Btw, trade magazine subs are tax deductible if you work in or near the industry, not just in Germany. I think a lot of people, especially indies, don't know this! You can get an important work tool for your industry for basically free and still support that publication. Isn't that awesome?
If you want to help keep the lights on here, there has never been a better time. You can get our magazine on paper to your home AND get a fantastic puzzle game on disc/cartridge as a present.

Hoffe die laufen einfach rum, fallen manchmal wo runter und gucken auf kaputte Burgen und zu große Monster am Horizont.
The oligarchs hate renewables because they can't profit from them. Once everyone buys solar panels, their energy costs are free. It isn't only the oil industry that doesn't want this to happen. Utility companies don't want it either. Anything that helps people and doesn't make money is an anathema.
Zu spitz, ich merk schon

Instagram-Post: „Zara steht vor dem Aus“
Es ist alarmierend, was ZARA gerade schrieb:
Das Bundeskanzleramt hat vollständig & mitten im laufenden Jahr die Förderung der Beratungsstelle #GegenHassimNetz gestrichen - das ist österreichweit die wichtigste Anlaufstelle für Betroffene digitaler Gewalt
Es ist wichtig, dass die Förderung bleibt!

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?
Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

That was a very good evening and a great keynote by @jesawyer.bsky.social and with @joeyprink.bsky.social.
'Games professor' Johanna Pirker at TUM had opened her first DemoDay with a bang: Josh Sawyer from Obsidian held the keynote about working in small teams in front of a full hall of students. The keynote is now free to watch online as well.

It's time to talk about something very personal. Receiving an invoice from a freelancer is very triggering. There, I said it. The thought of money leaving my account gives me distress. That's why it can take me 6, 10, sometimes even 15 months to transfer it. There is nothing more anxiety inducing than having to pay someone for a job they've done for you. I once received an invoice from my gardener and immediately threw my phone into the ocean. It's debilitating. I wish I could pay people on time, but my emotions won't let me. So please, if you are upset, just remember the person on the other end refusing to pay you is also a human. And they're going through a lot.
please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice
