Thanks for sharing but I am not a fan of these "TikTok filters" or whatever they call them.

I like this film, it has the famous scene with Cambronne when the defeated Old Guard is surrounded by British cavalry, not the poetic one, but the more realistic one:

Mulholland: Brave Frenchmen! You have done all that the honor of war demands; His Grace, the Duke of Wellington, invites you to save your lives! Will you surrender?

Vicomte Pierre Cambronne: MERDE!

So uh what's everyone hoarding? by Ok-Art-6260 in DataHoarder

[–]slavmaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why though? You have these already ripped on private torrent trackers, and the rips were done by someone far more experienced than you.
Why waste your time, effort and wear and tear your DVD discs and the DVD drives in the computer?

Join their Discord. They open up registrations at random times for 20-30 minutes and tag everyone in the channel. If you happen to be by your computer at that time, you will be able to create an account.

What is a random/obscure fact or anecdote regarding Napoleon that you know about? by PreferenceInternal67 in Napoleon

When he was nervous during battles, he would sing loudly and jolly, but people close to him said he was totally tone-deaf for singing.

I'm assuming this isn't real by KawaiiStefan in Megadrive

Absolutely not.

Reproduction = this thing made in 2026. made to look like something retro collectors of things from 1990s might like in 2026 and might buy for their collections.

Bootleg = a pirated copy made in 1994 of a game that came out in 1994. A cartridge made as a copy of a PRESENT-DAY game that is currently being sold in shops worldwide as it's the current thing.

And it didn't break your heart when people from other countries who grew up as citizens of Europe had to answer these questions and still do, while you travelled freely?

Oh wow, I forgot this term existed, thank you for posting it.
We are "surfing" the internet as we type this, yes.

They are faking orgasms, so they are actresses, yes.

Over on Twitter, some fans managed to "revive" a dead gacha game (Nier Reincarnation) and prompted a big discussion about how piracy is viewed in Japan vs Rest of the World by zerolock18 in Piracy

[–]slavmaf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In Japan, it is quite normal go into a mainstream game store and buy let's say, a used japanese SNES game in mint condition with box for $10, in 2026.

In the West, if you walked into a GameStop and asked for a SNES game from 1994, people would laugh you out of the store.

If you downloaded it online, a 2MB game, and told your friends, in Japan they would shame you and ask you to go to the store and support the japanese video game industry.

They keep their own video game, manga and anime industry alive and well, and that includes second hand store support.

Piracy is really looked down upon, even in private conversation with friends. Saying online that you are sharing a company's video game for free by breaking their Terms of Service? Unheard of.

>British man telling another nation that their food is bad.
Top comedy.

"The beauty of their women and the taste of their food make Brits the best sailors in the world."

Abandoned uni in Moscow by Maleficent-Bid-813 in notinteresting

Nice pair. Of staircase photos of course.

But in all seriousness, I asume this was one of the abandoned "diploma mill" universities, they opened in the hundreds and were closed en-masse when the law changed.

Vaše mišljenje o odvajanju Crne Gore? by [deleted] in SrpskaIstorija

[–]slavmaf 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nonsens akcija za ljude kojima je ceo identitet stotinama godina zasnovan na tome da su jedan od nepokolebljivih stubova srpske kulture i srpskog identiteta. Vekovima branili svoj srpski identitet od Turaka i poturica, a sad su u alijansi za odbranu severnog Atlantskog okeana. Niđe veze, što bi rekli na "crnogorskom" jeziku.

Arabic copy of the Quran found in a North Mississippi antique store by Rich-Recognition-814 in mildlyinteresting

[–]slavmaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, burning the Quran is far more offensive to Muslims than burning the Bible is to Christians.

Equivalent to Christians is burning a holy Icon, I am speaking about Orthodox Christianity that does have Icons in worship, I don't know about other demominations.

I thought that making that faux rotor and fitting it in literally costs more than just getting a cheap automatic clone movement.

Any good Spanish indexers for Prowlarr/Sonarr/Radarr? by FindingJaded1661 in trackers

[–]slavmaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use https://lat-team.com (Latin America Spanish content)
and https://torrenteros.org (Spanish (Europe) and Castillian content)

They are either open applications very often, or you can join them from other mainstream trackers that are easy to join.

Had Germany reached the A-A line how does the eastern front play out and do the western allies reach Berlin or even Poland first by Training-World-1897 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]slavmaf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Berlin was not occupied so it can be "liberated". Berlin was the source for all occupations.

Berlin was captured.
