Eines habe ich auf die harte Tour gelernt: Rechtsextremen begegnet man am besten vor Gericht. Man bietet ihnen keine Bรผhne und versucht nicht, sie im Diskurs zu "entzaubern". Ich will nicht Teil einer Maschinerie sein, die zur Relativierung & Legitimierung von Demokratiefeinden beitrรคgt. (1)

Why do cozy games keep asking us to work, and why does it feel so good? Developers of games like A Short Hike and Tiny Bookshop weigh in on why even labor feels nice in their games.

This is a cute (and soft) extra from @okomotive.ch for completing the story in #Herdling. It feels like it has a place on my old merit badge sash, but I'll save it for a nice jacket I have in mind.

Thank you again for an excellent story. I look forward to exploring your catalog. ๐Ÿฉต

If youโ€™re complaining about clumsy controls or maneuverability in Herdling, I highly recommend you volunteer at your local ranch or dairy farm some time.

Moving cattle really do be like that.
