It's pronounced "böf". But you do need to know how to pronounce German Umlauts correctly. 😁

Keiner *den du kennst*. Ich liebe das Ding tatsächlich heiß und innig und bin jetzt doppelt traurig, weil die Drecks-AfD sich in meine Bestürzung mischt. Btw, von wegen "kann man selbst besser" etc etc: Nein. Wegen "besser" geht man nicht zu McD's.

So, hab noch mal bisschen gegoogelt: www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Cukeman Offenbar ist die deutsche Fassung nicht allein mit diesen Texten. Aber keine Spur von der japanischen Version.

Cukeman

Cukemen are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.

Mir zumindest nicht; ich konnte mit Nintendo außerhalb von frühem Gameboy-Kram nie so richtig warm werden und bin ziemlich schnell zur PC-Zockerin geworden – und beruflich hatte ich Zelda auch nie auf dem Schreibtisch. ^^

In diesem Fall ist es eben "rätselhaft", weil es Referenzen aus den frühen 90ern sind. Damals war man evtl. zu jung, heute sind es auch wieder viele Spieler. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

…besser nicht 1:1 übersetzt werden sollte. Gerade in japanischen Originalen findet sich ziemlich viel … sagen wir mal kulturell befremdliches Zeug, das dann oft in irgendwelche Nischen-Popkulturreferenzen umgewandelt wird. Auch wenn man die EN-Version als Quelle hat also oft nicht übertragbar.

Es ist ein Zitat aus "Saft" von den Fantastischen Vier. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWgM...) Aus Übersetzerperspektive: Sowas macht man, wenn das Original oder die englische Übersetzung, je nachdem was man als Quelle bekommt, für deutsche Spieler völlig unverständlich ist oder aus anderen Gründen…

I'm aware and not debating the use of "spade" as a slur. The gardening tool doesn't go away because Americans keep inventing slurs for each other though.

A draft edition of the Appendices to Terra Nova Illustrated is available via authorexperiences.com/terra-nova – if you want to get it early for a wholesale price, and maybe help us straighten some things out. In the US? Hang tight & watch this space! We've got a plan for you to save on shipping!

This was my dog walk treat today. I literally have panic attacks when faced with basic arithmetic, but *even I* understand the point of Algebra. Listening to this interview would have been intolerable without you. As it is, good laugh. …I bet there's algebra behind the perfect motorboating, too.

Bonus: possible political component involved here related to assaults on women on New Year's Eve 2015, most notably in Cologne. It's an incredibly multifaceted problem, somewhere between xenophobia and failed integration. I'll bet it's why they called the bot "Achmed" & gave it a cliche mustache.

I can only assume that the "impossible to understand" claim comes from some American news site, because what has actually been said is "it's unclear how this will be prosecuted because of currently incredibly byzantine legal grey areas", not "what is this witchcraft".

So he bothered to pull up German news reports, but did not read them, which would have helped him understand what exactly is being investigated – it's explained in every (German) media report I've read today. The question is re: the degree of autonomy, not "what it is" or "where it came from".

Distance measurements like this are super useful for military and government purposes, so having accurate measurements was valuable enough that no sane military/government entity would wait for a private citizen to jump in. Basically: government-funded, publicly available data.

Kubobukata @kubobukata.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

"He hired "bematists"" He probably did not! Bematists *were* professional distance measurers, with accuracy so good that some people suspect they used some form of odometer. But they'd likely already done their work and he just* had to look it up. (*still some effort, but not as much)

I never thought I'd say this, but please bring back the David Copperfield style of food blogging with the author's Bildungsroman intro. I don't want to google a recipe and see every one have the same AI structure. ("what is special about [dish]?") Come back, chatty bloggers, all is forgiven.

"AI will change the world."

A screenshot via Reddit https://redd.it/1x4lmsu of someone searching Google "what is penis in braille" and receiving an AI overview: "The penis cannot read Braille because it lacks the necessary nerve receptors. Nerve Endings: Reading Braille requires Meissner's corpuscles, which are specialized nerve endings in the fingertips and other sensitive skin areas responsible for detecting light touch and fine textures."

Owls are incredibly cool, and amazing hunters, and both very cute and majestic, and I Iove them. But if it wasn't for the oddly random association with Athena, who was responsible for all things brainy, there is *no way* owls would have become a symbol for wisdom. Corvids they're not. 😬

The printed copy of The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch does not look like a book of its time should. It looks like a crappy Victorian reprint, which should not exist. It's lazy-ass prop making. The book basically tells you what style it should be, and yet. 🫩
