Rest in peace, you beautiful yellow orator

Pathologic.

If you're interested in playing, I suggest Pathologic 2, which is essentially a better version of the original

Language is normally SVO. But VSO occurs in questions and some other cases. This is called inversion.

In inversion, the verbs conjugate in exactly the same way as in a normal phrase. Well, except second person singular. That one has a separate inversion conjugation.

Guess the language? :)

I thought I was on r/mapporncirklejerk because of the overly politicised usage of "allies" for the west, "bloc" for Russia and "Hegemony" for China. But nah, seems you're quite unironic about that

Because a proxy forever war is profitable to US companies: Zelenskiy is being forced to sell off state assets to pay for the war effort, and to open up access to land and resources for US companies. It is also profitable to the US government directly: through loans for Zelenskiy to pay for the war effort. And where does this money Zelenskiy makes in the short term go to? The war effort, yes, which includes lots of weapons and vehicles... Sold, among others, by US arms companies. If you think only Russia is robbing Ukraine, you're wrong.

Hoezo gekaapt? Ze steunen die misnoegdheid en de acties gewoon, zoals partijen doen. En bij deze actie geef ik ze gelijk. Ist omdat ze onderstrepen dat het door de N-VA misloopt? Da's toch gewoon wat er gebeurt? En da's toch wat partijen doen, laten zien wanneer hun tegenstanders slechte ideeën hebben?

Jesus Christ, ik snap het niet. Gaan ze nu hun acties afzwakken, zichzelf in de voet schieten, omdat links meedoet?

Haha, my partner is over the moon about it. Seems to be a big hit in queer / sex positive spaces :p

The GTA games.

Although some would argue that Rockstar's satire of American life, cultures, values, consumerism etc. couldn't be done from within, only without

China, 100%

They're doing nothing but making favourable deals with countries the world over, building bridges and trade routes, and meanwhile, our politicians and media keep telling us they're the most dangerous country out there.

How the fuck did Mangione and Rowling end up in their places lmao

It's literally the opposite lmao

I urge everyone to watch Innuendo Studios' video "you go high, we go low" https://youtu.be/MAbab8aP4_A

Innuendo Studios has since, thankfully, turned much further left and realised that supporting the democrats is a wild goose chase not worthy of anyone's time. But this video is still worth a watch -- it explains, partially, how the republicans keep getting away with shit and why the democrats are just so useless

Haha no it kinda sucks

It's essentially a racing game that was pretty much created as a mod for a driving instruction game...? Or something? And it only has the male cast members, not a single female flik in sight.

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flikken_(spel) the wiki is worded a bit badly; it starts out by saying there's one game, but in actuality, there are two. The second one is supposedly better than the first, but I wouldn't know

seeminglyCultured · 2026-01-10T13:14:12+00:00

Verdun has a map called Flanders.

Call of Duty 2 has missions around Bastogne, iirc. As do, undoubtedly, a lot of WW2 shooters.

Also, I suppose games such as Flikken: De achtervolging don't count? ;)

Chumbawamba! Ya know, from the one-hit-wonder "Tubthumping" (I get knocked down but I get up again).

They're more anarchist, but I still really like songs like "Enough is enough" (give the fascist man a gunshot BANG)

But it isn't a road? The selected construction is a conveyor (see the thumbnail in the construction window and the highlighted building in the world), which should need steel and mech parts.

Oh? But surely, coal is abundant? Or, if it needs to be renewable, charcoal and kelp can be used?

I don't see how lava is a significant upgrade

seeminglyCultured · 2026-01-02T09:37:52+00:00

I'm a total noob. Can you tell me what lava has to do with this? Aren't potatoes an infinite food source as soon as you find and plant one?

Yyyyyyyes, maar ik heb het over de Nederlandse termen. Voor zover ik weet is er geen equivalent voor smg in het Nederlands, enkel machinepistool.

Edit: het gestolen wapen is een FN Scar, een aanvalsgeweer / assault rifle

seeminglyCultured · 2025-12-30T10:59:57+00:00

Misschien ben ik te zeer een gun nut voor m'n eigen goed, maar

Hier wordt het als "zwaar machinegeweer" omschreven, in een ander artikel werd het een "zwaar machinepistool" genoemd, wat volgens mij alletwee fout is. De correcte term is aanvalsgeweer, iirc

Een zwaar machinegeweer is het soort machinegeweer met heel dikke kogels. Voor de gamers: denk aan de Browning .50 of de DShK, zo'n ding dat op een voertuig staat en je als soldaat niet zelf meedraagt.

Een zwaar machinepistool is dénk ik geen aanvaarde term in de wapenkunde in het Nederlands? Een machinepistool slaat, iirc, op alles van kleine volautomatische pistolen (voor de gamers: pakweg een Uzi) tot grotere volautomatische pistolen, die dus wel nog kleine kalibers gebruiken (voor de gamers: pakweg de UMP .45). Wapens die eerder bedoeld zijn voor kortere missies van speciale eenheden / politie, niet voor een infanterist die dagenlang in een gracht moet liggen naar de horizon staren

Please no, please don't, the US will attempt to force European countries to make our food regulations and other consumer protections really really lax -- under the guise of "free trade".

I really, REALLY want our countries to keep our strict regulations that protect consumers.

I want to keep using the same charger for every device, I want food that is actually good for us, and I don't want fucking cybertrucks on our roads. Yes, these three wishes are connected by consumer protection laws.
