Schiraki, to gamedev

Hey there. Are there any game developers out there that now more about how to release a game in germany? I planned to work on a horror game, until I realized we have something thats called Jugendschutz. X(
To get a USK rating I would have to pay 1300€ what would be more then the expected amount of income for the game.
Is there somebody with more insight on these things I could talk to?

I would not be surprised if this is true:

Anarchists have meanwhile become the strongest defendants of white western capitalist democracies as the lesser bad or evil.

Almost like workers are the strongest defendants of car industry.

Why the f*** would try to coopt the legacy of Immanuel ?

It's probably not a serious question. Maybe it's just a silly immature dunk on / pride. Or maybe there's something darker in Kant's writings that thinks supports recent behavior (I have no reason to believe there is, I'm just openly musing).

Either way it's certainly a bizarre new front in the conflict: war.

FYI for my international audience. The government is openly discussing to change the constitution to make sure the rich can't be taxed and the poor can be made even poorer.

Okay hive mind! Where can I find the darkest, most -est bread* in ? Crust must produce a THOCK THOCK sound when you knock on it, like any good should.

I've tried a couple places but don't want to skew the results 🤠

*Pumpernickel need not apply

Should look somewhat like this:

I wish I could understand it. This tongue twister song looks like a lot of fun. 😄

So, I'm watching an episode of a show on , and I tend to have subtitles on to help with my vocabulary, and the line "Or you hope she gets deposed so you can replace her with a right-wing dictator" got translated as "Or you hope she gets deposed you can replace her with a LEFT-wing dictator".

Um, wtf? That seems pretty weird.

Is there some kind of shortcut process for people in my situation?

Mini-thread 🧵 Just wrapping up the Studies Association conference in beautiful Montreal (with less than beautiful weather)

I have to say: an overstuffed program with 32 (!) concurrent sessions, starting at 8 a.m. (!) is just idiotic: the laudable desire to include as many talks as possible (ppl need to give talks in order to get funding to travel) becomes counterproductive at some point. The fact that some panels on related topics were given the same time slot also makes no sense 😩 1/n

Ok, I tried every single app under the sun for the learning genders in German.

I made something that works for myself.

I put the code and everything here:
