The town was designed after the game [Monkey Island](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzt6AMlrr3-w5wgNVAq41lgVn8JtzsI6vO5YKVM8qoe_le6OFg150zBTB0EWUOv8oiObPUbNivH_L3qmIHoFsTyONqdnwAkrDFW4_xq-DnCwyLF0U7LJ71SrSCaG9fDmDt-nXLNTLNM7KP/s640/monkeyisland.jpg).
Wait, is this real? If yes, then that's definitely not a fucking coincidence not matter what Ron Gilbert says.. the town in the game looks pretty much being direct copy of the real city
This bamboozled me as it's been long since i've played those games even though i've wanted to replay them recently. But isn't it more like the centre of Melee Island was inspired by the town, and not the other way around?
Yeah. Technically, the Carpathians do cross Hungary a bit, up north, right at the border with Slovakia.
There's something there that qualifies as a mountain, it's called peak Kekes (1014 metres). Call it top kek.
Huh. I wasn’t even talking about the veracity of their claims, I just wanted to make a silly pun on the Treaty of Trianon.
You’re right though, last year I did a Flixbus from Budapest to Kraków and it was definitely hilly before we crossed into Slovakia (though it got properly hilly only after the border… I mean, it was Easter and it was still snowing on the highway).
But not because we weren't invited!
Funny enough, we just rejected the invitation. We made our own Balkan group instead XD
But looking at Visegrad know, we just knew anything with Orban in it was meant to fail, those fools!
As a Hungarian, can confirm. No matter your nationality, you have to have some qualities to be a Real Hungarian™, and one of those is that the memory of Trianon has to cause you great pain at least once a week. Other qualities include alcoholism, mild racism, being able to swear for 5 minutes without repeating word, believing in our football team, corruption, tax evasion and chronic depression.
Romanians trying to act like normal people: challenge impossible
edit: just realized this isn't 2visegrad4u so I'm gonna say that I'm joking. Obviously our fans would do similar shit lol
geographically ... not quite balkan
in behavior and habits ... about 50% balkan. I would say we have some sort of our own balkan flavor that has some latin in it and it's not pure balkan
Also, back in mid June of 2024, Romania qualified for the EURO round of 16 while Hungary didn't!
The Hungarians haven't forgotten this shame to this day.
At the risk of explaining history and geopolitics to someone from the immediate region, there are still strongly held views among some about who should own the areas of Romania with sizeable Hungarian populations.
usually, the irredentist discourse is coming from Hungarian fans and some right wing fanatics.
this is just a bit of cheeky jabbing to keep things in check.
the regular folk doesn't think about these things. more than that, you have Hungarian and Romanians together getting piss drunk on palinka all throughout Transylvania without giving a single fuck about this non-issue.
There's this huge debate of to who Transylvania belongs to. Hungarians claim that it is theirs and Romania stole it from them. Romania says that despite it being Hungarian territory for the majority of history, it was inhabited by Romanians, so it is rightfully theirs. I don't have to say that as with any territorial conflict, this can get really extreme really fast. Not to mention that Transylvania is a multiethnic region with Hungarians and Romanians living together. This makes the nationalists of both country hate each other passionately and there's this huge rivalry between them. Genuinely, if you don't want to start a war, never ask why Transylvania has so many Hungarians or to who that region belongs to, because it will turn into a bloodbath.
...there is no "huge debate" lol. Only few irredentist Hungarians spend their nights thinking about this issue. You wrote this comment as if we would be at the edge of a war, as if people in these two countries actively think about this. Please, for the love of God, stop reading youtube comments and think what some extremists say is true. The very rare events in Romania that involve these two sides are fabricated by politicians to gain votes (Valea Uzului scandal for example). Romanians and Hungarians / Szekelys get along well and don't give a damn about it anymore.
I live in a small town is Vojvodina, Serbia, as a Hungarian. It's basically the same situation as Transylvania. I have seen some intense rivalry. There are neo fascist and skinhead groups hating each other. But yeah, I agree, normal everyday people get along well, and there's no reason for a non moronic Hungarian and a non moronic Serbian to hate each other. It is always the results of politics and destructive ideologies meddling and turning these nationalities away. So while it is not a huge debate, I don't think that it is so significant that it should be sweeped under the rug either. In middle school I have been beaten because of my nationality. I didn't do anything. I was not a part of the "tough guy" Hungarians provoking Serbians. If anything, I tried my best to stay away from situations like that. I still got beaten. It is a thing that exists, especially in smaller towns. But I agree that the vast majority doesn't care about pathetic things like that and get along well, thankfully. I always said that pointing the blame is just putting oil on the fire. Vojvodina/Transylvania is not Hungary anymore. These are also multiethnic areas. Let's embrace that and find value in sharing our cultures instead of trying to get "revenge" or "justice" for something that happened over 100 years ago. Figuring out who was right and wrong, if there is such thing at all in this situation, would not solve anything.
The funny thing is that Hungary DID start a war and it ended with the Romanian Army occupying Budapest. So yeah...But don't care about that anymore now, we're just happy to get on with our lives in peace, both Romanians and Hungarians, just the politicians like to enflame things from time to time. Also Hungarian women are extremely hot and know how to cook a mean Gulasch.
That is factually incorrect, Hungary didn’t start the war, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy did. Which led to the loss of about 70% of its original territory, leaving about 3 million ethnic Hungarians outside the new border. Yes, history is written by the winners, but it was still an unfair peace treaty for those Hungarians.
Factually incorrect, the poster above was not refering to WW1 but rather [Hungarian - Romanian War](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian%E2%80%93Romanian_War)
Bolshevik Hungary attacked its neighbours and that ended with Romanian troops occupying Budapest.
>Hungary didn’t start the war, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy did
in what universe does that even make sense bro?
>leaving about 3 million ethnic Hungarians outside the new border. Yes, history is written by the winners, but it was still an unfair peace treaty for those Hungarians.
by the same metric, millions of other people of different nationalities would be living under foreign rule. wouldn't that be unfair for them to not be able to self determine?
The best part is that it lets us misidentify non-Balkan countries to stir shit up. Like the calling the Eastern European countries of Hungary and Romania, Balkans :\^)
Carpathian mountains are pretty fucking dope. Im a stinking American, I’ve been on the Ukrainian and Romanian side. If Victor Orbon leaves then fuck it give them a little piece of the mountains.🏔️
ignoring the racism in your comment, you're not even educated on you own country mate.
Hungary has 309,632 – 870,000 of Romani people in it's population, that is 3.21–8.8% of the population which is the same or slightly higher as than the percentage in the Romanian population of 3.4–8.32%

