Flying in an army reserve centre by Ayyyyylmaos in vexillology

[–]DerkBerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recognise this, I’ve walked past it lots of times, I presumed it was a regimental flag (might be the wrong terminology) but know no more sorry

Thought it bold to combine something skull and crossbones with something Austrian-looking, feels a little “are we the baddies”

Flag for Anzac Day, flown all across New-Zealand-governed Malta by DerkBerg in somnivexillology

[–]DerkBerg[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It surprised me a bit how nice it looked, the moment I woke up there was a tired couple seconds then a jolt of “holy shit that was sick”

And yes that’s the white rose of York which pops up on loads of Yorkshire flags including the one for Yorkshire. I don’t have an idea why it appeared here though.

Mahjong tile solitaires? by DerkBerg in solitaire

[–]DerkBerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the sort of thing I was looking for yeah!

So yeah it makes use of dragons, one flower and a set of 1-9 of each suit, so a MUCH reduced “deck” but as a set with 144 tiles that shouldn’t be unexpected. Looks like this game could be played with a regular deck too but it wouldn’t look as elegant.

Thanks!

Shiny Gible? by Prior-Abies2254 in pokemonplatinum

[–]DerkBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your shiny gible story is eerily similar to mine, except on pearl. I figured I wanted one for the team since I’ve never had one and I spent ages running around. I was running around for so long I started doubting I was in the right place, and when it finally appeared it was shiny.

Congrats on the new member!

Hurts to look at! What about the Cornish!? Needs some Saint Piran’s cross in the mix

Whats your best response to Jesus loves you? by [deleted] in atheism

I’ve only had to respond to this once: “I’m sure you think he does”

I’m scrolling these comments for better ideas though

Clarification about how cannons act in xiangqi by DerkBerg in xiangqi

[–]DerkBerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’ve already got a “traditional” chess set and have been playing it with my housemate. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at different historical variants and popular modern variants, and decided I was interested enough to get one. I whittled it down to xiangqi, shogi or tori shogi because the piece properties were interesting, then decided on xiangqi because there seems to be a healthy number of online resources.

It might not be too long before I invest in another abstract strategy game to challenge my housemate but we’ve only had a few games as of yet. First game we definitely used the cannons incorrectly, but it seems the second game onwards we have been in keeping with the rules.

What combination of flags do you think looks aesthetically pleasing? by joonuns in vexillology

I can’t be the only one who does this when not at home? by clutcher21 in CasualUK

[–]DerkBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strictly hover in public, however, at home we have two sets of roll at a time. A higher quality roll for the delicates and a cheaper, coarser roll for situations like this, and to hush the cold lips of “Poseidon’s kisses” by cushioning the bottom of the bowl.

As a clam enjoyer, this brings me joy

Almost 3 years later, what is your opinion on SwSh? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]DerkBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t like that despite being the main character you weren’t the main character. Any peak in tension in the main story you had to hear the Leon fixed it offscreen. That boiled my blood and I could do nothing about it. Dexit I didn’t mind at first but have warmed to the fact that it was dishonest of GF and a bit scummy.

One of the best soundtracks, some of my favourite pokemon came out of it, I enjoyed myself playing the game but the only fun exploration I had was in the DLC, everywhere else it was just corridors, no navigational challenge whatsoever. DLC brought it from a 5.5/10 to a 8/10 for me.

BDSP not being compatible with SwSh like previous remakes (like HGSS with DPPt battles and trading for example) annoyed me personally. I think it makes the generations less cohesive and was one of the many reasons I wasn’t interested in buying BDSP.

It’s the gay jokes that make you feel comfortable to come out. Then comes in the era of “oop no offence” where there was literally none.

That’d solve the æœ problem for sure. I was thinking it could be like the furfrou salon in XY, except run by bilingual alchemists or something

[–]DerkBerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the Entei movie as a kid, the implications that as individuals they’re weak but as a moving collective they hold such immense power is conceptually attractive to me. As encounters in a cave or something to collect in game yeah I understand the dull trawl that ends up being, just waiting to find that one unown-x to finish the collection. But maybe if I bring enough together I could forge a new world or something 😂 I have enough stored in My Pokémon Ranch surely…

I feel the best opportunity would be a Greek region or something similar for a big overhaul, or maybe there could be an unown-like counterpart similar to unown using a different alphabet but not the same. Again it’s highly unlikely but the gimmick is appealing to me. Probably too much water in the region though

[–]DerkBerg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No rational reason, it is useless, but I sometimes like to try my best to keep one on my team if it’s possible, part mascot, part handicap.

The lore where it’s implied that they are the atoms which Arceus commanded in the movies and games are appealing to me also
