Sometimes the small things in life make bigger changes than you would think. Yesterday's post about MSX got me thinking. GTA 3 got me hooked on drum n bass in 2001 and in a broader sense this was the moment that changed my life. I started DJing, got deeper in the DnB scene, became a musician and took an entirely different path in life. Today I still make music and also play GTA3 every couple of months. Some things just simply never change. I can say I wouldn't be who I am without GTA3. Thanks Rockstar and thanks Rob Playford!

Dauerinstallation vor einem Museum in Leipzig. Quasi Kunst.

i hate the fact, that every visit on a website nowadays requires tons of clicks and time to actually get to the information you want. no I don't want a monthly payed membership, I don't want to be on your newsletter, no I don't want to create an account. I just want to know one information and then never visit your shitty site again!

I love this bag even more now

thought the discovered blueprints get transferred like the bases at the end... I should have read about this first...

I thought we need some more photos of Egyptian bead dresses, since there are only two on the internet that keep getting reposted. I am volunteering at the museum, if anyone has further questions I can try to get more in-depth informations.

ORIGINALE IN MASSEN: FAYENCEPERLEN

Vom 4. bis ins 2. Jt. v. Chr. kannte die ägyptische Kultur über lange Zeit keine Textilfärbung. Diese wurde durch Fayence-schmuck erreicht, der aus vielen Tausenden von „originalen" Einzelperlen hergestellt wurde.

Die Farbe blau bzw. blaugrün fiel dabei mit ägyptisch positiv besetzten Begriffen wie Wachstum und Regeneration zusammen.

Die Perlenkombinationen galten als Pflanzenimitationen. Bei Körperschmuck wie Halskragen, Fußketten und Perlennetzen spielen Fayenceauffädelungen die gesamte ägyptische Kultur hindurch eine bedeutende Rolle. Wird bei Ausgrabungen in Siedlungen die Erde gesiebt, treten immer auch Tausende von Fayenceperlen im Fundgut auf. Perlen wurden hergestellt, in dem die Quarzsandmasse mit Zusätzen von Kupferoxid um Fäden herum geknetet wurde. Beim Brand entstand so auf einfache Weise der zukünftige Fadenkanal in der Perle.

MASS-PRODUCED ORIGINALS: FAIENCE BEADS

From the 4th to the 2nd millennium BC, Egyptian culture did not employ textile dyeing for a long period. Instead, color was introduced through faience jewelry crafted from thousands of "original" individual beads.

The colors blue and blue-green were associated with concepts viewed positively in Egypt, such as growth and regeneration.

Combinations of these beads were regarded as imitations of plant life. Strung faience beads played a significant role in body ornaments—such as broad collars, anklets, and bead nets—throughout Egyptian history. Whenever soil from settlement excavations is sifted, thousands of faience beads invariably appear among the finds. These beads were produced by molding a mixture of quartz sand and copper oxide around a thread; during firing, this simple process created the channel for the thread within the finished bead.

since the game got really huge over the years and it is sometimes hard to keep track of all the games mechanics and functions: I totally missed it and filled up three storage boxes until I saw this. I needed 355 hours of playing until I understood.
