(Schottische) Uni nach der Pandemie

In den Jahren 2020 und 2021 wurde an meiner schottischen Luxus-Universität der Lehrbetrieb komplett umgestellt. Für eine Weile war alles online, dann noch eine Weile länger das meiste. Im Jahr 2022 bewegten wir uns wieder ziemlich viele Schritte zurück zu prä-pandemischen Routinen. Mittlerweile ist fast alles so wie vorher. Aber einige der Veränderungen sind geblieben. Hier drei wesentliche:

Vorlesungen müssen jetzt live im Hörsaal aufgezeichnet und als Video zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Keine Ausnahmen. Technisch passiert das mit der Aufzeichnungssoftware Panopto, die wir seit 2020 haben. Ich verwende meine eigene Weitwinkel-Kamera und meinen Laptop, aber jeder Hörsaal verfügt über einen Computer, mehrere Kameras und Mikrofone. Besonders gut werden die Aufzeichnungen nicht. Das Video einer spezifischen Veranstaltung steht Studierenden direkt nach der Vorlesung zur Verfügung. Manche Studierende gehen deshalb lieber gar nicht mehr zur Vorlesung, aber die meisten kommen trotzdem. Lange Diskussionen über den Wert des Vorlesungsbesuchs sind die unausweichliche Folge.

Online-Meetings sind jetzt fester Bestandteil der Kommunikation mit Studierenden. In der Forschung trifft man sich natürlich schon lange online, mit Skype, später Zoom. Seit 2020 verfügt meine Uni über Microsoft Teams, das wiederum fest in die Software-Landschaft integriert ist. Jeder Kurs bekommt ein “Team”. Studierende haben automatisch einen Teams-Account. Ich benutze Teams zum Beispiel, um Beobachtungen vom Teleskop als Livestream anzubieten – wenn es darum geht, kleine Details auf einem Bildschirm zu sehen, spät in der Nacht, ist ein Stream deutlich besser, als in einem düsteren Kontrollraum zu sitzen. Außerdem kann ich das Meeting aufzeichnen und Leuten anbieten, die gerade nicht können.

Und drittens: Die Räume sind deutlich besser gelüftet als vor 2020. In der Bibliothek, einem großen Raum, den wir außerdem für Astronomie-Praktika nutzen, stehen mehrere weiße Quader, die die Luft filtern.

Fenster sind normalerweise einen Spalt offen. Alle Räume haben CO2-Sensoren, in vielen ist der aktuelle Messwert öffentlich sichtbar.

Auch an langen Tagen mit viel Betrieb bleiben die Werte deutlich im grünen Bereich. Vor der Pandemie hat sich einfach niemand für Ventilation interessiert. Jetzt ist das Thema ins Bewusstsein gerückt. Ein wenig.

hi everyone! sorry i've been so inactive, i had finals and had to move back home recently so i've been so busy and tired. in my downtime, though, i've dedicated most of it to writing lore for my characters! here are a couple of them :-)

the left is admiral and the right is adam! (i havent drawn a proper portrait for adam, so its traditional instead) they are the same person, and they share a body, but they exist at different times. admiral is oblivious, usually happy, arrogant and generally a lovable nuisance. adam is a sad poet, a hopeless romantic, and an introvert. he tends to take things a lot more seriously. adam has (minecraft lore soz) been infected with sculk as of late, which is why he is having an internal fight on whether he or admiral takes control of the body unknowingly

the left is margot and the right is preston! they're brother and sister :-) margot is in her 40s, and she's confident, loud, and will tell anyone anything. she is the definition of a social butterfly... (and she also has little to no shame) preston is the exact opposite; he hates being around people for too long, tends to be quiet and also keeps to himself. he does, however, enjoy the company of his friends and his family. preston is trans, ftm and margot is trans, mtf! just like my sister and i fr

there's a LOT more background on all of them but i'm going to keep it short lmao. hope you guys like them as much as i do :-) thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

(don't mind that all the ocs on this post are brunets with white or silver in their hair that totally isnt inspired by my own desires)

I have gone through the franchise going, "Ay yo, [insert character here], I understand that the Watchers can be assholes, but I'm never going to be able to 100% take your side against the actual slaves that are mistreated by literally all of creation."

I really hope that if we do get a game where the Horsemen fight against the Charred Council that we free the Watchers and not that we have to kill them off. If I had to kill off numerous Watchers in-game, I think that'd be the one Darksiders game I would skip out on.

My (Maybe?) Unpopular Opinion

I feel bad for the Watchers and I don’t blame Panoptos for being a bitter little bitch. I love the Horsemen, believe you me, but I have to let the Watchers slide on this one.

