Now
Random stuff I would post on Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and/or Bluesky. In English, German , or even worse: mixed.
(And for the moment: way too many post about The Bazaar.)
Today (effectively just 25 years later) I learned where this sample originated. And that David McCallum was a classically trained musician who recorded four albums in the 1960s.
Mit so einem schnöden #NextCloud #Update kann man auch schon mal die Nacht verbringen. Kein Wunder, dass das nicht mehr Leute nutzen. Man muss schon willens sein, sich durch Foren zu wühlen. Ja, es ist umsonst. Aber ich bin trotzdem froh, dass ich nur meine eigene Instanz zerschieße, äh, pflegen muss.
TIL. There is a new #browser in the works (with a new web engine): Ladybug. A first alpha release for early adopters is planned for 2026. So far, what they have done with a small team is quite impressive.

Hey. New patch. And I am back to: I hate this game!
Cause my quick clicks on stuff that worked one way now works slightly different and screws me up. I understand the need to balance things, but just tell people what is behind some of the encounters!

Uh, a rare late night perfect victory with Pygmalien. I had quite a lucky start. But as soon I got that Jambalian Drum I went into Destroyer Mode. The first time I actually used the Dragon Tooth as well.

Hmm. I am not sold on the current season in Hearthstone Battlegrounds. I don’t mind having trinkets back. But they seem highly unbalanced. Either you get an overpowered set or the run just isn’t fun. Well, this will not distract me from The Bazaar.

After some bad and mediocre runs I got my hands on two Nomi Stickers. With those two it was hard to loose. I destroyed the last opponent.
You can now find the most important information about DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025 at drupalcamp.ruhr. Especially information about the tickets and sponsor packages. You will be able to buy tickets in the next few days. The revised website will follow in the next few weeks.
I can’t believe I lost against an Infernal Greatsword?! Then again, he managed to heal for 3859 at the right time. In the end I had 2338 burn on me. I probably should not have gone with that slow Octopus.

Oh boy. Icy Uwashiwali Bird, that triggered four times, Fiery Steam Ladle, Fiery Snow Globe, Overheal Regeneration (gain 10 Regeneration when you overheal). I thought this was an overpowered Fire/Ice build. Turns out some people are even more overpowered. Well, nine wins.

Nearly done with the Primer for the next DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025 in September in Essen. Just a few tweaks and this will go online on Monday. #drupal #dcruhr25 #workinprogress

Really, I need help! I autopick Orange Julian, because I like the effect. It just never works out.

I need help. I am obsessed with Orange Julian. Even though I almost never get ten wins with him.

These days I usually go for a Fire Pyg build. Nice to see that the big guy can also win with weapons.

It feels like every time I think I got a fine Orange Julian build the game gives me freeze opponents that smack me. Yes, still nine wins. Sure. But is it so hard to let me have ten wins? This is not good for my anger management.

Ok. One last run for today. Finally got my hands on a Magnus’ Femur. That Slow Bonk works way better than expected.

That could have been a perfect victory. If fate didn’t put that One Shot Boulder in my path. I didn’t even get to use my Femur.

The next final encounter was also no walk in the park. That Shiny Narwahl was really fast. Good thing I had so much life.

All is well that ends well.
After some mediocre games with Vanessa and Mak, Dooley delivered a ten win run. Finally. I initially did not think Dooltron would be useful. But in concert with the full Bug Exodia and some DJing, he smashed the competition. I didn’t even need the Fiery Buff of Dooltron. #TheBazaar

After all those failed attempts I should just give up on Orange Julian. Nine wins is pretty decent. And yet, I am in constant rage mode, because I can’t get ten wins.

Seems I am unable to get ten wins at the moment. I really need to play something else …

Lost again with Orange Julian. Why am I so fixated on making this work? I get beaten up by too many other builds.

God, I am quite tilted right now. I just can’t get a working Orange Julian build.

Finally a decent Poppy Field build. And I still couldn’t get more than 7 wins. Bah.

The past few days I always skipped over Old Saltclaw. But the little dude is actually quite bonkers. If you can make him bigger with enough Haste items. Lifesteal, Multicast and a Cooldown of 4.1s before Haste made him nearly unstoppable. Or so I thought. Cause it was still very close in the end.

God, I hate Ice builds. I finally have a decent build and get one ice opponent after the other. What a waste of time. #thebazaar
