Where old people go.

Jump

  • And I, not enjoying realistic historic shooters that much, have probably never learned anything about WW2 from videogames.

    • Where old people go.

  • Honestly, for you it may seem that way. For me other things you might have very little to no knowledge about seem like basic things everyone should know. It just so happens, that I don't specifically enjoy learning about moments in time where we were particularly intent on killing each other. My interest in history tends to be at the same time larger and smaller in scale, either following specific people or society in general.

  • More like: Only Americans get taught so much about specific battles in school. Elsewhere the focus for WW2 lies more on what led to it and the like.

    Jump

  • As I am from Europe, I'm pretty sure I only know the European ones

    Edit: sorry, completely misread. Yes they are literally the same except for the name on the outside. Same battery cell made in the same factory.

  • Honestly, for the batteries, get the same capacity ones from Ikea. Significantly cheaper and the actual cell inside is identical.

    • Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

    Jump

  • The real trick is that these Falcons exceed their terminal velocity in those dives. So not just falling but falling with added power and a hell of a lot of style!

    • If linux distributions were tools.

  • The plug has a speaker inside that shouts it every time you fart

    Jump

  • You mean to say the version where the Victorinox logo is replaced with the Ubuntu one?

    Looks half way convincing but is shit in reality?

    • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?

    Jump

  • Yes, I meant generics. Spelling on phone keyboards is rather difficult when your thumbs are as wide as mine...

    • What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

    Jump

  • Maybe, or any animation really. Still live action would be the thing I would look forward to the most.

    • You can choose normal, fancy, or wildcard.

    Jump

  • Let's be real here, we usually just stick all of them in a blender and pour ourselves one glass of perfectly mixed accent juice

    • What's a sci-fi or fantasy book or series that you want to see adapted as a movie/television series?

    Jump

  • Barrayar. Giant SciFi world, tons of cool characters, politics, action, romance and intrigue. All in all it probably would make for a pretty great series.

  • I have good news and bad news, you can indeed watch Samuel Comes in a TV series, but it's utter shit. They just took the names and fucking butchered the rest. It's called "The Watch" if you really want to do this to yourself.

    Somewhat related, the hogfather and going postal adaptations are great!

    • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?

    Jump

  • That is very highly dependent on your definition of great. Compared to cheap ass shit 20 years ago, sure. But compared to quality today, no.

    • What is a product that you won’t accept a generic alternative for?

    Jump

  • Lots of them, yes. But most of them aren't designed there. And yes, I am aware that there are reputable Chinese brands, but the Chinese genetics are not those.

    • Do you interact more in Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Honestly not much. I interacted a lot more with people on squabbles before that went to shit, but now I am a bit like the friendly pink blob that gets punched back into its box and swears to never come out again...

    • what did your government do well in the near past?

    Jump

  • The 9€ and now 49€ ticket were pretty great decisions.
