle system, but the plot suffered. Poor pacing, poor lead, and too little actually happens.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I choose to believe the lead was actually bathier, but since he had a plot important story they made him a background character not to spoil

Ashe is the lead. Balthier likes to think he is, but Ashe was basically driving 90% of that story. (And before anyone mentions the intent
