Slovenia - Blog Posts
People in Ljubljana, Slovenia, have filled Republic Square, which is right across the street from the parliament building (visible in the first picture), with snow mounds representing Palestinians killed by Israel, and yesterday, they started lighting candles. They noted that in order to light a candle for every Palestinian who's lost their life in Gaza in the last months, they would've needed 25 thousand (way more than they could realistically manage).

Hi! I can't believe that I finally found time to answer anon requests. I'm so sorry that I couldn't do it earlier, but I was so busy I practically didn't have any free time. But I'm happy to say that I will try to get around every request.
To answer your question, dear anon, I don't see why not! Sure, I would love to. If you still have an idea, feel free to send a request. Have a great day/night!🤗❤️

Ljubljana: the unidentified pearl of interrailing
South-west of Budapest we find the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. With train the trip between the cities take about nine hours, perfect opportunity to catch up with your sleep or a photo-session of the nature traveling through. Ljubljana is a city not very well known by the general mass making it perfect in terms of finding new, unexplored escapes. The city itself is mid-size and has around 280 000 inhabitants. It is a very unique city dotted with pleasant picturesque places where you can expect all kinds of nice little surprises. The city has two different features: on the one hand the city is full of history with old houses and various traditions. On the other hand the city has a young and modern touch which makes it very dynamic and full of life. All in all, a Ljubljana is super nice city with a great setting in which you can breathe out and explore its escapes.

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.
A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.
I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.
Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)
Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.
my mood was so weird rn because they carried eetu away and played “carpe diem”…
Bello all!
I know that many do not know what Krampus is, so I wanted to make a post on the history and significance.
The Legend of Krampus originated around the 6th or 7th century CE (501 CE - 700 CE), to the pre-Christian Alpine regions (areas we know today, as Austria, Germany, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic). The legend also spread, later on, to areas we know as Australia, Norway, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Romania.
Before Christianity spread across the region, the locals of those regions celebrated (and many still do to this day) many pagan rituals.
Krampus is the counterpart of St. Nicholas, sent to punish and scare the naughty children of the world. He is described to be half goat and half man, bearing horns and fangs, carrying a bundle of birch sticks to swat at naughty children. The name “Krampus” is derived from the Old High German word “krampen,” which means “claw.”

As Christianity gained a foothold in Europe, many pagan customs and characters, including Krampus, were absorbed into Christian traditions, as a way to convert the pagans to Christianity. By the Middle Ages (between 800 CE and 1024 CE), Krampus had found his place in the Christian winter festivities, particularly in the Alpine regions. December 5th became known as Krampusnaucht, or Krampus night, in countries like Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Slovenia. Despite efforts by the church and governments to ban or suppress Krampus celebrations, deeming too pagan or disruptive (😒), the tradition persisted, and in some regions, even thrive.
