hey, if you don't know what to play tonight, here's a free browser game that made me scream when it told me "ok that's the end of the demo, full version on steam one day" great stuff foolboxstudio.itch.io/scopecreep

Happy Saturday, my lovelies. Marvelling at one of my son's latest art projects...

One of the underlying ideological projects of the right is a the return of women to a position of child-like dependence on men, which they hold up to be both a social and sexual ideal. This erases the boundary of the child because women are not supposed to ever become real adults with equal rights.

Mischievous Cleric Holds Fighter to steal their stuff. Paladin: *grapples him with a Nat 20 Wizard: *upcasts Sleep Paladin and Wizard high-five. Paladin player offplay: "Seriously man, stop stealing our stuff." 12-year olds can take care of their own bullshit quite well. #ttrpg #dnd

Due to some unforeseen free concert tickets, the husband and our big boy had the chance to visit the lovely Elbphilharmonie.

Our Big Boy went to the Warhammer-Store on his own before Christmas and again today. Finally I have found something, I can give to him for his upcoming birthday. Orks are not my favorite, but he loves them dearly. Especially the Squiggs …

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

I am still pretty deep in Europa Universalis 5 and it is a loy fun. But at some point I will have to escape because Pokemon, Katamari and Metroid are waiting. Looks like they will have to wait a little longer ...

Reading all the little personal notes about food, snow and little every day events on bsky gives me the perfect cozy feeling for upcoming winter season. Thank you all!

Alles Gute zum Nikolaus. Found me a bunch of silver daddies whom I hoped would make me happy but they decided to stay put and get eaten by a gaggle of elementary school teachers...

Drunter machen wirs hier nicht 😁

I might have lost control of my life … But hear me out: The husband @wagtail.bsky.social is to blame! He said that I should buy her if they still had the free shuttles. And they did have two shuttles left - I only bought one of the Enterprises though.

Oh, boy, I am pretty deep into "Europa Universalis V" at the moment. Send help! Or after some consideration: Maybe don't …

I received a Plant Dragon friend 🥰 from @bwyrm.bsky.social. It's beautiful and I especially Love the both detailed and very soft leaf mane! 🍃

Was verstehen Maischberger, Lanz & Miosga an dem Satz: „Faschismus ist keine Meinung, sondern ein Verbrechen!“ eigentlich nicht?

Family portraits (IV): In the last months we have all worked so much that I needed an out, so I have started looking at art again and finding wonderful artists to make up for some of the years I missed. Anya was kind enough to create a fantastic piece in the vein of a slavic fairy tale. Lovely!

Family portraits (IIIa): In 2019 I suffered from an exhaustion disorder with a severe depressive episode and was pretty much knocked out for almost a year. It took me quite a while to recover and so there were no family portraits for several years. (P.S. Please pay attention to your mental health.)

I have to repost this for @wagtail.bsky.social

Our nine-year-old just beat the Fire Giant in Elden Ring @vickyhatch.bsky.social after literal weeks of training and trying. He is deservedly proud of himself.

Ah, great game/interactive movie well worth checking-out if you have a marginal interest in superheroes.

So. Wie angekündigt. Hier mein wütender Rant zum Thema #Frauengesundheit ab 35. Genau genommen zu den Themen #Perimenopause #Menopause #Wechseljahre. Und zu der unterirdischen ärztlichen Versorgung. Ja, ja, über die Themen spricht man nicht. Nee, genau das muss sich ändern! Denn wusstet ihr, 1/

She is back! www.youtube.com/watch?v=viti...

Ellie from 💖Wolf Alice💖 personally handed her pick to my son Erik after the concert and gave him the 🤘. We shall worship The Pick 😁 and he will take it to band practice and performances.🔥 Thank you so much, Ellie! We are so happy for Erik! @wagtail.bsky.social @bwyrm.bsky.social

Fall is good to us. The big boy was gifted a guitar pick by the singer of Wolf Alice last night, and he also made the cutest hot beverage fall shot for social media of me...

