i realized that i forgot to post my first piece of merch.

i've been dreaming of making merch for years and finally i did it! a month ago actually but it doesn't matter.

golden vinyl looks so much cooler irl... it's super-duper shiny and reflects everything like a mirror.

since no one knows me only one person bought a sticker pack but i'm still super happy.

of course i'm planning to make more dota merch and hopefully sell it =) smh it's not that popular in my country lol

lucifer na stress na stress palagi sa mga kapatid niya, wala masyado parents nila kaya siya na ang taga-asikaso sa lahat

lucifer na nagmumukhang single dad kaya gg ang mga marites na ireto mga nakshi nila na lagi naman iniiwasan at tinatanggihan ni mami lucifer mo

Aren't we all jealous of this friendship? It's no wonder Do thinks 127 meeting is destiny considering how many bonds members have developed.

There are concerts already scheduled for Japan and some Asian countries. Taeyong should be there. SM can't sell tickets without announsing which members will be missing (like with Taeil). The merch for Unity also offers 8 members.

Dota at Steintor-Varieté, Halle a.d. Saale | 20th September 2023 | photos by me

Read about a wonderfully chaotic concert with Dota and her band below. I've divided the text into sections so you can skip right to the main part.

Reunion with an old friend

Often when I go to concerts, I'm going on my own. This time, I went with someone special: An old school friend of mine, Christina, whom I haven't seen for seven years. We stayed in contact just a little bit and a few months ago realised that now we don't live as far away from each other anymore. So I asked her if she wanted to come to the Dota concert with me and she agreed.

So shortly after 3pm after a bit of an odyssey with Deutsche Bahn, I arrived at the train station in Halle. I immediately recognised her on the platform, we hugged and were overall overjoyed to see each other again. It was as if we had never parted and we instantly found many topics to discuss while taking the tram back to her place. We stopped by a supermarket to get some food for the evening and breakfast.

Christina's apartment block is a construction site at the moment because they are modernising the entire building. But her flat was small and homely and we dropped off our stuff there before taking the tram back to a restaurant that served tasty bowls and home-made lemonades.

We talked so much about our studies (she studies something like sociology and political science and will be working on her master thesis next year), our common friends, concerts and festivals and many political topics that are important at the moment. It's very refreshing to talk to someone so knowledgeable and engaged in politics and general developments in Germany. We discovered that we both like satire shows (she has even been in the heute show audience once!) and Christina immediately wanted to come to Munich with me to see Die Anstalt (sadly, tickets are sold out). Funnily, I know Dota from Die Anstalt, because she performed her song Grenzen there back in 2018! So everything fits together, afterall.

Then it was already almost 6pm and time to head over to the Steintor-Varieté where the concert would take place. There were only three elderly people already at the doors so we decided to go on a walk around the block. The location was directly next to Christina's university campus with the library, café and some offices just on the other side of the building. So we already saw them setting up the merch stand from the window on the back. We walked around some more before they opened the doors around 7pm. As we were one of the first people, we got the best seats in the front row, right in the middle. Now it was time to wait and chat a bit more until the concert would start.

A tribute to Mascha Kaléko

There was actually no support act - at around 8pm Dota and her band appeared on stage. They started out with some very quiet and contemplative songs. The tour is dedicated to their album with musical interpretations of Mascha Kaléko's poetry. Mascha Kaléko was a German-Jewish poet born in 1907. In September 1938 Kaléko emigrated to New York City together with her second husband, Chemjo Vinaver. Her poetry is witty and very precise, describing daily life of ordinary people as well as offering a look on society during that time. Dota has been given a book of her poetry many years ago after a concert and started making the texts into music.

In between songs she often stopped to explain the background of a certain piece or recite another poem. It was at times funny and amusing (like one poem about the role of the women as an artist's muse) and sometimes very moving to hear about personal events in her life as well as feeling at home nowhere and being the outsider wherever she went.

