Levels of shading I currently can only dream of achieving

Care to hand down one? I only have free domains, like stuff that ends with cr.hf or whatever

Mas hoje em dia não é que nem no início dos anos 2000, ter que ficar acordado 2, 3 da madrugada, na expectativa q passasse emanuelle e não uma merda de culto da fé 😆🤣

The Blue Lagoon

Shit, that was a Brazilian afternoon staple for the whole 90s. No idea how much the tv channel censored/cut for the afternoon, but considering we had “banheira do gugu” during sunday afternoons… (if you don’t wanna look for it on youtube, it was a piece where 2 celebrities, a man and a woman, would get in a bathtub and try to get as many soaps out. One of them would be tasked with getting the soap, the other was tasked with not letting the other do so. All of that live for the whole country, of course)

If you want to watch an Irish dude play and talk about a variety of obscure PS1 games, everyone should definitely check out Sean Seanson (currently at 44k subs). He has 2 ongoing series where a game is picked at random and he checks it out, one for western releases and another for japan exclusive PS1 games.

Majuular (166k subs) also does videos on mostly obscure or forgotten games. I really enjoyed watching his “I played every RPG on the <console>” videos, the one for the Saturn showed up some real gems.

Moon Channel (182k subs) is one of the “slow content creators”, which makes nearly every video he posts a great watch. He has great stuff like “Why do Japanese games love Brazil?” and “Gacha Games and the Korean Gender Wars” - the latter an incredible look into how and why Korean culture is the way it is today.

NeverKnowsBest (329k subs) is yet another gaming channel, focusing on very long videos. One that I do recommend to any Bethesda fan is “Lies, Hate and the story of Emil Pagliarulo” (it’s an eye opener and I am guilty of having joined the “it’s all Emil’s fault” bandwagon due in no small part to the videos he references). If you want to keep it to genres, his 2 most recent videos are “The Entire History of Japanese RPGs” and “An in-depth look at Romance in video games” - the latter shows up a number of famous dating sim games.

Basement Brothers (33k subs) is a channel devoted almost entirely to 80s and 90s Japanese computer games. So, if you were ever curious about PC-88 and PC-98 games, or the origins of franchises like Ys or Legend of Heroes, this is the place to find that.

As a bonus, SAMA Study of Antiquity and Middle Ages for history stuff. It’s very well researched stuff, often citing studies that follow DNA heritage among human groups to get an idea of when they migrated from one place to another.

Beating an orc captain that’s immune to stealth, moves fast and fears you is one of the biggest challenges of the game

The only downside is that they managed to patent the nemesis system. Other games could make good use of it

nostr is yet another twitter, but for “anti censorship” folk, such as cryptobros and “freeze peach absolutists”. Also has some crypto integration that lets it have shops and even a tiktok video thingy.

Could be that specific roll is just low quality, or the brand is kinda low quality

As for a reason to “suddenly” go bad, maybe it’s due to the winter and some of the layers were too thinly melted together?

How would explain what this is for to someone who doesn’t know what this works as an alternative to?

Guess they couldn’t find a proper fairy tale to put that scene on, so they had to go with a “documentary”

Half of everything my mom ever told/did for whatever ailment I had.

Also that it was easy to get a job in Brazilian IT in the early 2010s. Out of some 40 companies I’ve sent my resume to, zero called me for an interview.

Luckily, as I work for the local govt, I can talk all the shit I want about the tech sector and technologies as a whole. My colleagues obviously don’t agree with every opinion I share (some 3 even think Amazon is “actually good” and one networking guy is a cryptobro), but none of us are at any risk from talking shit about companies and their leaders, or tech shenanigans in general. Now, talking about our higher ups is trouble.

A channel that is all about how to fuck big corpos. Private healthcare? 6 easy steps to pay 1 dollar a month and never be denied anything! Banks? How to get a credit card with NEGATIVE INTEREST they can’t cancel!

Peregrin Tûk. I’m an idiot that does stupid shit that accidentally fucks shit up and only ever manage to go forward in anything thanks to people that know what they’re doing and have to carry me.

Did you kill your dad yet?

If you really want the sale to not happen, put any brazilian funk on max volume. “Proibidão” for the worst of the worst

There’s a park in Brasilia that has a “little rocket”. I refused to enter it when I was something like 4yo, because “What if it launches while I’m inside?”

Remind me to start writing a diary in clay tablets, I’m gonna own the rest of graveyard and future archaeologists!

Ugh, I had written a lengthy post and lost it. I haven’t played Widelands itself much, but I have played Settlers 2 a lot. If anything I explain below is different in Widelands, please correct me ;)

Anyway, a TLDR for those that have no idea of what to expect: The Settlers 2 is a lot more about logistics and planning use of space than anything else. It needs very little input most of the time, it’s a very slow paced game.

The main things to keep in mind is available space, roads and resources. The game is separated in hex-ish tiles. Depending on how much free space there is, you can build a basic, medium or large building. As a rule of thumb, basic buildings require no resources to function (one exception being mines, which need food); medium buildings receive either 1 or 2 resources and deliver the worked result; large buildings are usually farms or a fortress.

So, imagine Age of Empires 1, but if you had to connect every building with a road network, with every worker and every resource traveling through it, one at a time. Once you set up something to be built, you’ll see a worker walking his way there, as well as resources being carried towards it. The busiest roads can receive a donkey that will also haul resources between the connected flags - you cannot manually upgrade roads, even if you have a surplus of donkeys.

Unlike AoE or pretty much every RTS, you don’t train units at all. You need a minimal military to garrison military buildings, which will increase your borders. Once any of these is fully built, a number of soldiers will come out of HQ and move to occupy it. HOWEVER, if you are attacked, only the soldiers within that building will protect it. You don’t participate in combat at all. The soldiers just line up and fight. When a military building is occupied by the enemy, it and everything that was within the lost border is destroyed.
