German it magazine iX has an interview with the mods of r/de. I don’t know if this was mentioned here before…
Short summary: the mods of the large German communities see a huge issue with reddit not recognizing content creators and mods work and there seems to be growing support for an ongoing blackout or so they say.
Hi, I’m Nicktar, end-40s software architect and creator of unfinished projects. I love to find out how stuff works and if I can make it better or different or repair it but once I figured out how to do that and and know that I could do this, I lose interest and it becomes work… So my place is filled with (partially) working prototypes like cat toys, hydroponic flowerpots, broken tablets halfway turned into interactive picture frames, disassembled cordless screwdrives that need a new battery… Also climate activist, table top roleplayer and currently quite busy playing around with Stable Diffusion
An open minded crowd that creates an “us” without the band even beeing on stage yet and a band that knows how to and is willing to tap into that feeling and just kind of joins the crowd. As opposed to a crowd that separates into small groups where everyone eyes the others to find out who’s the best or most hardcore fans or a band that’s tired because it’s the end of a long tour and would rather chill at home than play that gig.
Since it doesn’t seemed to be mentioned by anyone (or I missed it), I’m going to say Robo-Rally… Programming your robot through a racetrack on a moving factory floor using drawn command cards, bumping into others, knocking the off course and ending in a totally wrong spot yourself because you miscalculated a step…
I’m currently running a campaign in D&D5e and am playing in two others, there’s a Scion campaign that I play in and yesterday a short campaign for Vampire the Masquerade had it’s kick off. Additionally I’m currently planning a few shot for TORG Eternity that I’m going to run during summer break with the Scion group.
I was at a small roleplaying convention last week. It was great to meet the others again after about a year and game with them. Unfortunately someone was rather generous with their flu viruses and I got my personal helping. So I’m on sick leave for the second say but luckily, according to the test it’s just a flu and not the big bad C. On Monday I clobbered together a small template for my sister to build fake computer screens as props for TV shows… All in all a mixed bag of some good stuff and some annoying things…
