I accept your concession.

I like mutants with multiple limbs and eyes, make it look more like birth defects.
Anthro mutants on their own are lazy furfagbait, if it's genetic freaks made by a mad scientist a la Dr. Monroe I'm far more tolerant.

It's interesting how you can automatically tell when an animal is mutated or suffering from genetic diseases. Healthy creatures have a natural beauty to them even when they're dangerous predators or old as shit.

Abominations and mutants should instinctually unnerve you when you look at them.

I think Warhammer had to say there was something unnaturally off about mutants to avoid the potentially risky Oldhammer lore that people with sixth toes would be killed alongside Asian people as Chaos mutants.

Looking at all these games played list it reminds me of games that were very popular at one point but I'm not sure if they're getting played anymore.
The teo that jump to my mind are Teotihuacan and Stationfall. Anyone stll plays these? Has your opinion on them changed over time?

>Teotihuacan
I had the misfortune of playing that recently. It's long, it's boring, and it's surprisingly chaotic.

>>97261637
I don't remember theotihuacan being popular here tbqh. Stationfall, in my opinion, is kinda neat but suffers too much from being in a really fucking weird niche. It's almost a party game, but you don't really want too many people playing it. It feels like a lightweight game that still needs a 45 min teach. It creates hilarious stories, but doesn't offer statisfying gameplay. Stationfall is somewhat of a conundrum and is probably the best game in existence for the right people, but there's not that many of them.

Of course, I assume the main thing that makes you say they're especially evil are sacrifices, but most people have a very skewed view of who it was done to, at at what scales, and what they were like

Contrary to what a lot of sources say, the Mexica did not demand victims as tribute/taxes that often, which were predominately rather demands of economic goods and labor service. The plurality of victims, maybe even the majority, were captured enemy soldiers from wars, so not a distinct total from battlefield deaths, though some amount were also non-combatant slaves given as spoils by surrendering cities when initially being conquered (to be clear, not the whole population was taken, nor were cities usually sacked, the Mexica wanted subjects functional enough to produce the goods they demanded as taxes), or via the slave trade (though slaves allegedly actually had a great deal of rights and being a slave wasn't a permanent status, with only slaves who lost rights via skirting on duties being able to be sacrificed... in practice though I'm a bit skeptical things were that favorable for slaves), and even some being volunteers (though "volunteers" could include children and the elderly, likely not truly voluntary in those cases).

From excavations of the Huey Tzompantli, the Great Skull Rack in Tenochtitlan, we know 75% of victims were men (consistent with most being captured enemy soldiers), 20% were women, and 5% were children, though there are conflicting reports which give the ration as more like 55-40-5. From those excavations we also know the rack held around 16,000 skulls, though if you wanna highball every possible variable, you could maybe argue it's double that, though I think that's quite unlikely.

16,000-32,000 skulls sounds like a lot, and it is, but it's a fraction of the size the Spanish (and even the Mexica themselves) claimed it was: Duran and his Mexica informants claimed it held ~80,000 skulls, while Andres de Tapia claimed it held 136,000. Keeping in mind that we don't know how long it took for a full rack's worth of skulls to accrue (but that it probably represents multiple years worth of deposits, we know at least some parts of the rack/towers had skulls deposited over a period of decades), and that not all victims even had their skulls go onto the rack, I'd wager that suggests 100s to 1000s of sacrifices a year.

If you highball things, maybe even over 10,000 a year, but I think that's pushing it, especially as would be 20,000, which is a common number you see thrown around. 100,000s a years like the 250.000 estimate also often thrown around is obviously nonsense and didn't happen. If you're wondering why both of those figures are so common if they're contradicted by excavations, it's because A: The excavations are recent, and B: the figures weren't intended to be just for Mexica sacrifices, but sacrifices done across (more or less) all of Mesoamerica aside from the Maya and extreme southern portions, on top of those figures having other issues as I explain here: desuarchive.org/his/thread/18250129/#18253422

100s to 1000s of sacrificed people a year is still a lot of religious murder, and if your metric for evil is purely based on the number of religious killings on an annual basis, then yeah, the Mexica might take the top spot. But those are rookie numbers compared to many genocides, political or ideological purges, or holy wars (which I do think sacrifices are comparable to since enemy soldiers were the largest fraction of victims): Hundreds of thousands of Cathars were killed in a religious purge within a few decades in 13thC france for example

It should also be noted here that victims of sacrifice could be well treated: These were formal religious ceremonies with rules for who could be selected, how they were treated, what they had to do before and during their sacrifce and what happens to the remains after. In pic related for instance you can see there's multiple paragraphs worth of precise traits and conditions the main impersonator and sacrifice to Tezcatlipoca had to meet, and lived in luxury as the god for months before having to preform ritual duties and tasks in the weeks leading up to his sacrifice and during the ceremony.

Captured soldiers allegedly lived with their captor's family and were mourned by them as a family member after their death, and while this is all surely romanticized to a degree and not all sacrifices were so glamorous (Child sacrifices to the rain god Tlaloc were tortured to cry as much as possible, some sacrifices to fire deities were as well with embers and hot ashes, and victims who weren't impersonators or even some who were may not have been treated as well leading up to their deaths), the sample size from the Huey Tzompantli excavations show that the victims were in disproportionately good health and physical condition prior to their deaths and even foreign victims lived in Tenochtitlan for months or years prior to their deaths, supporting those claims.

There was also a lot more to Mexica society then war and sacrifices, and I would strongly argue that the role of sacrifices in Mexica culture is drastically overemphasized in popular imagination and conversation. The discussion I initially replied to wasn't even specifically about sacrifices in particular (rather about if the Aztec get treated with sensitivity in pop culture or not), yet >>97260155 and >>97259747 flipped out solely because I didn't bring them up.

Like yes, it's an important aspect of Mexica and Mesoamerica religion in general (and it should be stressed here that ALL Nahua subgroups, not just the Mexica, and all other separate Mesoamerican civilizations entirely, also did sacrifices: The Mexica simply did it the most), but it wasn't even the most common form of offering (which would be things like incense, ceremonial goods, animals, or small amounts of your own blood), and religion also wasn't the only facet of their society.

The average person was not constantly living in fear of being sacrificed or witnessing it much. Their typical day was waking up, doing morning ritual offerings, eating breakfast, the father/husband would go out to work farms or public construction while the wief would do domestic work, weave, and buy/sell things at market, kids would stay at home and teens would go to a school, they'd have dinner and take baths, and go to bed (See: desuarchive.org/his/thread/7617096/#7619771). See also youtube.com/watch?v=wsNdYD8DODo which IIRC is a decent video.

Tenochtitlan was one of the largest cities in the world at the time and had a functional, sophisticated society: You had merchants, diplomats (and strict diplomatic rules and procedures, which is a big part of why Cortes got as far as he did, since he identified himself as representing the Spanish king), scribes, poets (existential and moralistic poems/songs were a big thing, as was rhetorical public speech), schools (arguably the first universal public education system) judges and legal courts (both local community ones and a series of state appellate courts), botanical gardens (not just used as recreational sites of relaxation for nobles, but also stocked medical herbs and were used to experimentally test their properties and growing conditions, and to categorize plants and flowers) and more.

cont:

Even if you want to argue that they're among the most brutal or evil cultures in history, that doesn't justify or excuse the obsessive need to center every conversation about them on sacrifices, when as the image in >>97259897 shows, even the Conquistadors and Catholic friars conquering, colonizing, and converting them made it a point to praise other aspects of their society and stressed that it was worth learning about and even preserving, or at least select parts.
