  • I mean, Italy is being ruled by a far-right government right now, and e.g. the unemployed are in a really shitty situation in Italy right now AFAIK. Meloni’s government seems more moderate than Germany’s or Poland’s far right, but that’s kind of a gamble between the far right government you have versus the far right government that you might get in a couple of years.

    As a German, it’s my impression that Austria is more socially conservative than Germany, though it might be different if you compare specific cities and specific laws that are relevant to you. AFAIK, their far right is less extreme than Germany’s or Poland’s, though.

    Austria and Germany are probably good on English education, though, their general English level is pretty high compared to any of the romance countries, just by merit of having an easier starting point.







  • I know people who could block ads if they really wanted to, they aren’t that tech illiterate. They somehow just don’t see the issue, or have some excuse for why they need to use the ad-infested app over Firefox+uBlock.

    I really don’t get it, internet ads are so obnoxious these days and often outright malware or scams, even on relatively reputable sites. Huge accessibility issue, too, the less able you get (e.g. because old age) the more disorienting and dangerous ads get.


  • The payouts are ludicrously low. It’s only slightly better than Spotify at this point.

    Also, the ads suck so much, it’s just not worth it. If you want to support creators, donate them a dollar/euro etc. (if you have the means, one dollar can be a lot when you’re struggling), that’s probably a hundred times as much as they would have earned even from a dedicated viewer through ads.

    Lots of “gifted” children are essentially left alone with their problems and often didn’t get the education they needed, e.g. to learn how to actually put effort into learning. Someone with more willpower or something might have pulled through, but children generally need parenting and education to learn that kind of thing and chances are pretty good that their parents, schools etc. just failed those children.

    IDK your exact story, but I think this idea that it’s entirely their own fault if they don’t succeed seems like the exact kind of mental pitfall that “burned-out gifted kids” would fall into.

    Conversely, injuries often happen because the athletes don’t do things that are known to mitigate injuries, such as specific strength and mobility exercises, or are just pushing themselves too hard; though I assume that the education of young athletes in that area is usually lacking, too.




  • Das habe ich letztens auch gespielt! Wirklich gutes Spiel, ich hatte das vor Jahren schon mal als Let’s Play gesehen und das ist mittlerweile lange genug her, dass ich mir das nochmal persönlich zu Gemüte führen konnte (+ guter Rabatt). Unbedingt die 100% haben zu wollen kann ich mir bei den wenigsten Spielen vorstellen, ich sammle wirklich gerne Achievements, aber die letzten Paar sind in der Regel nur noch pure Arbeit, das hat nichts mehr mit Spielspaß zu tun. Ich glaube, bei Dredge nutzt sich das Spielprinzip ohnehin irgendwann ab. Vor ein paar Tagen waren auch die Addons nochmal im Sale, ich habe mich aber dagegen entschieden sie zu kaufen, weil ich eben denke, dass das Hauptspiel gerade lang genug ist. Was die Herausforderungen betrifft finde ich es auch immer sehr nervig, dass Steam immer alle Addons mitzählt, auch wenn man sie gar nicht besitzt - wenn man keine Addons kauft, ist es in der Regel unmöglich offiziell auf 100% zu kommen.
