Dumb Little Stories: The Pathetic Lore Nerd

Checking my email, sees a message from Gamestop

"By the Nine! Pre-Order Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind to Receive a Bonus"

I am immediately flushed with rage.

"What idiot wrote this?! The Elder Scrolls Online takes place centuries before the birth of Tiber Septim, who become the Ninth Divine, Talos, upon his death! Before him, there were only Eight Divines, so there's no way that anyone during the events of ESO would say 'By the Nine,' because there was no Ninth Divine yet! Though, then again, there is the argument, mostly held by elves, that Tiber Septim did not become a god and there are still only 8 Divines, but there is SO much supporting evidence of his apotheosis and the elves, especially the Thalmor, need to just get over it and stop whining about a man becoming a god when literally dozens of elves are, or were at least close to gods.

...

Also pre-ordering is bullshit."

Wow, I seriously need a life
