Naja, die AfD ist ja nicht erst seit gestern ein Thema. Die führen das weiter, was schon vor langer Zeit mit der NPD anfing und dann um 2014 mit Pegida erst mal richtig Traktion bekam, nämlich die Etablierung von rechtsextremem Gedankengut im politischen Mainstream. Im Parlament sitzt die Partei ja nun auch schon seit sieben Jahren.

More like in favour of non-shitty Bluetooth earbuds. I’ve never had this kind of issue with mine.

My German father, who lived and worked in Budapest for a long time, pronounced it wrong. I rarely have cause to use the name but when I do, I try to do it justice.

I know this as ‘eat your frogs’.

I am generally unwilling to pay extra for features I don’t need and didn’t ask for.

Why would you need to charge it all the way up? Just plug in the PSU, switch it on, look for your file, turn it off.

Why does Torx Plus have six teeth but tamper-resistant Torx Plus has five? Whereas ‘what the fuck is this’ basically looks like it should be tamper-resistant Torx Plus?

That pistol appears to be cocked and not locked (safety off). I seriously hope there’s no round chambered.

Scalpers are a problem that transcend Ticketmaster. Heck, they transcend the world of event tickets. Scalpers are a pain in so many areas. Fuck them.

Ich habe zwar einen Account auf feddit.org, aber meine App und Web-Frontend sind immer noch auf feddit.de eingeloggt. Und meine Kommentarhistorie mag ich auch nicht unbedingt verlieren.

“I always thought there couldn’t possibly be a God, with all the evil in the world. But perhaps… all this evil exists because there is a God. Perhaps, yes, perhaps this God just isn’t a particularly nice guy. It’s possible that God isn’t a DJ, but an arsehole.”

“He’s probably both. A DJ who exclusively plays Rammstein at a kid’s birthday party.”

“You know the saying that God created Man in His image? Well, look around. If you assume that God is an arsehole, it suddenly makes a lot of sense.”

Q: What do you call people who believe in the existence of Satan?

A: Christians.

Dreamfall Chapters was the first game where I stopped and thought for 15 minutes about a choice I needed to make, and its implications.

Life is Strange, LiS: Before The Storm, and LiS: True Colors, hve a special place in my heart for their deeply engrossing and moving stories, and for really getting me to care about the characters and their fates.

The first Witcher game was one that drew me in so much that I immediately started a second playthrough upon finishing the first. I have never done that with any other game.

Hardspace: Shipbreakers stuck with me for being such an excellent melange of complex puzzle, industrial accident simulator, and poignant satire on the state of labour in late stage capitalism.

Depending on your SLA, 3 minutes can be a pretty big chunk of your monthly error budget.

It didn’t just take “Hitler’s death” for Germans to be able to vote again. It wasn’t a case of “oh look, he’s dead, now we can go back to democracy”. It took over a decade of political terror and violence, a devastating world war, and one of the most organised campaigns of mass murder and genocide in history.

Brave is the one run by transphobes who also love crypto.

How would you drive the adoption of such a protocol in an environment that is largely hostile towards attempts at demonetising things?

Re the first part: nobody enters my house if they don’t have a key and I’m not present. Re the second part, I don’t trust any software-based technology near enough to rely on that kind of stuff without double-checking. . Turn the key, done.

So be authentic to the universe. Be authentic to the lore. Nobody knows what ‘authentically American’ will look like in fifty plus years. And it’s still a fictitious city. There is no need for details to conform with any particular city of today, American or not.

I don’t need a game that’s set in a fictional future and world to be ‘authentically American’.
