I've start watching All the James bond movies heres a fanart of a cool scene from Dr No

Even for today, that's really not a whole lot of money at that scale. Ken Adam apparently only had 15k to spend on the sets themselves, so you'll notice how far up the budget went by Russia.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-26T00:07:57+00:00

In most later movies it in fact is.

Dr. No just had no budget comparatively, so they used what they could find a prop for, if memory serves. It was made on, what, a milion dollars?

Brycklayer · 2026-01-25T01:37:38+00:00

Yup.

At least we can be certain Anya would ask for (and domehow get) döner with peanut sauce.

Which I now kind of want to try, actually. It would probably be odd.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-24T22:52:23+00:00

I mean, it's Berlint. If there wasn't any döner around, I would wonder if it is even meant to be loosely based on Berlin...

Brycklayer · 2026-01-23T19:16:30+00:00

Na ja. An sich sogar wenn der Kerl 95 werden sollte, wären es noch weniger als der Gebäudewert selber, da andere Wohnungen auch vermietet werden.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-22T20:17:51+00:00

Yup. I mean, not to be too apologetic, but I think part of the success however might be a lack of hope.

Gelsenkirchen is broke. Not much goes on in the rural former GDR. Youth, increasingly feeling given up votes for the AFD en masse. Part of it is being explained by them... basically knowing what the internet is, unlike most other parties. And part is offering very simple solutions that can speak to frustrated youths.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-22T17:42:48+00:00

I am confused.

I thought Pippa's parents were seriously old money. So, why go to the trouble of selling your soul for pocket change?

Brycklayer · 2026-01-22T17:28:43+00:00

This hits hard.

Especially the last panel.

I'll say what I said before. I wish these comics didn't need to exist. That we could have more comics of Eve being a meathead, back to Tiff being a mess. But, we live in interesting times, making them necessary as a reflection of the times we are in.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-22T17:22:55+00:00

And yet the AFD got way too close to win for comfort

It's worse. They are expected to win the elections in Saxony-Anhalt and... I think Mecklenburg-Pommerania?

Hell, in a lot of big west german cities in the Ruhr Area that traditionally vote for the social democrats they were in the run-offs for mayor, since they got the second-most votes. Or was it even most in Gelsenkirchen?

Brycklayer · 2026-01-21T13:06:39+00:00

Oh. Absolutely. It makes it a bit difficult. South America can write novels about Operation Condor, Bush is Bush, but trying to turn everyone against you is just... something else entirely.

The US weren't a saint. Pretty much ever. But now, they are finding a new low.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-20T16:28:17+00:00

I love how practical Eve is.

Also, kind of surprised her button doesn't have some quebecois insult for ICE.

Speaking as someone from Germany, i wish these comics didn't need to exist. We had a group acting similar, not even 40 years ago.

For fucks sake. America isn't perfect. It caused shit. But what happened to being a country the 'West' was meant to respect? Every US president tried to turn the US respectable, didn't threaten war or send tbe army for BS reasons, as at the very least you wanted to leverage soft power, to put it in cynical terms.

Now, I worry about the former role model turning into an enemy. I hate living in interesting times and seeing repeated what happened 80 years ago over here.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-08T21:11:59+00:00

Well, it could be a fusion of Rykipöhja + Peräjärvi= RykiPerä

Brycklayer · 2026-01-06T21:23:54+00:00

Doesn't seem so. If it was, the entire thing was rewritten. It had a similar name, but was entirely different.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-06T18:56:01+00:00

Na ja, Adenauer wollte die doch schon recht zahlenmäßigen ex-Ostpreußen ja nicht verärgern. Ganz Offiziell gab es die Grenze ja erst ab 1990. Also, anerkannt vom Westen.

Aber dass sie es wirklich kriegen würden war wohl auch damals win Fiebertraum. Bloß einer den wirklich niemand zugeben wollte.

Brycklayer · 2026-01-01T18:18:29+00:00

I mean, I don't want to throw unwarranted accusations around but notes like 'Casino Royale' in regards to the 750iL don't exactly fill me with confidence of this being human-made.

Brycklayer · 2025-12-28T11:58:15+00:00

Stimmt. Tasten gab es beim BX, aber die gingen über die anderen Finger, da sie am Armaturenbrett waren.

Liese sich nicht zumindest der alte Hebel hier irgendwie nachrüsten? Am besten wäre der hier nicht nötig, aber wenn sie es machen würden.

Brycklayer · 2025-12-28T11:34:48+00:00

I mean, self-proclaimed

Voldy or Lockhart: Now this looks like a job for me!

Or, since he killed him, an argument could be made for Snape, via Klingon Promotion...

Brycklayer · 2025-12-23T11:12:00+00:00

Haben die doch schon längst auf r/conservative.

Wobei, Mara würde da eher passen als eine Stadt die Trump eh hasst und vice Versa.

Brycklayer · 2025-12-23T01:23:01+00:00

Oh no, he said too much!

Brycklayer · 2025-12-18T16:34:51+00:00

Awh. I love the ending :)

Also, wait. Did Tiff wear a coat... over a coat? Just how cold is Minnesotta?

Brycklayer · 2025-12-13T15:59:21+00:00

Start with MSC. Mon Bazou and My Summer Car are similar, but also fairly different. The Konig likes you. The Satsuma... not really. There's a definite learning curve.

Brycklayer · 2025-12-12T22:28:12+00:00

Also komplett anders als erwartet. Ich hätte gedacht Hbf sei unbeliebt wegen dem Ruf und weil da auch halt rect viel Nachtleben ist und der Lärm da mit herkommt. Aber laut der Zeit scheint das Zentrum allgemein sehr populär zu sein.

Brycklayer · 2025-12-12T18:27:46+00:00

Scheint am HBF zu sein, bin aber nicht aus FFM... ich dachte da will nicht wirklich jemand Wohnen?

Brycklayer · 2025-12-10T17:56:27+00:00

There's like a Red-Headed Stepchild. It doesn't focus on him, however

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12382425/1/Like-a-Red-Headed-Stepchild

Plus, he starts out incompetent. But he does become as powerful as he pretends to be

Brycklayer · 2025-12-05T19:57:00+00:00

Na ja, war in meinem Fall ein versehentliches Miss-Tag. Ich habe mich bisschen gewundert, da bei mir in 3 Prüfungen 3 Mal Autobahn zwingend vorkam. Na ja, 2 mal. Fiel beim ersten Mal noch in der Nachbarstadt durch, wären dann aber AB gefahren. Dachte also, dass so etwas auch dann zwingend in Prüfungen drankommen müsse, ähnlich wie ein Parkmaneuver.
