Now

Like cutting through butter. I rarely use the Railgun or the Atomic Clock. But a Shiny Railgun and a Turbo Atomic Clock with six Ammo just blasted through the competition. (I just shouldn’t have picked a fight with Lord Arken. I couldn’t handle his Vitality Potion.)

Uh, another wild mix. I threw away a nice Toxic Grenade + Powder Flask + Silencer + Orange Julian + Crow's Nest combo. Just because I got an Obsidian Tortuga. This worked fine with Bill Dozer and Electric Eels. Even though I had no healing. Can’t believe this ended in a perfect win.

Ok, Windmill, I see your value now. In this run I ended with a wild Windwill, Apropos Chapeau, Draconic Rage, Restorative Yo-Yo mix. Pretty OP. But that Obsidian Powder Keg nearly finished me in the last encounter. Good thing I had enough health. That one was fun.

Holy crap. Another oppressive build. Toxic Katana with 1.6s Cooldown, a Turbo Silencer that adds a 2s Haste for every stab with the Katana. Pendulum that charges for 2s. And the ability Venomous Blade: The first 8 times you use a Weapon each fight, Charge 1 Poison item 1 second(s). This adds up to one of the fastest builds I’ve ever had. With 300 Poison on the enemy before you even know what has happened.

And I just realised this game needs an option to download a video of complete fights.

One of the most oppressive builds I’ve ever had. Obsidian Jabalian Drum – what a combination. I didn’t even need the Skyscraper.

It was a gamble to put in the Octopus in the last encounter. Or so I thought. Cause that animal works so well with Yo-Yo and Knife Set.

Uh, it’s one of those rare perfect victories, at least for me. Then again, an Obsidian Matchbox as starting item, with Jabalian Drums, and later the Obsidian Caltrops, was hardly any competition. Felt rather unfair on my part.

Shielded Catfish for the perfect win. I think this is the first time those Diamond Fangs did something for me (Your Small Diamond-tier items have their Cooldowns reduced by 30%).

Tzz. Here I have Restorative Volcanic Vents, with Haste and Charge support, plus  Draconic Rage (When you use a Medium item, one of your Burn items gains +10 Burn for the fight), a lifestealing Toxic Sharkray on top. And it was still close. A few encounters with too much Slow/Freeze nearly prevented my ten wins.

Vor Jahren habe ich mein Konto bei #LinkedIn gelöscht, weil ich genervt war. Neulich habe mich vorsichtig wieder angemeldet. Um mal zu schauen. Ich war nach 2min direkt wieder hart genervt. Nun nun kommt eine E-Mail mit »Nicolai, folgen Sie Friedrich Merz, Bundeskanzler bei Bundeskanzleramt«. #aargh

It has been some time since I had my last ten-win-run in The Bazaar. In this case I didn’t have to put too much effort in. I got an Restorative Catfish as start item. Together with a Shadowed Cloak this little fish was hard to beat.

The new season of Hearthstone Battlegrounds hasn’t clicked for me yet. It seems to rely too much on luck and getting the right trinkets. But here I finally got something decent. Plenty of Tarecgosa courtesy of trinket one. With trinket two being: Give each of your minions Health equal to its attack. Got me an easy first place in the end.

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!

I am currently testing the browser Polypane (again). I was surprised when I noticed some other browsers I had never testet (or even heard of). Arc (though I hear that one is dead already), Zen, Sizzy, Dia (somewhere down the road). Anything else?

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.

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
