This is gonna make the list of cool things that happened in 2025
Pretty much, yeah.
I’ve heard lots of good things about it! Its first person tho, and I get motion sickness from playing games like that
Did you mean: Owlter Wilds
This is one of those moments where I’d love to have a “voice comment” option on hexbear until I remember how big of a doxx it’d be.
While the others already put links up, here’s an attempt at an explanation:
“Lieb” = leeb, like you said “Knecht” = also the German word for servant or farmhand, if you find a pronounciation for that one, you’ll just add it to Lieb. Now, pronunciation-wise, the K is hard, emphasized, very audible. The tricky part really is the CH. It’s not a K. In German, CH only is pronounced as a K if followed by an R. To make the CH sound, you do an aspirated H in the back of your throat, while you pull your tongue back and up close to your palate, then press the air out. It should sound similar to the hiss of a valve that isn’t shut entirely.
Hope that helps.
Idk comrade owl, but from what I’ve seen so far, I think we all really like owls. And people like @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net keep us informed and interested in them
Al Jazeera is doing an enormous job for posterity (mostly), and maybe even for the off-chance of any of these monsters getting punished. I’m glad someone is doing it.
What a naughty owl they are!
Isntrael will start attacking either Turkey or Egypt.
Good one
I’ve been discussing this with a friend too, the realization that militaries are hiring at insane rates these days. Forced conscription is not legally possible in my country (yet), but our military is offering more jobs than any other possible employer. It’s terrifying if you’re looking for jobs and desperately just want to get one that keeps you afloat, and all you get is “military here, military there, please learn how to shoot a gun, we really need more people who can shoot a gun, oh look, we love women who shoot guns too!” It’s making me sick.
Lifelong fan here: Yes. YES. YEEEES. Please go and play them, they’re amazing! Before I start rambling in earnest, when I played Syberia 3, it was even more buggy than it is now, but it hasn’t been fixed according to more recent reviews. Safe to say, it was almost unplayable when it came out, now it seems to be barely holding together. The story did not make up for it in any way, shape, or form.
The first Syberia game I played when I was a kid, second one came soon after. They are so beautifully mesmerizing, and there’s so much heart and thought put into them. Syberia, in general, always struck me as a mixture of nostalgia for a world that we never had, while at the same time being so close to reality that you feel like you’ve been in a similar/the same place before. (I’ve recently started reading Bill Cashmore’s “We hear only ourselves” book on utopia, and as far as I’ve read, it couldn’t be closer to the sentiments that the Syberia games evoke.) The first one is arguably the best, the second one continues in the same manner, the third one is shitshow of a game, and the fourth one is a beautiful masterpiece that had me crying every time I played it. They all vary in tone, emotion, and plot, but there is an overarching storyline. I am still hoping they’ll do a fifth one and bring us the closure that the story demands, but I’m happy if they decide not to do it. You can, thankfully, skip the third game completely (you don’t have to but I don’t think you need it to appreciate the beauty of the fourth game) as there is a concise summary of all relevant plot points available at the beginning of the fourth game. Syberia has a beautiful storyline, supported by the non-steampunkish-steampunk design of the automatons, and riddles/puzzles that’ll keep you on your toes (they get easier in 3 & 4, but no less fun imo). It’s a definite recommendation for me, but I am very biased as those games were my introduction to gaming itself.
Hope you have a lot of fun playing them!
Yeah, got that problem too but also no clue why
The funniest part is that in German, her name sounds almost like the word for layperson (Laie). So she’s Ursula of the Laypersons.
I’m honestly amazed they shared the locations and times the infected person was in public places at all.
Space sickness is nasty, but I’m pretty sure he’d be puking bc of the withdrawl as well as the space sickness
So subscribing to “right-wing” beliefs (they merely describe it as adhering to conservative or traditional values) literally makes you less able to understand others. So even the brain shows signs of a lack of community and mutuality between people. While it doesn’t surprise me that right-wingers are less understanding, it’s intriguing that there seems to be a visible change in the brain. What I’m curious about now is if this can be reversed.
Ok so… left-wingers, according to this study, are less empathetic and more impulsive…
Kidding aside, if we take the article at face value, I think it’d be safe to say that we all need to mediate more and go on as we are. Still, more research would be nice. Hope they don’t stop with this study.
