Heute wird's wild: Von purer Müdigkeit und Mittelscheitel-Traumata geht es direkt in theologische Deep-Dives über christlichen Rap und Urheberrechtsverletzungen im Gottesdienst. Tobias ballert im Sprint sein Buch zu Ende, während Kira versucht, die Münchner Lokalpolitik auf Instagram zu verkuppeln. Eine chaotische Folge zwischen Counter-Strike im Büro und Anzug-Hacks von C&A.

Vi sammanfattar traditionsenligt terminen genom att peka på tre saker var som vi tycker förtjänar lite extra ljus så här inför sommaruppehållet. Henrik slår ett slag för sinnesrummet som en bra miljö för oss som personal att iaktta deltagare ur ett PERMA-perspektiv och Tomas frågar sig vad som kom först av människosynen och språket och undrar hur de egentligen påverkar varandra. Vi pratar också kort om: repetition, utbildning, Jeanette, Johansson-Ånmark, Lågaffektivt bemötande, beteenden i behov av omsorg, praktikbaserad evidens, kompetens, fingertoppskänsla, ödmjukhet, respekt, problemskapande beteenden, utmanande beteenden, Therese Waldenborg, Sofia Johansson, åldrande, välfärdsteknik, Counter Strike, kattrobotar, semester, stress, kommunikation och bemötande. Mycket nöje!

Justin's got the week off, so Seth steps in as co-host and the conversation does not disappoint. Doug and Seth dig into a Reddit question that sent them both deep into the nostalgia rabbit hole: of all the computer games you played between 1985 and 2010, what's the one you still think about today? Seth goes back to the PC port of Final Fantasy VII — the game that defined the RPG genre for a generation of players who couldn't afford a PlayStation — and StarCraft, the game that proved the internet was both a gift and a curse once Korean players started annihilating everyone on Battle.net. Doug lands on Diablo, Counter Strike, Half-Life, and Team Fortress from what he describes as the best summer of his life, plus Warcraft II and the legendary dorm-vs-dorm Counter Strike leaderboard that consumed an entire semester. Seth adds Morrowind and the Halo 2 university network wars, including the top-ranked player named Mixomatosis who turned out to live three doors down and was simply a different kind of person. The gaming conversation rolls naturally into a deep dive on Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and hero shooter culture — the difference between quick match and competitive, the rage of random teammates, why role-locking exists, and why you absolutely should not be trying out a new character in ranked. But first: Doug's mom has a long history of purging spices from the family pantry, and it explains a lot about his childhood. From there Doug and Seth debate overrated recipes (the dump-and-bake casserole situation has gotten out of hand), wage war over cottage cheese, and discover halloumi together in real time. Underrated picks include millionaire shortbread and candied pecans — two things that deserve far more attention. Plus fair food: dirty, suspect, and somehow perfect. A quick Clair Obscure Expedition 33 check-in leads into the episode's new game: AI or LinkedIn? Doug reads posts and Seth has to guess whether each one is a genuine LinkedIn post or AI generated. The results are both funnier and sadder than expected — especially the guy who timed his lunch at four minutes and 37 seconds because what isn't measured doesn't improve. This week's recommendations: Seth — Taskmaster (free on YouTube, 21 seasons). Five comedians, bizarre tasks, Greg Davies and Alex Horne hosting. One of the best shows you haven't watched yet. Doug — The Backrooms (A24). Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons based on the viral liminal space internet lore. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars. One of A24's highest-grossing films. Go see it. Plus: what even is SCP? Seth explains, and the answer sends Doug down a rabbit hole he didn't budget time for.   Subscribe: youtube.com/mindgappodcast  Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/T3HwyEw5v7  Listen everywhere you get podcasts  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindgappodcast Merch on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67768184  

In Folge 262 geht's quer durch die Werkbank: Robert hat sein Schreibtisch-Setup auf zwei gestackte Monitore umgebaut – warum das gerade fürs Videoschneiden so praktisch ist und wieso ein 20-Euro-Monitorhalter manchmal völlig reicht. Bassi startet derweil ein neues Projekt auf seinem Kanal „Bassi zockt!": Er begleitet das Counter-Strike Major in Köln mit Predictions und Recaps nach jedem Spieltag. Wir reden über das Turniersystem, das fiese Tippsystem mit den 0:3-Teams, das deutsche Underdog-Team BIG – und die ewige Frage, warum Deutschland trotz großer Esport-Geschichte einfach keine Top-Teams hervorbringt. Außerdem: unsere Begeisterung für DaVinci Resolve – wie ein Hardware-Hersteller eine Profi-Software verschenkt, die früher Zehntausende gekostet hat – und wie KI uns bei YouTube-Beschreibungen, Thumbnails und Einstellungen unter die Arme greift. Zum Schluss wird's grundsätzlich: Robert war auf einer Hochzeit in Leipzig und fragt sich danach, warum Augsburg (und Bayern) so spießig ist. Es geht um verkehrsberuhigte Straßen, begrünte Innenstädte, Aufenthaltsqualität ohne Konsumzwang – und das großartige bayerische Biergartengesetz von 1812.

