Laten we eerlijk wezen: twee hiervan gaan sowieso in de aftellijst voor de top-100 belanden. Maar laat die nu al jaren de beste lijst zijn.

Now I'm not saying Christmas arrived early.

Extremely niche, but if you've ever played Pathfinder Kingmaker with the Varnhold's Lot expansion: for the first time I've played the entire game again (on hard mode). And now towards the very end, I have finally reached the point where the rage over the ending of that expansion is undone.

Vandaag is 't exact een jaar geleden dat 'De wereld van Clovis. De val van Rome en de geboorte van het Westen' @ertsberg.bsky.social verscheen. Sindsdien vlogen er meer dan 4000 (!) exemplaren over de toonbank.
Ik heb altijd geweten dat het goed zou doen, maar zo goed? Dat had ik niet durven hopen.

Even the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht inscription of the Persian (!) ruler Sapor I distinguishes between "Germanic and Gothic" auxiliaries of Roman Emperors he defeated. Even though the Goths spoke a Germanic language, that was never a criterion for identification (certainly not by themselves). Geography was.

Watched this last night. Unlike the spat of recent music biopics - Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocket Man, Elvis... - this is a splendid film where you don't even need to be into the music (I do like the Boss though). Jeremy Allen White is fantastic. Delivers a few gut punches of the best kind. Recommended.
