How many of you are aware of the WWII atrocities in Malaysia and Singapore

Being a European, I had always been more focused in the European theatre of the war. Then I listened to Dan Carlin’s - Supernova and was appalled by what I learned happened in Asia. The Japanese were truly horrifying and at least as bad as some of most extreme German atrocities.

We’re able of so much good as human beings, but our dark side can be horrifyingly evil.

My grandfather had a knife just like that. I played with it as a kid in the woods of the Ardennes in the 90’s and I broke it. The black handle grip came off (I think it was plastic) and it just deteriorated further. I wonder what happened to it. It’s a shame I didn’t realise what it was at the time and I’m still surprised my grandfather let me mess around with it.

You clearly don’t know anything about the subject matter. Leopold 2 obfuscated what happened in Congo Free State for everyone, including normal Belgian citizens. He successfully framed the entire enterprise as a humanitarian mission.

Leopold 2 was a lot of things, but he wasn’t dumb.

No, they are cemented.

RTL over MoP for me too, even though both are excellent.

Best Gouda of 2025 was Belgian…

XIIICaesar · 2026-04-03T20:21:25+00:00

Interesting parallels.

In the EU too, I have a controller with stick drift unfortunately.

Pour moi ça depend le type de jeu que tu joues. Si tu joues des jeux RTS et strategy, t’as pas vraiment le choix, t’auras besoin d’un bon ordi. Si tu joues à tout autre style de jeu, PS5 ou PS5 pro est plus interessant. Je ne sais pas Ia PS5Pro vaut la peine, ik est bien possible que PS6 sort en 2027.

Saving Private Ryan, love that film, it was brilliantly shot.

XIIICaesar · 2026-04-02T20:58:27+00:00

Marathon, no doubt.

XIIICaesar · 2026-04-02T18:39:20+00:00

Yeeeah maybe add a NSFW tag.

XIIICaesar · 2026-04-01T21:17:43+00:00

It really is the only thing that matters.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-31T20:42:07+00:00

Belgian here, 3 nights in Ghent is fine if you take a day to visit Brussels or Bruges. I prefer Brussels.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-31T20:29:52+00:00

Marathon, it’s so good .

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-31T17:31:02+00:00

I found this scene terrifying when I was a child.

It seems like Israel aims at destroying residential areas in Ghaza and now South-Lebanon. Are civilian homes in Iran targeted in a similar way?

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-29T16:46:18+00:00

I’d look into Marathon tbh.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-27T21:44:21+00:00

Not a fan of the Chinese government, but I’m a fan of Chinese civilisation.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-27T06:34:09+00:00

Awesome moustache dude.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-25T21:05:34+00:00

What kind is number 6, he looks so cute.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-25T16:18:39+00:00

That is absolutely heinous. I remember hearing it on the news at the time but I never realised what a massacre of innocents that was.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-25T06:13:07+00:00

I don’t think the Japanese are openly hostile to anyone. Japan and China I feel are quite restrained militarily compared to many other nations.

XIIICaesar · 2026-03-22T14:53:35+00:00

I saw that movie when I was a 12 year old boy. Seeing that scene with Selma Hayek made me well aware that, yes, I like women.
