  • That does explain Norsemen being the way it is. Highly recommended btw. It pulls zero punches, but because it is so ridiculous, it's hard to take it seriously.

  • Man bites woman at cherry blossom park in Japan, dies shortly after

  • Move over Florida Man, Osaka Man had entered the Arena

  • What's an online service you happily pay for?

    Jump

  • Roll20. I play D&D twice a week, and the paid features (increased storage & dynamic lighting) are absolutely worth it. It's not even super expensive; just $60/year. Totally worth it for how often I use it!

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • If you haven't done so yet, the next time you start the game, stay in the start menu for a while

  • What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?

    Jump

  • Prague! Went there last September and had a great time. Beautiful and very walkable city, friendly people, and very affordable too. The city castle is an impressive site to behold, and one of the most touristy ones, but very doable if you go in the morning. But there are many other notable things to do and visit, such as the cold-war bunker under the Yalta hotel and the alchemy museum in the Jewish district. If you decide to visit, I would also recommend branching out for a couple of days to visit other cities like Pilsen (where pilsner beer comes from) or Liberec.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

  • Thankfully it's much cheaper whenever a sale is on these days :)

  • My two all-time favourite videogames, one of them kinda obscure and the other very obscure: What Remains of Edith Finch and Kentucky Route Zero respectively.

    What Remains of Edith Finch is a ~2 hour story where you explore your family home as Edith Finch. The Finch family has had a lot of bad luck, and most of its members do not get old. As Edith, you explore the house room by room to see the respective person's last moments. It's not a horror game, though I should put a trigger warning for child and infant mortality for the game. Play it in a single sitting, treat it as an interactive movie. I cannot recommend it enough.

    The other one, Kentucky Route Zero, is a bit harder to recommend to a general audience. The synopsis is as follows: Conway drives deliveries for an antiques shop, the last one he will ever do as the shop is closing down. On his way to his destination, he asks for directions, and is told he needs to take Kentucky highway 0, an underground highway with a hidden entrance. As the game goes on, we explore the mysterious underground world of Kentucky, with its strange inhabitants and culture, and expand our cast of characters along the way. I honestly cannot give a more accurate description of it without giving stuff away. This game has no puzzles or interesting game mechanics. You cannot alter the story much either. What it offers, though, is a glimpse into a surreal world filled with hope, longing, loss, regret, and, most of all, mystery. The game will not answer all your questions. There is no grand reveal before the curtain closes. You can puzzle things together from your exploration only.

    I think that, for many people, it will be quite boring. But it pushes buttons for me that no other media I have encountered does. It is best played at night if you're tired, as the whole game kind of feels like a weird dream that you struggle to recall as you wake up. If that sounds up your alley, well, here you go.

  • I went into the show blind and it was definitely outside of the typical stuff that I watch, but I enjoyed it a lot!

  • Got any good cheap and quick meal tips?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry to hear you are in this situation. There's some great suggestions here already that I am also saving for myself, and I though it high time to talk about our national dish; stamppot.

    Stamppot is a dutch family of dishes that are very simple to make. In essence, it is boiled potatoes, mixed with vegetables and mashed. A little bit of butter/oil to make it smoother. Traditionally eaten with small pieces of bacon mashed through and sausage on the side, but you can also add spices like rosemary + thyme, nutmeg, turmeric + cumin, or even cheese to bring it to taste.

    Typical vegetables/combos:

    • kale
    • carrots + onions (1-1 ratio)
    • sauerkraut
    • lambs lettuce + 1 hard-boiled egg
    • spinach But many vegetables can be used. Some vegetables need to be cooked with the potatoes (the kale, carrots, and onions) and some added after boiling and removing the water (sauerkraut, labs lettuce, spinach). You can even combine vegetables if you wish. Honestly, the sky is the limit.

  • What's your favorite movie that is in a language which you do not speak?

    Jump

  • Im Westen Nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front).

    There are some historical inaccuracies, sure, but it is an amazing movie showing the horrors of trench warfare and the careless nature of the commanding officers in the First World War. It leaves you with a sense of dread, something war movies should do more often imo.

  • A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It

    Jump

  • This is correct. However, many websites/newspapers/magazines/etc. love to get more clicks with sensational headlines that are technically true, but can be easily interpreted as something much more sinister/exciting. This headline is a great example of it. While you interpreted it correctly, or claim to at least, there will be many people that initially interpret it the second way you described. Me among them, admittedly. And the people deciding on the headlines are very much aware of that. Therefore, the headline can absolutely be deemed misleading, for while it is absolutely a correct statement, there are less ambiguous ways to phrase it.

  • Do people actually call their parents by their name (as in First-name basis)? Have you ever done that? Or witnessed someone doing that?

    Jump

  • First name is very rare here in The Netherlands, but these days it is quite common to use the "casual" form of you (je/jij) rather than the polite form (u). That was very different some 70 years ago.

  • What is the most controversial TV finale?

    Jump

  • I see a lot of hate for the HIMYM finale and... I truly do not get it. I will not praise it as a cinematic masterpiece, because it isn't. But it is an ending that they have been building up since the very beginning, and it makes perfect sense given the characters and what they went through. There are a lot of show endings that cannot claim that at all, with random last-minute additional arcs or forgetting things from earlier seasons. I haven't seen any of that in HIMYM. So yeah, I think it's a decent ending overall, and I truly do not understand the hate it gets.

    As for GoT; yeah that went into shitshow territory from season 7 for me personally.

  • What the most memorable moment from any video game?

    Jump

  • Lives, all mortal lives, expire Souls go to their doom in flame Forevermore

    There are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.

  • Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

    Jump

  • Yup, installed Linux Mint for my 60+yo mother. She hardly uses her laptop and does not need anything advanced. We set it up, installation went very smooth (obviously), set up her browser so she can use it like she's used to, and we figured out how to use the printer. Thankfully it was no hassle at all, it just connected via USB and interacted very well with the printing and scanning software that came with Mint. She was already using firefox and libreoffice, so that was no hassle either. So far so good!

  • Unfortunately this makes sense - the original Italian and German fascists were also obsessed with it.
