It’ll probably be a brick in a few months, when the company goes bankrupt and the servers it relies on get shut down. So even getting it for free would be too expensive.

What do you mean? I have every Friday off! :-)

I’ll probably watch just another season of Star Trek - TNG…

They should’ve renamed the movie to “Speedo Pedo”.

Then you have lost control of your life and shortcuts are the least of your problems.

Summertime hours reduction (from 35 to 32 hours).

lol these are my regular hours (webdev in Germany with a 4-day work week)

KDE. Been using it since v3, tried various other systems like Gnome, Enlightenment, XFCE etc. and I’ve always been coming back to it. KDE just feels very intuitive and easy to use.

Slay the Princess

Sehr gut.

I turned that shit off after 30 minutes, it was so bad. :D Most regrettable purchase of my life.

It was definitely a combination of genetics and bad oral hygiene.

I’m in the same boat. 35 and half of them are already gone, my mum had them all removed when she was 40. My dentist is not crazy enough to take them out all at once though, that sounds insanely painful. I hope you’ll get through it soon.

Mine got fully away after buying a really good (and expensive) gaming chair and a new mattress. The gaming industry has done so much for our health, it’s insane. :)

Yes, I fucked up here. :D

My morning starts at 12am12pm. God, it’s so awesome to work in the tech industry. I’m just wired like that and always have been. Back in school I was not compatible with the system of getting up early and often missed the first two hours.

Commander Keen 4. I still love the whole series and play those games from time to time.

After that, my dad got me Doom, Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem 3D. Giving hookers money as a seven-year old in a video game was glorious, the old man has good taste.

Shake it, baby!

I wasn’t lying when I said that I go to the cinema almost every week! :D Tomorrow I’ll watch the new Deadpool movie.

These ones I really enjoyed in the last few years:

• The Whale (whole room was crying at the end)
• The Quiet Girl (surprise Irish movie that made my emotions come out)
• Spy x Family - The Movie (great humour)
• Civil War (shocking images, the mood change was brutal)
• The Boy and the Heron (my first Miyazaki experience, what a wild ride)
• Wonka (I’m not into musicals, but this was awesome as fuck)
• Inside Out 2 (great orchestral soundtrack, well-written and relatable)
• No Hard Feelings (worst trailer of all time, but the movie was very wholesome and funny)
• Furiosa (I’ve watched that in IMAX with Dolby Atmos. FUCKING awesome.)
• Robot Dreams (Cute animation + Twin Towers, nice combo)
• Encanto (Disney + great plot + emotions)
• To Catch a Killer / Catch the Killer (great crime movie!)
• Barbie (they criticize Mattel and it’s really empowering for women, I liked it)
• The Batman (dark, gritty, brutal - that’s how it’s supposed to be)
• Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (I can’t even describe how awesome this is)
• Dungeons & Dragons (I never played DnD, but this was well-written, creative and entertaining)
• The Super Mario Bros. movie (great humour and Jack Black does an awesome singing performance)

These movies are solid. Not great, but still very enjoyable:

• The Fall Guy (cool stunts!)
• Challengers (a bit weird, but I liked the message at the end)
• Fly Me to the Moon (solid acting, interesting premise, not every joke works)
• The Bikeriders (a movie about a biker gang. Cool.)
• Dune Part I + II (great SciFi flicks, but veeery long)
• The Teachers Lounge (we produce one good movie per year here in Germany. This is one.)
• The Holdovers (good acting, but the plot was stolen from someone else, sooo…)
• Migration (very well written for a childrens movie)
• Next Goal Wins (funny soccer movie)
• The Creator (omg, those visuals!)
• A Haunting in Venice (good mystery crime movie, but don’t expect to be able to solve the riddle by yourself)
• M3GAN (another murder puppy movie, but pretty modern)

And these movies are pretty bad or just disappointing:

• Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Family Drama: The Movie)
• Problemista (I wanted to like it, but it’s just weird, unfunny and incoherent)
• Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (the disappointing fourth entry of a great trilogy)
• Miller’s Girl (this movie is just an excuse to put Jenna Ortega in tight outfits)
• Demon Slayer: Hashira Training movie (half of the movie is just a rerun of the last episodes, fuck you)
• Madame Web (bad writing, bad CGI, bad everything)
• The Beekeeper (Jason Statham kills everyone, but it was just boring)
• Wish (all bad things about past Disney movies combined into a soulless new one)
• Killers of the Flower Moon (way too long, laziest fucking ending I’ve ever seen)
• The Equalizer 3 (Walking around and nothing happens - The Movie)
• Falling for Figaro (an opera movie with the most cliche romance plot ever, total garbage)
• The Little Mermaid (all underwater scenes are dark as fuck, what is this?)
• 65 (Jurassic Park with no budget and Adam Driver)

…and then there’s also “The Zone of Interest”. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but it’s definitely an experience. You could’ve heard a hairpin drop at the cinema and it was packed with people. No one bought popcorn. I wish every fascist here in Germany would be forced to watch that one and think about their stupid beliefs.

I believe the Despicable Me series peaked with the second one. Everything after that feels like soulless cashgrabs to sell Minions merch.

The only good thing about the fourth movie is the opening music.

I like movies and I like the atmosphere at my local cinema. I’m going there almost every week. Most of the time I bring my own snacks. I think they just ignore me because I’m like…their best customer, lol. :D

I do order a drink every time. But eating popcorn or nachos every week sounds like a nightmare, and that’s all they have there.

When I was in my 20’s, I always gave 200% at the jobs I worked at. I was young and naive and believed I would eventually be rewarded for all the hard work I put in, even on weekends and night shifts.

Then I got burnout, because I was working at a pace my body just couldn’t sustain anymore.

It changed my life drastically. I learned to value my health and free time and to prioritize that over the needs of my employer. I learned that hard work doesn’t neccessarily bring you any benefits, it mostly benefits your employer. I also learned that nobody cares when your health is fucked up - for your employer, you’re just a cog in the machine that can be replaced.

Nowadays I only work four days a week and I don’t give a shit about what happens on Fridays anymore. Server is down? Not my problem, get someone else to fix it.

I also learned to stand up for myself. I’m not getting paid like a monkey anymore and if you promise me a raise and then pretend like that never happened afterwards, you’ll have my resignation on your desk, printed out by the company printer right in front of you.
