Nach Sachsen-Anhalt merkt man selbst hier im Bezirksparlament, wie siegessicher sich die AfD ist, dass die Brandmauer fällt. Es ist wirklich erbärmlich und traurig, wie die Faschisten unsere Demokratie entkernen.

Heute im Bezirksparlament Hamburg-Nord: Linken-Lokalpolitikerin: "Liebe Vertreter*innen der demokratischen Fraktionen." AfD-Fraktionsvorsitzender ruft rein: "Die werden aber immer weniger." Linken-Lokalpolitikerin: "An mir liegt das nicht." Stille. Dann gehts weiter.

I'm typing away on my keyboard, as an older women enters the #Volt office (where I work) and says: "I'm here to learn about Volt — we need to do something about those facist tech companies." I was touched! This is why I'm doing my work! Laying the groundwork to show that we still can push back.

Natürlich können wir nicht mit denen in einen Preiskampf gehen. Aber was wir können: Ein wirklich tolles Storytelling-Spiel machen. Mit einer Vision und Herzblut, die bei Megacorp nie realisiert werden hätte können.

Mich freut es wirklich sehr, dass Benjamin hier nochmal auf unsern Status als Indie eingeht und was das bedeutet. Viel zu oft wird man als Indie mit Spielen von Asmodee verglichen, die in einer Auflage von 300.000 Stück in China gedruckt wurden.

Der "Witz", dass in Berlin jetzt "erstmal wieder Juden enteignet werden" und die Kunstpause nach "spekulieren" machen nur Sinn, wenn man davon ausgeht, dass Juden überdurchschnittlich viel Geld haben & spekulieren. Das sind klassische antisemitische Motive. #Antisemitismus

In a world like this, I don't think its unreasonable to expect a scenario like this: BGG is bought by Asmodee. And then suddenly all of the front page becomes their games and 90% of blog posts that get featured are now ads for their games. Things can change sooo quickly.

I am the admin of multiple former thriving boardgame communities on Facebook, before the platform stopped showing people posts. I had 5 times the follower on Twitter, before it was bought by a facist. And if I want to post on Instagram now, I need to film a video as that's the only thing they show.

Dominik Schönleben @nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
It feels comical to me not to think about independance from any platform at this point. (This is not a stab or criticism at BGG.) Consiodering how basically all platforms get bought out or otherwise enshitificate themselves at some point. You need your own place to build your own community.

No. However, you might not always like your Allies methods or their exact vision of the future.

Dominik Schönleben @nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
As this is a storytelling game it is more focused on the impact these connections have on a narrative level. And how the story develops differently based on who you ally with.

The warning is kind of lost in the glory and fancy visuals in much of modern cyberpunk media. We have forgotten that it's a warning. Also I could not have said it better: You can't solo the revolution. 🌱

In cyberpunk the people have given up. They have arranged themselves with dystopia and are looking out for themselves. But in solarpunk you belief that a better future is possible. And you look outward, how you can built a community and support others.

Dominik Schönleben @nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
The people have the power, if they just come together to wield it. It's a game about the belief that resisting the dystopia is possible – if regular people stand together. You can't safe the future alone, which is represented in the game by the "Get Support" action and you collecting Follower.

Dominik Schönleben @nerdmeetsyou.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Thanks! It was a real adventure. 🥰 Our game is exactly about this tension. About the aspiration for a better solarpunk future – that can materialize from unsuspecting places and peole. And the ever advancing and sometimes inevitable seeming threat of the cyberpunk dystopia.

A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game. Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language. I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.

Dass einige durchgeknallte Unternehmer die Faschisten ins Amt hieven wollen, überrascht nicht sonderlich. Die Rolle der Boulevardpresse - auch nicht. Aber dass die öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien so eifrig mithelfen, überrascht mich. Hätte ich vor zehn Jahren nicht gedacht.

It's crazy. Companies spent years spending huge amounts of money to market their products as the best in the business with ads that were perfectly crafted. Now they are like: 30% at 1% of the cost is good enough, let's ship it. I'm sure some companies will have a big wake up call in a few years.

My personal theory: Everyone who evangelizes AI because it's doing their job now has already checked out of their job long ago and don't actually like doing their work. That's also why on average more boomers are AI boosters.
