To me, this kind of stuff always feels like propaganda. Hate it in every game. Reminds me of The Division right now, where there are secret sleeper agents who will be activated in an emergency and of course they only do good. Please, we all know that if such a thing exists in real, it's always 110% some fascist crap. /Edit: Had to edit my post multiple times because it always gave me some error message. Did some try&error and found out that it won't let me write sleeper agents in "" - Makes no sense to me. Conspiracy much? 😄

I think ME3 suffers the most from the story that is going on in the background. "Oh no, the earth is in grave danger and about to be destroyed, we have to hurry! ... But first let me visit that place there to do those side quests."

I mean, if you give them all the same animation and execute that animation on all units at the same time... yeah of course it will be perfectly synced.

True, but as sad as it sounds, Yemen is not right around our neighborhood.

Almost everyone was, even Emma Watson. Not sure if all of them did something illegal tho. You're right. That's why we should let russia rape and pillage the country. That's much better. 😄

I think it's a good time to clean house. Also put them on trial for treason or something, since they actively decided to put the country at risk.

Heh, yesterday I was sitting on the couch, watching the train go its circle, and it did make me feel kinda sad(? /edit: maybe nostalgic is a better word). Gave me flashbacks to my very early childhood. We had a TT-size train with some wagons back then. It was cool. Haven't seen that in probably 25 years now. We still have the train and wagons packed up somewhere in storage. But yeah, the prices of those models are wild.

Few weeks ago I was thinking of getting myself back into model train stuff. Long story short ... Bought a starter set for the rails and other hardware on the cheaper end, since this is merely some toying around. However, I spared no costs with the actual train. 😄 I'm honestly amazed at how detailed this stuff is. Especially at this size. Even the steps to get into the train have little holes in them. The handrails are barely 1mm in size. The lights and sounds are awesome. Also the train actually feels heavy. Even if you fully crank up the dial, it takes a while to get up to speed, and the engine sounds react accordingly. It made me understand why the prices are so high for this stuff.

I'd take all of this with a (very big) grain of salt if it's that big in the news. Gives me flashbacks to last year.

Interesting video. No idea how much truth is in it since I have no real idea of the topic, but it does kinda feel again as if Poland was just bluffing / puffing for their own elections. /edit: Some of the video comments go into more detail of why Poland can't send the tanks (again, no idea how valid), so as usual it's not as black and white as it seems at first.

We're sending tanks now. /Edit: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/krieg-in-der-ukraine-deutschland-schickt-leopard-panzer-a-e2dde871-88d0-4cf5-8aae-482d58fd850f

It needs to allow the creation of mods if they want this thing to survive. /Edit: Apparently it runs on Unity. So basically there will be a big hype on release and then it will slowly be forgotten and people keep playing JA2 1.13 instead.

People pay to consume things that make them miserable all the time.

And if you want to post in the politics thread, you have to pay double.

That banner is waaaaay too big. It's like getting hit in the face with a sledge hammer. Especially that crazy color on black background. I wouldn't know, I block everything. : >

tbh at this point I think we simply do not have any Leopard tanks to give. Just few months ago in a training exercise with our new Pumas, it was found out that not a single one of them was in actual working condition, so...

Attack on Titan: The Final, Final, Final, This is really the Final Season-season. 🥲 At this point I just want it to end. The last one already felt like it was just a waste of time.

I habe absolutely no idea why they don't want to send tanks. None of the arguments make sense to me. I guess russia really must have some serious dirt on them for this to go that way.

Here's an interesting article about how the war affects a polish city at the border: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2023-01-13/putin-s-war-in-ukraine-turns-sleepy-polish-city-into-unlikely-global-airport-hub

Your Name was great, but I didn't really like Weathering With You. Can't really remember why now, since it's been a few years. Guess the story was uninteresting to me / I got bored and checked out inbetween and then wasn't able to get back into it anymore. Or maybe because the story just kinda went along and then the movie just ended... idk.

Are you telling me Joseph Joestar did not have 6 fingers?

The way russia is using prisoners as scouts for enemy positions is really awful.

There is no winning against those companies. Only thing you can do is sneak in at night and torch their equipment. It won't stop them, but maybe it makes one feel better for a moment or two.

For about a week or two now I have been looking into H0 model train stuff. I'm at a point now where I am seriously considering if I can make space for something. Just throwing around random ideas in my mind, scribbling down some possible layouts, etc. A part of me still hopes that I will drop that idea again, because the costs will be astronomical. 😄 The cool trains alone are already in the 200 to 300 bucks ballpark. Then the rail layout will be very pricey too, depending on the amount of switches and special pieces. And that's just the bare minimum -- would have to build a custom table for the setup, deal with the electrics, just get things running. Not to forget the amount of research I still have to do for this. It would be quite a big project that would occupy me for a couple years for sure.

Out of curiosity, what exactly is it that Bolsonaro has done for those people? Did he actually improve their lives or did he just do the usual "x is bad"-shtick while destroying the amazonas?
