Never been into jrpgs but I wish you all a very pleasant death to america

There's some kind of psychology going in how nato media for decades was all "look how superior german tanks were" without mentioning that the nazis had to build each one by hand and they broke down constantly, while the ussr and usa were assembling tanks by the hundreds on modern factory lines.

The production numbers are insane, check these tables from Zaloga's Armored Champion:

Also I will never not find it funny how the Tiger II's glorious debut on the Eastern Front was a bunch of them getting ambushed and absolutely blown the fuck out by Soviets who only after the battle realized they weren't just Panthers. https://www.o5m6.de/redarmy/battleofogledow.php

I used to watch every WW2 documentary I could catch on TV as a kid, and I remember hearing the "Japan had to be nuked because otherwise 500 000 poor white troops would die attacking their home islands because fanatic Asians will all fight to the death rather than surrender" bit several times. I think I also vaguely remember hearing about how scary Asiatic Siberian divisions were sent into Berlin. Oh, and an informative 3D animation of how it took 4 Shermans to disable a Tiger.

nah, not even going to bother bumping up their user count, there are other ways to find music

Went to rateyourmusic to check for new releases and just noticed they locked access to the forums behind being logged in. That sucks, for a long time I used the threads that linked to an artist or album's page to find similar stuff and that's how I discovered a lot of cool things along the years. I am not going to register an account on a website that shows it will only get worse so fuck that noise.

Between every site forcing you to make accounts for even the most basic functionality, aggressively trying to get you to download their shitty mobile apps and like half the internet shitting and pissing itself if it detects that you are using a VPN, I guess capitalism will continue to strip away every bit of usability out of the internet until it remains a merely an interface for feeding your data into advertising algorithms.

coming soon to /r/landlords: As a Catholic landowner, how can I legally check that my tenants are not engaging in homosexual activities on my property?

it's not just americans, I live outside the anglosphere and I have been informed by the feline skull measurers that my bicolor cat is genetically destined to be temperamental

This absolutely has to be a bit, I refuse to believe such a caricature of a person actually exists

Gonna keep it to things not already mentioned.

Big standalone fangame/total conversion:

• Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos, built off of Gothic 2. Was my GOTY when it came out, and I consider it better than anything the actual developers released since Gothic 2. I really dig the way it expands the original game's systems, like apprenticeship. I have some complaints about it but it's nothing major, and I overall greatly enjoyed my time with it, planning a new run when the big 2.0 update drops.

Mod packs:

• Morrowind Sharp, it's like Viva New Vegas for Morrowind, I always use it as a base for my own setups, but it's great as is for new players to get a patched, QoL enhanced and face-lifted vanilla-like experience.

Individual mods:

• Global Escalation for Squad - just a huge expansion-sized load of content
• Beautiful Cities of Morrowind, for bringing the game's settlements closer to their concept art, implementing a lot of the new fan-made resources to make places more distinct and detailed while having a clear scope and keeping within vanilla-like territory
• Kenshi Kaizo, touches up and expands the existing content without bloating itself by filling the map with all sorts of new factions of varying quality and lore-adherence
• The Stardew Valley mod that adds a whole bunch of cat skins so I can have my irl cat in the game. And on the topic, SDV Expanded and Ridgeside Village when I just want more Stardew Valley stuff.

Haven't been online for ages due to a whole bunch of life stuff, how are the bears doing? If all goes well I'm slowly getting off anxiety medication this fall.

Also Op. Bagration really blew my mind away the first time I watched that documentary on it. The sheer scale of it and all the deception involved into its preparation is really amazing. I will echo the OP and ask everyone to do their patriotic duty and watch Soviet Storm, and also check out When Titans Clashed - How the Red Army Stopped Hitler by David Glantz if you are in the mood for reading more WW2 history. The book can be a lot to take in at times, but it's a solid source to dispel the mindless Asiatic red hordes bullshit surrounding the Eastern Front. I am considering giving it a reread myself as it's been a long while since I read it.
