Die Unis heften sich die Erfolge ihrer Mitarbeiterinnen bei der Einwerbung von renommierten Projektgeldern zwar gerne auf die Fahnen, doch sind sie nach Auslaufen eines Projekts nur selten bereit, die federführenden Wissenschafterinnen aus eigenem Budget weiter zu beschäftigen. Sobald die Drittmittel aufgebraucht sind, endet typischerweise auch der Dienstvertrag.
I don't generally like KickStarter, because sometimes the people don't ever follow up again after they get the $$. But I'm trusting the Pratchett Estate and @neilhimself and @ColleenDoran on this one. It just started today 8/1 It's almost 2pm EDT and it's already reached it's £25K goal! Congratulations y'all!!
Colleen's previous adaptations of Neil's work have been works of art, and won a lot of well-deserved awards, so I'm really looking forward to this one.
(NB: this adapts the book, not the TV show; related, but not identical.)
There's an early-bird tier available only today, so I recommend giving it a look now…
En attendant la sortie de #baldursgate3, on peut écouter (ou réécouter) l’interview du fondateur de Larian pour Libération. "Swen Vincke revient sur les origines du projet, leur processus créatif, leur étrange organisation de travail, et sur l’étendue un peu vertigineuse, un peu folle, du résultat final." #gaming#jeuvideo
Got a few side-quests done tonight in Dust: An Elysian Tail! Currently sitting at 62% completion! I played for a couple hours on Steam Deck and only managed to use 40% of the battery!
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
Good Omens ('90) is a comedy about the coming end-times when Satan sends his son to Earth to precipitate Armageddon. Things don't go according to plan and angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were never keen are left to sort things out. Authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are the police.
Just had my son diagnosed. I lied and said we were getting further advice about his dyslexic strengths and weaknesses. Because I didn't want to tell him unless we were sure as being an adolescent is hard enough.
What's a really good resource that I can use to help explain what it means?
I wish I could return to a time when video games didn't feel like chores. Looking at most of the games on my computer, and they are all live-service games which take up too much of my time.
I need to quit starting games that don’t have a defined beginning, middle, and end.
Maybe I will take August off from video games which are ongoing services.
