- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
Valve will have a good enough overview on the situation and if they think it will hurt sales they can simply make a statement. They can handle it.
It’s interesting to discuss about the price but being upset about „idiots“ who have wrong ideas and playing hero for a multi billion dollar corporation is something I’m confused about.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
So what exactly does that change? Value already decided the price and that is what you will have to pay. Who cares what anyone ever predicted?
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
Just finished it with all achievements (except final Takezo fight, yet) in about 50 hours. It was a little repetitive yes, but it didn’t bother me much. The setting, presentation and gameplay checks all the boxes for me so I kept going.
But I would’ve also been happy if it was shorter. That’s my general opinion on games these days.

I miss my old Club Nintendo magazines. Shouldn’t have thrown them away. One of them had a huge story about the „upcoming“ 64DD, which then never released outside of Japan. I used to browse through that from time to time, dreaming…

That Whatsapp button is very annoying and can’t be removed. It feels like every app has a „helpful“ chatbot now that sits in the corner, occasionally telling you it exists. They really want everyone to use it. DDG at least gives you options to completely disable it.

I would recommend playing the game first or ditch the rest of the series altogether. Certain important moments need to be felt really hard and the series is just not delivering that. I played the game twice actually and it still works. It’s a bit long though.

If the customers still buy it in the end, the publisher was right. We will see over time. Maybe there will be a drop in sales but then GTA6 comes along and no one can resist, opening the path for other games.

Today I watched the first three episodes of the new Black Mirror season and while Common People and Bete Noire were good but pretty standard, Hotel Reverie somehow hit every note for me. Mid film I just thought Wow this is brillant! I was so invested I stood up at the shooting scene and I surprised myself by saying a high pitched and very happy „Aw!“ when the credits rolled. And my god Emma Corrin is excellent!

Even though I’m a huge Zachtronics Fan, I never bought Exapunks until recently. And I love it, of course. I get so much satisfaction out of improving my solutions, I often think about it outside of the game.
- Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen? 6 months ago:
So we have this format called Last One Laughing in Germany (it started in Japan). The first 2-3 seasons were pretty funny but lately it has become unwatchable.
For anyone who doesn’t know, the concept is a bunch of comedians are put in a room together for 6 hours and are not allowed to laugh. Whoever laughs is out, last one wins (hence the title). So everyone is trying to be as funny as possible by finding out that one trigger for each person or by shooting in every direction. It’s a great concept.
In Germany they now struggle to find any good comedians willing to join (not that we have many options in the first place) so they add more and more random personalities who are not funny at all but use this opportunity and to show the world what they’re made of. Imagine that one guy who doesn’t belong to a group and desperately tries to belong but here everyone is that guy.
Then there is the annoying host Bully Herbig who is constantly fake-laughing for the audience and holding his hand over the red button like „Oh my god look how funny this is! It must be happening any second!“ It’s basically a laugh track. Later they even added people into the stage who fake-laugh. It’s ridiculous.
On top of that the show runners tuned the concept so there is no time for anyone to settle anymore, it’s just one special event after the other. It’s like Tik Tok. No opportunity for the contestants to just do a random joke during conversations or something. Also what counts as a laugh is so strict, they only need to move a muscle and it counts.
The UK finally started doing their own version and the first season is so much better than what Germany does. There are much less special events and they are more controlled. Most laughs happen from random conversations and they don’t even need to be so strict about what is a laugh because this is actually funny and they are laughing out loud!

Didn’t imagine I’ll write this down ever in my life but the solution is to open the hole for a sec so it can „reset“ and close up properly. Then it should be no problem. It can clog up from sweat or semen which created this spray effect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
