I never actually knew who Oskar Schindler was. I knew he was a notable person in the 3rd Reich.
Naturally, I assumed the worst.
Turns out, he saved 1200 jews by manipulating nazis.
German history classes rightfully center on the horrors, but people like Schindler should be taught about, too.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

ADHD brains + internet access is a powerful combination
"Oh, what was that song that that TV channel used in a sizzle real for that weeks program 20 years ago that I really liked? Something Something rock & roll queen?"
It's fun to have access to that stuff nowadays.

Oh, easy! Monster Jaunt! Mostly solo-developed minigame boardgame partygame. It is insanely charming, has a minigame where you assemble burgers that score points depending on how eco-friendly they are, and you cannot ruin friendships by playing it. I love Monster Jaunt.

Forgot to share this here.
I unboxed the Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Collector's Edition by Limited Run. What a mouthful.
I'm actually kinda proud of some of the terrible jokes I came up with on the fly.

Since I'm not going/allowed back to the US until orange Hitler is dead anyway, I can say that if I met the guy, I'd spit on his shoes at the very least.

Through the combined powers of high school French and subtitles, I can confirm the French version is a banger.
I don't like when people claim puns were not intended, but I swear it wasn't.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay to all!

I edited for an AI translated game with cute anthropomorphic animals.
The sentence "The kids loved playing with his tail." was translated word for word into German. "Schwanz" (tail) also means penis.
Get a human translator before disaster strikes.

Happy #InternationalTranslationDay! 🪶

To every translator fighting for credits, legitimacy or against AI right now: remember 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁.

Caring for the words of others while making sure everyone can enjoy & understand them fully is art, and it's beautiful.
Your craft is beautiful 🤍

I sincerely doubt that's either of them. Nice try, though.

Reading this, I had to think about this ancient (and iconic) skit by Dieter Hallervorden. Not gonna spoil why, but I promise, it'll make sense after a minute.

I found this one posted without credit and fell down the @falseknees.bsky.social rabbit hole. Turns out I like these comics a lot.

A bird sitting in the forest says, "What a beautiful place," and, upon seeing a yellow leaf fall, continues, "Screw this. I'm going to Mexico".

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

So I am typing on Google Docs for a trivia night I'm running, and I swear to glob an AI assistant pops up recommending what emojis to use.
And it told me a dozen synonyms for "you", none of which were synonyms for "you".
It's getting a little silly, is my point.

It is absolutely hysterical to me that after playing Lords of the Fallen for an hour 8 years ago, its overwhelming genericness was instantly recognizable to me from the first image on guessthe.game.
For comparison, it took me 2 images to recognize Beyond Good & Evil, a game in my Top 10 of all time.

Since being shown it by a friend in Spain over 10 years ago, I have spent more time laughing about this image than I have playing The Witcher.

A crude drawing of The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia on his horse. The text reads: The Brujer 3 Gerardo de Revilla y su Caballo Maravilla
