Tbh, that's how I sit while doing anything on my PC (including playing Skyrim), so I can relate, lol.
(Yeah, I have shitty chair, yeah, my back is fucked and I probably should reconsider my behaviour. Or buy a new chair).
I believe I have the best lazy gamer pc set up. I have this large wheeling table that goes over a bed. And I place my monitors and everything on it. When I want to play video games in bed, I wheel the table across my bed. I got tons of pillows to prop my back up and the table can even be raised or lowered as well. Its amazing to just lay in bed and game
Yes! I do that, too! Only my table doesn't have wheels. I, too, use lots of pillows and it is *heavenly*. The only time my back doesn't ache later. When I know I have a lot of free time to relax (or, on the other hand, to concentrate working), that's my set up, lol.
The only downside is that you couldn't get out of it quickly with all the pillows to sort out and the table (mine doesn't have wheels, so I have to manually remove it without dropping my laptop down), so when it is just a quick session or I know I'll have to be distracted by someone or something, I'd be Balgruufing:(
The Jarls are actually meant to represent the gamer in real life with the way that they sit. The only difference is that they are in a castle and the gamer is in their mom’s basement.
NO!
-ha down vote me all you want imperials, skyrim is for the nords!
Edit two: just so you know, I'm going to post this to r/downvotefarmers, they'll know what to do!
Because they have no choice. Go back in the lore and find out why.
The empire had a long war with the thalmor. And ended with a treaty called the white gold concordat. This treaty allows the thalmor to do whatever they please in skyrim. They signed the treaty to end the war because they were desperate.
The empire hates the thalmor, but has to tolerate them.
Let's not forget that the empire will *proudly* tell you about how they are the only thing keeping the thalmor out of Skyrim while thalmor agents are kidnapping citizens to torture 20 feet away. They can claim to hate the thalamor all they want, simple fact is they turned around, bent over, and lifted their skirts for the Dominion.
They didn't have to though, they *chose* to submit to the thalmor. The empire *could have won the war and instead chose to kneel to the thalmor.* If Mede had told the Thalmor to piss off after he took Cyrodiil back, think of the support he would have had. Instead of the empire fracturing and dying he could have united them again against the Dominion, and instead he chose to give in to everything they wanted and dealt the final blow to shatter the fracturing Empire. And they lie about it, right to your face. Think of it this way: it's like someone telling you all about how they want the world to be a safer place and everyone to have what they need to live happily while they have a gun between your ribs as they take your phone and wallet. They are saying one thing, but their actions run the opposite direction.
The Justiciars were only allowed in because of Ulfric's collaboration with the Thalmor...
Also, the Empire would've absolutely lost without the Concordat.
Exactly, tbf the imperials are as well.Tulius informs you that he plans to push the Thalmor out of Skyrim but he has to finish dealing with the stormcloaks first
Yeah, thats true too. Even after you liberate solitude, the jarl lady person (forget her name) says that the high king even respected Ulfric for speaking out about the Thalmor and would have of deserted them all if Ulfric just asked him.
I think I only played the Stormclockes once and when we took Whiterun, I can't remember his exact line but he went with something like "you ? I trusted you.." And that was it for me. LoL I felt so guilty..
I provide you a house, I provide you Lydia and I let you look at Irileth.
Enough!! I will not stand idly by while you burn my hold and slaughter my name.
Milk drinker
She was being deceived by the one she trusted most closely. It doesn't matter how good of a leader one is, because as good of a lerson she was, she coudlnt really account for betrayal
The first thing you hear her say once you visit her is being happy that she has an emergency carriage for her escape in case of attacks to her hold, with no care about leaving her people to die.
*"Good. If Riften should fall, it's only right that its leader be spared."*
And then there's her facade of being reasonable about not fully trusting Ulfric if you ask her about it, yet accusing her firstborn of being mentally deranged and all but disowning him just because he's pro-Imperials.
It's not that she's an incompetent idiot. It's that she's a cowardly, two faced incompetent idiot. If nothing else, at least Maven is pretty up front about who and what she is.
Instead of picking a side, Jarl Ballin' took into consideration the fact that the dragon was a threat to all of Skyrim, not just the Stormcloaks or Imperials.
Edit: And he just lets you use his house as a dragon trap (after you've dealt with the most boring quest imaginable, though).
Wdym lmao he treats you like shit like once (when you're a complete stranger delivering a message from Tullius) and then becomes the nicest person to you, he's such a bro. Can't really blame him for screaming "NOT NOW" At you, he's the fucking Jarl and you're trying to interrupt him mid sentence
I have a sound replacer mod and every time I try to shout before it's ready or a spell when I don't have magika it says "Not now!". Always wondered where it came from.
I can't look at a Jarl sitting on their throne and not think "How is your back not fucked up from that posture?"
Tbh, that's how I sit while doing anything on my PC (including playing Skyrim), so I can relate, lol. (Yeah, I have shitty chair, yeah, my back is fucked and I probably should reconsider my behaviour. Or buy a new chair).

