  3. Was für ein Spiel! 🔥
    Die Montréal Canadiens gewinnen 3:2 erst Florida in Führung, dann die Habs ausgeglichen, und in Overtime der entscheidende Treffer.
    So ein spannendes Match hatte ich lange nicht mehr, richtiges Herz-Rennen bis zum Schluss.

    🔵⚪🔴🍁 Go Habs Go!

  4. I didn't think I'd say this in 2025, but Sunday's Steelers / Jets game was a really great game.

  6. ☝️ A very thorough overview of Singapore's position in the 21st century version of the "Great Game" between the USA and democracies on one side and the PRC and its axis of authoritarians on the other.

    「Because of Singapore’s majority ethnic Chinese (Han) population, the PRC’s appeals to loyalty, or at least affinity, along ethnic and cultural lines are attractive to some segments of society. Since coming to power, Chinese President Xi Jinping has shown a renewed interest in diaspora nationalism and mobilization, as seen in everything from key policy statements to the more comprehensively subsuming of overseas Chinese affairs under the CCP’s United Front Work Department. Ethnic- and cultural-based mobilization revolves around the idea that people who identify as Chinese should actively support PRC positions, whether these are claims over the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, or opposition to the United States. Accompanying such assertions is the view that resisting an amorphous “Western” threat represented by the United States means standing up for a constructed idea of Asia and the developing world, pitted against a history of colonialism, injustice, and even rapaciousness.」

    I’ve been riveted by Andrei Znamenski’s Red Shambhala — Magic, Prophecy and Geopolitics in the Heart of Asia.

    Non-fiction spy thriller set in Mongolia, Tibet, Altai, Kalmyk and Buryat; about how the early atheistic Soviets tried to win over the Tibetan Buddhist people over to the cause of Communism.

    I wasn’t sure if I had 5 things to be honest, but I thought harder on the subject:

    #horror and #tabletop #podcasts

    #history, more specifically, the #GreatGame, it’s legacy and continued impact on relations between #Russia, the #UnitedKingdom, and #UnitedStates. (This interest does not extend to the current conflict).

    #miniaturepainting

    The #fannibal, #hannigram, #Hannibal community.

    #Fashion, #ProjectRunway, various other fashion related shows.

    That’s 5. Mind blown! 🤯

  13. @llamasoft_ox haha that'd be something. First game I ever played of yours was AOTMC on my #C64. Couldn't work out why it flickered as you made the camels cross the left for right borders. Guess I should have looked at the machine code #1983 #greatgame #commodore #C64

  15. Whoo boy..! I'm about to complete #signalis And what a #greatgame it's been!

    Highly recommended to anyone who want back to the early Capcom Resident Evil/Dino Crisis #PS1 days.

    Sci-fi, horror, great atmosphere, intriguing story and a sprinkle of inventory management that necessitates planning ahead. It was a while ago I was this hooked on a game. Great work Rose-Engine, you've created something wonderful here.

    To a few like #PrinceAndrew what is happening right now in #Ukraine is what they were hoping for.

    A conflict that only *appears* to have been started a few months ago by "#imperialists". They're using this to #engineerConsent via wave of #globalIndignation to hurt #Russian people.

    We know very few ppl on Fedi believe the #forcedNarratives being beamed via legacyMedia.

    Your job is to get the message out to those vocal fools, playing into their "#GreatGame".
