@@Ari91 To clear this up for the international readers: The term "Krapfen" is used in the southern parts of germany. "Pfannkuchen" is the term that is used in the eastern and some of the northern parts of germany - ironically also in Berlin. The term "Berliner" is the short version of "Berliner Pfannkuchen" which is used mostly in the western parts of germany to avoid confusion, because there the word "Pfannkuchen" has a different meaning which matches the english term "pan cake" but has different names in other parts of germany.

Germany has thousands of varieties of breads, small cakes and pastries. The organizations like the German Bread Institute list them by category, region (all the way down to variations by town), season, history, etc. When I returned to Germany years ago, my wife and I went on one of the popular Bread Tours, wherein you try the popular town breads and pastries in each of dozens of towns that you visit on the tour. This used to drive her crazy, because she expected more standardization in the names and recipes than there is or could ever be. And when we hit Schwaben and Bayern, even names she thought she knew were pronounced differently and truncated unexpectedly. It won’t surprise you that even more variations were introduced when some of the cultures split off in far off Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. I’m proud of you for even wanting to know anything about Holiday Pastries in a game set so far in time and space from the origins!

In Norway and Denmark, we call it "fastelavn", which comes from the German "Fastelabend", meaning the same as Fasnacht. Our traditional baked goods are buns - in Norway, they're usually plain sweet yeasted ones, filled with whipped cream and jam after baking. Sometimes we add almond paste / marzipan to the filling as well. They're eaten mainly on the Sunday before Fat Tuesday, on Fat Tuesday it's often pancakes here as well.

Love the video, interesting to learn about irl stuff that the stuff we do in game is based on. Also now i want to get some donuts...

the best way to explain how to pronounce the CH in nacht is like when you get something stuck in your throat and you try to get it out^^( i cant think of an english sound that actually sounds like it but its like an hard "khr" sound) the other version of ch(like in "Ich" ich means me/I) is more like a "sh" but a soft sh like in telling someone to be quiet^^

This is really great, you have a Nacht for history vids.

As of today I’ve ran just over a dozen fasnacht events, and I’ve been fortunate enough to get a glowing turkey and glowing robot mask. This is my first fasnacht, so it’s been fun collecting all of the different ones, although I’m still waiting to find the one like yours

Any luck with the glowing masks

its basically very similar all around the christian world: Brazillian Carnival, Mardi Gras, Masopust, Donnerstag, etc. Of course, the south hemisphere and north hemisphere dont share the same dates for these christian celebration, but they share the same motifs: Fat Tuesday, Shrovetide, Ash Wedsneday, Lent, etc...

Fact. Cinderella is called "Aschenputtel" in German. Now you know where it came from and what it means

So you are telling me..back in the day, they were not grinding for a glowing mask?

This whole event has been a pain for me and my fallout playing family. The event itself is a pain, but it's compounded by the fact that as a bloodied build I find doing the event in nukezones is not worth the pain and anguish and most of the servers I've been on have a constant flow of nukes in the area. I have only got three masks out of the 36 I've run, a minotaur and two skull masks one of which I placed in the box right before I was summarily executed by another player. Of the 36 I've run, 7 I did not complete because right during the boss fight the game locked up and I got booted. I get that people love it but based on my experiences I absolutely loathe it and finding out it is here for another week makes me sick to my stomach.

Lol. It sure is a tongue-twisting name. Your German pronunciations were understandable. The German accent is a harsh one. You have to put some real "stank" into the words and come across almost as if you sound like you want to fight. Lol I'm half German and there is a big population of germanic people all through Ohio. The food is bland and not very colorful, but the sweets are amazing. Cookies, chocolate, pastries, etc, are absolutely incredible.

Not happy with this event. When I have to go afk to deal with the family or a job the game is good. But several times I come back right before it starts an then I help get the event going. The sec the bots start walking I have a game crash an can't join til it's over. B.S.

I’m originally from right outside the Pennsylvania Dutch area and we always pronounced it faush-naught.

Its a Grind to not get a mask with a 0.2% chance to get the one rare mask you didnt want

where i from it is Fastnacht and the donuts are called Kreppel

Hey there! I noticed you had some trouble pronouncing "Fasnacht"! I came to offer help, I hope you don't mind! When saying "nacht", it's almost like you're trying to say October, but when you get to the "Oct" it's supposed to be more like "acht" 😅 there's no "X" in the pronunciation. I hope this finds you well and hope it helps!

What suit are u wearing in the intro and how do I get it ?

Fat Tuesday is also what made me throw up on my Vegas hotel floor at 3am

Fatsnatch is the best.

me n mom would make tamale pie together on fat Tuesday and Spanish rice n chicken as well, I'm a good hearted Christian no worries i just love making some good food on that day to honor traditions sometimes salmon too,ohh man my glowing radicorn mask i want so bad

What does Fasnacht mean? It means dead servers where everyone is AFK. It means level 800 players empting a donation box that is meant for low level players. It means people selling rare masks for real money. IMO Fasnacht is the low point of the year. This event brings out the very worst in the 76 community.

It means, boring!

It sounds German. I pronounce it fosnot.

No rares so far but my friend has gotten 7 rares I hate this game

The masks are mildly interesting but the event is so lame they are a chore to go for.

Fastnacht mean is... mr west tek told me to nuke the event...edit someone nuke the event and with the mask on steedy rads isn t fun but at the end i got a glowing queen mask...idk did it ramp up the odds some elce got one 2

Meaning of faschnat is honestly just be lazy in all servers for a two week break and as a new player don’t expect to do any other event I found that out the hard way in a eviction notice when nobody else came but us low levels

Would have been interesting video if you would have bothered to subtitle it. The verbal spelling is not helping.

Thanks for the video. I thought it meant scamming your customer into wasting their time and ammunition for a basic mask over and over again. I learn something new everyday....like there are other better games to play. See how that works. Let's hope it catches on!!

Fastnacht is imho the absolute worst part of Fallout 76. Not even blue screens, black screens, server crashes or scammers are this annoying.
