Sad to see those two games disappear from the stores. Working on those was a highlight of my career, not just because it is a legendary adventure series, but because of the great people involved.

Steam info about Leisure Suit Larry: "Well, all good things must come to an end eventually. After a fantastic run, Larry is getting ready to hang up his leisure suit. Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice will only be available on Steam until October 23. After that, both games will be removed from the store. We've had an amazing time bringing Larry back, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who joined him on his adventures, laughed at his questionable decisions, and supported the games along the way. It's been a fantastic run, and we're happy we got to be part of it. Unfortunately, we can't share anything about his future. So if you've been thinking about giving Larry's latest adventures a try, now's the time. The "Last Chance" discounts will begin in just a few hours (October 9). Once October 23 passes, these two games will be gone from the store. Give Larry the farewell he deserves. Get them now or never."

Damit meine ich: Labert mich ruhig vorher an, wenn ihr mich irgendwo entdeckt. Den Hut trage ich allerdings nur noch selten (sollte den Avatar ändern), und ich bin grad beim Haarefärben, also kA wie ich Samstag aussehe 😅

PSA: Ich muss Samstag nach meiner Lesung rasch weiter zur Herbstlande-Lesung (wo ich ebenfalls kurz dran komme)

Deshalb: Wenn ihr Bücher oder Widmungen in selbige wollt, sprecht mich an! Bei gutem Wetter bin ich viel draußen, drinnen liegen ein paar Bücher auch am Stand von @hanamariab.bsky.social

@rainlights.net

Sie wird kurz und knackig (bekam nur eine halbe Stunde), aber das ist gut, weil ich dann gleich weiter zur Herbstlande-Lesung renne (die geht eine Stunde) ... Freue mich, Dich/euch zu sehen!

Great thread. And I think ... AI is the digital non-place. The same billionaires who destroy the real world destroy digital human place, to replace them with AI non-places. That's why it fits their mindset so perfectly. Even worse, it's THEIR tech. Bleak.
