Remember Hortlund?

I try to forget. But the horrors of Hortlund still keep me up at night.

Those there the most legendary debate threads on Languish. I used to compare them to a World War I offensive. As soon as one poster would burn out trying to argue with him another would launch a fresh attack.

Don't remember anything specific.

I remember reactions to Horty more than anything he said.

He was a divorce attorney who would post threads about lusting after his clients. Though I guess if you are going to be an attorney to pick up women you could do worse than being a divorce attorney.

I suppose, if you're into vulnerable, crazy, or both, and generally like being in conflict of interest situations. :P

Ah ok. I might, I love him on the Co-optional podcast.

One thing is good at is understanding story structure and tropes. I watched his Life is Strange playthrough (with Dodger) and he pretty much nailed what effects his decisions would have. It's not that he 100% predicts how a narrative goes, but he's pretty decent at picking up clues and details and putting them together. Although he soemtimes also gets it completely wrong. :D

Dodger is like some kind of entertainment mutant. Sometimes I will watch her VODs and she just does nothing but chat about inanities. Yet somehow it is really entertaining.

I thought her visual novel playthroughs with Crendor and Cryaotic were hilarious. The first one ore two run-throughs of Dandelion had me in stitches.

yeah, but it was also the 16 year old daughters he wanted.

Don't forget all the talk of banging underage girls.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Ah yeah. I forgot about the 'the daughter and the mom are both hot!' dilemmas he would share with us.

Did he ever actually run for office? IIRC that was why he left, no?

Yeah he was afraid if anybody ever saw what he posted on Languish it would ruin his political ambitions. I never knew his real name so I have no idea if he has been crawling up the ranks of the Sweden Democrats.
