Google has destroyed their own ads revenue by adding more and more ads. Imagine they’d have stopped with simple side banner and people would’ve not even bothered to use an adblocker because of it. This tiny little banner would’ve been worth as much as the multiple seconds ads now. The companies would pay as much, as there’d be no alternate.

Ich versuche mir gerade vorzustellen wie die Unterhaltung lief, bei der du eine Netzstrumpfhose verschenkt hast. “Mama, die ist eigentlich für dich. Bitte sehr.”

For some games it improves the feeling of speed. A racing game feels faster with it enabled.

Lüge, das hast du dir ausgedacht oder du meinst eine Modelleisenbahnen auf einer Deutschlandkarte.

I unintentionally did this once. I still feel bad about it 7 years later. But hey, I won.

Politician hardly talk to the crowd with direct words, because it requires a level of nationalism and populism to still be convincing. A lot of solutions aren’t nice to the common folks. Take taxes for instance, most don’t like paying them. And if there are hard times and there’s just one person who promises you a better life, it’s compelling to follow. Hitler had a certain way of talking that made you feel emotions, in a time of desperation. And he promised solutions by declaring enemies.

Not to start with US politics here, but you can certainly look at how Trump talks and you see the same playbook. The same similarities. The same way of seeking for an enemy and also the false promises. Others talk like him too, but this is so recent.

I fully agree. So much sadness, seeing the uninformed, doing the same mistakes we warn for every day. It’s depressing, because even if you try to look at the brighter side and at the larger part of people who are kind and anti fascism. To know that group dynamics could destroy all of this in a year. Humans are capable of the worst, even when they believe in acting in good faith. Truth is, we humans are too easily manipulated and fear of isolation when standing up to the crowd makes people cowards. What is “good” is sadly just a matter of perspective and not even a question about quantity. When times get dire, the people will follow the easy solution.

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they’d die.

Golden Sun is love, so much so, that there’s hardly a week when I don’t stumble upon that name.

Ich liebe diesen Kommentar. Haha

Erschreckend? Würde bedeuten irgendwer war überrascht. Enttäuscht passt auch nicht, dafür müssten irgendwelche Erwartungen untertroffen worden sein. “Wie erwartet” passt ganz gut.

Urban Rivals. No one is talking about that game anymore. It used to be an amazing browser game. By now it’s even on steam, but apparently they cut a lot of the animations so the crowd isn’t happy about it. The card artworks are cool and the gameplay (was) fun. I don’t know if it’s still the same, as live games tend to change game mechanics.

Every other game I play('d) is mentioned at least sometimes (once a week).

Even stuff like Gothic, Golden Sun, Ragnarok Online.

Well it’s a video game, it looks great and people should check it out on Steam. I think it also launches for console. It’s very beautifully with its Ghibli art style and creatures. It won’t be action packed and be more focused on terra forming and animals and exploration.

Vor allem aber soll es darum gehen, mehr Menschen in Arbeit zu bringen.

Ich hab ganz automatisch “zu zwingen” gelesen. Hups.

Die Antwort darauf könnte einige Bürger verunsichern.

Trump macht laut eigener Aussage nur Deals wo er dabei als Gewinner heraus geht. Merz muss die Rechnung ja nicht zahlen wenn er Trump den Hof macht, sondern der Steuerzahler.

Get a piercing and remove it before coitus.