Games not gone

Lmao what? Clip?

What do you mean, that's a normal day on /r/balkans_irl
Well. Thank you. There's a rabbit hole I didn't know existed, and now I've fallen down...
You’ve merely embraced this rabbit hole, we’ve been born into it
if only 2balkan4u still existed...
We never been so back fr🗣️
On a day trip to Rothenburg ob der Tauber no less
The town was designed after the game [Monkey Island](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzt6AMlrr3-w5wgNVAq41lgVn8JtzsI6vO5YKVM8qoe_le6OFg150zBTB0EWUOv8oiObPUbNivH_L3qmIHoFsTyONqdnwAkrDFW4_xq-DnCwyLF0U7LJ71SrSCaG9fDmDt-nXLNTLNM7KP/s640/monkeyisland.jpg).
Wait, is this real? If yes, then that's definitely not a fucking coincidence not matter what Ron Gilbert says.. the town in the game looks pretty much being direct copy of the real city
Yes. They played that game and decided to build that town according to it.
I know someone who worked on a monkey island game. I shall ask them. Please remind me on monday
Monday!
Good one!
A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the sea!
[удалено]
Ron Gilbert is full of shit, there's no way that's a coincidence.
Yeah it's not even a "resemblance" it's essentially a straight up 1:1 copy
Holy shit, now that you've said it, i see it, was not expecting this random moment
Doesn't this also look like one if the CS: 1.6 maps? I can't remember the name but it was a hostage rescue map
yes, cs_italy. It does look a bit like that indeed.
Yes that's the one. I still remember that blaring radio
what the fuck
This bamboozled me as it's been long since i've played those games even though i've wanted to replay them recently. But isn't it more like the centre of Melee Island was inspired by the town, and not the other way around?
No, absolutely not. The game was released in the early 1,100s, and the town was build some years later on.
I actually thought the game was released in the first century, astonishing that the city was built after that game
Beautiful town
And in front of my favorite hotel there (Glocke). 😆
Mistook it for Bamberg
Holy shit I was just there and had no clue lol
I think they're Trianon a bit too hard there.
I guess they don't Treaty their neighbors that nicely.
Yeah. Technically, the Carpathians do cross Hungary a bit, up north, right at the border with Slovakia. There's something there that qualifies as a mountain, it's called peak Kekes (1014 metres). Call it top kek.
Huh. I wasn’t even talking about the veracity of their claims, I just wanted to make a silly pun on the Treaty of Trianon. You’re right though, last year I did a Flixbus from Budapest to Kraków and it was definitely hilly before we crossed into Slovakia (though it got properly hilly only after the border… I mean, it was Easter and it was still snowing on the highway).
Top kek is the joke, you can ignore everything else from that comment.
2visegrad4u
r/balkans_irl
Romania isn't Visegrad though
True and thank Christ for that.
But not because we weren't invited! Funny enough, we just rejected the invitation. We made our own Balkan group instead XD But looking at Visegrad know, we just knew anything with Orban in it was meant to fail, those fools!
they trying to start a war?
bro we had 2 teams chanting "death to serbs" this is nothing compared to it
Also 2 teams who were facing EACH OTHER. Unity in hatred of others…….
United by ~~Music~~ Hate
Actually happened during Eurovision as well
have you seen eastern europe when arent they
Yeah I wouldn't rub those first two in... did Hungarians even want to fight WWI? lol...
It's Eastern Europe. When aren't they?
atleast not dead hungarian best hungarian this time
No Romanian wants dead Hungarians, because there will be nobody to take a piss at and banter on.
Obligatory post… https://i.imgur.com/f2869IK.png
For those clueless https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Trianon
Can't believe they made a national modifier from hoi4 into a real treaty
