Hallo zusammen!
Hat eine von euch¹ Erfahrung mit #Marmelade mit Grapefruit-Stückchen darin?
_____________
¹ Männer sind wie immer #mitgemeintEigentlich wollte ich rote #Orangen reinschnippeln, wegen der farblichen Note -- aber es gab keine, weshalb halt #Grapefruit Ruby mit nach Hause kam..
Hauptpersonen sind ca. 50% #Kürbis und 30% Äpfel #Elstar (ist #lecker, aber nur orangelangweiliger #Matsch) plus 2:1 #Gelierzucker. Den Restposten in der Rechnung übernimmt die #Zitrusfrucht.

CW: Some thoughts about German support for Israel
I think that the underlying reasons to support Israel to massacre Palestinians varies strongly by group.
Sure, there is the conservative/nationalist sector with a motivation to relief Germany from its burden of history and while we are at it, to declare antisemitism conveniently as an imported problem of (brown) people. (@ayoub explained this very well)
https://spore.social/@ayoub/114663775147477890
But I also know many leftist people who are *genuinely* worried about Jews (I mean, I myself am). Their idea is the following: "Israel might be imperfect but is still the only institution that reliably keeps Jews safe. And after all that historic suffering, they *deserve* to be protected. And we, as Germans, have a special responsibility. Never again".
It's just that it is difficult to understand their decision to ignore the moment this discourse helped a rightwing government to commit genocide. (and ethnostate dynamics. The conflict didn't start on October 7th...).
Also, this is a textbook example that media propaganda works. If the victims of ane side are individuallu mourned, but the 'others' are labelled as eliminated terrorists that were a menace this does something with society.
Additionally, there is also a more vanguardist group of fanatic zionist supporters (some of you know the #antideutsch, I guess). And here come into play also dynamics on the micro-level. These people built their identity around zionism and see antisemitism everywhere (it is kmportant to acknowledge that sometimes they are right, but that does not justify to support for Netanyahu). My theory is that antideutsch ideology is so attractive for some because the whole world can be separated easily into good vs bad. And they are iconoclastic, academic-intellectual (talking about Adorno and philosophists) and are absolutely always correct in their analysis.
What I didn't see in Germany as a significant position are Christian Zionists. In the US they are probably a thing, but not here.
Germany has a whole institutional apparatus of Israel-support in form of antisemitism offices in every state. Also, many of the left-leaning people conscious about antisemitism made their way into foundations (an important antifascist foundation is the Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, but they are currently so totally lost in rightwing zionism that they even negated the existence of Palestinians on Nakba day), and institutions as well as civil society working on racism (in Germany, also the civil society is highly institutionalized and there are funded jobs in many areas, which is sometimes good, but also attracts frequently privileged liberals). Also the media, especially the major left newspaper, 'taz', has a very clear zionist position (although they allow some diversity).
Please, this is not a conspiracy theory, but the intent to understand and describe processes on the sociopolitical level. Germans definitely don't need external influence to behave shitty.The good news is that, with all the evidence, the zionist consensus is starting to show fissures. The bad news is that it took so long and that I am still waiting for something meaningful to change.

Giunti a Bastia, Moris e “Coniglio” proseguirono in volo per Caserta
Il 17 ottobre ’43 Bourgoin [André Bourgoin della Sezione Italiana dell’OSS statunitense] fu anche visitato dal tenente generale Matteini del corpo ingegneri della marina italiana, il capitano Max Ponxo, uno dei leaders dell’Italian Naval Secret Services (SIS) della marina italiana, il sig. Maurizio Moris, un noto industriale e direttore generale delle compagnie “Bombrini Parodi Delfino” e “Innocenti”, i quali, arrivati a Napoli, fornirono alla missione dell’OSS informazioni militari d’interesse.
Maurizio Moris <57, in particolare, che parlava molto fluentemente italiano, francese, tedesco, spagnolo, portoghese e inglese, si offrì di ritornare immediatamente a Roma e di porsi a completa disposizione dei servizi segreti americani al fine di costruire una rete molto potente di agenti. La sua proposta fu accettata e la sua collaborazione fu, sin dall’inizio, orientata su speciali soggetti d’importanza militare.
[…] La missione di Maurizio Moris, per conto dell’OSS, mirava alla creazione di una rete di agenti nella Roma ancora occupata dai nazisti. Il 1° novembre 1943, insieme con due agenti e un radio operatore, che furono identificati nelle persone di Salvatore Piazza, Alfredo Rizza e del radio operatore, Giuseppe Auriemma, alias “Teresa”, essi attraversarono le linee nemiche nei pressi della regione di Alfedena. Il secondo giorno di viaggio, Moris e Piazza che si erano separati dai loro compagni Rizza e Auriemma, si imbatterono sciaguratamente in un campo minato tedesco. Moris restò gravemente ferito tanto che pensò che fosse in procinto di morire sul posto. Quindi mandò indietro Piazza affinché facesse rapporto a Bourgoin. Fu così prelevato dai tedeschi, trasportato in ospedale e grazie alla sua perfetta conoscenza del tedesco in grado di ricevere il necessario primo soccorso. Durante la notte, nonostante le ferite e il dolore, scappò dall’ospedale e facendo l’autostop raggiunse Roma a bordo di un carro armato tedesco. Una volta arrivato a Roma, fu curato da uno dei suoi amici e si nascose nell’appartamento di quest’ultimo. Finalmente fu sottoposto a un’operazione chirurgica durante la quale gli fu estratta dall’addome una scheggia di mina tedesca che lo aveva colpito e, infine, si rimise dopo ventidue giorni di ricovero. Mr. Moris si mise subito in contatto con la prima squadra di Roma agli ordini del tenente Menicanti e procurò loro un ingegnere esperto che riuscì a metterli in contatto con la base. Due volte il giorno venivano quindi inviate informazioni militari al Quartier Generale Alleato. Di fronte alla necessità di coordinare le azioni di tutti gli agenti che operavano nell’Italia occupata dai tedeschi, Moris e Menicanti chiesero di essere condotti sulla costa per poi recarsi a Caserta e discutere ivi le questioni di cui si stavano occupando a Roma.
Intanto, gli agenti Rizza e Auriemma, che avevano attraversato le linee nemiche il 1̊ novembre con Mr. Moris, arrivarono a Roma. Grazie al senatore Parodi, Auriemma fu impiegato sotto copertura nella compagnia “B.P.D”, mentre Rizza si mise in contatto con le autorità tedesche nella persona del tenente appartenente all’Abwehrlienst, Von Weich. Rizza fu, così, arruolato quale agente simulatore per ingannare i patrioti italiani combattenti nella regione di Faenza e, in seguito, accompagnato al fronte, dove gli furono fatte attraversare le linee verso gli Alleati sul fiume Garigliano, e dotato di un questionario sulle forze alleate. Rizza si presentò a Bourgoin, il quale ebbe forti dubbi sulla fedeltà dello stesso, tanto da essere indotto a contattare, il giorno seguente al suo arrivo, l’italiano CIC e la polizia, alle quali organizzazioni chiese di pedinare l’uomo durante la sua permanenza a Napoli. Due volte al giorno, la polizia compilava uno speciale rapporto sulle attività di questi e attraverso una donna appartenente alla stessa organizzazione, Bourgoin ottenne la prova che Rizza era più sotto il controllo tedesco che alleato e, dopo essersi consultato con il Commander in Chief dell’OSS presso la V Armata, colonnello Ellery Huntington Jr., decise di farlo arrestare dal CIC. Fu così che un’intera organizzazione di spie fu sgominata e arrestata nella stessa epoca nella regione di Napoli. Secondo la testimonianza di Bourgoin, Rizza fu, infine, trasportato negli Stati Uniti e collocato in un campo di concentramento <59.
