@Pasty I don't think that should make people die, but then, I got myself pretty badly choking on a tomato. Like, it felt really bad and probably could hurt me if I wasn't so lucky.

@Pasty is it like something similar to what they were doing through the war to avoid the draft?

@Pasty wait. what's wrong with cinnamon?

@kai it all makes sense, all stuff is inside, there is a cab on each side, then you need some air intakes, those are actually quite modest with this machine, because the hottest bit are the resistors housed on the roof. What else is there. Mechanical part is quite similar to the contemporary swiss or similar locos. Like this one.

@kai we don't have any cab-less units, those are super-weird to me. Also the couplers, with an exception of newer EMUs with scharfenberg couplers, it's all chain and buffers. And so on.

@kai Kinda normal boring ~60's stuff. 3 kV DC, 6-axle Co'Co' arrangement, max speed of only 90 km/h because it's geared for freight...

@lain stop teasing us with your semi-western hipsta-like stuff.

@lain (I also hope that HN cried a river over the WhatsApp group messaging "vulnerability".)

@lain that's because you were drinking, lol

(it's still complicated and not worth it at all, i mean)

Oh. Bit of an irony there that the class 181 wasn't really ever seriously used for passenger service though.

Tried some Fortnite after some time and didn't score a single kill. Is this that "accessible and friendly game" they are talking about?

@Pasty ah, you're playing a video game

@Pasty what. that doesn't sound right

When I joined Mastodon, now 9 months ago, everyone:
> Amazing this place doesn't autoplay gifs

Gargamel now:
> Go and enable gif autoplay

Confused a little.

It'd be cool if Riot told me the server I'm connecting to has an expired TLS certificate and not just got stuck on the loading screen endlessly. But I'm not an expert.

@pony turns out to be more of a 🚍 time, only some 🚋 at the end of it.

Nevermind, it's a 🚊 time.

Also, please note that successful fantasy stories just mostly gave up on historic realism and went with basically modern fiction with swords (game of thrones, witcher). Which perfectly delivers a cool setting that players easily understand and don't need much of a background to enjoy.

But pony, what do YOU know about the middle-ages. That's a fair question and the answer is... not that much, really. So feel free to discard whatever I say on the topic. It's just all I hear there sounds like, wait, this is either clear bullshit or could be very well disputed by any competent historian.

Whatever.

Bored while running some import script, so I went through some stuff about that Kingdom Come game and like, yeah, it would be hardly surprising to find out that game is going to be a shit full of implied racism and sexism, made by bunch of bros with their one true idea about how the middle-ages worked. It may turn out ok, but I don't really expect it to.
