  • It’s still the platform if you are in the counter strike scene. It’s where all the pros and business insiders are. If you want updates, scoops, if you’re looking for a team or want to learn about tournaments in your area, you have to be on Twitter. It sucks. For me, personally, this just means I don’t follow the Counter-Strike scene anymore :/

    And it’s Danish, too! That might not mean a lot to you, but we’re a small country, so it feels really cool when we get recognized globally.

    I mean, nowadays we’ve made a nice mark on the movie industry, with Mads Mikkelsen, Jamie Lannister, Winding-Refn, and movies about drinking winning Oscars, but that was different 24 years ago.






  • This is incredibly visually pleasing to me. The look of the dice, the fact that they all landed on the same value, the yellow lighting contrasting the blue, is all just scratching every arbitrary itch in my head, as well as reminding me of a cozy evening of playing dice with my grandparents.

    Your lucky throw is now this strangers phone background.



  • In my town, there are mostly electric vehicles nowadays. I was out walking along a larger road in my neighborhood when I noticed a bus and two cars passing each other, and it suddenly hit me that earlier in my life, that would have been a very noisy affair, but it wasn’t. I also realized how much the world used to smell like gas. And does anyone else remember the rainbow colored gas puddles you used to see and smell in parking lots? I don’t remember the last time I saw any of those.

    Then I realized there is a world where my kids can grow up outside of noise pollution, cigarette smoke and car fumes, and it made me a little more hopeful about the future.



  • At my workplace, you really just use them whenever. I’m a developer and we are encouraged to change environments when we are stuck or working on solving a problem. Or any time you just need to recalibrate your brain for 10-15 minutes.

    Obviously, you can’t just sit there all day, but sometimes we like to go there when others go for a smoke break. And sometimes nothing works and everything is annoying, then you can just say: “I’m gonna take 10 and come back with fresh eyes”.