Quando il sig. Moris fu ferito il 2 Novembre, egli ordinò a Piazza di tornare allo scopo di fare rapporto a Bourgoin ma, temendo che quest’agente potesse essere ucciso, mandò un soprintendente, tale Langella, per relazionare sulla medesima questione nonché attraversare le linee verso gli Alleati. Langella arrivò il 10 novembre e attraversò le linee nemiche a nord di Venafro con un radio operatore di nome Grandini Antonio, nome di battaglia Trieste, il 2 dicembre 1943. Nonostante le difficoltà, i due uomini arrivarono incolumi al Comando Operativo di Napoli e a Grandini fu dato un lavoro di copertura nella fattoria della “B.P.D.” quale contabile nonché un regolare passaporto tedesco per circolare in Italia.
[…] Una serie di missioni furono inviate partendo dal dicembre 1943 dalla Corsica verso l’Italia occupata dai Tedeschi. Una prima operazione via mare, denominata Richmond I, doveva essere fatta salpare da Bastia, Corsica. All’uopo, Bourgoin organizzò da Bastia un MAS italiano che doveva raggiungere la spiaggia di Fosso Tafone, tra Ansedonia e Montalto di Castro, per raccogliere i partecipanti. Salirono a bordo Maurizio Moris e Clemente Menicanti ”Coniglio”; accompagnati dall’ingegnere Prof. Calosi, esperto di bombe radiocomandate che viaggiava col fratello ufficiale di marina del Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) nonché con altri due ufficiali, sempre del SIS, capitani Cipicco e Filiani. Tutti questi uomini riuscirono a imbarcarsi incolumi, grazie all’opera del principe Boncompagni <73, noto latifondista della zona, che, essendo proprietario di un’immensa tenuta, assicurò agli agenti impegnati in questa missione un riparo, aiutandoli altresì con il suo proprio personale a organizzare la pianificata operazione speciale. Giunti a Bastia, Moris e “Coniglio” proseguirono in volo per Caserta – San Leucio, dove arrivarono lo stesso giorno, il 5 gennaio 1944. Immediatamente dopo, furono programmate e attuate altre due missioni marittime sempre da Bastia, Corsica e, attraverso le stazioni radio dell’OSS collocate a Roma, furono stabiliti segnali, tempi e comitati di accoglienza. Quale punto d’imbarco si dovette utilizzare lo stesso di cui alla precedente operazione: la lunga spiaggia alla foce del Fosso Tafone. La seconda missione, denominata Richmond II, fu affidata alla squadra composta dei seguenti agenti: Maurizio Moris; Clemente Menicanti, “Coniglio”; la signora Vera Vassallo; i signori Sergio Tavernari e Salvatore Piazza, accompagnati dal radio operatore Gorrini, alias ”Antonietta”. Nello stesso tempo, nove apparecchiature radio per tutti gli operatori radio della spedizione del menzionato sottomarino Axum nonché per Auriemma, alias “Teresa” e Grandini, alias “Trieste”, dovettero essere sbarcate sempre sulla spiaggia di Fosso Tafone. L’operazione avvenne nella notte del 17 gennaio 1944. Mr. Moris ricevette l’incarico di riportare indietro da Roma il colonnello Mario Badoglio <74, come sollecitato dal padre Pietro Badoglio all’OSS. Reutershan, che ordinò altresì che fosse accompagnato in tale missione dal sottotenente ventenne William Malcolm Callanan <76. Bourgoin tornò quindi a Caserta con Callanan il 2 gennaio 1944. Così lo stesso Bourgoin raccontava l’incontro con Badoglio: “Noi arrivammo a Brindisi il 31 dicembre e il Maresciallo [Badoglio, nda] ci chiese se fosse possibile riportargli nell’Italia liberata suo figlio il Colonnello Mario Badoglio. Rispondemmo al Maresciallo che avremmo fatto tutto il possibile per contattare suo figlio e introdurlo di nascosto da questo lato delle nostre linee. Quindi facemmo ritorno a Caserta il 2 gennaio 1944” <77. La missione Richmond II ebbe successo, ma sfortunatamente il colonnello Mario Badoglio che si nascondeva in un posto sicuro non arrivò in tempo e, quando la terza operazione, nome in codice Richmond III, iniziò, il 21 gennaio 1944, egli non era sulla spiaggia per essere imbarcato.
