'The network’s logo resembles a “red pill,” as in the metaphorical medicine that alt-right podcasters urge their listeners to swallow so that they might stop feeling bad about being bigoted incels.'

German infrastructure is still nowhere as good as Dutch bicycle infrastructure, unfortunately.

Still, I can actually get around to most places by , which is more than I could say for most American cities.

16. What's your target audience? Why?

First and most obviously, enthusiasts, as well as those who are interested in German history and culture.

I also hope that players find these of interest - I am one of these myself, and the old German folk tales I am translating often have the same chaotic energy that the best role-playing game sessions have.

And finally, those with an interest in in general. We should all try to find inspiration in those who came before us, and these stories break a lot of modern storytelling conventions which we take for granted.

(Note: Yes, I know I am a day late with this, but I still wanted to get my two cents in.)

In German folklore, supernatural entities are usually driven away by either prayer OR swearing - never both.

For me it wasn't the cards either which bogged Midnight Suns down.

For one thing, the exploration of the Abbey grounds just felt flat. These just wasn't enough interesting stuff to do.

For another, there were no tough, strategic decisions to be made in the strategic map - no "Doomsday Clock". You could just grind minor missions for rewards as long as you wanted without consequences.

The cards were fine.

@orangelantern Parts of these were fun, yes... but they don't really offer much in the way of replay value.

I mean, I've finished XCOM 2 at least half a dozen times, probably more, but I can't see myself doing that with Midnight Suns.

You may have heard of ghosts taking on the shapes of headless horsemen.

But have you heard of the one about the ghost of a headless horse?

Finding time to read in a busy schedule can be tough. But even 10 minutes a day can take you on incredible journeys. How do you fit reading into your day?

@razumasu Usually in the evening, just before I fall asleep.

15. Have you ever attended a writer's fair / festival to promote your work? Would you

I haven't done so, though I might do this once I have a few more books under my table. Finding the right one is tricky, though - I live in Germany but write in English.

However, my cover artist is going to show off my books at the in in a few weeks!

@ljwrites To be honest, I haven't even heard of book fairs focusing on translated works before.

@harasurya In Germany, Amazon usually takes a week or so to deliver author copies.

Auf meine eigene Wehrdienstzeit sehe ich mit gemischten Gefühlen zurück.

Aber hat nun mal ein Land in unmittelbarer Nähe, das bereit ist seine Nachbarländer anzugreifen. Wie die Polen damit umgehen wollen, ist zunächst mal ihre Entscheidung.

Habe kürzlich vom Konzept des "Bildungsurlaubs" erfahren.

Wer von Euch hat sowas schon mal gemacht? Und wie hat Euer Arbeitgeber auf die Beantragung reagiert?

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildungsurlaub

juergen_hubert,
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe avatar

@Just_me @Morgunin Dafür hat Bayern vier mehr gesetzliche Feiertage als wir in Niedersachsen.

Und die wären mir ehrlich gesagt lieber als Bildungsurlaub - da gibt es weniger Diskussion mit dem Arbeitgeber und weniger Papierkram.

Polen will seine Ostgrenze stärker befestigen

Polen misstraut Russland und dessen Verbündeten Belarus schon länger. Nun hat Regierungschef Tusk verkündet, die "gesamte Ostgrenze" mit neuen Befestigungsanlagen abzusichern. Dafür erwartet er auch Investitionen aus der EU.

@incoherentmumblings @tagesschau Putin konnte Kiev nur nicht einnehmen, weil Ukraine sich seit vielen Jahren auf die Verteidigung dieser Stadt vorbereitet hat.

Wenn sich Polen auf ähnliche Weise vorbereiten will, dann ist das nur nachvollziehbar.

It's essential to look at the extreme dangers of a second Trump administration. If Trump does win, it’s important to realize that even the best-case scenarios are very bad — for Democrats and the left, certainly, but also for democracy.

This Sunday, I just want to quantify the danger for — and subsequently from — the courts. https://www.lawdork.com/p/six-months-out-trump-courts
