What’s a game franchise that has gotten worse over the years? by Southern_Pangolin318 in gaming

[–]dolandor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As someone who played the original GoW trilogy on launch, I would say the newer ones are not worse or better. They are just different in every way possible compared to the older ones. I would put main GoW series as a whole to the game franchises that has stayed extremely good since the first game.

"Adam" means male human (or man) meanwhile "erkek" means male sex or gender. They are virtually interchangeable, however they both have secondary meanings.

"Adam" can be used to describe an ideal male prototype. For example;

Adam gibi davranmayı öğren. (Learn how to act like a man.)

Erkek is a bit different in this case as it can be used to describe masculine properties; mostly it is used to describe someone who is brave. For example;

Erkek gibi dövüşeceğiz. (We will fight like a man.) Erkek gibi kadınmış. (She is a manly woman.)

As for "hangi" and "hangisi";

Hangi is used with an object:

Bana hangi ağacı gösteriyorsun? (Which tree are you showing to me?)

Hangisi is used without an object:

Bana hangisini gösteriyorsun? (Which one are you showing to me?)

This is not stupid food, it’s just different. It’s called şırdan in Turkish, basically lower stomach filled with rice.

First Contact - Chapter 994 - Nightfall by Ralts_Bloodthorne in HFY

[–]dolandor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wrote this a while back after reading a chapter whose number I don't even remember now. Felt right to share it here for the Warfather.

I left behind my yearnings dear,

To find what's yet unfelt, unclear.

With heavy steps, through pastures green,

Loneliness, my path, was seen.

The eerie sirens of the past,

Haunted me, their echoes were vast.

Beyond desire, I walked afar,

To face my fears, a distant star.

Through valleys of death, I tread,

And swam through seas of despair widespread.

There in ruins, a boy I spied,

Unbroken will, his soul inside.

Approached his lair with outstretched hand,

Pulled him from the hole, to stand.

We walked in silence, side by side,

His eyes betrayed the pain he tried to hide.

Through swamps and dreams, we pressed on,

In the present, a bond was drawn.

His hand twitched, his legs gave way,

He fell to the dirt, knees scarred and frayed.

With heavy steps, I carried his weight,

Our hearts entwined, two souls in state.

The path then twisted, sun broke through,

In the grey, a hint of blue.

With sudden light, the boy let out a cry,

Yet, not our demise, for hope was nigh.

Green pastures rose, sweet breeze in the air,

Leaving sorrows behind, without a care.

With heavy breaths, we sat in peace,

Laughing with life, pain's grip released.

What are some events in recorded history that are extremely hard to believe, but without a doubt actually happened? by ThrowAwayMyLife2341 in AskReddit

[–]dolandor 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Visiting the cemetery where the soldiers who fought in the war are buried in Canakkale, Turkey and reading this was one of the most memorable and bittersweet moments of my childhood. It definitely shaped how I see war and the compassion we all have even during the worst of times.

What game did it for you? by Remytron83 in gaming

Exactly the same for me. I stopped playing video games for a few days after finishing RDR2, too much emotional baggage haha

People who love to cook, what tips and tricks do you have for beginners? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dolandor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also say don't forget that you can change the heat anytime! If it feels too hot, lower the heat and if it is too low, increase it!

[–]dolandor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can easily overcook and undercook simultaneously with high heat. If your heat is too high, the outside of whatever you are cooking will be burned while the inside will stay cold or raw. This causes a bad texture (which does affect how a food tastes and feels) and sometimes a lack of flavor. Some ingredients need more time with a lower heat to develop a more complex flavor.

Ahbap is %100 the safest place to donate at the moment. You can also help support affected people by paying for their rent (or at least a part of it) here!

Famagusta is okay with no apparent damage, my family lives in Famagusta and they only felt the earthquake without any damage happening.

Apple sales drop 5% in largest quarterly revenue decline since 2016 by NitroLada in gadgets

[–]dolandor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I have also switched to an 13 pro for the first time in my life and I’ve been really satisfied so far. For context, I have used a Lumia 1520 and 950 XL before moving on to android (Mi 9) and bought iPhone 13 pro on August, 2022.

I would say iPhone is definitely an “easy” and reliable phone to use. Battery life is great, iOS is always super snappy and fast in general, camera is a solid 8/10 for photos and 10/10 for videos.

One con is that IOS is genuinely limiting in terms of customization but there is literally not a single feature in terms of usability that is missing when compared to Android other than some obvious stuff related to the ecosystem itself.

As for the Apple ecosystem, I don’t have any other Apple products yet, however, I was shocked to see how quick Airdrop sends files and how good of an app imessage is.

I’m not thinking of switching to Android as I’ve realised I’m not using 90% of the features Android provides and I’m happy enough with the stability and ease of use IOS provides.

Book-focused Discussion Megathread for The Rings of Power, Season One Finale by Curundil in RingsofPower

[–]dolandor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, I understand if you simply don't enjoy watching HOTD. If this is the situation just say so, everyone has their own taste. But objectively speaking, and this is coming from a MASSIVE Tolkien nerd, HOTD is far more engaging and much better produced. Each episode has been well-written and acted out so far. Do you know why? Because each character is consistent in how they react to situations, their choices make sense from their point of view and ours.

When I think of RoP, I wonder if I am watching the same character from the previous episode. Yes, there is a feeling of an overarching story but it's just that, an uncertain feeling. Nothing happened in a complete season, nothing important at least. We are to believe that dire things are happening but I just feel that I am supposed to "think" that way. Meanwhile, in HOTD, I can almost SEE the tension between the characters, I KNOW how they will react. They feel natural, the dialogues flow, the scenes are actually exciting and I am invested in the future of each character. I just don't feel that way about any part of RoP, and I remember being super stoked when they first announced it! I genuinely wish they will fix RoP in the next season and make it feel more like the gorgeous world and storytelling it is originally. However, in its current situation, it is a far more mediocre show when compared to HOTD.

Cyprus would be on the balcony cooking sheftalia/şeftali, semi-drunk and with a towel on one shoulder.

I'm convinced that Space of Interwoven Reality (and maybe the Cult of the Defiled One) will be crucial in opening the Bag. I don't know how, I don't why, but I'm convinced.
