#OTD 168 years ago, Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) was born 🤩 One of the central figures in modern linguistics, he was an Indo-Europeanist, the author of the so-called Laryngeal Theory, and an influential semiotician and a founding figure of linguistic structuralism.

Ja, also, volle Empfehlung. Spielt The Berlin Apartment auf Deutsch. Die Dialekte und Akzente machen so viel damit. Hört über die etwas arg gekünstelte Kinderstimme am Anfang weg, ihr werdet die Figur trotzdem lieb gewinnen.
Das wird ein später Favorit dieses Jahr für mich.

Habe heute die ersten beiden Kapitel von The Berlin Apartment (auf Deutsch!) gespielt und die haben mich beide ehrlich berührt, die Synchro ist nicht geil aber oft genug krass on point, die Geschichten gefühlvoll, ich glaube @bluebackpack.bsky.social hat da einen Geheimtipp an der Hand.

Die @bpb.de hat sich von X verabschiedet und wird deswegen massiv von rechts kritisiert. Ich denke, da sollte man mal reinfolgen.

Seeing the competitive Commander world entirely organised by volunteers, with open source rule addendums and proxy rulings to make a better format than Wizards provides was absolutely fascinating. Also, apparently the cEDH community in Portugal and Lisbon especially is huge?

Sustainable game development is no mere PR issue. Increasingly, the public recognises the need for one of the biggest, fastest growing sectors to become greener. We took a look at studies by the German Environment Agency and the Strategies Horizon network.

100% Completion in Silksong. Now all that's left is the actual final boss.
...Which is of course a recycled experience. At least that means it won't cost me more than another hour, probably.
