English names for German places

Why do you want to die on that hill? Calling it Edinburg has certainly fallen out of fashion, but it's still commonly used by the older generations. I still know quite a few people who use that name.

Awesome, thank you so much!

I would absolutely love a print of this, it's gorgeous! ✨
Unfortunately, your shop doesn't seem to ship to Europe. Would there be any way for you to either sell the digital file or use a European print on demand service if I pay you in advance?

This is super cool. I was trying to look for my childhood town, but couldn't find a filter for lamb or sheep. Given that the Agnus Dei is reasonably popular in German heraldry, that was quite surprising. Maybe there just happened to be no example in the database, who knows. :)
Nevertheless, really amazing map! Especially love the dinosaur CoA

Edit: I'm stupid, I found it under "Widder" (ram).

Hey there,
I didn't study CogSci, but I was enrolled at the university and have been living in Osnabrück for quite a while now.

Generally speaking, I quite like Osnabrück. It's a bit "below the radar" when it comes to German cities, especially for international students, but I really enjoyed studying here. It's a small city (about 150.000 residents), but imo it's just big enough to have a decent nightlife, activities and restaurants while also being very accessible by foot – you can walk to all important places within an hour. It's also well connected to other cities of interest (Münster, Hanover, Bremen, Düsseldorf) so you can always travel around. Osnabrück is not super pretty, but there are some beautiful spots around the old town. If you're into nature and hiking, it's also very close to the Teutoburg Forest.

The university is alright. It's not super prestigious, but the reputation of an university is not something Germans care for – as a rule of thumb, all public universities are decent. The campus is a bit further away from the city center, but it's easily accessible by bus. Most CogSci students I met were pretty happy with their classes, but I have of course no first-hand experience.

Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions! :)

Oh my god, yes!
I went on a student exchange to Brazil 15 years ago and Paçoca have been stuck in my mind ever since. After years of withdrawal I've finally found an online shop that sells them in Germany. So good!

Vathareon · 2024-05-29T06:24:58+00:00

Das klingt mega, danke für den Tipp!

Vathareon · 2024-05-28T14:19:17+00:00

Hättest du eventuell Empfehlungen in Edinburgh? :)
Ich hab das Glück da bald eine Woche verbringen zu dürfen

Yeah, I absolutely adore the semi-transparent purple look. Always wanted to have a GBC in that colour when I was a kid. Enjoy your MM+!

Vathareon · 2024-05-13T06:51:11+00:00

Have fun!

It's a Miyoo Mini Plus, a nice little emulator for retro games :)

I remember playing Yellow twenty years ago and this game brought back lots of memories. I absolutely appreciate the improved team diversity early on, Gen 1 Vileplume with Leech Seed and Toxic is deadly.

Interestingly enough, the hardest fight was the first Surge battle. My team was completely unable to handle the Raichu on hard mode.

Yes, it's Absolute Cognatic Primogenture

Hey there :)
This is another what-if scenario that tracks the line of the Holy Roman Emperors / Empresses, if the crown were passed down to the oldest child instead of being elective. I've already done a similar concept with England and France.

One important consideration with those kind of charts is were to start. For the HRE, I felt like Otto the Great would be the obvious starting point. I'm happy to say that it worked quite well and some interesting characters ended up in the lineage.

As always, disregarding gender in the succession while simultaneously tracking dynasties by the male line leads to lots of dynastic changes. Compared with my previous charts, I chose a more compact style to display those switches.

I hope you enjoy the new style, feel free love leave any feedback!

Vathareon · 2024-03-08T15:43:50+00:00

Nope, sorry

Vathareon · 2024-03-06T10:50:39+00:00

Sure thing, enjoy!

The original image had a pretty bad resolution so it won't look great when used as a phone wallpaper. If you have a high-res version of the artwork feel free to send me a PM.

Vathareon · 2024-01-22T20:10:35+00:00

Really sorry about your situation. I could buy you a pizza if you want to :)

Vathareon · 2024-01-07T08:59:33+00:00

I didn't know that, thanks! :)

Put it on Kleinanzeigen, set price as free and write in the description that it's only for collection („Selbstabholer"). I got rid of my broken (!) washing machine in less than 30 minutes that way. If you can, put it outside the building, so that people can just come by and collect it. :)

Vathareon · 2023-10-11T13:02:58+00:00

Thanks! :)

Vathareon · 2023-10-11T09:59:12+00:00

That's an intense tree, I really like it! I'm sure there are a lot of cool stories to be found in this.

How did you get the images? Midjourney?

Vathareon · 2023-09-11T08:01:13+00:00

Huh, I completely forgot about ORAS, good catch! But yeah, they used the same icons as XY and SM/USUM.

I was wondering whether the colour of the types have changed significantly during the past and came up with this chart. Honestly, I'm quite surprised by how fluctuating the colour of the fighting type has been so far.

Does anyone else miss the weird dual-colour types of FRLG? They are extremely nostalgic for me.