A chaotic-good concert

The band had a difficult time that evening because one member got sick unexpectedly and they had to find other ways of dealing with this. The woman who played the thrombone also sang lovely backing vocals. At one point their drummer Janis Görlich came to the front to sing a duet with Dota as well. They were however unlucky because if the general improvisation wasn't enough, Jan Rohrbach's guitar string broke. They had no roadies and no spare so he went to change it. Dota decided to play a few songs by herself to keep us entertained.

Later Dota realised that we haven't been told there will be a break and sent us off for a few minutes. After the break they continued with a few more songs with poetry before switching over to their own songs. Dota was once again on her own and presented a few unreleased gems she has written for the next album. One was especially funny: A song about seeing all sorts of viral content on tik tok and trying to create some herself while secretly thinking all of this isn't as funny and cool as it is said to be. The whole audience was laughing about this and the mood really improved after a rather serious and quiet first part of the concert.

Then they played a few older songs, including Sommer für Sommer and Wir rufen dich Galaktika, a song from their previous album about wanting a superhuman being to rescue us from the mess we've made as humanity. At that point everyone stood up and started dancing and singing. We got an encore with Bademeister*in - a very witty song that praises the job of swimming pool attendants, both male and female. Then another song, Für die Sterne, about a guy who refuses to conform to other's expectations and lives freely for the sake of experiencing and enjoying life. Because the audience was really enthusiastic they even came out for a second encore, playing another very funny song, Rennrad.

After their very final bow, the older guy next to us, whom we already met in front of the door earlier, already wanted to take the setlist. This one time in my life I was faster and got to it first. Yay! My first setlist I got from a main act. I am not even sure how true this setlist is, given the many improvised passages that evening. It even has something crossed out and written further down. And it has a back side too! We let the other guy take photos of the setlist and then slowly went to the entrance hall where the merch stand was.

At the merch stand

There were really many people at the merch stand wanting to buy vinyls, t-shirts, posters and tote bags. To my delight they also had CDs so I decided to buy the previous album which I didn't have yet. Then I saw they had a few markers lying around - and sure enough, shortly after Dota appeared to help selling and signing things. When it was my turn I said "Hi! I got your setlist! Would you sign it for me?" She agreed and signed it with the date, and I managed to thank her for the great concert and reassure her it was a good kind of chaos that was a lot of fun.

There were a few elderly women who were quite impertinent and shoved others aside to be first. I stood there quite patiently to pay for the album when one of them grabbed the CD for herself and also wanted to have it signed but couldn't open it. I helped her to open the packaging when she decided that this was the wrong album afterall. Dota asked if someone else wanted it and I said, yes me, please! Then I proceeded to help that woman with a second CD and she got it signed for a friend of hers before it was my turn for signing again. So now I have a personally signed album as well. I thanked Dota again and got myself out of that crowd. Christina did not want to get anything and waited for me where it was a bit less crowded.

Evening conversations and a sunny morning

Christina and I wandered to the market to take the next tram. We talked about the concert and agreed that it was a great experience for both of us with many moving and funny moments. Our conversations kept wandering to topics of media, journalism and politics the whole evening. Curiously both of our studies overlap in quite a few aspects and we really click with our views and interests. As we arrived at home we drank tea and had some snacks. It got really late, around 2am, as we had conversations about anything and everything. Sadly the construction workers didn't let us sleep in peace as they started drilling the walls at 7 in the morning.

After a relaxed breakfast Christina had to get ready for a conference and we took the tram back into the city. We parted with many hugs and promises to see each other soon, maybe in November when I have the whole flat for myself or for a comedy show. It was a sunny morning at the market place, and I decided to wander around a bit before going home. They have a huge book shop I got stuck at for quite a bit and a big organic grocery shop. I also wandered through the small but lovely park. Then my backback got heavy and the sun was too strong. Around 28 degrees in September without a cloud in the sky - thank you, climate change, I guess. I was very tired, actually, and fought not to fall asleep in the hot, crowded train. It felt good to be at home again - and there were some photos to edit and some new songs to listen to as well...

Dear Dota and dear Christina, thank you for the wonderful adventures in Halle. Hopefully we get to repeat this experience again soon!

