When playtesting your game the most import thing to do is shut the fuck up. Don't help them. Don't tell them how to solve their problem. Just watch. Study the things they tried. Do this for a long time. Live their pain and confusion. Then go back and address what they struggled with. I see too many devs that jump in and help, then never fix the problem. Live their confusion.
Bei uns feiern gerade drei Mädchen Kindergeburtstag. Eine ist Jüdin, eine Muslima und eine Katholikin. Insgesamt sprechen sie Deutsch, Englisch, Russisch, Polnisch, Somali und Italienisch. Was für ein Kulturschatz, versammelt in nur drei kleinen Mädchen. Die fröhlich zusammen spielen. Warum man so ein Potential politisch verspielen will durch Rassismus ist mir völlig unklar.
Was sagt Christian Lindner, wenn ich ihm empfehle gegen Kinderarmut auf Staatskosten jedem Kind ein eigenes Auto zu geben? Da könnte er eigentlich kaum gegen sein, oder?

If you finally found the solution to your coding problem in a deep comment or something after having dozens of tabs open, you should write about it in your own blog.

Really. Describe the problem in your own words and the solution for it, even if the solution seems really obvious now. Doesn’t matter. Give credit and whatever, but use your own words because you will be surprised at how many people will land on it.

Write the blog post you wish you had found.

"Excuse me, your highness, but are you the princess who... um..."

"Who kissed a frog? Yes." the princess said.

"And it turned into a prince?"

"It was a prince all along. My kiss merely revealed it."

"May... may I have a kiss?"

The princess smiled at the servant girl. "Of course."

Gründe, warum man die bloße Existenz einer schwarzen Person in einem #Aldi Prospekt überhaupt kritisieren muss, die nicht bloßer Rassismus oder Rechtsextremismus sind, repräsentative Umfrage:

A) "Äh also, weil äh ... "
B) "Öööh ... "
C) "Halt die Klappe!"

Yay!: "21 Species Delisted from the Endangered Species Act"
Oh!: "due to Extinction"

A group of mysterious, hooded figures approached me.

"You are," they said in unison, "the Chosen One."

"Chosen for what?" I asked.

"Uh..."

They withdrew into a huddle.

"I thought you knew," I heard, and "It's been centuries," and "Did we take notes?"

I wished them luck and left.

It was on a shelf, as if it was an ordinary arcane book.
"Is that-"
"The legendary Book of Forbidden Knowledge?" the shopkeep said. "Yes."
"Can I look?"
"Sure."
The first page described the mortifying time I-
I turned the page. Another cringey memory.
"Only you can read yours."
