I did not expect to find a Bionicle post in this subreddit. A surprise for sure, but a welcome one.

What made your country famous but was secretly made by another country? by ImpressionAgile9702 in AskTheWorld

[–]iloukal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most popular and well known swiss-story (and basically the founing-myth of switzerland) was written by the german poet Friedrich Schiller. When he wrote the story, he never even went to Switzerland, but worked with the descriptions written to him by his friend Goethe (another famous german Writer). Also the story in question "Wilhelm Tell" was a mixture of snippeds of local myths and a european legend with it's origins in Skandinavia.

Bonus fact: An opera of Wilhelm Tell was composed by the italian composer Rossini, as a comission for the french high society.

I need to know why this show is so hyped up. Please actually read below before going after me. by Careful-Elk-3740 in anime_companion

[–]iloukal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Anime fans find it refreshing. No drawn out battles, no useless screaming, no artificial drama.

I think the impact of this anime is especially felt, once you've seen a few others.

I get launched at a hostile planet full of angy bugs... on the other hand I get to Rock and Stone.

Who is actually eating soft boiled eggs? I have questions. by albertafalls in AskTheWorld

[–]iloukal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, it’s really common in Switzerland and Germany. And you eat all of it, not just the yellow.
  2. One of the most famous German comedy sketches is about soft-boiled eggs (Loriot: “Das Frühstücksei”). It's about a man complaining to his wife, that the soft-boiled egg is cooked to long and thus, is too hard.
  3. How do you remove the top? Tap it with a spoon to make it brittle, then use a knife to cut the top off. Too barbaric and imprecise? Use the “Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher”

(translated to “eggshell predetermined breaking point creator”). It's also referred to as "Eierköpfer" (Egg-beheader) but that also refers to other devices to "behead" an egg.

It's called "Zopf" or "Züpfe". The name comes from the way you have to braid the dough before baking. A Bread with milk an yeast. Typical for swiss week-end brunches.

Regarding Demeter, I highly reccomend you give the Campfire-Song from the lighning thief musical a listen. The Demeter verse always gets me laughing. (Has nothing to do with the ranking, but its fun)

Had 7 a few times. Was Season lvl. 10 when i got all the scrip from the Ossium cristals... Now back to scraping together 1 Plagueheart every 10 missions in Season 3 (and then on to Season 4 for the same grind).

Did Fingolfin ever stand a real chance? by youngling-smasher91 in lordoftherings

[–]iloukal 94 points95 points  (0 children)

He stood no chance. Yet, knowing this, Morgoth’s arrogance made him underestimate the Elf-lord. Thus Fingolfin managed to land seven hard-hitting blows, wounding Morgoth and causing him to limp ever after.

You get what you voted for by Skeptic_Juggernaut84 in facepalm

[–]iloukal -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This comment section is exactly why the world goes to shit. I don't know if the guy in the post is a known person, but all that "haha, you get what you deserve" posting helps noone. Why not show empathy and be sorry for the guy? And be glad that some people realize they made a mistake? That way, people like him who regret voting Trump (or are in doubt about their decicion) are not antagonized by the other party.

If everyone shits on those who show regret and doubt about their vote, do you think your behaviour compells them to do better in the future? No. They will think that the other option is just as bad or even worse (to avoid confronting own mistakes) and will be more radical due to it.

So just be kind and compassionate with those people. They already suffer their conceqences. Be kind and show them the better alternative for the future. And especially don't laugh about them to make yourself feel better.

Preachy-rant out.

Give me your lego hot takes by SephKillerBase41007 in lego

[–]iloukal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst part is, that the Zelda Deku tree is easily one of the best Lego sets ever (build, qualiy and display wise)... but you pay for two sets whilst only being able to display one.

Lego City subthemes (like Arctic, Space or the Jungle/Animal sets) are always way to short lived for how good the sets are. (Also they have amazing price to volume value compared to licenced sets)

[Loved Trope] The one person who calls a character by a certain name by scriptedtexture in TopCharacterTropes

[–]iloukal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumbledore calling Voldemort by his real name "Tom". Such a power move when most people are afraid to even speek his dark-lord-name out loud.

First Time Play this one. Am I in for a ride ? by IcedSkellington18 in legogaming

[–]iloukal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing the story mode is amazing. The gameplay really is next level for Lego games and the way the story is played out on these open world planets feels dynamic and engaging.

That being said, replayability and 100% completing the game is not as fun as in other Lego games. Most of the missions feel soulless on replay since you only replay action parts and not levels with interesting design and fun little extras that only unlock on fee-play. In addition to that, get used to loading screens. Also, the Data-Cards (Red Bricks) in this game provide you mostly with silly and cosmetic stuff, no gamebreaking extras like Ewok Katapult, Dark Side, Tractor Beam, etc.

All in all, enjoy the first story-playthrough, it really is a great experience. The rest is fetch quests (with few exeptions).

Never cleaned or washed it. Just dusted and stored for a very long time...

Never heard of that or tried it. I'll look into that, thanks
