  1. Ten to twenty HDD of them, downloaded by occasion, but most of them probably never having chance to be watched.
  2. We were making similar out of a wooden plank, a rubber thread, a clothespin, and a piece of aluminium wire. Nice to see the old traditions being continiued.
  3. I would doubt that this kind of protectors is typical for the setting, and at the same time they look very similar to some other figures from another camp. Actually, I believe that the "Gothic architecture" was derived from this kind of architecture. Just on growing in size, it was ancesting the idea of both lateral support and the gargoyle-like figures, which were, for mysterious reasons, considered significant, as from the figured log tips they evolved into the separately made figures. , and thus the gargoyles look like something very... from pagan times not from the mom's pagans, but from the unpleasant real ones, something agressively barbaric, rather than protective. Also notice the difference between the rude and thus probably old gargoyles above and the fan-service toy gargoyles from XIX century and later, added to match Victor Hugo's descriptions. The latter ones are just ugly-looking garden dwarves, while the former are functional, or at least simulating the functionality of a rain gutter. Also, they look similar to the sheela na gig, and are looking like both are to pour some liquid onto the humans below. Basically rain, but if have a cistern on top, then any mysterious goo. Just some of them are functional, while others are decorative (or ceremonial). In any case, they look like something from dark fantasy, ancested from pagan reasons and ideas, and for unclear reason not destroyed through the whole epoch of inquisition, crusades, knight orders, and so on. Both don't look like a strange local tradition, but are unified across the Europe (and the sheelas look quite thematically for some Indian temples). The real medieval was much more grimdark noir time and place, much closer to Disciples rather than to Heroes of Might and Magic or Age of Empires. *** P.S. Had read a couple of short stories by Giordano Bruno. A very specific way of thinking...
  4. Banned because I live in a relatively radioactive place, so the Nuka Cola is just flowing from the tap.
  5. Banned because how could I recognize the speech, when it wasn't quoted in Fallout games.
  6. Being Gnaevs Pompeivs Magnvs and using v instead of u is cheating.
  7. Wiki describes, but unlikely to post the images. Definitely not a kind of official Christian discourse. In the kinda totally Christian medieval Europe. I could understand the story that gargoyles are kinda visualisation of wordly demons sitting outside of the church. But this doesn't look like.
  8. Floor 4940: 5x5 Kerbals, self-counting along and across.
  9. Calling 911 by phone when you belong to Psi-Corp.
  10. No Cold, our personnel carries Schmidt-Wessen. Bartender! Is this place Zocalo?
  11. Banned for considering the banning hard.
  12. Maybe ban, but still not AlamogordoVampire.
  13. Engines, too. Also, the rocket pods look having solid texture, without 3d holes.
  14. They failed being hired by the actual Las Vegas casinos, and made their own Las Vegas, with blackjack caravan and... robots. That's how the Fallout: New Vegas began.
  15. Failed due to the sick implementation of buoyancy in KSP.
  16. Banned for not being AlamogordoVampire.
  17. Caravan in Fallout is a queen of the meta-gaming. In the game you collect cards to play the in-game game.
  18. There are numerous Sheela na gig statues across the Europe, from Ireland to Czechia, made in "High Middle Ages", and all explanations are equally stupid.
  19. A natural consequence of the modern HR nonsense like awaiting from everyone "leadership skills" (mindless narcissism), "soft skills" (reckless verbiage), "team qualities" (shifting of responsibility and whistleblowing).
  20. Banned for still believing that the Spartan soup was bad, rather than the Spartans were bad cooks.
  21. Accusing Vessi in every Pompi's trouble is cheating.
