ChiaroBen

Not sure if I'll watch the entire thing, but I'll definitely check how good he does :D

Every single time I have to install some flying equipment - which doesn't happen often, but it does happen and is happening soon - I'm always kinda scared.

Like, I KNOW that I'm hanging something weighing 100kg on parts that can hold 1t+, and everything will be fine. But still, it's 10m high.

Dude how the fuck is he always so wholesome?

Do I have the energy right now to put effort into such a project.
Absolutely fucking not.

I still really like the idea of an Artist Collective, a group of artists with a shared website / blog where everyone posts their work and there is occasional, but not always, collabs. Basically a way to, as a team, produce a multitude of different arts and content to merit such a thing.

Me, standing under the shower, minding my own business:
"... fuck. A new project idea."

It's such a weird feeling to learn a synth nerd I've been watching on YT for years is a Eurovision Song Contest entry.

No no, it's exactly right.

I'm roughly half done with a first draft, but then music and in the last months especially my Pathfinder campaign were the bigger focus.
At my core I am a storyteller though. And there is the miniscule, minimal hope that writing could be part of a career. Moreso than my niche music.

I think I want to put energy into writing my novel again.

Scoring a small weird ass game really is the dream

WAT

So oft hört man "Arbeit muss sich lohnen" und "Warum sollen die Leute arbeiten wenn es Bürgergeld gibt".
Ich werde nie verstehen, wie die Folge daraus "dann muss die Sozialhilfe runter" und nicht "dann müssen die Löhne hoch" sein kann.

I Don’t Need A Bloodborne Remake, I Just Need It To Not Run Like Ass I love Bloodborne. I'd love to see it updated, but I don't need an entire remake. Just make the game that's there sing.

Every time a theoretical Bloodborne remake is talked about I get a headache. Just make the game we already have run not run like ass. I will pay money for this. aftermath.site/bloodborne-r...

No sense in forcing it. Sometimes a creative break is necessary to fill up batteries, and when the urge is coming back, it'll be by itself and it will feel lighter than before.

Such a cool idea! Retelling of famous stories through different artists should happen more often - you get so many different styles and interpretations that way.

Well I know it's unexpected at this point, but yeah, I'm streaming Final Fantasy IX again! Hop in and see me struggle to remember where I was:

"US and Israel commit war crimes" isn't really news.

The thing is: We can! We are economically very powerful. We lack the political power, because the only damn thing european politicians say is "we urge both sides to stop escalating" and of course no one listens.
The EU is our best way to keep existing in this world. And for that it needs to change.

Another good time to push more towards european integration and independence. The EU needs to get stronger institutionally and work towards an actual politcal union, instead of being an economic one with a parliament tagged on as an afterthought.
We need to be able to stand against the big powers.

If you think you hate the USA enough, no you don't.

Fucking 20 years ago a German satirist said "We're told that we should not drift into superficial anti-americanism. But... mine isn't superficial."

I wouldn't have minded living in a time without a US president escalating in the Middle East to distract from domestic failures.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah, it really is obnoxious. I've gone back to buying DVDs and Blurays for movies, and while it's mostly good, I hate both the "don't pirate" shit and then trailers for movies that came out 10+ years ago! Why are there ads on a product I bought.
