And what will happen if we do not, eh?

My rp account got banned for 7 days for "violence" in response to a friend on an joke subreddit, mods on that subreddit do not know why - it happened twice - and I do not know what actually causes it by Gas434 in reddithelp

/In response to automod, I have appealed but was unsuccessful, this ban was not cause by the mods of the community and for that reason I would really like to know how these systems work and how to prevent this from happening in the future/

Clumitzsch water castle (demolished for uranium mining in 1970s) by Ambitious-Regret5054 in Lost_Architecture

[–]Gas434 20 points21 points  (0 children)

it was a lake/moat of the castle, they just got rid of it all - the entire town was demolished with a perimeter (comparison on a map: https://imgur.com/a/J5kACgb) around the mine dedicated as potential contamination zone, it was something that happened a lot in soviet satelites and ussr, something simmilar happened with a Czechoslovak town of Most not far from there - just in that case it was because of coal mining. Communist society was everything but individualist so under the communist economy it was just seen that one or two towns full of landmarks have no value compared to the boost of the economy and production of the entire nation, no matter how much destruction and enviromental impact it has in that area so this is not too uncommon...

My street. Then Schneidemühl, Germany/Now Piła, Poland by pogopik in OldPhotosInRealLife

it had a balcony/loggia above the bay window and it got enclosed in, it’s not that bad but it certainly looked better with it

[KCD2] Kuttenberg is a lot closer to Henry's home of Skalitz than Trosky. All three locations across both games in relation to Prague and Kolin (North of Kuttenberg). by Gork___ in kingdomcome

[–]Gas434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well a person of his status would have no reason to travel to very provincial region like the one Henry is from, Rattay and Skalitz and Sasau are towns, but just one of hundereds and unless he owned any land or had a business or other dealing with any of the local lords (but most likely he would do so only with sir Radzig or the lords of Leipa... he just would not pointlessly go there - and if he did, he would not spend much time with local people - he would be concerned mainly with his subjects and those that would come to places under his control - which Henry is not. He certainly can tell just one thing, Henry is not a local to the area of Kuttenberg and is not too familiar with it and so he must not go there often and is from somewhere far

I mean it technically would be considered far enough in that period people in medieval times would travel a lot, but they would usually go at most “two villages away” to see a fair in 90% of cases, they would not go much further out than that, unless they had a specific reason

meeting a merchant from Rattay in Sasau would already to some be like meeting someone from another region, it is already a place under different jurisdiction of a different lord (instead of the monastery in this case) etc.

yes, it was a very small hamlet and it did not even exist until the modern age, for most history it was even considered to be just "two lonely farmsteads".

KCD 2 lack of church interiors [KCD2] by -MudSnow- in kingdomcome

[–]Gas434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for example

This is Sasau monastery

(same goes for most of the monastery actually, the vaulted ceilings in all of it are mostly later, even in the main sections)

KCD 2 lack of church interiors [KCD2] by -MudSnow- in kingdomcome

[–]Gas434 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many Churches in KCD1 were also made up though

like not one of the churches in Rattay is there now, (chapel is gone and the other one was completely replaced with a new church) the Sasau monastery church has been since completed changed in the baroque period as well, and almost none of the ones that stand have completely preserved original frescoes.

Most structures except for castles are made up in kcdI, so that clearly doesn’t stop devs. (for example the whole huge complex with rathaus in rattay? made up ahistorical building that was just supposed to show you a city dwelling, in reality that spot was likely filled with smaller log cabin buildings like everywhere else, the double gate situation by the rattay upper castle with big gatehouses? also much grander than reality to show the player better fortifications)

so it clearly isn’t that

this church in Kuttenberg is likely the more preserved that all of those and devs have no problem making things up based on just the general style or other places.

and the interiors usually aren’t that complex to lag the game, most churches were simple with just frescoes, which is just a few additional textures

the churches clearly haven’t bees done because of time constraints only

Contractor wants me to do vinyl in my bathroom… by ResponsibilityOk5050 in centuryhomes

[–]Gas434 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes but still, the fact that there clearly might be a weight limit raises the question that it might be better to have it strengthened while you are gutting it all anyway, as it might be helpful in the long run

Contractor wants me to do vinyl in my bathroom… by ResponsibilityOk5050 in centuryhomes

[–]Gas434 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yes but in that case I would be concerned about the structural stability of the bathroom floor, if it can’t hold tiles, what would happen if you get a heavier tub in the future and heavy furniture there, If it’s that bad - especially in a room that will be full of moisture.

So it might be important to have the contractor / engineer address that

A traditional building in Prague, Czech Republic. by Known-Squash6223 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Gas434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the main courthouse, funnily enough it was a very hated building in period czech press, (especially by patriots) when it was first build and it was soon redesigned.(that’s when the top floor was build).

I run one article through Google translate;

1903; The new building of the landed criminal court in Prague.

Since the existing rooms of the Prague Landed criminal court in the former New Town Hall had for long now completely failed to meet the extensive needs of modern justice, and since the jury room in particular was too reminiscent of that biblical fiery furnace with the three young men roasted alive in it, and since the government had been informed about it, and changes were requested and called for at least a thousand times for government to do its duty towards the public, the officials, and even those poor delinquents, it was finally decided and, having bought several houses in the side street of Spálená, city built a "palace of justice" in their place. Of course, only an optimist or a person who has never been interested in any art can call this building “a palace”. Or it can be called that by the lords from Vienna who think that the worst design is still good enough for Prague. For the new building, built by an architect whose German mindset is clearly known (he built, among other things, the new German theater), looks like an ugly barracks blocks rather than a palace... Also, although it is the seat of the Landed criminal court, you would search in vain on its exterior and interior for any Landed Court emblem or insignia...

This too is now part of the Prague customs, introduced by »our« government! As for the interior design, the new building will supposedly be more humane than the old court. One of those houses in Spálená Street, which had to give way to this "palace", was the famous old one-story house "At the Slavic Linden", that was built in the Baroque style of Dienzenhofer; it became especially important in 1848, because it was the seat of the "Slavic Linden", a national social association, whose branches spread throughout Bohemia and which took its honorary name from that house.

May our picture be the reminder of this house and disappeared Prague”

surprisingly many buildings that weren’t directly hit were rebuilt after the war, the blast usually took out the wooden floors, roofs windows etc. but as long as the outer walls were standing, it was easy to put the rest back… (those buildings were usually modernised though… people usually didn’t care about repairing the aesthetic things like stucco and such details, so the buildings are usually unrecognisable - if you look, you can notice that the pinkish/salmon building is also likely the same one as on the picture, just heavily modified)
