    Probably A Short Hike, with Return of the Obra Dinn a close second.

    ASH is great for three reasons:

    1. It doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. You’re done after around 2hrs. There’s a bit more things to do for a bit that’s it. No fat, no filler, no grind.
    2. It’s pressure free. Yes there’s a friendly competition at a few places, but there’s never the impression of danger or anything.
    3. Ambiance feels like being on holiday. Highly recommended if you can find it for a 5er or so to play after a stressful day.

    Obra Dinn is just sodamn innovative and great. Never had a gams with such a pronounced “holy crap that was good” after finishing it. There’s a few spots where the difficulty curve is a tad bit steep for my taste and the inability to jump between memories is (although I get why not included) a bit annoying, but the mechanics, story and visual / sound design just go down soooo well.




  • Hörspiel oder Hörbuch?

    Andy Weir’s The Martian ist grandios und mit das beste Hörbuch da sich kenne. Project Hail Mary ist auch sehr gut, Artemis leider nicht so (setting gut, aber Charaktere und Story … Bleergh)

    World War Z ist auch fantastisch gut gemacht und hat sogar pro Charakter einen eigenen Sprecher.

    Alles von Douglas Adams. Insb. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy ist ein fantastisches (hör)Buch (gelesen von Stephen Fry), vom BBC gibt’s auch ein Hörspiel davon.

    Jurassic Park von Michael Crichton.

    Terry Pratchett, insb. empfehle ich “Small God’s”, “Going Postal”, “Making Money”.

    Und natürlich Der Herr der Ringe.


  • Quad9 is decent, but there’s some weird legislative issues (they can be court ordered to not resolve certain sites) BC weird reasons.

    If you have a raspberry pi or similar sitting somewhere, you can set up a pihole DNS with unbound as upstream. Then you’ve got a DNS that’s as private as you want, locally cached and with additional ad/malware/… blocking capabilities.
