CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The Supreme Court in the African kingdom of Eswatini has ruled that four men sent there by the United States last July under the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program can finally meet with a lawyer after they were denied in-person legal counsel for nine months while held at a maximum-security prison.

Due to rose-tinted retro spectacles, people may have forgotten their frustrations with Clippy.

Bubo ascalaphus and the wanderer man ""---Alt-text: a digital drawing depicting a bearded man, seen in profile, walking across an endless desert, while an owl (meant to be a Bubo ascalaphus, Pharaoh eagle-owl, a large-sized owl native to deserts, with deep orange eyes, prominent ear tufts and strong physiognomy) is perched on his neck. The man, wearing marine purple trousers and marine blue shirt, walks barefooted over the sand with some difficulty, seemingly weary, while he looks downward at his hands, which are extended next to his waistline with the palms facing up as if he were carrying something on his hands (but there's nothing being held). The owl, in contrast, is chillingly calm and simultaneously focused, asserting dominance over the man as she looks at his face with the same focused (and majestic) look that of when owls are watching a prey. Her head is slightly tilted leftwards (in relation to them; to us viewers, it's towards us), adding to an uncanny tenderness. Behind them, a deep red sky typical of late dusk blends with the sand at the horizon, while an enormous red crescent moon emits a deep red glow, a glow of which is the source of light for the entire scene (shadows are cast on the ground).--- Originally, my drawing involved a bit of blood (where the owl's claws meet the man's neck because, in fact, it's something quite expected if an eagle-owl were to perch onto someone's neck with all her mighty, as her claws seem very sharp, more so than other owl ) and the man only wore trousers (no nudity because there's not even a detailed chest, but the lack of a shirt may be seen/understood as so), so I made a more family-friendly version (no blood and he's wearing a proper shirt) in order to make it fully NSFW-free. The original version can be seen in my PixelFed gallery.Also, I wanted to have a time-lapse of my drawing, just like I recorded for the previous drawing (, burrowing owl) I posted here. However, drawings such as this one tend to be more complex (this drawing has 33 layers, some of which use composition modes such as "linear burn" and "glow", which uses a bit more GPU; in comparison, my drawing involved just 13 layers and no composition mode), making my phone more prone to hiccuping/hanging/crashing during my drawing sessions (and recording a time-lapse is, itself, additional GPU load alongside the load from the drawing app).@artshare@lemmy.world

Eigentlich nichts neues, aber mal nett zusammen geschrieben.

There’s often a tricky balance with examining what to re-examine and what to keep when remaking games, but the Gothic 1 Remake from Alkimia Interactive certainly looks to give the original series a much needed reappraisal in the right ways. Along with leaning even further into the stories that are made with every choice, it’s making some commendable updates for storytelling and removing some unsavory aspects of the 2001 version. And so far, Gothic 1 Remake has the makings for a worthy reinvention of a classic RPG series. Previewed by Alessandro Fillari
