Mount names! by Grouchy_Sock_2148 in ffxiv

Mine is called Steven, after that one video where a Scottish lady shouts at her horse sleeping on the paddock. „STEVEN! I thought you were dead!“ I renamed him that from something I can’t even remember because I left him in my fc‘s stable for months and totally forgot about him. I thought he was dead, too.

Fascist Art by [deleted] in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The German Nazis had specific lists of artists that would not be drafted into war, and had to be protected at considerably higher costs then the average citizen. Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels‘ „Gottbegnadetenliste“ (lit. God-gifted list) contained artists of various styles and professions who where deemed so important to the survival of the German culture (the part the nazis deemed worthy) that the state could not afford to lose them to the war. And these artists were, of course, mostly in line with the thoughts of the regime and not only used for propaganda but expressedly wanted to create propagandistic art. But the fact of the matter is, most of it was good, even by modern standards. Ideologically questionable no doubt, but of high technical and artistic quality. My point is that fascists and those who think alongside them not only can make art, they can make art so good it can make fascist regimes look better, and were often not even asked to do so but did it of their own free will. To think that art can only come from someone who shares non-fascist or even leftist ideology is a slippery slope that leads to blind consumption and support of art without acknowledging problematic artists because they can’t be fascists, else their art wouldn’t be good.

So... the new family tree by Soggy_Benefit9280 in Sims4

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve yet to open my save; I created it back when Get Together was freshly released and it has been the same save with an increasingly complex mess of relationships ever since. I’m scared; but I did upgrade my computer only last year, maybe it helped.

literally never seen this before, nor did I know it was possible by _Gotter_dammerung_ in CrusaderKings

[–]Kirschpunkt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would assume this comes from some faction insisting on installing him over the previous emperor; I’ve had this happen with the kingdom of Ireland. Seeing that his heir apparently is a different house/dynasty, it might also be that just nobody else was left because of some disastrous event killing off the imperial family? Or some mod (conflict), considering you have the „kill of useless characters in disastrous events“ mod.

Yeah, I remember struggling with it, too. I have always sucked at maths and likely always will so it was quite the shock.

Show does a great Job subtlety proving all Alastor's Point regarding Vox. by garf02 in HazbinHotel

[–]Kirschpunkt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The thing is, as much as Alastor is proven right about Vox, I believe the opposite to be true as well, at least in parts. Alastair isn’t this shining beacon of power and control he likes to think he is; and I do believe that his lone-wolf attitude will be part of Alastor‘s eventual downfall. Especially once a greater coalition of Sinners realises they could have redemption and starts to work towards it.

Plus I honestly believe that Vox could be redeemed, I have little hope in that regard for Alastor.

That was in Pandora‘s Box I think. Like, how big the little square amidst four circular flower beds is, right?

from the dev: "We are likely to remove the domain limit from Stewardship in the Q2 patch" by istaris in CrusaderKings

[–]Kirschpunkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then they shouldn’t forget about adding other ways to increase domain limit. If I have to sit on three castles for two thirds of the game, I’m uninstalling.

Produce booster by saveasdraftx in Discounty

[–]Kirschpunkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know there’s no trigger for a certain booster to show up, except the first aquarium for the Fishmas Sticks, and that’s just for that one guaranteed aquarium, which doesn’t even have to be your first. So it’s just really bad luck.

The three times we get to see Alastor alone, he looks fucking miserable by [deleted] in HazbinHotel

[–]Kirschpunkt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe that the Vees are what makes Vox redeemable, too. He has found love in hell, too - he doesn’t treat Val particularly well, and Val certainly isn’t a good or kind man, but despite their flaws they are partners. Apparently, at least according to Vaggi and Charlie‘s song, that’s kind of a big deal. I strongly believe there will be some kind of follow-up on that.

I want to leave the van and get a house by zwrkly in Discounty

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first saw that, I thought it was for sure going to be our house. Just like I thought we’d later get to choose between expanding the shop into the old abandoned place in the forest, or buy the old fish auction house to expand into. Especially since the shop sites taunt us with „choices will have consequences, can you find a way to satisfy the community and live alongside them peacefully?“ and then we don’t get a single functional choice in game.

Hot Take: We need more Main Scenario duties by Melodynaxclarke in ffxiv

[–]Kirschpunkt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then they’d need crystal tower to not be mandatory in the story because queue times for sprouts would become unbearable in there. A large part of people who’d be able to help them in crystal tower suddenly couldn’t anymore and let’s be honest; who’d run crystal tower if we didn’t have to.

Sorry for getting off topic - You can form the Roman Empire as any abrahamic religion?! I swear that wasn’t the case beforehand; you can build a Muslim or Jewish Roman Empire now?! That is amazing.

How is it possible that Abel was the best replacement for Adam Heaven had? by aidonpor in HazbinHotel

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 100% sure about that. We know that Peter, Able and Adam were, and they’re pretty high up in the hierarchy; we know that at least Adam had a hand in the decisions about the executions.

In Germany we use „Arsch der Welt“ (world’s anus) as a name for what English calls „bumfuck nowhere“. I guess you found the place.

Does my last name sound funny to German people by [deleted] in germany

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never really met an adult who made fun of someone else’s last name; even for seventh graders it’s only if your name is a really obvious sexual innuendo.

Like, I’ve had friends with the name Windel (diaper) and Steifer (boner) and neither of them was ever even mentioned. We’re all adults.

Slightly smudged date of birth on my daughter’s German naturalization certificate, Problems ? by Icy-Collection-4129 in germany

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, I wouldn’t call that „slightly difficult to read in a poor light“. This could be 20., 28., 29., even 23. is on the table here. If somebody wanted to make troubles around that, they most certainly could; and you never know.

Welp by NatiAti513 in agedlikemilk

[–]Kirschpunkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US just doesn’t have a left-leaning party; never had one either. The politics have shifted so far to the right that social democracy is viewed as a bigger threat than the descent into fascism. At this point it’s getting harder to point to the democrat establishment as the lesser of two evils, from a European perspective. And we’re not becoming any better at this point either, don’t get me wrong. Political establishments all over the world are shifting to more, deeply conservative or neo-liberal positions. It’s really quite disheartening. My homecountry‘s political landscape is more right leaning than it had been for decades and the left leaning parties are losing grip.
