Mein Flug hat Verspätung, weil eine Familie das Handgepäck voller Alkohol aus einem vorherigen Flug hatte und in Karen-Wut von einer Flughafenautorität zur nächsten marschiert ist. Weil war ja eingeschweißt aus dem Duty Free.
Waren natürlich Deutsche.

Several years after its launch in Japan and a rebranding, the Nintendo Store app has been released for mobile devices. Users can browse Nintendo systems, accessories, games and more on the app. However, it is not possible to make direct purchases.

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

28 hours into Silksong, almost done with Act 2, and despite great movement feel and nice atmosphere I can only describe the game overall as a pretty miserable experience for me. Since I'm really experienced in this kind of game, I can't even imagine how it must feel for people newer to the genre.

Ich kriege ja aktuell noch ALG I (GM ist zwar geil, wirft aber aktuell noch kein Einkommen ab). Und da passieren so ein paar verwalterische Seltsamkeiten, bei denen ich echt gern wissen würde, wie broken das Backend der AA so zu sein scheint.
