Since I've moved accounts, let's do a quick re-introduction:

Hello folks, I'm lemon cosmos (they/them) 🍋🪐 I'm a german, non-binary gamedev by hobby and trade. I work as a game programmer but am a solodev generalist most of the time! I love making silly/unusual/yummy games that you wanna tell your friends about :)

On the slim chance I'm not making a game and aren't burnt out, I'm either playing lots of games (ask me about my fav indies or my board game collection!) or keep my hands busy with watercolor or more recently crocheting!

Oh also, I host gamedev events sometimes! Anything else? Hmm, favorite emoji is ✨ by far (before AI started to ruin it 🥲)

I'm trying to work on being more active about sharing progress, which I used to do a lot in the "good" Twitter days. Feel free to remind me if I've been quiet for too long :p

I have a new pen! Lamy Scala with 14k F nib. Designed & manufactured in Germany 😏🇪🇺.

I used to have one before with steel nib, but it was in my bag that got stolen last year. I'm missing it every time I'm writing. Extra salty that those thieves probably don't realise the value and likely threw it away 🥹.

The engraving is actually very neat, but the shineyness makes it hard to photograph.

Apropos nothing: albums on @wikidata with no set language, but where we know the band or artist hails from a German-speaking country (easily swap to a language of your choice): https://w.wiki/HmZg

Doing some research on the concept of a "punchable face" and came across this lovely German word...

In essence, the modern "dude bro" with a punchable face is a specific, culturally current subtype of a Backpfeifengesicht, where the desire to slap is supercharged by public knowledge of their misdeeds.

Backpfeifengesicht - a face in need of a slap.

Can any of my German speaking followers confirm this rough translation?

Does it have a different implication?

Today I learned.

#german #word

@aral To avoid being a hypocrite means not only speaking the truth in one area, but living & speaking it in all areas. I'm afraid #German history makes it well-nigh impossible for far too many #Germans to see #Israel & the #Israeli Government with anything like clarity of vision.

What‘s your go-to #python or #rstats tool(chain) for splitting #German compounds? I‘ve tried a few but was not really satisfied. Maybe I missed something. #NLP #linguistics

@randahl I listen to this confident, mature, and reality-acknowledging speech and I am afraid of the one to be delivered by #german #chancellor #merz today.

My expectations for the latter couldn't be any lower. Which brick will #merz drop next?

#davos #wef

@cstross
An essential ingredient of terrorism is, unsurprisingly, #terror.

Mild-annoyance-ists exist, and various laws probably cover them, but I cannot be terrified by for instance the application of cold #soup to a thing or person, nor a grammatical demand that un- or most specified actions be taken in or over some geographical area.

"ance" may be redundant. I expect there is a better #German word.
