  Plus, they were following him very begrudgingly since he was the only one who could lift the curse.

  And he also didn’t know that he would march to the Black Gate next.

  Which was also the real reason Hitler built the Autobahn (or rather, continued and expanded the plans that already existed).

  He also coined the popular German insult “Leck mich am Arsch” (literally “lick my ass”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W reddit post. Is this based?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean that should have been obvious when they turned a dystopian novel into the bluprint for reality TV. It’s called Big Brother for a reason. Movies like The Truman Show and EdTV showed the dark side of being under constant public surveillance and now influencers turn their lifes into reallity TV willingly.

  Kind of, but it’s actually good quality and a lot cheaper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got one of the last ones for christmas⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They also do hilarious knockoffs of franchise they don’t have the licence for. Like a pirate ship with black sails that is simply called N.P.B. (which stands for Not-Black-Pearl). The cool thing is the quality is comparable to Lego but the sets are more than half the price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got one of the last ones for christmas⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, me too, got the Defiant and the DS9 Station (with another mini-Defiant).

  Yep, at this point, never actually releasing the game is part of the business model.

  There will be a lot of obscure DC heroes in this as well, though.

  They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in “delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your most recent games played?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not OP, but it’s a very good game that gets better the longer you play it. It more like Mass Effect than Dragon Age in many ways though, but the final stretch especially was almost on the same level as the suicide mission of ME2 IMO. Characters and gameplay is great, dialogue and level design could have been better and the only element that really sucked for me are the godawful outfits and weapons and lack of variation thereof.

  They’re going to outsource that to AI-robots soon. And then I hope they malfunction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age The Veilguard Head Won't Reveal Sales Numbers Of Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a pity, it’s actually a really good game. The gameplay especially is probably the best out of all the Dragon Age games and the final stretch is one of Bioware’s best IMO. I think the problem with the game is that it starts out fairly weak but then gets better and better. Some of the best companions only join after a lot of hours of playing. Probably not the smartest choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Standoff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a story element in Babylon 5. Some of the ancient alien races had evolved to the level of gods. One of them guided several alien races, in our case creating the myth of angels.

  Speaking of raw milk, bird flu has just been disovered in it. Buckle up, the next pandemic is coming. Maybe it will go down in history as the MAGA flu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FYI: Medieval monks were dumb.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bingo. There is no real historical proof that Arthur existed (that I know of), all historical mentions of him are likely themselves taken from already poetic sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the context of Germany, “liberal” means being for capitalism unbridled by the state but still generally progressive policies culturally, with more rights for minorities and such. And corresponding party is FDP. Someone considered “left” would be for more social policies and government control of capitalism (traditionally SPD), extreme left would be following tenants of communism, opposed to the US and friendly with Russia (The party The Left and the new Sarah Wagenknecht party) Someone considered conservative or “right” would be against social policies and try to reduce control of capitalism (CDU) extreme right would be plain fascists (AfD), ironically also aligned with Russia now. The Greens are a special case, since they were originally a single issue party comcerned with environmentalism, but since the SPD has largely vacated their social policies since Schröder was chancellor, they have become more and more the new “social” party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The word “liberals” means something else in Germany than in the US. The closes analogy would be Democrats=SPD and Republicans=CDU, which are the two biggest parties. When Hitler took over, the CDU fell in line while the SPD resisted. The SPD then was also a lot more leftist than it is now. It’s pretty much centrist now and only slightly more to the left than the conservative CDU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whelp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.

  Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.

  I call bullshit on that one. Santa is red and white because Coca Cola drabbed him in their colors and it catched on. Before that Santa was usually portrayed in white and green.