[NOTE]
57 Maurizio Moris, nato a Moncalieri (Torino) nel 1893, era ingegnere. Iscritto al Partito Nazionale Fascista (PNF) ma descritto quale “intimamente antifascista”. Rimpatriato nel 1936, fu nominato Direttore tecnico della società Parodi – Delfino di proprietà dell’ingegner Leopoldo Parodi Delfino, nonché dell’Innocenti & Co. Anche Moris fu presentato a Bourgoin da “Pippo” Naldi e dunque faceva parte della medesima rete di agenti vicini al SIM. P. Tompkins riporta un rapporto OSS secondo il quale “sia Parodi che Innocenti elargivano fondi per i partigiani e agenti ma i soldi non sempre giungevano a destinazione”. P. Tompkins, L’altra Resistenza cit., nt. 6, p. 395.
59 La missione Teresa fu descritta senza significative divergenze da P. Tompkins, L’altra Resistenza cit., p. 55.
73 Il Principe Boncompagni Ludovisi fu arrestato a New York la mattina successiva al disastro di Pearl Harbour in quanto sospettato di collaborare con il Fascismo e quindi condotto nel centro di detenzione a Ellis Island. Earl Brennan ha raccontato che, con la garanzia di Girolamo Valenti, fu raggiunto un accordo tra i due gentiluomini, in virtù del quale il primo sarebbe stato rilasciato e in cambio avrebbe collaborato con l’OSS, accordo che nel periodo di guerra si sarebbe rivelato assai proficuo, perché “sia la sua competenza che la collaborazione nel trasmetterci informazioni utili e tempestive si rivelò progressivamente assai soddisfacente […] le vedute del Principe cambiarono ed egli divenne un collaboratore più volenteroso e utile.” E. Brennan, O.S.S. and the Italian Contribution cit., p. 266 e 267.
74 Mario Badoglio, figlio del più noto maresciallo Pietro Badoglio, Console Generale a Tangeri, dopo il 25 luglio accorse in volo a Roma in ausilio del padre, nominato Presidente del Consiglio. Si trovava con il padre al Ministero della Guerra nella notte tra l’8 e il 9 settembre. Restò a Roma, quando il Re, Badoglio e il Governo fuggirono a Pescara, fino al giorno dopo Pasqua, intorno alla fine di aprile ’44, quando fu individuato e arrestato dalla polizia tedesca a Roma, mentre aspettava di ricongiungersi col padre e, infine, tradotto in Germania. Si cfr. P. Badoglio, L’Italia nella seconda guerra mondiale cit., p. 117.
75 Tale, circostanza fu riferita direttamente a Roosevelt in una delle missive intercorse tra i due Capi di Stato e, precisamente, in una di fine aprile ’44, nella quale Badoglio così scriveva “l’ultimo dei miei ragazzi che mi aspettava a Roma è stato seguito e arrestato due giorni fa dalla polizia tedesca”. M. Corvo, La Campagna d’Italia dei Servizi Segreti Americani in Italia cit., p. 315.
76 Il sottotenente ventenne “dalla faccia pallida”, William Malcolm Callanan, fu ufficiale d’intelligence assegnato al distaccamento dell’OSS presso la V Armata compilò un rapporto in cui evidenziò il valore e il volume delle informazioni militari trasmesse da radio “Vittoria” a Roma durante l’occupazione nazista. Si cfr. P. Tompkins, L’altra Resistenza cit., nt. 8, p. 404; Id. Una spia a Roma cit., pp. 369-370.
77 «We arrived in Brindisi on the 31st of December and the Marshal asked us whether it would be possible to bring back in liberated Italy his son, Colonel Mario Badoglio. We answered the Marshal that we would do all things possible to contact his son and smuggle him on this side of our lines. We returned to Caserta on the 2nd of January, 1944». A. Bourgoin, From 20th September 1943 to 26th January 1945 cit., p. 49.

