  Apart from the well-aged "Asbestos and rubber factory Hamburg", this is the first time I've seen both a proper umlaut ("ä" in "erhältlich") and the workaround writing style ("Ue" in "Ueberall/Überall"). Was that something done intentional? Did they only have the lower-case umlaut for those new fancy sans serif typefaces? #typography

  Ochnö, gibt nun eine Slop-Alternative zu Avespfade für #dasschwarzeauge . Das Fandom ist hier schon arg unkritisch.

  Trying this "One Album A Day" thing. Automatic sugggestion started out with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Myh.

• Post #3726550

  This One Album a Day thing isn't doing well for me. We started with Lynyrd Skynyrd and now went down further south, quality-wise, with Oasis' debut record. To be fair, this hasn't reached that level of cultural osmosis for me, so I actually do think I'm listening to this the first time. But novelty won't save me from the vocal disaster that is [I forgot which one] Gallagher.

  Wenn ich das richtig verstehe hat man korrekterweise mal erkannt dass es zu wenig Psychotherapeut:innen gibt die gesetzlich versorgen. Und dass die Tatsache dass jede:r hier einen "Kassensitz" für zigzehntausend Ommen kaufen muss, wenn überhaupt einer vorhanden ist (in Städten selten). Nach einer Ausbildung die schon zigzehntausend Ommen kostete – also für den Abschnitt den ein Arzt schon bezahlt bekommt. Also hat man eine "salomonische" Lösung erfunden und es gibt halbe Kas...

  So, Germany needs a boost for its industry, and the USA is going all weirdly 19th century, health-wise. Americans, have you considered buying a Flachspüler?

  I really should prune my personal software according to a few totally arbitrary parameters, e.g.: Nothing by a big evil corporationNothing that prominently features slop-shovelersNothing from game dev circles

  Maybe I should jump on the bandwagon and write a Hopecrystalsolarpoppunk system/setting/adventure.

  Are regular people still doing that "I'm the mayor of my local pub/supermarket/bubbletea place"?

  I don't want to poly-bash you, dear Cookie Popup, but 228 partners just is too much.

  Did anyone ever hack Microsoft Encarta to include updated and/or incorrect information?

  Anyone ever played or even seen the "Mortal Combat" (sic) #ttrpg that was advertised in early White Dwarf issues?

  "gamedev GUI" seems to be a special case of "programmer GUI"…

  anyone knows of a good image gallery site that just displays fediverse tags?

  Reading an old DTP book, and they touted the Windows 3.x macro recorder as one of the primary items why you would pick that version. I completely forgot that existed. IIRC, Microsoft has nothing like that included with modern versions. I mean, Autohotkey etc. are more powerful, but the same can be said about screenshot tools or text editors, and Windows is still including vestigial versions of those.

  Boy, it's grim if even a review site frequented by some of the worst of the OSR is taking a dump on your adventure.

  Hallo #pnpde Leute. Kennt jemand von euch "Mächte, Mythen, Moddermonster"? Ich hatte vor Urzeiten mal davon gehört, aber nie gesehen/gespielt. Gibts anscheinend vom Autor auf https://moddermonster.jimdofree.com/downloads/ (war Jimdo nicht Alman Geocities?) zum Download jetzt. (Ich kenn irgendwie die Hälfte der Bilder aus Abenteuer in Magira…)

  Just read an old German #ttrpg (a bit D&D ish, of course), where you age 1d4 years after each adventure. Well…

  I need the visual art equivalent of the music theorists going "well, starting with a Csus7add9sub4dim∑ leaves you waiting for a revolution". Just to explain why e.g. default AI art styles just looks squicky, or some human ones that seem like any other full color art looks a bit child-like. I'd be afraid that the result would involve quite a bit of phrenology or people claiming the Golden Ratio is actually a thing…

  Eh, I shouldn't have checked whether some RPG author is still a shitbag, I only got confirmaton and learned about some new recent shitbag narratives while doing that… (For the record, I didn't even know that Christopher Nolan was doing a new Odyssey movie)

  Huh, first time I heard about the T602 word processor, which kinda looks like a Czech/Slovak WordStar. Anyone from that area have any experience with that? #DOS #retrocomputing #T602
