Normally I love to watch and live-toot but as Israel continues to be involved despite their horrific violence in Gaza, I can’t support the show tonight. Good luck to all the other contestants.

EMF attendees, we'll have a downpour cabinet in the arcade, make a game, tag it with the right thing (to be determined, more info in the arcade on the weekend) and we can all play!

I went to buy more soil for my plants and came back with more plants, and I don’t actually have enough pots for them, so I guess tomorrow I go out and buy more plant pots, but actually I will come home with more plants and oh no this is my millennial midlife crisis isn’t it?

@CuriousScutter I've had 2 kids and never saw any dads in the week-time activity groups (playgroup, parents groups, swimming, etc.) during maternity leave with either, except sometimes during half term holidays. It really sucks! Hang in there, you're a great role model <3

@moraghickman you should though! It's becoming increasingly difficult to find nice fabric that's guaranteed LLM-generation-free :(

Absolutely gutted for my friends at Microsoft/XBox today. Shuttering studios that produced excellent and well received games just shows that the incentives in this industry are all messed up. Very distressing.

@aud don’t know! Sorry

jensclasen, to random German
@jensclasen@mastodon.social avatar

Some German nouns are used completely out of context:

Bock = goat
Ich habe keinen Bock (I have no goat) = I don't want to

Wurst = sausage
Das ist mir Wurst (That's sausage to me) = I don't care

Besen = broom
Ich fress einen Besen (I eat a broom) = I don't believe this

Keks = cookie
Du gehst mir auf den Keks (You go on my cookie) = You're annoying me

Bahnhof = train station
Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof (I understand only train station) = I don't understand anything

❓
🤔

Enjoy our language!

CatherineFlick,
@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@jensclasen I wonder if the last one is because one of the first phrases English speakers often learn in German is "Wie komme ich am Bahnhof?"?

@fiee @jensclasen goes to show how long it's been for me ^_^;;;;;;

CatherineFlick,
@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@fiee haha! fair enough :D thanks!

CatherineFlick,
@CatherineFlick@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@fiee @jensclasen also just realised I got this wrong because I meant to type "am besten zum" instead of just "am" XD Can't forget the besten!

On the cool side, we have 30+ games going into the @emf arcade. On the time consuming side, I now have to write up notes for each one for the programme and to attach to each machine.