Okay, but hear me out:

The Watchers are a slave race. The Charred Council made Panoptos to be a slave, liked him, and then basically cloned him and made his progeny slaves too. He had a shitty life, was forced to have kids and was subsequently forced to watch them become slaves as well.

The Watchers aren’t treated well by anyone. Even our gentle Azrael calls them “sprites” as a (possibly) derogatory term.

Thier hatred for the Horsemen isn’t surprising. Like the Watchers, they were a created race and they serve under the Council. But the Watchers are punished much for severely than the Horsemen ever have. Proof: When War went to Earth and massacred Humans, he got his arm cut off and a punishment tattoo. Do you know what happened to the Watcher’s sister after she brought the Council news of the Apocolypse?

That.

In addition to that, the Horsemen escaped the fate of the Nephilim, of the conditions they were born into. That will never be an option for the Watchers.

Of course they’re salty little shits. They’re enslaved, treated unfairly and it’s the only thing they’ve ever known and probably will ever know.

So if the Council promised the Watcher power over War, keeping in mind that his sibling just exploded for a far lesser crime than War committed, do you honestly blame him for not even blinking? And can you honestly blame him for taking joy in seeing someone suffer as he and his family suffered since thier creation?

Does this excuse thier cruelty and disrespect of life? Absolutely not. But I don’t think that they are inherently to blame for all of the things that they do, many of which they are forced to do.

So yeah, that’s mah reason.

AF attack on @panoptos (same handle on AF, DA, IG) of her character Ginger!

Messed around with inking brushes and colouring styles on this one again. I'd like to figure out how to do stuff in a more traditional comic/graphic novel style at some point, just to have it under my belt.

[iwasonthelastbus]

Attack for @panoptos of her ocs Kenzite and Zolt Alpha! Gotta say I love the dynamics and designs between these two.

THEY HATE TO SEE A GIRL POST PANOPTO RECORDINGS!

This books was truly a insiders look at Death and War. Also their relationship with the Charred Council.

Not to mention their animal companions. Ruin, Despair, and Dust were characters all on their own, and didn't have difficulty expressing exactly what their were thinking.

I was almost shocked when War smiled or argued with Death. Certainly a difference from the fist game. But I guess it just shows that War was...younger than in the first game. And I also think he didn't lose his arm yet.

Death was a delight as always with his sarcastic quips. And he certainly shows his cold side with the way he casually threatened people. And it was abonus to actually see what he's thinking and his subdued emotions. And too see a glimpse of his past as one of the firstborn.

Azrael is best angel. No lie. Wonder if him being the angel of death and Death being well...Death makes them tolerate each other.

Knowing what I know now, some characters I was giving mental side eyes to. *cough* Abaddon*cough* and *cough*the Charred Council *cough* And Panoptos certainly has plans. Don't know of he'll come into play or his "clones" will in any future games.

Not gonna lie, I felt bad for Raciel. Betrayed by her love and then tortured in Hell. I also would've tried to kill Hadrimon if I were her.

Nice to see the Crowfather being sarcastic and not insane. Also nice to him unleash his powers.

I liked the descriptions and the fight scenes. Also liked how we get to see what Heaven and Hell looks like, and their structures. Certainly felt like I was there in the pages along with the Horsemen.

And I forgot to mention Oblivion. An interesting little punishment for immortal creatures. I wonder how the Charred Council managed to find that portal. And how the mysterious Keeper came be in their employment.

Considering that there's no other Darksiders novel, I guess we'll never know more about the Keeper, Berrarris, the Oblivion, and the other details in lore. A shame.

I've been using Happy Scribe to transcribe roughly ~3h of material in two languages and I must say it's really good?

I'm used to really shitty speech-to-text recognition and while Happy Scribe definitely needs post-editing and can't really distinguish speakers very well it's on an entirely different level compared to the automatic transcription or subtitling you'd find on YouTube or Panopto.

You can also add terms to your vocabulary which comes in handy with names and places.

It's pretty expensive but for those of you that need industry grade transcription I'd recommend it.

Who u fuck ,marry , and ,kill in any fandom u know?, to added in bonus to those three who will u hug?

Warhammer 40k: Fuck Rogal Dorn, Marry Vulkan, Kill Konrad. ILY bb but you're a menace to society. I would absolutely give hugs to Sanguinus Lorgar and Angron. I may die in any one of these scenarios, but worth.

Darksiders: Fuck Strife, Marry War, Kill Panoptos. Because he deserves it for what he did to Death. And i would absolutely give Fury, Draven and Ulthane a hug.