Exzellente Ausblicke vom Feldstraße-Bunker

About to see Wolf Alice, and @lalelilo.bsky.social and me brought our big boy...

Fantastic recommendations!

Und das übrigens völlig verdient, wer einen interaktiven Film mit ganz viel Herz, Liebe und Moral sucht, der ist hier richtig.

Aus dem Leben eines Übersetzers (06.11.2025): Nach mehr als 20 Jahren sollte ich eigentlich eines wissen: Der Wahnsinn fängt erst richtig an, wenn man hofft, dass der Wahnsinn vorbei ist.

"Europa Universalis V" ist endlich raus und falls Ihr auf Deutsch spielen solltet, dann werdet Ihr auf jeden Fall von mir übersetzte Dinge sehen. Es war ein Mammutprojekt, das viel Kraft und Zeit gekostet hat, aber dank eines tollen Teams haben wir auch das überstanden. Viel Spaß beim Spielen!

Absolute Kuckempfehlung, wenn Ihr darüber nachdenkt, Euch "Europa Universalis V" zuzulegen.

This is pretty amazing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQwF...

FREUNDE! es is Gratiswochenende für Crusader Kings 3! lasst euch anfixen!

Family portraits (III): We all love superheroes, so it was great to find an artist willing and more than capable to portray us as a family of super-heroes. Many thanks to Jennifer for making this dream come true!

Europa Universalis 5 is definitely hurting for some balance tuning at the moment, but its depth of simulation and ultra detailed map might make it the most on-paper impressive historical strategy game of all time. Our review:

Trick or Treating impressions from Hamburg, Germany

Sending out the family for Halloween! @wagtail.bsky.social and @lalelilo.bsky.social kindly doing the rounds while I can stay at home and get some work done.

After quite a while the husband @wagtail.bsky.social and I did manage to gm some rpg for some friends of ours (and lovely @lalelilo.bsky.social ). Cthulhu One-Shots are such a joy! This time a film-crew was looking for some innocent Halloween fun and (of course?) messed with forces from beyond …

Family portraits (II): Just after we got our commission from Jen, we had the opportunity to get a commission by Nadine (@pechschwinge.bsky.social), art director and incredible artist, working on Das Schwarze Auge, so we take it and got this lovely piece of DSA chibi art showing our family.

We would like to make you an offer... The Dispatch cast interview is live on YouTube. Watch it NOW! 📺 youtu.be/5tCfik9R8ss

Das vermutlich größte Paradox-DLC aller Zeit braucht natürlich auch das längste Erklärbär-Video aller Zeiten! #AllUnderHeaven ist für @crusaderkings.com erschienen und die Asien-Erweiterung spielt sich fast wie ein anderes Spiel. Was neu ist, erfahrt ihr hier: youtu.be/rXs270RNaF0 #CK3

Family portraits (I): We love having art around our apartment, so in the late 2010s we got the idea to have a family portrait painted (there is bit more of a backstory, but it's too convoluted for Bsky). So when I stumbled across this picture platypusradio.me/2016/03/13/t... it seemed perfect fit.

Oh I was NOT prepared for Hunter Schafer in Tilda Swinton's Orlando wardrobe today The LEVELS of gender at work here

Ach, Zeitumstellung … Jetzt ist der Schlafrhythmus wohl erstmal wieder hinüber beim Nachwuchs und mir.

I just started "Dispatch" by @adhocstudio.com and @mayannaberrin.bsky.social and even first few minutes hooked me. Fantastic work!

Our lovely mother of dragons (@lalelilo.bsky.social) is trying „Crusader Kings 3“ for the first time. Having worked on it for literal years, I could not be happier - even if she plays in English.

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas. Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years. Viva New Vegas. 🎲

I made a thing. Not my usual thing, but using similar skills - gathering information, structuring it, thinking up a good way to present it. Enter: The Seal Signal @sealsignal.bsky.social - a global guide to seal rescue and conservation.
