Weekly Post 1
This is a second blog post wuhu I am toying around with the structure of these posts, bear with me. I also didn’t properly start taking notes yet (I didn’t decide to start this website till Wednesday), so I should be more satisfied with the blogs and myself starting next week o/. This is the first week of my last semester. I really enjoyed getting back to university, to lectures. I am a bit slower than the people I started with, but amazingly enough you make so many connections that I met people I already knew in every single course I enrolled in. The exams don’t look that daunting, two professors aim for oral exams which suit me way more than written ones. I met up with a fellow student on Saturday, in Sternschanzenpark at a free table tennis table. It was excellent fun, and I wasn’t quite as rusty as I had feared. A big happening was the P&P role-playing game on Sunday. This is the first adventure in this system for the group, and I am DMing, so I spend the week going over everyone’s characters to make sure everything works out. I made sure their background stories were fitting, chose the adventure and educated myself about the setting. It went fairly well, we didn’t get as far as I’d hoped, especially because I wasn’t sure enough about a lot of rules in the opening fight. But they had a lot of fun, so Angbarer Bock is a recommendation, especially as a short starting adventure. Sorry about the German link I doubt there is an English one. A video from Eddy Burback about getting rid of his phone for a month. I did enjoy the style of his documentary about it. The music tailor-made for that essay was top-notch. I am wondering how much this relates to me though, since we have very different lifestyles. I used to be very detached from my phone growing up (there were days I didn’t use it because I didn’t bother charging), and I am still not indulging in main stream social media apps. I do doom-scrolling via Reddit and Mastodon, and I enjoy watching YouTube videos while doing everyday tasks. I think I could still live easily without that right now, the parts I would probably miss it most for are using it to authenticate myself, and navigating to places/seeing where certain shops are around me. But it does sound like an interesting challenge. We finished Splid Fiction. We will probably come back for the achievements, but we agreed that it’s a big recommendation, as its predecessors. They decided to get really creative with a lot of concepts in the big finale which I really appreciated. We are watching Andor currently, for me, it is a rewatch, my friend didn’t watch it yet. The second season is coming out soonish and I really look forward to it, I have high hopes it is as good as the first season is. And this is it. I will see you all next week, hopefully I have taken notes for this post by then.Recap
