Happy birthday to His Majesty and his brother

How weird, I got motivation to make something again.

"Tylko jedno w głowie mam, koksu pięć gram." (I only have one thing in my head, five grammes of cocaine.)

Anyway, while I'm at it, I'll post another song here.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on January 01, 2026, 11:42:18 AMI am listening to something apparently called the Polish cow song:

Title is "Gdzie jest biały węgorz? (Zejście)" and by Cypis. The song is essentially about drugs and depression.

Here would be the original:

Oh no! I hope everyone is okay?

Some idiots threw a firecracker at one of our windows.

We ended 2025 with a police report. Happy new year!

We should all actually speak Polish as the global lingua franca.

I personally use it.

Quote from: Mximo Malt on December 29, 2025, 02:15:11 PMThe funny thing is, I don't really know how to make a fandub, can someone give me a helping hand by DM?

You just... record the necessary lines and put them over the audio whilst having first isolated the dialogue from a video?

Ok. First, I need to find a free app to do that, do you know of one?

Your phone should have a recording app already preinstalled. Record on there and just send the files to your computer.

Quote from: Mximo Malt on December 29, 2025, 01:30:47 PMI found a script of The Princess Bride in Talossan, would anyone be interested in seeing a fandub?

Fun fact: the translator of that text is now serving a long prison sentence for sexual assault of minors.

One learns something new every day.

Estimats Zuávs da l'Altahál Rexhitál,

I hope this write reaches whoever is the current head/captain well. Recently, I've found myself unmotivated to do anything in this wonderful Kingdom. That partially stems from my actual, albeit somewhat sorry, life. I haven't been doing that well in school, I have disappointed my parents and I wasn't the nicest to many people I personally know.  As much as I want to do something for Talossa, I don't get any ideas whatsoever, even if I try really hard. So, as much as it hurts for me to say this, I would like to resign from the Zouaves. I have multiple reasons for my decisions, which are:

    1. As mentioned before, I'm completely unmotivated to do anything.
    2. Following point one, what's the point of me being in the Zouaves if I'm not doing anything?
    3. Following point two, there's nothing really happening in the Zouaves anyway (at least from my point of view) and I'm just existing.

With that, I hope that whoever is the current head/captain acknowledges my decision and acts accordingly.

Claimed a seat via the database.

Most likely my second and only time.

Quote from: xpb on December 10, 2025, 10:07:19 AMThere may be an opportunity to promote Talossa in association with the 2027 MicroCon which will be hosted by Slowjamastan in the San Diego CA area.  https://us.microcon27.com/

I wish I could attend but...

1. I would need to get a visa
2. Invasive border control
3. the US Dept of Homeland Security might require one to show at least five years of your social media history

However I could maybe attent the EU MicroCon.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 08, 2025, 05:30:17 AMTalossa will not be turning into a theocratic autocracy on my watch, don't worry.

That just so happens to remind me of Polish right-wing politicians (mainly ones from PiS), just saying.

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on December 08, 2025, 02:02:54 AMBarclamïu is from Poland, so he knows from democratic backsliding.

That and censorship. I remember that privately-owned TV stations temporarily stopped broadcasting in protest or something. There was a black screen with a message related to that.

Pardon my intrusion but I would call all this democratic backsliding if we ("we" as in the country) were to reinstate Robert I's citizenship, considering that form what I've read he's had dictatorship fantasies. My guess would be that once he regains his citizenship, should that happen at all, he would want to return to power. Correct me if I'm wrong I guess.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on December 02, 2025, 09:10:03 PMFor the first time in years I fixed a favorite Eastern European winter soup called borscht. It has beef, beets, cabbage, potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, and celery. And I like to top it with sour cream and dill and have a side of rye bread. It is a soup that takes a few hours to complete and while it is worth it I now know why I only make this occasionally. Recipe was from The Joy of Cooking.

Our barszcz doesn't have any beef, cabbage and rutabagas, just beets, celery and parsley (also the roots of said celery and parsley). Potatoes are also commonly ate with it.