What I did today:

Draft social media calendar for the month of January

Redesign and upload merch poster

Design internship job advertisement

Revision of podcast audio

Feed the dogs

Cooked dinner

Bought new shoes

Rebuild vape mod and bought vape juice

Journal No. 02:

I uninstalled Dota 2 last night, so I hope I could abandon that game for good.

I woke up with a good sleep, so that's something to be thankful for. I was not able to read my book today, but that's okay, I have the whole day tomorrow. I immediately went to work, and I was able to render 2 hours of deep work. It is kind of regrettable that I almost spent the whole afternoon watching YouTube videos. I really have to work on my focus.

I went to the city, and I was kind of surprised since traffic is getting kind of moderately heavier than before. I was able to buy myself some shoes as a reward for myself for surviving another semester in law school. I realized that I am bad on memorizing people when I went to my aunt's office and someone greeted me there. He seemed to know me personally, especially regarding my family, but I can't seem to remember who he is and I'm really sorry about it. He seemed like a genuine person too.

Anyways, me and my friends will be drinking tonight. It has been a long time since the three of us were together.

Step 4: Relaunch the game, and the cursor will be able to move around again. nomousegrab: Enables alt-tab function in some Linux desktop environments (such as XFCE) where Dota 2 is running fullscreen and grabbing the mouse wouldnt allow users to alt-tab out of the game. Step 3: Head back to the FULLSCREEN setting in the config.dat file and up it to 1. Current white-list: Minimap, HUD, icons, custom cursor images, all sound directories, flash videos. No matter what type of fan fave you’re looking for to best rep your anime or manga love, know that we’ve got your back when it comes to supplies (but seriously, we’ve got tons of anime backpacks).

Click to choose one of the available options: scroll 'Multiple lines at a time' or scroll 'One screen at a time.' The first is the default setting, which makes scrolling smoother and slower while selecting the second one makes the mouse wheel scroll a whole screen of content. The second option configures how scrolling with the mouse wheel works.

My favorite drivers are the ones who tend to give less of a fuck about that. Like Lando and Dan. Hell McLaren won me over because of them showing Lando and Carlos relationship. I’m sure they have issues but they’re very much I can do this and also race a car round really fast. I think all male sports have an inherent problem with “having a personality” and I really want to punch whoever made Lando feel like he should chill. It’s nice to know they’re people not robots.

I can’t find the tweet but there was a post that was like “we still don’t have an openly gay footballer” and someone replied with “*male footballer”

(actually there has been one but it led to devastating harassment)

Honestly it amazes me that, somehow, I really like F1 at the minute. I was working for the series for a lot of last year and god I hated it so much I thought of one of my offices as ‘the torture chamber.’ I previously worked for Honda, so McLaren orange gives me war flashbacks and yet... here I am... buying Carlos Sainz merch????? Enjoying the sport????? Interested in fucking testing????? Are you kidding me?????????

A lot of it is that there’s way more F1 content that caters to me. I love F1 but for the past 28 years I’ve been loving it in spite of the way it really doesn’t want me to and there’s suddenly all this stuff that feels actively programmed to entertain me. 

I want McLaren Unboxed and cute stuff and good technical explanations and in-depth features way beyond a race report and funny videos and non-generic, insightful media pen questions. I want unexpected podiums and a sense of potential hope. I want drivers I can genuinely like because I think they have good factors both as speedy bois (or girls) and as human beings. I am the picky millennial audience with my skittish desire for YouTubes and a troubling over investment in some of my favourite Dota analysts’ hairstyles.

The best book ever written about F1 - the most insightful, the most fascinating - is Ginny Williams’ book that became the Williams film. Partly because it’s very, very well written (Pamela Cockerill could write like fuck) but also because it’s emotional and funny and involving and full of so much truth about the way the series works. But it got written off as ‘a love story’ when really it’s some of the best sports journalism ever created. 

When I read it I was like ‘FUCK, why isn’t there more stuff about F1 like this HELL it’s so GOOD’ and like... now there is. That stuff’s happening. It’s SO rad. 

