Do I know anybody who has worked with Cisco Hyperlocation?

I wouldn't have found my way to Riften without my favourite follower, Clippy [marriable].

I might just show off the very first Divinity game on Twitch at some point, because I love it very much.

Multiplayer votes? Multiplayer interactions in dialogue? Audience votes? Starting to be excited for Baldur's Gate III, and that's not just my Larian bias talking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5KuItVaoY

Redacted the name because the company isn't special or particularly bad, just very symptomatic. I'm not @-ing them, I'm @-ing the whole fucking industry.

Oh, TIL: SweetHome3D hat einen Online-Export, sodass man anderen Leuten den Plan und Rundgang linken kann. Es ist etwas versteckt (und komplett getrennt vom Online-Editor), aber sehr praktisch!

Ich bin ja sehr Team „Sprache entwickelt sich“, außer bei diesem Jobangebotsspam, wo mir dann doch mal die Majuskeln ausrutschen.
