• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does renouncing citizenship work?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m working on some outdated memories, but IIRC: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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 :).

  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!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 09-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  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’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 :).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In Austria, some things like ground beef are ordered in decagrams. My wife used to get confused responses when she tried that in Germany :).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A good suggestion, and I’ve heard a lot about it over the past week :). I haven’t played Baldur’s Gate since the first one, and I was a bit too young for itr back then. Just bought it and it’s downloadin now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  XCOM is a great idea. I played it years ago, but never made it to the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, there’s some nostalgia.

  I’ve done Monkey Island already, and enjoyed the new one too. I haven’t played Myst sine I was 8 and my uncle had it on his computer and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I…do not know what to think

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow! That sounds rough.

  I have a nice full arm cast from my elbow to my wrist (Oberarmschiene). I just learned that I will have it removed next week already, because they don’t want to immobilize it for too long, but I was told it will hurt a lot after it’s removed, so we’ll see how that goes…

  My thumb is indeed mobile, but my wrist is locked in place, so it is indeed quite uncomfortable to grip a mouse.
