Still rampaging through some optional content in Pharloom. For my taste / skill, the First Sinner is around 15% too fast to be fun. And I hate it when I have to chase the boss around. Ok, done, next. #Silksong

It took some time. But just two years later than intended, here are the necessary files if you want to print one of the DrupalCamp Ruhr T-shirts from 2018, 2023, or 2025 for yourself. #drupal #dcruhr25

Year after year, I wrestled with the question of whether I really needed the Creative Cloud. Sometimes I take a little longer than other people. But now I’m finally free! Bye #Adobe!
Hello #Affinity Suite! (Well, at least till October 30th, when we’ll see if #Serif will ruin their product as well.)

Just when I was about to find Act II in #Silksong way better than Act I (I really liked the Cogwork Dancers), here comes Mount Fay where you need the trashy, unreliable Clawline mechanic. And I am back to: Wow, who playtested this shit?! #MountFrust

Hmm. It took me around 43 hours to reach Act II in #Silksong. HowLongToBeat puts the complete main game at 27 hours. Don’t those people explore the map? I spend, e.g., over 10 hours hunting for certain abilities (I can’t actually get in Act I). Tzz.

Wow. Another shop with even more expensive items. If I want them I can now farm, again, another 1.150 rosaries, another 30min or so gone, again. This. Is. So. Much. Fun! #Silksong

TIL: William Moulton Marston, who created Wonder Woman and her Lasso of Truth (with artist Harry G. Peter) in 1941, had also contributed to the development of the polygraph (lie detector) in the years before.

I’ve put the Nerd Quiz from #dcruhr25 online. 50 questions about pop culture, #Drupal & Web stuff, and some trivia. With a few annotations.
This needed to work only on my laptop. So this is not responsive, not optimized, ~50MB. Just zoom in/out. Navigate with arrow keys.

Das war nun das siebte DrupalCamp in Essen seit 2010; das Fünfte, das ich mitorganisiert habe. Recht beharrlich für so ein Special-Interest-Camp.

13h in and I am calling it: #Silksong is one of the most unfun, most annoying games I have ever played! It is beautiful & has lots of good parts. But the annoying stuff overshadows everything else. I will play a bit longer, just to see if I stumble upon the area where they have hidden the fun. #meh

#Silksong: The Bird Wave Challenge in Greymoor is the most unfun shit I have played all year. Those erratic movements are killing me. I already wasted more time on this than on all the bosses that came before. #AllRageNoFun

Seven hours in and #Silksong is more annoying than fun. Everything is way too expensive. Getting hit while healing is such a bad experience. Fetch 25 items quests are lame. And that fucking birds …
Still a good game, but boy, Hollow Knight felt much better.

I am actually looking forward to present my super fancy frontend solution to a backend problem.
With so many Best Practices floating around at DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025, we decided to counter those with some light-hearted »Bad Practices«. Don’t try this at home! #dcruhr25 #drupal

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little add-on for this theme called »Tonic« (but it seems that project name is already taken).
Big news for Drupal core: Gin will become the new default admin theme, replacing Claro. With work underway to bring Gin into core by Drupal 11.3, we’re excited about the improvements this will bring to the admin experience.

Silksong will kick off the weekend for me at 4 p.m. And I am one of those who would have easily paid 30, maybe 40 Euro for the game. #justtakemymoney

Muahahaha. Ich habe im Januar 2022 meinen Schreibtisch zusammengebaut. Bis auf ein optionales Element. Das habe ich nun nachgeholt. 5 Minuten Arbeit, es anzubringen. Plus die zwei Stunden, die ich gebraucht habe, um die Schrauben wiederzufinden. #WasDuHeuteKannstBesorgen