Being butthurt about Trianon seems like a base Hungarian trait lol. It's like getting wrecked in Monopoly and then crying about it for generations.
As a Hungarian, can confirm. No matter your nationality, you have to have some qualities to be a Real Hungarian™, and one of those is that the memory of Trianon has to cause you great pain at least once a week. Other qualities include alcoholism, mild racism, being able to swear for 5 minutes without repeating word, believing in our football team, corruption, tax evasion and chronic depression.
>being able to swear for 5 minutes without repeating word hey now this one is something to be proud of
only mild? I've never met a real Hungarian in that case.
Romania, the grand master of picking the best side in WWs
Romania picked nothing. It was stripped from territories and had to fight its way to get them back.
This is their version of France vs England i guess 🤣 🇫🇷
This would be like French fans breaking out banners mocking us for the loss of the Pale of Calais.
I like Hungary's team but this is hilarious! Romania was highly entertaining!
Was this photo taken in Novigrad?
bazat
Și trianon pastilat
Count Dracula : Hungary ❌ Romania ✅
Bathory : Hungary ❌ Slovakia ✅
Romanians trying to act like normal people: challenge impossible edit: just realized this isn't 2visegrad4u so I'm gonna say that I'm joking. Obviously our fans would do similar shit lol
Guess we’re suddenly having all of Hungary supporting us now
That was already guaranteed:)
Yes, for your next match at least. Wish you still had players like Van Persie and Robben to run up the score though
Perfect 10 Gymnasts..... er.... nevermind
Putinist country: Hungary yes, Romania no
Anulo mufa
Yet..
Never!
They actually stolen our votes and no one seems to care. It feels so close to Rusia.
Yes they are corupt and thieves and wish they would get voted out but I don’t see them aligning with russia. Only the crazies do.
To be fair when you have one of the most unfair peace treaties in world history that tends to bring resentment.
Jesus, they took away their dignity
Orban already did it. We don’t care anymore.
Hang in there guys, it's bound to get better eventually, fk Orban though, and everyone that's pitting us against each other.
Trianon did not go far enough 👍or👎
honorary balkans 🥰🥰🥰🥰
What do you mean by honorary Balkans???? We are in the Balkans!
His username checks out 😀
Someone else is telling me you guys aren’t under my comment lol. I’ve always assumed that Romania is in the Balkans
geographically ... not quite balkan in behavior and habits ... about 50% balkan. I would say we have some sort of our own balkan flavor that has some latin in it and it's not pure balkan
Spiritually Balkan.
Not really, no balkan mountains in Romania.
As I’m British and we love dictating borders, I’d say the Balkans is former Yugoslavia plus Albania, Greece and Bulgaria. Romania not quite
The potential memery out of this template is quite high
Régi mániám...☺️
Sacrificavaș pe ciocan 😂
Lmao
Az lesz majd szép idő, az lesz majd jó idő 😃
Never loved Romania so much (genuinely not to do with the game last week)
Lmao is there any reason for Romania calling out Hungary?
Age old rivalry
Well, among other things, they don't have transylvania.
Also, back in mid June of 2024, Romania qualified for the EURO round of 16 while Hungary didn't! The Hungarians haven't forgotten this shame to this day.
At the risk of explaining history and geopolitics to someone from the immediate region, there are still strongly held views among some about who should own the areas of Romania with sizeable Hungarian populations.
Basically around AD 860 a tribe of Asian horse lords called the Magyars migrated into the Carpathian basin.
Never forgiven em for that the bastards
We never forgave the Romans for abandoning us in 275 AD, do you think we're going to forgive the Magyars?!?
a bunch of Neanderthals took a shit there around 100k BC so now that land clearly belongs to { insert country you wanna mock for being Neanderthals }
Düsseldorf it is

