The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

I have started playing Slay the Princess, a indie horror visual novel with hand drawn art. Its fully voice acted and has weird time stuff. Its a good game, its even on gog, if you like that kind of thing. Some spoilers ahead, although I haven't finished the game yet. Oh and a CW/spoiler for the game:

spoilerIn one of the endings you commit suicide in a very violent way. Its obvious its coming, I'm not sure if its avoidable or if sensitive players should just cut that story loop short. I don't remember if there's any gore in that particular ending, but there is gore in other endings.
spoilerThe game immediately feels eerie. The atmosphere is full of dread. You can try to turn around, but are unable to actually do so. If you test the barriers of the game, you are pushed to the cabin. The cabin starts bare, with only a knife on a table. You grab it, or don't, and enter the basement. The narrator reminds you repeatedly through this whole process how dangerous the princess is and how important slaying her is, and how it must be done immediately.

There's a lot of dialog options in the basement. None of them work out for you, the player. She is a demon. A trickster, who can't be believed. Once in the basement, unless you stick exactly to the script you die. Sometimes you can kill her first. If you try to leave the basement, another (unknown) character locks you inside. Its too late to be saved at this point.

Assuming you don't get the "good" ending, after you (and possibly her) die you get brought to the beginning. Things change, depending on how you died and what dialog options you chose previously. The cabin changes, the state you find her in is different, you get different dialog. You start to splinter, there are more voices in your head. The voice of the broken, of cold. Your internal monologue becomes chaotic. But in a way, nothing changes. You are still supposed to kill the princess, and it becomes much harder. I'm not sure if there are any "good" endings past day one. If you don't defeat her perfectly and live in the void the narrator gives you, you become trapped in a cycle of violence. You die more, you get more voices, she becomes more powerful. It feels completely hopeless.

One of the endings (I don't completely remember how to get back here but I believe you have to kill her enough times?) she, this creature, possesses you. You hear her voice within your own head. Telling you to bring her to the rest of the world. That can't happen. She has proven herself to kill you if given any opportunity. You can't befriend her. I threw myself into a void, killing both of us. She is twisted and sick. Vengeful. She needs you to let her out. Once you start engaging with her, you are already doomed. She can't be entertained at all. If you do kill her at the very beginning and live, your life is empty. Floating in a void, told you are happy.

Maybe I'm projection a bit, but this is the most hopeless a game has made me feel. This game reminds me a lot of depression.

I haven't finished the game yet, there are more paths I need to explore. There's an overarching plot line I haven't seen through yet. And I'm hoping to watch a video essay or two about the game, just to make sure I haven't missed anything and to hear other's thoughts on the experience. Anyway, that's my thoughts on the game at this point, its quite the experience for me.

Been thinking about Ciaphas Cain a lot recently thinking-about-it Mostly it's that one scene in one of the books where they're fighting against Slaneeshi cultists and they enter into a cultist den with all kinds of varied sexual acts displayed on the walls. One of the guardsmen with him asks if some of those are even possible, and he answers 'No and that if they are they are most certainly heretical'. And that got me thinking of how incredibly repressed the 40k empire civilians must be. It was probably depicting doggystyle with a collar and a chain or some other incredibly vanilla thing with a twist smdh

~it~ ~is~ ~Slaneesh~ ~so~ ~it~ ~could~ ~also~ ~be~ ~like~ ~ear~ ~canals~ ~or~ ~something~ ~worse~ all I'm saying that we could definitely create a chaos god if we spread far and wide enough lea-finger-guns

edit. fucking hell they are still being written Anna's Archive dont fail me now inshallah

I found this really Interesting FE romhack. Seems really unique and intuitive, I'll report back when I've played more of the game.

Also it's totally pronoun emblem :waow-based:

Dysphoria, transphobia/exploitationTried looking up "transfemme fashion" on pinterest to get some outfit ideas, and while there were some things that were nice/fine, there was a ton of tr**/d***girl/femboy shit in that fucking feed from out of nowhere.

I don't like Pinterest that much, but I do find it useful for aggregation and was hoping to use it to collect some ideas. Now I know that actually trying to see what outfits work for other trans women on that platform is going to be minefield at best.

I'm hiking, which is nice, but my asthma is kindly reminding me of what happened yesterday. The Earth, kindly enough, is answering my prayers for air and sending giant gusts of wind in my direction. I've rolled my ankle multiple times, but it's really nice out so it's still a good time 😊

truly aren't we all working on disco elysium successor projects?

Movie night plans failed, since I didn’t plan as far ahead as I should have, but it’s better to postpone anyways.

Instead, I’m gonna start on a new mecha misume model kit (this one is Nuke Matrix brand) and listen to the audiobook of Manhunt.

Good Morning Chat! Question for you all:

Dark Chocolate, or Milk Chocolate? Plant milk chocolate counts! I still like Dark Chocolate better though.

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

Just a random thought, but bards in D&D should have the ability to use both their action and bonus action to grant another character a 2nd turn, like they can in FE. This would be balanced because bards are ass, sorry bard fans it's just facts.

Anyone have clothing brand recxomendations that aren't BDS?

[–] Luna@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)
