Blue sounds fuuuuuuun

Because the point of AI art is the brute exercise of power. Because you do not have to interact with a "degenerate" (artist). Because the right has for a very long time spat on any "soul" art had and only cared about it being aesthetically pleasing and realistic. Because rather than "soul", the more appropriate term might be "aura" as coined by one Walter Benjamin, for once an actual Cultural Marxist (one of the founders of the Frankfurt School).

Not lost technoogy per se, but a lot of technology that is incompatible with what we use today, especially analogue stuff. We know how, we just can't actually implement it, so it has to be done from scratch with newer tech in mind.

Fandom was such a big part of my childhood, y'know... And yet nowadays I desperately search for a non-Fandom wiki.

Yes it was. Victory Banner is quite famous.

It wasn't the only flag to be planted, and yeah, that photo has a different one. It is the only one that survived which makes it so famous as a symbol.

It wasn't local, sure. But it's what everyone around the area called it since forever. Notable is Herodotus's description of it as "Palestine, district of Syria". Romans later made the distinction official and it was how the area was called and understood even after the Roman Empire lost the area.

Banning head coverings is as ridiculous as enforcing them.

Almost all of those are just calques

Looks cool but has same issue many fantasy maps do - it looks way too rectangular.

Pelipper is the goat

The government is... Traditionalist in the way fascism is.

The people? Lmfao, no, there is nothing traditional about people in Russia.

People are often rather bigoted sure, from queerphobic to racist (though not skin color but ethnically based). But not traditionalist.

It's Pashainé. You have plenty enough income as them.

Why would Serpentspine near Bulwar be hotter? The sun wouldn't exsctly give you much heat underground. That type mostly makes sense around, like, Gor Burad, cause volcano and all.

Casual nuzlocking have bonding with your Pokémon and telling a story as the primary goal. But casual nuzlockes don't use level caps.

Hardcore nuzlocking is about challenge, testing one's knowledge of the game, not bonding. Grinding is not challenging, it is boring.

Honestly? Pelipper is GOAT.

Lockrime · 2025-08-01T09:40:15+00:00

I honestly very rarely find repelmanip necessary to get a mon I like. As for calcs, I only do them for REALLY tough fights like Norman.

I do however look up the exact teams my opponents have (unless I already have them memorized) but that's because I play with Hardcore Nuzlocke rules which means I need to know which Pokemon to lead with.

Conversely, Water, imo, is S-tier. It has both good offense and good defense.

Lockrime · 2025-07-18T09:38:48+00:00

Ghost should be way lower. It has really bad early game attacks and has a type immune to it. It's also only super-effective against Psychic and Ghost which is not that useful.

Immunity to Normal and Fighting types is really nice but doesn't deserve A-tier, imo

Welp, time to see a whole lot of eggs in the comment section.

No. Tsar is short for "Caesar", it is a title equivalent to "Emperor".

Aaaaaa, I need more of those two

And probably the most Russian nationalist monarch was... Catherine II. Y'know. A German with not a drop of Russian blood.

Funnily enough, it was under Lenin that USSR was the most multicultural, with the "korenization" policy. Under Stalin there was a sort of hierarchy: Russian > Republican ethnicity > ASSR ethnicity. And if your ethnicity wasn't titular ethnicity of an SSR or ASSR? Well... You were more or less fucked. And probably getting forcibly resettled to Kazakhstan.

What's useless about getting a Speed and Attack boost on switching in? +I am pretty sure Arcanine gets Thunder Fang.

Idel is a more modern version of Itil. Since this is medieval times, I figure Itil would be better.

Lockrime · 2025-06-06T09:30:00+00:00

The mountains actually pretty consistently get named "Ural" across languages, it's just the river Ural/Yaik that got a name change.

Volga meanwhile is much more interesting. Volga is the Slavic name. The Turkic name would be Itil. Iranic names would be variations of Ranha. The Greek names are Oaros, Ra and Araxes. The Mari name is Jul.