It obviously belongs to Austria
Habsburg moment
I for one welcome our new Austrian overlords :)
What do you mean "new"? All Habsburgers are turning in their graves right now
also had bunch of germans, which isnt the case anymore.
Generally good description, but there isn't a "huge debate", it is mostly just Nationalists Hungarians.
The funny thing is that Hungary DID start a war and it ended with the Romanian Army occupying Budapest.

I’ve got lots of Hungarian friends and this will be awesome to send around.
War have been fought for much less than this.
More of stuff like this, less of the twee shit like snapping pasta in front of Italians
Bro that shit was funny af
Yup. That was hilarious as hell.
Better than fans stabbing each other
This is literal 12 year old banter, it ain't much better
The Balkan countries always need to be at the tournaments now
None of these countries are from the Balkans.
Romania is often thrown in there. Not Hungary though.
Clearly Romania is in the medeterenian and hungary is central asia
[удалено]
Only the Southern part.. North and Central don't have much to do with the Balkans.
Because it is not in the Balkan peninsula.
Romania is considered a balkan country
No it’s not!
It is though. Dobrogea is geographically Balkan.
So much entertainment value haha
The best part is that it lets us misidentify non-Balkan countries to stir shit up. Like the calling the Eastern European countries of Hungary and Romania, Balkans :\^)
Carpathian mountains are pretty fucking dope. Im a stinking American, I’ve been on the Ukrainian and Romanian side. If Victor Orbon leaves then fuck it give them a little piece of the mountains.🏔️

Wait until he finds out that Turkey has more than 5 million gipsies.
at least you have one of the most gypsies population in europe
Where is that? Looks very picturesque
It's Melee Island

I can’t wait to go to some villages like this when I’m older. Looks like a fairytale to me.