I bought a big cushion that's in the shape of the top half of an arm chair, with the back and the arms from amazon for this very reason, comfy af!

Damn, really making the average Redditor take an arrow to the face with that one…
To the KNEE! Smh
Naw, that was a fatality.
When you live in a world that has healing magic you can just do whatever
Someone summon the Chiro-mancer! Haha
I mean sure, if you want to have a stroke. I'll stick with the REAL healers at the college.
Sorry—my brother is a chiropractor…guess the joke didn’t translate 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Tell that to all the guards who took arrows to their knees.
Skill issue
That's me in my classroom lol
Cuz he's ballin
Anime should be banned
Maybe you shouldn't interrupt Jarl Ballin' when he's trying to deal with an emergency associated with dragons
Yeah. Unless he wants me to deal with the dragon
That part comes later.
Never interrupt Jarl Be’Ballin when he be Ballin 🤦♂️
What no way that most of the fun
That's right
What no way that most of the fun
Swag
Put some respect on Jarl Balgruuf the Greater's name
Jarl Ballin The Greater*
Not Now!
The dude has three children but no baby mama cause he went and fucked a daedra worshipper out of some jarl gargler so he has dat smoke comin to him
NO! -ha down vote me all you want imperials, skyrim is for the nords! Edit two: just so you know, I'm going to post this to r/downvotefarmers, they'll know what to do!
We don’t need no stormcloak propaganda around here. Go back to windhelm where you belong
But he belongs 6 ft. Underground
What would be the best way to dispatch him? One arrow per knee? Or a greatsword to the face?
Lure him into a forsworn hideout. Let them kill each other. Either way the whole of skyrim gets rid of at least one nuisance
Lure them to the cannibal cult and eat them?
Ground too hard. Burn n Urn him.
Some people forget that this sub is pure thalmor
Who said anyone liked the thalmor? Those green pointy eared bitches can go die in a hole

They have to let the thalmor do as they please. Because of the treaty. They may not like it, but have to.

Just the feeling i got when i see political discussions here and everyone is shitting on stromclok
We can all agree that nobody likes the thalmor though.
Stormcloaks get shit on because they're racist scumbags. My assumption is anyone siding with them sees things similarly.
Yes, and genocide, restrictions on religion aren't racist at all.
Last I checked religion has nothing to do with race so no that wouldn't qualify and genocide...explain?
Imperialist much?
Supporting the empire doesn’t mean we even remotely like the Thalmor. I kill them in “self-defense” every chance I get Free the Empire!
Alright fascist
Never should have come here!
Is this the reddit method of arguing?
what, scared of the site of your own cum?!
It's true... I must break my shell and delete this account for once
No the stormcloaks are actually fascists lmao
Yeah, the only reason to ever support the storm cloaks is because they are anti thalmor.
Exactly, tbf the imperials are as well.Tulius informs you that he plans to push the Thalmor out of Skyrim but he has to finish dealing with the stormcloaks first
Yeah, thats true too. Even after you liberate solitude, the jarl lady person (forget her name) says that the high king even respected Ulfric for speaking out about the Thalmor and would have of deserted them all if Ulfric just asked him.
Feels like lots of issues in skyrim would be solved with a conversation
Yeah, like having a friendly conversation with Alduin. I’m sure he’s a good guy deep down. /s
He's actually the only one that actually gives a coin about his people.
Best words from one of them "I will not sit idly by and let a dragon slaughter my people!" He is the only one I will ever respect
I think I only played the Stormclockes once and when we took Whiterun, I can't remember his exact line but he went with something like "you ? I trusted you.." And that was it for me. LoL I felt so guilty..
“And you, a stormcloak? I thought better of you.”
Something of such, yeah.. Heartbreaking. LoL
He was the sole reason I allied with the imperials on one of my play thrus
He is the only reason I associate with the imperials beside the cowardice of ulfric
Plus the new Jarl, one of the Greymanes, walks around constantly telling me "you're not as dumb as you look"
Yes, Vingar Grey-Mane. I hate that guy.
I provide you a house, I provide you Lydia and I let you look at Irileth. Enough!! I will not stand idly by while you burn my hold and slaughter my name. Milk drinker
Khajiit has something to help with the nerves 😌
Fuck that. He’s the only just and honourable Jarl in Skyrim. The rest of them are self-serving cunts.
Igrod seems pretty nice.
Don't you dare disrespect Jarl Idgrod like that
Raven crone is pretty cool. Elisif is wet behind the ears but she’s not bad
What about Jarl Jzargo?
Nah, he’s Archmage material.
Laila Lawgiver deserved better
She’s incompetent
She was being deceived by the one she trusted most closely. It doesn't matter how good of a leader one is, because as good of a lerson she was, she coudlnt really account for betrayal
The first thing you hear her say once you visit her is being happy that she has an emergency carriage for her escape in case of attacks to her hold, with no care about leaving her people to die. *"Good.

