Weird, random, interesting - now with 100% less diacriticals
Is wonder how this would affect other websites. For example I sometimes simply use my fb login on other sites, simply because I'm too lazy to create an account for something that I likely only need once.

What the ****ing ****, piece of **** Netflix canned The Dark Crystal. What the **** is wrong with these dumbnuts doing all these retarded decisions. God, I'm seriously pissed now.

Who are these people? Personally I've never heard of that outside of WW2 history stuff. I'd also argue that the language is more close to that of Bavaria, and bavarian accent is already quite odd at times.

Positions at studios for non-developers?
Generic office jobs exist almost everywhere. There's PR / advertisement stuff, accounting, lawyers, QA, HR, etc. Of course if you actually want to do game design stuff, applying to these positions seems kinda the wrong approach. Other than that, you don't have to "go to school" for game dev stuff at all. You can get into it with making mods as well... you just have to show your skills (which you have to do anyways, even if you went to some fancy game dev study group). Results to show are more important than degrees, imo.

I like how they inverse characters and show the different perspectives. It would have been easy to make one the good and one the bad guy, but they didn't went that way. It's especially good because if you rewatch the old movie, the "good kid" comes off as a real ass now (it was covered by some other youtube videos as well a while ago - basically showing examples of why he is actually the real bully). tl;dr - pretty good so far.

Everyone is talking about Cobra Kai, and I don't have anything else to watch right now, so I booted it up .... I was never much a fan of Karate Kid, etc. but man, that show is pretty good. Certainly going to keep watching it.

So apparently Trump is going to ban TikTok for real. Does he really have the powers to do stuff like that? Feels weird - are we sure america isn't a dictatorship yet?

Politics 2020 - the gift that keeps giving
Man, and america looks crazy already with their pledge to the flag and singing the national anthem every morning, etc. That's some pretty good fascist brainwashing already.

Watched The Devil All The Time yesterday, with twilight sparkle vampire and spiderman. Was quite interesting, even though a bit slow at times. Loved the accents, which were pretty cray. Don't think I would watch it again, because it's so wacky, but well worth one go.

New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei
Worst is that australia is traveling north, so in a few hundred years or so it will hit the mainland and all its monster critters will get lots new grounds to cover.

It's a VR game, so it might feel completely different ingame. Still doesn't make me want to play it, though. Personally I would like something more normal for once. The reason why I like the Dan Abnett books is because they feel more grounded and show civilian life, etc. Can't they do something like this in a game for once instead of all this tryhard grim stuff?

Huh, that felt pretty fast. Didn't expect it until much later in 2021.

New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei
It's pretty big news, even though we still have to take it with a grain of salt. Will probably spawn a bunch of new Venus missions, which is also cool.

I started watching Chernobyl. I'm at episode 2 now and man, it's like a horror movie.

It'll be just more stupid lens flares and dumb plot twists.

Wait, they are working on yet another Star Trek show that will turn out to be garbage?

Finished my second go of the Witcher. The best part of it is probably the music. Very fitting and well done. Also I don't mind the casting of Triss anymore. Guess folks back then were just in shock because game Triss looks extremely different and gamers don't like this.. Damn, I want season 2 now.

Alpha Protocol is the reason why I stopped reading any game reviews. Funny how the game was completely trashed by the american media, while the european media praised it. Sure it had its flaws and lots of issues, but it was still a fun game. Played through it 7+ times back in the release days, because you could do so many things differently and the ending completely changes. /Edit: And it made me furious when one year later, the same people who excessively trashed the game, suddenly came around and posted articles like "hey.. actually this game isn't so bad after all" ... F* these people, really.

Kinda hate how they only released the first 3 episodes, otherwise I probably would have tried to binge through it this weekend. S2e1 was indeed kinda...... long... but then it got better again, imo. Biggest issue was that it felt like there is no progress happening. They are in this constant limbo and the story just hovers around in there. Truth told, this doesn't feel like a tv show that should go on for potential 10 seasons. They should probably wrap it up somewhat soonish.

This is exactly my problem with the X games. The beginning takes just too long.

I started rewatching Netflix's the Witcher, because why not. I'm noticing lots of tiny details now everywhere, which is pretty cool. But I also realize once again that if I wouldn't have read the books plenty times, it would have been impossible to follow all the timeline jumps. There is so much jumping around, but visually everything looks the same... Sometimes they drop names and stuff to give you a hook for where you are in time, but if you are unfamiliar with the story, it'll mean nothing or you will likely just miss it completely. Also, again, the show feels too fast at times. It's like ... you can't miss a beat and have to run through everything. Meh.

All in all it was still a pretty good show, especially at the time back then. Rewatched it a couple times even. Only thing that still annoys the hell out of me are the awful cliff hangers in every episode. Now you can just binge everything and it doesn't hurt so much anymore, but back then you had to wait a full week for the next episode and that completely ripped me out of it every single time ....