Anton trycker plattan i mattan och tar sig hela vägen till det förlovade landet i öst (ja, det är alltid Japan) i Forza Horizon 6.

Is it possible for a $70 blockbuster to feel like it was actually designed for people with jobs and families? This week, we review Capcom's Pragmata and discuss why its bite-sized mission structure and emotional "Dad Hook" make it a gold standard for time-value in 2026. Then, we dive into the surreal world of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. We talk about why this "digital ant farm" is the ultimate zero-stress management sim and how its new inclusivity updates have modernized a cult classic.  We also take a look at Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a game that was once a technical struggle but has found a second, silky-smooth life as a Switch 2 powerhouse that finally fills in the missing pieces of Zelda lore. Finally, we set the stage for the BLAST Rivals tournament at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth. Whether you're a Counter-Strike veteran or a casual spectator, we break down why CS2 remains the tactical king of esports and what we're looking for as the world's best teams descend on Texas.

Der Konflikt zwischen den USA und dem Iran ist festgefahren. Die Straße von Hormus ist weiterhin zu, neue Verhandlungen stehen nicht an. Die USA und Iran sprechen nur übereinander, aber nicht miteinander, erklärt Astrid Corall. Ein neuer Vorschlag aus Teheran dürfte in den USA kaum auf Zustimmung stoßen, sieht er doch vor, dass über das iranische Atomprogramm erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt entschieden werden soll. Friedrich Merz wirft den USA eine fehlende Strategie vor. Eine ganze Nation werde von der iranischen Staatsführung gedemütigt, erklärte der Bundeskanzler bei einer Veranstaltung. Astrid fasst außerdem die aktuelle Situation im Libanon sowie in der Ukraine zusammen und sie schaut auf die neuesten Rüstungsausgaben, die laut dem Stockholmer Friedens-Forschungsinstitut Sipri 2025 einen neuen Höchststand erreicht haben. Über die Lage im Nahen Osten spricht Kai Küstner auch mit Michael Thumann. Der Korrespondent der ZEIT war lange in Istanbul und berichtet jetzt über Russland. Er sieht Teheran am längeren Hebel. US-Präsident Trump habe dem Regime ein gigantisches Geschenk gemacht hat, in dem er es "unwiderruflich zum Schleusenwärter an der Straße von Hormus gemacht" habe. Damit hätten die Iraner ein Mittel in der Hand, das sie immer wieder einsetzen können. Thumann erläutert, wie Russland den Iran unterstützt, bis zu welchem Grad Machthaber Putin vom Krieg im Nahen Osten profitiert und wie es derzeit in Russland selbst aussieht. Man habe es mit einer echten Wirtschaftskrise zu tun, sagt der Buchautor. Trotz des jüngsten Unmuts und öffentlicher Kritik von Bloggerinnen und Bloggern an Putin, glaubt Thumann aber nicht, dass deshalb Putins System ins Wanken gerät. Er analysiert die wirtschaftliche Lage in Russland und den Zustand der Opposition und erklärt, warum wir einem Frieden in der Ukraine nicht nähergekommen sind.Lob und Kritik, alles bitte per Mail an streitkraefte@ndr.deInterview mit Buchautor und ZEIT‑Korrespondent Michael Thumannhttps://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/audio-3240182.htmlKarten für die Kino-Preview “Die Russlandroute” am 6.

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠Dive into the explosive launch of Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss's ambitious open-world action RPG, released March 19, 2026, across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac. In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the staggering Day 1 metrics and the mixed reception shaping its post-launch trajectory.The game shattered expectations with over 2 million copies sold worldwide in under 24 hours, generating an estimated ~$140 million in revenue. Pre-launch signals were strong: 3 million Steam wishlists and roughly 400,000 early PC sales contributing $20+ million. On Steam launch day, it rocketed into the Top 3 most-played titles, peaking at 239,045 concurrent players—trailing only Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2—with over 16,000 user reviews yielding a “Mostly Positive” rating after an initial “Mixed” snapshot.Critically, Crimson Desert earned a Metacritic score of 78, reflecting mixed-to-moderately positive reviews. Players praise the massive Pywel world, deep combat, and sandbox systems like fishing, cooking, and hunting, but common complaints target complex controls, “janky” controller feel, overly dense menus, performance issues, bugs, weak story elements, and bland objectives. Controversies include accusations of undisclosed AI-generated assets in artwork and signage, raising potential Steam policy concerns.Investor reaction was sharp: Pearl Abyss stock plunged nearly 30% initially, with a 40%+ decline over five days, as the score fell short of lofty expectations tied to the game's long development and hype.Pearl Abyss responded humbly, acknowledging the “incredibly” strong sales, vowing rapid patches for controls, performance, and gameplay streamlining. With no microtransactions but Denuvo DRM in place, the $69.99 title stands as a maximalist single-player epic.Analytic Dreamz analyzes this as a classic high-hype AAA case: unmatched commercial momentum and engagement outpacing critical consensus. Long-term success depends on swift fixes to technical woes and controversies—proving sales dominance can fuel redemption in a demanding market.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
