Please don't put anachronistic items in the game

anachronistic - belonging to a period other than that being portrayed.

I hope there won't be sunglasses, baseball caps, etc. It just really breaks the immersion for me. However, I'm less bothered about adaptations to Halloween, Christmas, and such (for holiday events, I don't mean I want a Santa Clause cosmetic).

Anachronistic, nice word something new I have learnt today

Look up defenestration if you’re not familiar with that word. I use it as often as possible (which isn’t often).

I once googled: "rare english words that no one ever uses"
I was not disappointed! xD
- Kerfluffle
- Hullaballoo
- Ragamuffin
- Gobbledygook
- Poppycock

Alas, none of those words were new to me.

Flink was new, so I looked it up and found out it’s not an English word, so it shouldn’t have been included.

I will admit that I only know what an aglet is because Phineas and Ferb devoted an episode to Aglet Awareness.

Other than that I don’t think of any of those words being rare.

I try to fit in "discombobulation" whenever I can.

Flink is debatable tbh:

“Flink” is, however, found all over the internet, variously defined as “a group of twelve cows,” “at least twelve cows,” and so on. Obviously it’s not impossible for a word or usage to originate on the internet. But this isn’t “lolcat” or “spam,” and “flink” is widely presented as an established term on lists of collective animal nouns (“pod” of whales, “murder” of crows, etc.). Something is fishy.

Poking around on the trail of “flink,” I came upon what may be the explanation for its apparently sudden appearance sometime around 2002. In an article in one of the behind-the-scenes parts of Wikipedia, a user suggests that “flink” might be a fanciful invention based on the “cow” of that “cowardly” in the OED definition, and that, furthermore, “flink” might actually be a “mountweazel” that has, so to speak, escaped into the wild.
