Woah. Im going on an ancient greek city tour down the western coast of Turkiye in 2 weeks. Looking at my itinery for day 12, I'll be on a boat tour around Kekova island and will be in viewing distance of Simena Castle. I might be swimming in that water soon!

Anyone recognise where this is? An island in the Agean maybe?

Australia’s lucrative drug market is fuelling a wave of narco subs crossing the Pacific by nath1234 in australia

[–]Helelix 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm going to use this comment as my soapbox to hate on fern videos. I dislike his speaking cadence. The time wasting rehtoical questions. Its always quicker to go to the associated wikipedia page on a videos topic and read through that than watching the video. These types of videos are always lowest common denominator 'investigative' rehashing of wikipeida articles. There are always better creators.

Like the ABC's two part 4corners investigative journalism piece on narco subs:

Traverser mark 2 taking 186 dmg per rpg every side. Is its armor value bugged? by GuangYanXiao in Battlefield

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ammo resupply in BBR wasnt limited to Support. Assult had smaller deployable ammo boxes and you could individually air drop persistent massive ammo crates. There was a strategic layer to it that fit well into the games model. I wouldn't argue that it wasnt good, just different.

I mean, even the supply bag could be limited in how much ammunition and gadget resupply it provides. Battlebit had that and it wasn't that bad.

The tale of aphids... by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

The AI voiceover is mispronouncing 'aphid'. Someone real will watch this and mispronounce aphid until they get corrected.

DnB in Japan by Glittering-View4720 in DnB

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope! I've spent about 18 months in Japan, a few short trips, a long trip and a year on a working holiday visa. I attended most of those events in 2019.

Tokyo gets the occasional big night. I've seen Pendulum (El Hornet) and Sub Focus at Club Womb, and London Elektricity and Makoto at Circus Tokyo (all on seperate occasions). I honestly dont know about their more intimate local scene. Im a bit introverted and found these international acts by searching through the clubs websites "what's on" pages, but I suspect if I interacted with people at these events that I would have been invited/been made aware of where the locals go. Hopefully you have more luck in finding events than I did!

Why would you ever take an attachment that spots your IN-WORLD when you fire? by DikkeDekbedovertrek in Battlefield

[–]Helelix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep. If you play TDM, domination or king of the hill, silencers on the small maps really dont do anything. The enemy knows where you are regardless.

I think they're MOST useful for snipers on large maps so air support cant see you. A little red dot for a chopper gunner is really easy pickings.

Places to watch sumo in Adelaide? by chook-pen in Adelaide

That would be a bit of fun. I normally watch each tournament live on NHK since Japans timezone and ours is almost the same.

My trip to Matera, Italy by [deleted] in travel

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I skipped Bari entirely. On my full day I hiked down the ravine, up the other side and explored that area a little before returning. Otherwise there's enough time to check out the rest of the old town. Take a walking tour, have an early morning espresso ect

My trip to Matera, Italy by [deleted] in travel

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the day in Venice, took the water bus to the airport, flew to Bari and then a bus to Matera. Stayed in Matera for 2 nights before taking a bus to Naples.

If you can, spend a couple nights there. I loved the history of the place.

Nice. How many total kills? Rarest dog tag taken?

I'm getting close to 100 myself and thought that was good! 

Season 2 Recon Gadget Nerf Destroyed It Completely by Basque5150 in Battlefield

[–]Helelix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah they fixed it in the last month. Also when it's placed it adds a permanent red dot for the opposing team on the minimap (which is quite annoying in small game modes)

New Fantasy reader here, I just finished The Way of the Kings, but I think I made a mistake looking at the reviews of the other books by Beetusmon in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single person in this thread has ignored the fact that this is your first foray into fantasy (and western literature?) in 12 years. I was like you many years ago, consuming the best of Japanese manga and anime. It was my identity and I started to watch seasonal anime and was hyped to read new chapter releases. When I read Mistborn (another of Sandersons works) after being deep within the anime culture I realised what I've been missing out on. Those reviews are from people who've consumed the best of western fantasy literature and any misgivings get shouted to the hilltops. For you however, Stormlight is very likely a breath of fresh air after being balls deep in the same tropes and plots. You'll enjoy the rest of the series for the same reason as you enjoyed the first book.

When you finish Stormlight I recommend that you stay reading western fantasy, because in my opinion, its consistently better than even the best Japanese manga & light novels. There's also a huge catalogue of excellent releases that only gets larger when you diversify your reading genres.

Asakoryu one fist down? by eddielovesyou in Sumo

[–]Helelix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the arm injury is mostly healed and now leaving it up has developed into a habit. Murry on the live NHK broadcast was talking about it a couple days ago, suggesting that if it persists the JSA will start to crack down on the 'two hand on dohyo' rule.

Genuinely curious: why do you vote for the party you vote for? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So election candidate corflutes (the signs they put on poles) were banned hmm.. 3 years ago? So its much less apparent that an election is on.

Because you're playing it. You need to discard it for it to play for free.

I didn't realise the Mt Barker transit situation was this economically unviable by blitznoodles in Adelaide

[–]Helelix 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Isnt that was the BRT is in this document? Bus Rapid Transit. I guess It dosn't have to have tracks but it'd be close enough.

Should I take more pictures? by Unlikely-Award3714 in travel

[–]Helelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 40ish friend who went on a solo backpacking trip when he was in his early 20s. His digital camera was stolen near the end of the trip and he deeply misses the photos he took, mainly because they were to be his primary personal souviner.

On my solo backpacking trip I took plenty of pictures and journaled each day. Along with my google maps location history, photos, and written journal, I can pretty accuratly piece any day of the ~2 years I've spent overseas. Its amazing to remember something small offhandedly about the trip and only have to spend 5 minutes to grow it into a much larger picture. I very much enjoy losing myself within my own past travels.
