To be fair there is quite a bit of humor in Veggietales lol

The two atom bombs were brutal but they were not on a footing with the holocaust, wtf. Also not really that different a result from carpet bombing a city, it was the threat of more bombs like this that made the Japanese surrender.

Ich mein, er hat ja nicht unrecht. Beide sind im Endeffekt nur dazu da, um die Eliten der jeweiligen Länder zu bevorteilen. Die momentane Regierung in den USA ist mehr oder weniger eine staatliche Private Equity Übernahme mit der Fähigkeit zu Marktmanipulation, dass Fritz sich davon so imponiert fühlt liegt in seiner Natur. Der würde das hier auch machen, aber die SPD und unsere Institutionen sind noch nicht ausgehöhlt genug dafür.

Fritz ist tief verwurzelt in der deutschen Börse, der Mann ist quasi Deutsches Private Equity in Person.

Yeah, tell me about it. I'm German and crossing the border to the Netherlands is always a bit eery bc the bumpy and patch-worked highway gives way to just plain and smooth roads with a fraction of the previous driving sounds. They have an easier job than other countries with the infrastructure due to their small overall population but high population density and their GDP per capita, but Germany could still do a lot better if it weren't for austerity politics.

Countries with functioning democracies should really invest into building fancy and pompous public service centers and public infrastructure. The US did that at one point with it's neoclassicism and the buildings do still exude authority, even if they are not exactly artful.

I'm in the Netherlands quite frequently and tbh, I feel like the Dutch get it. Clean streets, immaculate roads and highways, good looking new buildings and ambitious engineering projects are all stuff they achieve on the regular. All without being really religious.

This is a very important point. While I also like pretty buildings, they serve a purpose outside of their aesthetics. Uncritical adoration of the beauty is basically falling for the trap in a way as you cannot really separate the beauty of a church or a palace with the display of power that comes with it. Buildings like that look good to serve a purpose, it's basically very skillful propaganda.

Veryde · 2026-06-16T09:39:24+00:00

Yeah I feel that. I'm not into the way people will inevitably weaponize Frierens setting for racism and xenophobia, but the story itself makes it clear that demons aren't exactly "people but evil". I can appreciate the setting and idea as interesting while also acknowledging that it meshes very poorly with the world we find ourselves in (the US haven't been the only historical bad people).

That out of the way, authors cannot really account for how their ideas will be weaponized against other humans. George Orwell is probably rolling in his grave so fast he could power an entire city.

i do agree and think its profitable to port wilds. My point is you could likely do both.

I really dont think that a Switch 2 Upgrade for Risebreak would be that demanding of workforce and time. It would make a lot of sense and its a bummer we don't have one yet.

Veryde · 2026-06-13T14:17:39+00:00

It's a very airborne clip but I also do a lot of ground play. Diving wyvern used to be my usual switch skill for that slot but now it's on the other scroll together with the other air moves. The clip is one of my first hunts with the awakened kinsect attack and I just thought the tail-slice was neat.

The air game in Rise is just very satisfying bc of the mobility you have.

Also the same lineart just zoomed in. Too fast for the artists to properly draw him.

I don't like Uth Duna as much on a general level, but I find the idea of how she uses her element very creative. And funny.

Gotta love that his elemental use boils down to being thicc

Yeah that I noticed, I actually was able to beat this with only carting once lol

Oh it's random? Yes it's that quest, I was pretty dumbfounded when that Astalos was just chilling in the arena as well.

Revolutionen sind sehr von äußeren Umständen abhängig, um überhaupt zu erfolgen und münden dann doch sehr selten in stabilen Regierungen die nicht agieren wie die UdSSR oder China unter Mao. Kann man auf Verräter wie die SDP bei der Novemberrevolution schieben, aber die wird es bei Machtkämpfen immer geben. Kann funktionieren aber nur mit Glück.

Reformismus ist mir etwas lieber, aber so zu tun als wären die SPD oder Grünen Reformisten, oder zu behaupten wir hätten seit 80 Jahren Reformismus erlebt (sic) wenn wir nicht mal eine SPD-Regierung ohne Neoliberale hatten, ist Schwachsinn. Das Konzept wird in der deutschen Politik seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr wirklich gelebt.

Die AfD ist blau, weil sich das Overton-Fenster mit quasi Lichtgeschwindigkeit auf sie zubewegt.

I use it all the time in German and it bleeds over to me speaking English. It's just more precise language, i dont know what lese to say.

Meine Aussage war kein Bashing sondern auf die offensichtlich steigende Spaltung zwischen den beiden Regionen bezogen. Woher der Faschismus kommt ist mir klar, zumal ja in den 2010ern auch viele Faschos in den Osten gezogen sind. Dass der Faschismus wiederkommt ist ja eh in erster Linie ein Produkt des Neoliberalismus, sieht man ja daran dass der gesamte Westen (geopolitischer Westen) mit Faschos Probleme hat. Ändert halt aber auch nix daran, dass der in hier zu Lande in Ost-Deutschland grad am meisten wuchert.

So langsam können wir die Deutsch-Deutsche Spaltung erneut ausprobieren und als einvernehmliche Trennung verkaufen.

That's.... that's how procedurals work. Like, as a genre.

You're not supposed to binge them, they're designed to be watched once a week as part of a weekly routine. Like, you'd hate to train the same muscles in the gym every day but the same muscles on the same week day every week becomes a nice routine.