This is what playing #DarkestDungeonII feels like:
You're in an epic battle against a boss, all party members are at death's door and every next hit could kill them but not only do they survive multiple vicious attacks from the boss, they also find their resolve, heal up themselves and inspire the rest of the party, defeating the fiend in a completely unexpected second wind. :neofox_aww:
And then they all die in the next trash mob battle they randomly ran into on the road. :neofox_drowsy:
Back to the altar we go, let's try this again. -
I was considering how the spell "Stinking Cloud", or its equivalent in my setting, is rather Aeromancy (air magic), Necromancy (death/shadow magic) or Geomancy (earth magic), because of its manipulation of air and aspect of decay or chemical transformation. It's also relevant for which character types will have access to it.
Thus I spent a lot of time pondering the nature of stinking air. :neofox_googly:

Now that D&D5 has ruined most of the classic spells that were always iconic to the game (yes, yes, IMHO, shuddup), I think it's fine to put their equivalent in my game as they were supposed to be.

#gothamknights was a fun ride in co-op. so much so, that we will return for ng+ 🎮🎮
There is still a certain starfish-shaped villain to beat up.
This is one of those games that works best when played with friends. -
This track is the best thing that ever came off this, well, game.

Here's another idea for video game design: Don't put the tank and healer party members in the late part of the game only, after the player has managed without them and skilled the entire party around this limitation.
At least put in a respec mechanic. Goddammit.

But I'm still at it, so that's saying something too. -
A little update on my #chainedechoes playthrough.
Story is getting much better. Yet the quality of the actual written word remains amateurish at best. It's the first attempt of someone writing dialogue ever and I can tell because it's getting progressively better. Still not great, but bearable (that, or my standards start to drop).
Some dialogues even left me thinking "huh, that was actually pretty good" then the next one tears that down again immediately. I have the feeling it depends at which point the piece of dialogue was written, early on or late in the project. Well, I'm glad it served as a writing exercise with visible progress but I didn't need to witness the whole process. Still, yeah, it could be worse. And the story turns out to be pretty interesting.
The game is a great showcase though to show why it is important to hire a writer for a game. Text is not something you can do as an afterthought.
The game is still f-ing gorgeous though. And the combat remains fun and challenging. If it can keep this up, I can look past it being linguistically challenged.

So, there is this game, Chained Echoes, which I backed long ago. It's been out for years now. Today was the day I finally started playing it (yes, I am unbelievable).
And already I am annoyed by grammar mistakes in the beginning dialogues and an open world that lets me walk into death traps without warning (I hate it when OW games do this, one reason why I'm wary of the genre).
And also, srsly, how can it be that a game from a german developer has better english writing than german? They're both not stellar, but I would have given more if it meant he would hire an editor. Heck, I would have done it, even free of charge if it meant I wouldn't have to grind my teeth when reading the dialogue.
Daedalic did that too in some of their games. It leaves me flabberghasted.
Buuut it is beautiful, like fr, pure eye candy, there is one character I actually like so far, the setting is kinda interesting and the combat mechanics seem enjoyable enough to keep me going. Even though the story is nothing to write home about up to this early point, it is obviously a labor of love (except for the writing). Did I mention it's beautiful? Because that it is.
Sometimes that has to be enough, I guess.
Eh, it's still early in the game. It does look like it deserves the chance to be explored further. Be it just for the pretty pixel art.

Why does this keep happening to my vehicles? :neofox_drowsy:
My vehicle summon timing sucks. If there was an achievement for this, I would get it in every game.

Well, I feared they‘d switch to some vile subscription model after the acquisition, but this is an update I can get behind.

Still, if they wanted to truly impress me, they‘d make a Linux port. Now that would be revolutionary.
But we probably get a fucking subscription model after all before that happens. :neofox_drowsy: This is also a sign of the time: Taking every positive update as the calm before the storm until the inevitable enshittifaction happens.
Here’s to hoping they remain being the exception.

Since combat started getting a bit too easy for the players I test my homebrew #ttrpg with, I'm giving opponents talents now like player characters have.
They get their own lists and I might be having a bit too much fun with those. Let's hope it doesn't explode in my ... well, actually, their, face next time. ^^
It's a change I initially didn't want to do, because I want to keep NPCs as simple as possible for the GM, but I think I found a way to keep it clear and bookkeeping to a minimum. And monsters did have abilities before, it was just more barebones than it is now. I also amped up their health, armor and damage values. That should force the party to apply some new tactics, I think.

Growl FM is now my favorite #Cyberpunk2077 radio playlist. Sorry Vexelstrom. This is the perfect soundtrack for carving a bloody path through Night City. #PhantomLiberty #LateToTheParty #IKnow
