The existance of Dormagen implies the existence of places like Dorhirn, Dorherz and Dorniere.

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic I made a mistake and for a moment I took this seriously. Then I realized what you are saying. 😅

Seriously, though, why is it called Dormagen? There is Remagen. Do they have something in common?

Just played a run of "A highland song". I shouldn't have, but I did anyway.

This game is just beautiful. There's no other way to put it.
It's also scottish through and through: Lots of scottish folklore, you just want to dive in, scottish charme, a beautiful soundtrack with scottish folk music that accompanies the whole experience.

Another stellar indie gem that somehow has climbing mountains as a major theme.

Will definitely try another run when I get the time to do it.

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Wow, I never even heard of this game. Now my life feels incomplete. Seriously, this sounds exactly like my kind of thing!

Eine der größten Probleme, die ich in unserer Debattenkultur sehe, ist die Unfähigkeit zur Abgrenzung (kämpfe ich leider auch oft genug mit).

Viel zu viele Leute mischen sich in Dinge ein, die sie schlicht nichts angehen.

Was geht mich an, wie irgendein Kindergarten ihre Arbeit mit ihren Kindern gesteltet? Das ist Sache der KiTa und der Eltern der betreuten Kinder!
Hier geht es nicht um Ausgrenzung oder Rassismus, oder politische Verfolgung sondern um einen fucking Baum.

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Ich weiß nicht, an welchen Fall Du konkret denkst, aber generell seh ich Deinen Punkt. Manchmal ist es etwas bizarr, welche Dinge man für politisch in einem engeren Sinne erklärt.

Ich frage mich, ob das eine Spielart von einem allgemeinen Problem ist. Ich habe das Gefühl in Deutschland gibt es die Erwartung, dass man umso bessere Entscheidungen trifft, je weiter die Entscheidenden von der Sache entfernt sind, über die entschieden wird. Wie der kluge Kopf vom Föderalismus oder so.

Here we go again...

BonfireAtNight, to Metroid German

I still remember how twenty years ago I desperately wanted to play Metroid Prime. Today I finally picked it up for the Switch.

Still looks as awesome as ever. The opening act was great. Now I'm looking forward to the exploration.

Kollegen haben ein kleinen Taubennestling gefunden.
Problem 1: In dem Stadium hätte es in der Nähe des Fundortes bessere Überlebenschancen.
Problem 2: Der Fundort ist ein Bereich, in dem sich keine Tiere aufhalten sollen.
:/

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Arbeitet bei Dir auf der Arbeit eigentlich auch manchmal jemand? 😅

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Touché! Dennoch, aus irgendeinem Grund hat mein Gehirn die paar Handyfotos, die ich von Dir gesehen habe, in eine Zirkusveranstaltung verwandelt. Stilsicher im Comic-Look.

I made this turntable work. It feels like I performed black magic.

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic beautiful! Shame about the colored vinyl, though. 😅

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Oh, I was only talking about the record itself. The turntable looks spot-on!

Cool, so you didn't even need a new amp with a phono input but could immediately attach it to existing hardware? That's neat.

BonfireAtNight, to sciencefiction

@marthawells 's Murderbot might be my new favorite protagonist. There is something very striking about a (part) robot acting as if it was a robot. It hacked its governor module and is now a self-conscious agent seeking direction and acceptance.

Self-conscious in the literal and the more current sense of the world,. I loved how the elusively simple story is full of subtlety and philosophical depth. Glad I finally joined the Murderbot fan camp.

Hiding from the carnival craze outside to finally get started with a game I've been meaning to play for the longest time.

System admin soundtrack for the day: Death - Symbolic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftxAQZ3UHqM

BonfireAtNight,

@daviwil Death is among the few death metal bands I love, and Symbolic is probably my favorite of theirs. The guitar solo in the title song is insane.

I saw many years ago at the AZ in Mülheim and it was the weirdest show ever. People were like talking and standing with their back to the stage as if the crappiest and most local band was playing. It was so bad the band split up for a little while afterwards.

I listened to an interview and vocalist Bryan said that at shows it's as if people are just watching with blank faces. It's obviously not very uplifting music, but isn't this awesome enough to smile?

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Oh, I totally see your point. I think the somewhat monotonous vocal delivery and the reserved overall approach is a bit of an acquired taste even for people who are into this kind of music.

Still, within the "scene" they are fairly popular and at least on the internet people are very passionate about them. I wonder why this doesn't carry over to the live setting.

Maybe their fans are all just a bunch of introverted stoners, which is very well possible. 😅

I was thinking about creating some kind of landing page/linktree in which I list my identities that are truely me.
Two reasons:

  1. There are actually other people using the name "Weirdaholic" (one instance being some kind of popculture/nerd podcast by two women, the other two being abandoned YouTube Channels)
  2. I don't want to create accounts on dozens of platforms, just to prevent impersonification. I also kind of want to kill my Twitter-Account.
BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Linktree probably works just fine. You should avoid the temptation of graphical CMS like Wix at all costs (trust me, it's infuriating). If you also want to avoid the hassle (and perhaps costs) of setting up your own server you should try GitHub Pages with Jekyll (I think Hugo is supported, too).

You can create static pages (i.e. no JavaScript or stuff like that) mostly by writing Markdown files. It's fairly easy to get started, especially if you have WSL installed.

Does YouTube somehow limit the bandwidth on smaller channels? My internet situation is not perfect (living in Germany after all), but it's always slow when watching @LGUG2Z while it works fine for channels with more views/subscribers.

Way to ruin today's "Armored Core VI" dinner session!

Weirdaholic, to random German

Dank erneutem Speichenbruch heute mit dem Zug in Köln: Neues Hinterrad besorgen und dann zur Vorlesung.

Ich hab die Ringe irgendwie voller in Erinnerung. Scheint als würden die Maßnahmen der letzten Jahre hier greifen. (Ausweichverhalten mal ausgeklammert, da ich das nicht einschätzen kann).

BonfireAtNight,

@Weirdaholic Story of my life. Also so in etwa zumindest.