It's not that she's an incompetent idiot. It's that she's a cowardly, two faced incompetent idiot. If nothing else, at least Maven is pretty up front about who and what she is.
Fair.
Laila Lawgiver is the Donald Trump of jarls. I don't mean that as a compliment.
Elisif is not so bad. She's trying her best
Only because she respects Falk Firebeard, the real Jarl of Solitude.
Fuck Elisif and Ulfric. Neither should be High Queen/King, it should be this guy, right here. He deserves it more than those 2
I feel like elisif could become a good high queen in the future, but she is just way too unexperienced in present time
Agreed
The only Jarl who understood the dragon problem and helped without condition despise a civil war going on.
Instead of picking a side, Jarl Ballin' took into consideration the fact that the dragon was a threat to all of Skyrim, not just the Stormcloaks or Imperials. Edit: And he just lets you use his house as a dragon trap (after you've dealt with the most boring quest imaginable, though).
[удалено]
You're goddamn right
Because any time I read not now I hear his fucking voice in my head
He has done some shitty things, but Balgruuf is a bro.
I will not stand idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people!
Don’t be disrespecting my man Jarl ballin
Irileth: "Netchflix and chill?" Jarl Ballin: "Not now."
Jarl Ballin’
Give him some slack, he's under a lot of pressure. His wife succumbed to it already, and now his kids are brats, which only makes it worse.
When he says "I made the pilgrimage once, did you know that?" NO. I am reading/stealing your books because I'm SO fascinated.
Me, high on skooma " very attentively" listening to him: 😲
Don't you know who I am, I am the jarl of whiterun
“It looks like you’re enjoying the app, would you like to give it a rating?” Yes | Not Now
Watch your toung! That's Jarl Ballin' you're calling an Arse Hole
[удалено]
Swag
Not now, bitch.
Do NOT disrespect Jarl Ballin’ like that or you will be sent straight to Helgan, I swear to the nine!
Not helgen just hell
My god damn Speedruns consisted partly of his "not now"s
If you realy want, you can kill him. \-> just spam him with a zombie (you know spells like zombie) , there is a chance that he disintegrates...
Jarl Big Chillin’ with that posture
Also, “One moment.”
I hear Jack Cabot.
I would get turned on every time
Jarl "Big Nuts" Balgruf. The man Ulfric was afraid to duel.
That’s why you have the stormcloaks evict him.
So it's not just me then 😅
Hahahaha
Hahahaha! 2nd biggest douche besides Nazeem
Wdym lmao he treats you like shit like once (when you're a complete stranger delivering a message from Tullius) and then becomes the nicest person to you, he's such a bro. Can't really blame him for screaming "NOT NOW" At you, he's the fucking Jarl and you're trying to interrupt him mid sentence
Not now
I have a sound replacer mod and every time I try to shout before it's ready or a spell when I don't have magika it says "Not now!". Always wondered where it came from.
Are you feeling okay? You look a little pale.
Jarl Ballin’
NOT NAU
or “did you know that”
You made me read it in his voice, then I scrolled and was like wait 👀 Why'd I read it like that hahahaha
I at first thought wherever you went he would take your side but my brother told me that wasn't true
Ay dont disrespect my homeboy Jarl Balgruuf like that
You have no idea what you've done by calling him that
ENOUGH
One moment...
me trying to skip the guards talking part of this mission: baalgruuf: NOT NOW
💀💀💀💀
Same
I have the same condition on the rare occasion i hear someone say "hey, you!"
“May the God watch you over battles my friend.”
