After doom scrolling through job descriptions for hours without blinking, one thing keeps preying on my mind: Can one really be "passionate about databases"? No kink shaming, just curious.

My advisor at the unemployment agency just told me: "Things look pretty shitty in your industry, eh?" and then we both laughed for like ten minutes and that was our whole meeting.

Kleiner Funfact: Weil die CDU in ihrer kleinen Anfrage auch @gabrielakeller.bsky.social und meine Recherche zu den "Rechtstreibern in der CDU" erwähnte, hat sich das Publikum für diesen Artikel noch mal vergrößert. Prognose: Wir überschreiten bald die 500 000 Zugriffe correctiv.org/aktuelles/pa...

Gerade aus Versehen das Wort "Sensoren" gegendert und mich gefragt, ob Dieter Nuhr dabei irgendwo von einem diffusen Schauer heimgesucht wurde.

Letztens habe ich im Adventurepodcast mit @bardcode.bsky.social über Loco Motive gesprochen. Stargast @domschott.bsky.social war auch dabei - und der hat jetzt den Komponisten des Spiels zum Interview gehabt, Paul Zimmermann: okcool.space/wie-macht-ma...

Wie macht man gute Musik für ein Point'n'Click-Adventure? (Der Gast weiß es): OK COOL trifft Paul Zimmermann - OK COOL

Paul Zimmermann ist waschechter Komponist und schrieb schon für einige Spiele hübsche Soundtracks. Sein neuster Wurf ist nun zufälligerweise die Musik für eines der Lieblingsspiele 2024 von Gastgeber ...

Folge 27 im Adventurepodcast: Es geht um "Loco Motive", das höchst sympathische Spiel über einen mysteriösen Mord in einem Zug. @bardcode.bsky.social war wieder mal mit dabei und auch Überraschungsgast @domschott.bsky.social! :) adventurepodcast.de/folge-27-loc...

why the fuck would i want realistic graphics. i can see real things just by opening my fucking eyes. i want to see 1000 different interpretations of the world. show me what makes each thing a thing

You can follow Goethe on Amazon Kindl in case he drops a new banger...

I look for reasons why anything in the game happens, but folks, I invent them all!! The real reasons are super boring!
