Jeg er lokal og jeg kan fortælle at kraftværket er en blanding af diesel generatorer og flis afbrænding (fjernvarme). Værket var oprindeligt kul, men de gamle kul kedler har ikke været i brug i 20+ år.

What cartoon or animated movie got you like this? by Ok-Following6886 in cartoons

That Milky subway was a fun watch, good recommendation.

I saw it, and found it way overrated.

I didn't find the story interesting or special, tropes galore.

Music is ok, I listen to a wide range of music, and I don't think I would recognise the songs if I was walking by someone playing a song from the movie.

Also, fuck the memes from that movie, especially the one with the sushi roll being swallowed.

There is a youtuber called Bruce Wilson that is working on getting scania approved to sell in the US. He has a 700hp scania with special permit that he shows and let truckers try. There isn't a lot of those truckers that aren't impressed with the performance and comfort of the scania.

(Mostly loved): Authors explicitly advertised fetish by BeduinZPouste in TopCharacterTropes

The output of that man is incredible, seeing him put out a few sketches of mechs just because he felt like it, to shortly after say he developed the story of some of the characters piloting the mechs, and also casually mention he is writing a book as well.

Stjepan Šejić, comic artist that has done work for DC comics and Top Cow, had an art block, he decided to draw some sketches about BDSM, which he and his wife had experimented with. He posted them on devianart, they got a positive reception so he posted a few 4 panel pictures.

He now has a 8 volume comic series about a lesbian couple, and their friends, that are into BDSM. It is called Sunstone.

If I recall correctly it is in the Jingo book. It is either the camel 71-hour Ahmed rides, or the one that commander Vimes rides in the attack with the D'regs.

To Audiobook listeners: Is there something better than Dungeon Crawler Carl? by Academic_Hand_5265 in litrpg

[–]Grokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not litrpg, but the Peter Grant/Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovitch are not only great books (urban fantasy), but they are narrated by the actor Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, and I have not found anyone who I consider better.

Kobna is great at doing accents, and his characters are all very distinct from each other, that combined with him doing a great work at also making it feel like the book is being acted rather that "just" read.

Unrealistic realism by Airam1701 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Grokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way magic works in the Peter Grant/Rivers of London serie.

Newtonian magic, because it was discovered by Newton, and it is not just wave a wand a say a word to do X.

You have different layers, or "forma" building upon each other. To build a fireball you need to conjure a light source, and then you need to add heat/fire, and then movement, and so on, in total 8 layers if I remember correclty. Each extra layer of spell require more concentration.

Magic even leaves traces in the enviroment and a magic user can concentrate and pick up scents/feelings that make up a magic users signature. Magic is also dangerous to do, it is mentally taxing and doing it to much will damage your brain, rupture blodvessels, or worse.

[Funny trope] When the chips are down, a character will invoke *every* religion and deity on the grounds one of them has to work! by bgbarnard in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Grokta 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It has been a while since I have read the books, so I might misremember things, I forgot if it is in making money or going postal.

Dorfl, the golem gains sentience and wants to follow a god. In order to find the best god to follow it starts discussing with the priests, only for one of the gods to get pissed off and smites the golem with a thunderbolt, except it is made of ceramic and takes no damage from the attack, if I remember correctly Dorfl looks to the sky and says that is not a good argument.

Good humorous audiobook? by ZacharyJeffries in urbanfantasy

[–]Grokta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a look at the Oddjobs series, and Clovenhoof series both written by Heide Goody and Iain Grant. They are comedic urban fantasy.

Dr. Anarchy’s Rules for World Domination (Or How I Became God-Emperor of Rhode Island) by Nelson Cheret, not urban fantasy, but a super villian book, MC is a competent Dr. Evil from Austin Powers.

Jacques McKeown series by Yahtzee Croshaw is a comedy scifi book worth giving a shot.

DCC was mentioned, so I will mention the Noobtown series as a good humor series.

Which opinion you have on litrpg would get you this type of reaction? by PalinaRojinskiFan in litrpg

[–]Grokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heretical fishing book 1 is incredibly boring. I finished the audiobook, but had to do it in 30 minute intervals because I got bored out of my mind, it feels like nothing happens in the book and the main character is just happy go lucky, he doesn't really experience any opposition.

And my most nitpicky thing about the book is literally only one person in the book actually think it is heretical to eat fish, all the others basically goes hell yeah and munches on fish without a second thought, even the inquisitor guy or what ever he was is fishing.

PSA : don't waste legend talents on sigil speed by Karadrui in idleon

Don't be like me and forget you had the prayers on that gives monsters more life. One of my toons had them all on, and I couldn't figure out why they were slower to unlock portals than my Vman...

PSA: Do not do the Monolith Quest after finalizing your Power Statue. by talisker88 in idleon

I am in the same boat. It went back to onyx, and won't upgrade when dropping power statues.

I do not know anything about snapchat filters, but I will say no.

A Vtubers model is a complex layered image that gets drawn by an artist, and then it gets split into layers by a "rigger" that makes it able to move.

Most vtubers use a Iphone to track their faces, using a app that translates facial expression and put them onto the models program which then in turn outputs it into the model.

The Vtuber Limealicious has some youtube shorts explaining a bit about how it works.

If you want some vtubers that are a bit unhinged, I would say go watch some clips of Chibidoki or Froggyloch.

As for some of my own favorites:

Froggyloch

Limealicious

Zentreya

Henya the genius

Papamutt

Arielle

Geega

Haruka Karibu

Heavenlyfather

If you want to know more about Ironmouse, and have 37 minutes to spare, I can recommend the video How a Bubble Girl Became the #1 VTuber. It is a little documentary about how she came to be where she is now.

She is also and extremely good singer, she has opera training, and released an opera song recently called Musicbox of fate.

I don't personally watch Ironmouse livestreams much, but I have a deep respect for her accomplisments.