(I wish someone’d commission me to do some of it but that’s a separate issue)

does anyone remember that year the dota fanbase unanimously banded together to create fucktons of dakimakura drawings of the heroes? and then campaigned really, really hard to get them made into official TI merch? I had forgotten about that

[dojae-huh]

From the Japan vlog, we can tell which one are closer with each other in real life. Their body language tells everything. Look at DY and TY looks so content just by being pretty sitting vibing together remembering old days. While JH being more excited with the inus than the presence of his old roommate. I dont familiar with 3rd group, but I can tell Mahae are really close off cam.

There was an illustrative episode with DoTae. Tae was talking, he noticed Do couldn't understand how to switch on the camera in his hands, Tae silently took the camera, switched it on, passed it back, and continued where he had started. Doyoung didn't bat an eye, Taeyong didn't comment. It's similar to Jaehyun taking a toy gun from Doyoung to put in correct bullets. In both cases the helper didn't ask permission, the one being helped didn't question or hesitate to pass the object. Shows how routine such actions are, how there is no need for checking with another person.

The moment.

Both Woo and Jae like dogs, but they didn't share the experience. The two petted dogs separately. Same when Woo offered to buy souvenirs. Jae agreed but went to look at the merch on his own instead of sticking to Woo how he was sticking to Do when they visited Dfesta exhibition.

While I was in Seattle earlier this month for Emerald City Comic Con, I was given the chance to visit Valve’s new headquarters! I took pictures where I was allowed, so please enjoy them. Each one has a description, if you look at them individually.

My guide Joel was very friendly and informative, and I got to walk around the place for an hour while he told me about how they use the different facilities. There were a few areas I wasn’t allowed into, which is fine, but what I did see was amazing!!!

Notes about Valve HQ in no particular order:

They have several floors of the building they’re in, which didn’t seem to be divided up in a strict way. Frequent common spaces with lots of light and comfy places to relax, think, and chat with co-workers. Joel said they decided on where different development teams would be placed based on where people naturally congregated. It felt very campus-like.

There were individual offices for administrative business and some personal art studios we walked by, but it seemed like people probably didn’t spend a lot of time holed up individually, unless they were focusing hard on a specific task.

I got to look at the voice recording and motion capture studios. The mo-cap room was especially cool. There were a bunch of prop weapons mounted on the wall and some staging marked on the floor in tape. Joel said the new mo-cap room was twice as big as the old one, which allows for better recording of more action heavy movements.

The workshop areas I saw were impressive, including a Faraday cage, a reflective parabolic dish called the “Death Star,” a 3D printing set-up, and a power-washing and finishing station. Some of the stuff was obviously dangerous, so I kept my hands to myself. They have all the tools they need to quickly go through prototype iterations and isolate problems to fix.

I saw Gabe Newell from a distance while he was in a small class in one of the side rooms. Yeah, that’s right. No, I didn’t bang on the window.

They actually make a lot of classes available to their employees! Not just your normal technical, art, and humanities enrichment-type stuff, but physical training, too. They have a parkour class, which is super cool???

The amenities are sick! They have a fully kitted gym with rentable private areas and personal trainers, an open buffet area that serves a fully catered lunch on Thursdays, an in-house barber shop that opens for appointments twice a week, and a dedicated gaming lounge for employees who want to goof around with whatever tabletop stuff is on-hand. Joel confirmed to me that they do play D&D, which I wish I could sit in on so badly.

Joel mentioned to me, when I mentioned my curiosity about their decision to invest in virtual reality instead of augmented reality, that they went with VR and developed the Vive because it’s the harder problem to solve. Which is very Valve. If I trust any game company to figure it out, it’s them.

I really can’t emphasize how amazing the views were in this place. The one decent shot I got doesn’t do it justice. The most majestic views of Lake Washington, I swear!

I printed a nice big copy of my Latrine Duty illustration as a gift, which Joel said would go up on the fan art wall. I hope that’s a fun sexy surprise for someone.

I’m sure I’m forgetting things, but I don’t want to go on too long. It was so kind of Valve to let me have a tour, so if any of you guys are reading this, thanks a bunch!!!

Finally, I’ll leave you with the first thing I saw when I got off the elevator, since there wasn’t enough room for it in the main photoset. Heavy is here for you.
