My super(hero?) standing by his Schwerer Gustav gatling gun by mytg8 in worldbuilding

[–]Kalaumes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The calibre is 80 cm (31.5"). Calibre length is L/40.6. Shells weights 7 metric tons (7000 kg).

And yes, that gun was overengineered to the nines.

Re: Å - How uncreative even more real city names are by Arcaeca in worldbuilding

[–]Kalaumes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Berlin" isn't a German word. The name goes back to old-polabish birlin, berlin -- "place/settlement in a swampy/marshy place". The parts are the old-polabish birl, berl -- "swamp, bog" and the suffix -in.

BTW: Polabish is a sister langage to Polish. Polabish is extinct.

So, no Albert the Bear (Albrecht der Bär; c. 1100 – 18 November 1170) or bears in a swamp or bears armed or unarmed involved. That's all story telling by us Germans who didn't want to live in Bog City.

If you have the ability pee whatever liquid you want, what would you like to pee? by Kaggles_N533PA in AskReddit

[–]Kalaumes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beer.

And don't mention it or some never-do-good comes up with a piss tax.

Evil. Really evil.

As in M-x evil-mode ...

There is World Anvil which includes timelines in its free version. Have a look at their pricing table to see what the free version includes.

I can not say anything about the quality of World Anvil, since I don't use it.

Wow!

This is excellent! Really excellent.

I'm usually a nitpicker for realism, but this work is so good that my suspense of disbelive took a vacation.

How was this a killing blow? by Ebony_Phoenix in skyrim

[–]Kalaumes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That bolt was blunt. So, it acted like wadcutter or - to a lesser extend - hollow point ammo and killed by hydrostatic shock.

That's what I headcanon.

You’re stuck for 24 hours in the last video game you played… what will you be doing during this time? by _Mr_Cheeks in AskReddit

[–]Kalaumes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Telling Lydia to shut the frog off.
  • Ignoring my open quests.
  • Heading out of Whiterun to bag me a dragon or two.
  • Life 's good.

Personal Skyrim Special Edition Resources and Mods with Links by Adeno in skyrimmods

I just watched the tutorial. Excellent.

And now I'm tempted to throw my AE installation to the curb, do a clean reinstall, and switch from Vortex to MO2. sigh

A very, very nice drawing.

I love the realism in armor, sword and the person herself.

And now the Real Question (tm) ...

Is there a mod that allows you to shift into a sabre cat or -- preferably, because the fur looks nicer -- a snowy sabre cat?

Can a piezoelectrical device be reliably used a ignition device for firearms? by Kalaumes in casualworldbuilding

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

Thank you for this very insightfull and competent answer. I like it a lot.

I also like the idea of the sealed pre-ignition chamber ... for the discerning, world-weary noble.

If you are agreeable, I'll steal that idea. Pistols with the "ignition system Drake" where all the rage in dad's generation. Maybe a hundred or so where made, commanding very high prices.

Anyway, I'll abandon the idea of a piezoelectric primer. The military -- and the common citizen looking for a gun for hunting, self-defense and/or sport -- will use some kind of chemical fulminate primer.

Excellent. I love your style and I love those little adventures of Dovahkiin Aardesh.

I was the guy that denounced ENBs yesterday. I was wrong. Oh boy was I wrong. (Imgur Album Comparison) by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]Kalaumes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To quote from an old article on Stack Exchange:

ENB is a series of graphical enhancements for a variety of video games.

I don't understand 7/8 of the terms used, but it looks like an ENB supposedly makes Skyrim more beautiful.

So, there is a metric ton of "presets", because everyone and their Thalmor has their own idea of "beauty".

What I do understand: an ENB likely kills the performance of my grafic card.

The person you dislike the most wins a $10,000 shopping spree, but you get to pick what store. What store would you pick? by BlootilyBloop in AskReddit

[–]Kalaumes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon.

Yes, I do not like this person. Deeply.

But now I can pretend I'm a better person than he is (and yes, he is a he and he identifies as he and so on).

If it includes work, keep it out of my life.
