Just a google translate for those who doesn't speak Portuguese... "I killed the hedge mother spider 5 times in a row and the trophy didn't come, I got the mutation but no trophy for killing her, I play on PS5 unfortunately I can't platinum because of this bug in the maternal genes trophy"

Matches my hypothesis, that the Youtube algorithm is a greater demon of Nurgle. It enjoys inflicting despair and resignation on you...

According to my LGBT friends, trans people are lowest in the "pecking order". The group that other LGBT groups will bully and throw to the wolves. I.e. the most vulnerable group with the least friends.

Not normally a fan of “reaction” channels, but I do regularly watch one called ‘The Charismatic Voice’

I don't think the world is fair. Funny thing about rules, laws, legal justice etc. is, it's inherently "unfair". Experience has just shown the world is less likely to descend into complete chaos if there are rules frameworks in place, no matter how much they get twisted, turned and abused for selfish purposes.

Just some German folk music...

Not sure what to think of this... I had such high hopes for BL3, but I never managed more than leveling one of the characters to level 2. The writing and the characters were just rubbing me the wrong way completely. No, I did not expect a new Handsome Jack (best video game villain ever imho), but still... I loved BL2 to death and played the heck out of the Prequel with its own odd Australian flavour. BL1 was good enough for several coop playthroughs in my friend circle, but BL3? Just awful... so bloody awful (the writing).

I'm a very manly man, does that count for anything? It has led to some funny situations and friendly jibes in my closest friend circle (which are mostly people in LGBT circles). From transgender over bisexual to my militant lesbian dentist friend (who already had a stockpile of face masks in 2020, because she had planned to fight the police in the streets, joining the fight against the then Morrison government). Said friends have regularly dragged me to places and events most people miss out on (their loss). Like queer gamer groups (the place where I truly learned to appreciate Cards against Humanity type games), theater plays where Juliette drops Romeo and runs away with her girlfriend, you name it. At some point, they wanted me to try a phone app that morphs you into either more feminine or more masculine features. The feminine appearance was sort of Okish (i'll never feature as a centerfold, that's for sure), but when trying the masculine morphs, they thought the app had broken (apparently my appearance could not be changed into something more masculine by the app, so it simply did nothing) Needless to say, I wouldn't swap those friends for anything in the world really. As for the subject of transgender sports and the fairness/unfairness of it?.... I've often thought about it and probably still am, without getting any closer to making my mind up what I could see as the best approach edit: they once teased me in the theatre, asking me if I didn't feel like the odd one out? Me, looking at the three girls just stated the obvious, because I'm the only guy here? To which the reply from the girls was I was the only straight person in the theatre

Merry Christmas everyone Spent the evening with my dad, my brother and his partner as well as my nephew and his partner. Just to make me feel really old!

Saw ‘Chernobyl’ from HBO No idea how much was authentic and how much was dramatisation, but good entertainment regardless. Not at least when you’re old enough to remember the event unfolding in the Danish, German and Swedish news and you get the message to stay indoors and keep doors and windows closed when radiation levels started to rise…

Woot!

I thought about putting this video in the Ukraine thread, but it's more about military hardware than the politics behind the war...

I would love to spend a year or two close to my family (or what's left of it) Having lived abroad for 20+ years, my trip to Denmark in August sort of reminded of what I've been missing out on....

Arrived in Denmark late Sunday... took a couple of days to shake off the jet lag. Got some kind of bug as a greeting from the cold and clammy weather in northern Europe On a more positive note, staying rent free at my dads place at the moment and he has Netflix. I never had that. Decided to watch the first two episodes of "Arcane". Was surprisingly not sucky. Which I guess is praise coming from me who normally scuff at CGI shows not made by Pixar

Hello world?
