Year after year, I wrestled with the question of whether I really needed the Creative Cloud. Sometimes I take a little longer than other people. But now I’m finally free! Bye #Adobe! Hello #Affinity Suite! (Well, at least till October 30th, when we’ll see if #Serif will ruin their product as well.)

Just when I was about to find Act II in #Silksong way better than Act I (I really liked the Cogwork Dancers), here comes Mount Fay where you need the trashy, unreliable Clawline mechanic. And I am back to: Wow, who playtested this shit?! #MountFrust

Hmm. It took me around 43 hours to reach Act II in #Silksong. HowLongToBeat puts the complete main game at 27 hours. Don’t those people explore the map? I spend, e.g., over 10 hours hunting for certain abilities (I can’t actually get in Act I). Tzz.

Noch eben schnell ein paar Slides zusammenklöppeln, für die #Drupal User Group heute Abend. 19:30 Uhr. Online.

Wow. Another shop with even more expensive items. If I want them I can now farm, again, another 1.150 rosaries, another 30min or so gone, again. This. Is. So. Much. Fun! #Silksong

TIL: William Moulton Marston, who created Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth (with artist Harry G. Peter) in 1941, had also contributed to the development of the polygraph (lie detector) in the years before.

I am amazed at how much I hate #Silksong now. Eighteen hours in, and I only continue to play out of spite.

I’ve put the Nerd Quiz from #dcruhr25 online. 50 questions about pop culture, #Drupal & Web stuff, and some trivia. With a few annotations. This needed to work only on my laptop. So this is not responsive, not optimized, ~50MB. Just zoom in/out. Navigate with arrow keys. talesof.me/nerdquiz/dcr...

Das war nun das siebte DrupalCamp in Essen seit 2010; das Fünfte, das ich mitorganisiert habe. Recht beharrlich für so ein Special-Interest-Camp.

We have published a timetable for DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025. Please note that we have a Barcamp component in the morning, where new sessions, discussions, BOFs etc. will emerge. So some sessions might move around a bit. #dcruhr25 #drupal drupalcamp.ruhr/en/timetable

13h in and I am calling it: #Silksong is one of the most unfun, most annoying games I have ever played! It is beautiful & has lots of good parts. But the annoying stuff overshadows everything else. I will play a bit longer, just to see if I stumble upon the area where they have hidden the fun. #meh

#Silksong #haha Seen on Reddit.

#Silksong: The Bird Wave Challenge in Greymoor is the most unfun shit I have played all year. Those erratic movements are killing me. I already wasted more time on this than on all the bosses that came before. #AllRageNoFun

Seven hours in and #Silksong is more annoying than fun. Everything is way too expensive. Getting hit while healing is such a bad experience. Fetch 25 items quests are lame. And that fucking birds … Still a good game, but boy, Hollow Knight felt much better.

Wow. That Lace fight is draining all the fun out of #Silksong for me.

I am actually looking forward to present my super fancy frontend solution to a backend problem.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little add-on for this theme called »Tonic« (but it seems that project name is already taken).

It would have been really funny if Steam had prepared a Silksong reference for this error page. Soemthing like a shrugging Hornet. #steam #error #silksong

Silksong will kick off the weekend for me at 4 p.m. And I am one of those who would have easily paid 30, maybe 40 Euro for the game. #justtakemymoney www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGe...

Muahahaha. Ich habe im Januar 2022 meinen Schreibtisch zusammengebaut. Bis auf ein optionales Element. Das habe ich nun nachgeholt. 5 Minuten Arbeit, es anzubringen. Plus die zwei Stunden, die ich gebraucht habe, um die Schrauben wiederzufinden. #WasDuHeuteKannstBesorgen

Finally »beat« the final boss of #LiesOfP Overture. Kinda. After 268! attempts I still couldn’t solo the boss on »Legendary Stalker«. Intended difficulty my ass! As Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is ready to go I switched to »AwakenedPuppet« to end this. Without a doubt the shittiest boss I’ve ever faced.

A huge thank you to our Bronze Sponsor Kraut.Hosting for supporting DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025, taking place 12 + 13 Sept in Essen, Germany. Get your ticket now: drupalcamp.ruhr/en/tickets #drupal #dcruhr25

Let’s kick off another round of praise for our sponsors – please give a big hand to our bronze sponsor, arocom! #drupal #dcruhr25

Morgen, um 19:30 Uhr, trifft sich DUG online mit den Themen: Lean local dev ohne schnickschnack (ohne docker) mit Zed-Editor und Devbox - @janstoeckler Ein kurzer Blick auf Graphite - @talesof.me drupalruhr.de/de/events/on...

Still trying to beat the #LiesofP DLC. The final boss is the worst shit I have ever seen in a Soulslike. I hate hate hate this boss. Whoever thought input reading is a fun idea should get fired. If you only want tryhards to play the game, fine. As a casual, I don’t care about Lies of P 2 anymore.

Just watched #Thunderbolts*. I am in utter disbelief. How did the MCU manage to screw #Taskmaster over yet again?! Is there another version somewhere down the road? That is just insanely incompetent. I really don’t care about the rest of the movie. Read the comics, dammit! Get Taskmaster right!

A website that you build on the side offers the opportunity to incorporate all the stuff you usually don’t use – or need. So here are unnecessary CSS masks, some sticky business, scroll-driven animations, fancy typo, an AI joke & an old-school shoutbox. Needs some fine-tuning though. drupalcamp.ruhr

Friendly reminder: Today is the last day to get an Early Bird Ticket for DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025. #drupal #dcruhr25

So, I was looking for a #font for a project. Saw this one. Bought it nearly immedeatly. Just for the ligature fiesta! And I guess I will buy it again for another project.

Lies of P Overture is the most unfun DLC I’ve ever played. Around 70 attempts against Sister Friede? That was fun. 98 attempts for Markiona? No fun at all. That boss drained all motivation out of me. The next boss feels equally bullshit. I could reduce the difficulty. I could also just stop playing.

If you want to make a »Schnäppchen« (bargain): Early Bird Tickets for the next DrupalCamp Ruhr are available till Monday, June 30th. Of course, there are also Regular and Supporter Tickets. More under: drupalcamp.ruhr#tickets #drupal #dcruhr25
