I’m working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:
Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn’t, your German citizenship would be revoked.
The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame
I finished Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. For me, it hit this sweet spot of “Remember where everything is and grind the same thing over and over” without getting boring.
TIL. Thank you!
I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I’ve been enjoying it. I’ve always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.
I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn’t spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I’m glad I played it, but I’m not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.
That is a crazy process. But I’m happy that you were somehow able to get a new passport :).
Have you watched the show? The game is not for me, horrorness being a part of the reason, but the show was very well done.
This immediately made me think of Scythe, and sure enough, he did the art. Fantastic.
Depending on the complexity, there’s also abbrev-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Abbrevs.html
I do like a lot of meat alternatives, but I was at a restaurant a while back where they had a non-Beyond Meat veggie burger. And it was super good! I feel like it’s becoming a lost art, though :(.
My dad is the opposite: he wants every restaurant to only offer Beyond Meat burgers. He loves them.
Have you ever read the book Elantris? It sounds very not fun.
There’s a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it’s not published anywhere yet: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
I immediately thought of House of Leaves. Do not read it as an ebook, if there even is an ebook version. It must be read as a physical book.
I wish this was exaggerated, but it isn’t at all. Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: “You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!”
For what it’s worth, you can replace xi with just s or c
I started off this year with Go, and after the first three days, I was so happy to switch to Rust for today. It’s one of my absolute favorite programming languages, but I never use it at work, so it’s one of my joys of Advent of Code.
I’m still playing BG3: I’ve just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I’m finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I’m also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we’ll see how that comes along.
I never really thought of it as science fiction (see her MaddAdam series for something more SF-y), but I love the book and think it does a great job of extrapolating from various political trends into where parts of the “western world” could end up going.
I’m also not surprised it’s a candidate for being banned, either from people who think it paints religion or conservativsm in a negative light, or people who think it might make anyone under 18 uncomfortable. Is it appropriate for 5 year olds? Probably not. 16 year olds? Seems reasonable to me.
I’m still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I’m around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).
Last I checked, it was out of print, so I bought Unfathomable instead (reimplementation in the Lovecraft universe). Still good, but missing pilots, so not as good :).
