Musician/writer/pop culture junkie. Probably way too invested in things. May contain traces of socialism.

Die Linke sollte mal checken dass sie weder von den Funktionären der anderen Parteien noch von den paar Schreibtischtätern in deutschen Medienhäusern gewählt wird sondern von den Leuten und zwar gerade weil die sich erhoffen, dass sie was anders macht.

I did the thing (in chronological order; most influential doesn't mean absolute favorites, though they're all up there).
Queen - News Of The World
The Beatles - Revolver
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Worlds Apart
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 9
Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly
SOPHIE - Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

Here's the rough time line of my Digger experience: 30 minutes: This is pretty bad in a Spielberg's "1941" sort of way, but it could be worse 35 min: Ok, maybe this is going somewhere interesting. 40 min: Nevermind, it's actually worse now 60 min: WE'RE NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH!?!

"Well Dweller" is one of those games that doesn't do anything new, but everything it does, it does incredibly well. If you ever wanted a version of "Hollow Knight" that doesn't kick your teeth in every 10 minutes, this is the Metroidvania for you. youtu.be/Yr0aquRZvdY?...

iTunes / Apple Music is one of the poster children of enshitification. And with every update it somehow gets worse. If you ever tried to add music to it, that isn't coming from AM streaming, you know what a complete pain in the ass it is on every level. And that used to be iTunes' bread & butter.

even if it was true, which it is not, you don't get any points for nearly doing the right thing. 'how nearly brave of him. he is nearly deserving of praise.' c'mon

"biden is sooo mad at netanyahu he's going to stop funding the genocide any day now, probably" is a tactic they tried every couple of weeks while he was in office. there's no rescuing his legacy here sorry

Funny how today's cinema double feature was made up of one of the best films I have seen all year (NAZA) and one of the worst films I have seen all year (Digger).

The demo for the new Castlevania game rules. I still can't believe that Konami might actually pull off a complete comeback after how low they sank. Who would have thought 10 years ago that Capcom & Konami would be the seal of AAA quality in 2026?

RFK Jr just coming straight out and admitting that the purpose of genAI is to allow fascists to pretend that inconvenient truths aren't true. Sounds to me like a good reason to ban it at once!

I like Silent Hill Townfall a lot so far, but one thing in horror games I could do without are invulnerable stalker characters (e.g. Mr. X in RE2). Quicky they stop being scary and start just being annoying. "Would you mind FINALLY getting away from that door, so I can continue playing the game?"

für die akteure der ampel und der groko ist es psyhologisch essentiell wichtig, daran festzuhalten, in palästinensern keine menschen zu sehen, weil sie sich sonst eingestehen müssten, sich an einem genozid mitschuldig gemacht zu haben. die linke triggert sie, weil sie diesen konsens durchbricht.

Xbox' entire "plan" seems to be, that if they just throw enough developers into the volcano, MAYBE the gaming gods will bless their business (that they ran into the ground).

I wasn't sure about the whole limited time mechanic in "The Blood Of Dawnwalker", but having played a few hours now, I like it. It forces you to roll with the punches, since some things will inevitably go wrong. And the amount and interconnectivity of these consequences are really impressive.

Das Problem mit Die Linke ist, dass sie einfach nicht anders kann, als sich permanent selbst im Weg zu stehen. Jeder noch so unsinnige Köder der Medien wird geschluckt. Selbst wenn, wie beim Thema Palestina, die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung eigentlich auf ihrer Seite steht.

The biggest development in tech in the past decade has been everything enshittifying itself to the point, where it's now worse than the thing it replaced (in this case physical media, cable tv & media piracy).

In der Tagesspiegel-Elefantenrunde wird „der Antisemitismus in der Linken“ als völlig unhinterfragte und gesetzte Konstante formuliert - und die Parteivertretung beteuert als Antwort das ‚Existenzrecht’ Israels und stellt Parteiausschlüsse in Aussicht. Geht ja gut los.

I'm honestly surprised by HOW successful that new Spider-Man movie is. Sure, it's Spider-Man and that alone will print money. And yes, it's an improvement on the previous films, but I've never heard anyone saying it's anything more than pretty good. Certainly doesn't touch the Spiderverse movies.

Control Resonant sounds fascinating. Shame I'm one of the suckers who bought the physical edition, so I'll have to wait for almost another month. Oh well, more time for Trails In The Sky 2nd Chapter... and Blood Of Dawnwalker... and Silent Hill Townfall... ...I'll never get around to Fire Emblem.

The whole Ed Sheeran situation really shows the disconnect between the influence of Israel supporters and how few of them actually still exist. They can get people fired, but the wider public, including artists with a spine, will not buy their bs anymore.

Everytime in the next few years, when Playstation announces a new game, these games will have to clear the barrier of "they canceled Physint, but continued to make this". Way to set your future games up for a tough start, Sony.

I was actually curious about Wolverine, since I really like (most of) Insomniac's Spider-Man games, but from everything that I've seen in reviews, this game looks like the amalgamation of everything I don't like in recent Playstation games.

It's bewildering to see Sony & Microsoft spending the waning years of their console business, before a $1000 price tag and a stubborn insistence on bloated AAA- & live service projects will kill both of them, kicking themselves in the nuts over and over.

You can feel the cut corners and the engine chugging in "Star Wars: Zero Company", but there is so much effort put into this game, that I don't even care. Love trumps roughness every time.

Heute regen sich die "Verteidiger der Demokratie" über den AfD Wahlsieg auf, Morgen hetzen sie dann wieder gegen Migranten & Aktivisten, verschachern den Sozialstaat zugunsten von Superreichen und bauen die deutsche Wirtschaft zur Waffenfabrik um, deren Produkte sie an Völkermörder verkaufen.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

I wished "moderate" US-Democrats and the corporate media were fighting against Donald Trump with at least a fraction of the vigor, that they have against Hasan Piker and the DSA. But then again, I guess this really shows who their real enemies are.
