Dark Matter I A Dark Comedy Show by Sergej Lopouchanski Tickets https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dark-matter-i-dark-comedy-show-tickets-1989551352653 Dark Matter is an intergalactic comedy special, spanning time, space, cheese and Belgium. A timeless tale of struggle, failure, more failure and then even some more failure, it's a stand-up special of EUROPEAN comedian Sergej Konstantinovich Lopouchanski, who's known for making jokes, has no political affiliations and is actually a very nice guy. If you need a laugh, if you hate call centers and if you have an unhealthy fascination with time-travelling toasters, then you have to see.... - DARK MATTER. “Dark Matter rules!” - some guy in the audience. “I don’t get it” - a boomer. **Sergej Lopouchanski Bio:** The very first comrade of comedy in Belgium will not only make you laugh, but he will also insist that you laugh! Comedian/actor Sergej has been a well sought-after compere and comic on the Benelux circuit for over 10 years. Expect brutal honesty with a dash of surrealism! **MC** Ken Park **Opening Act** Ceren Tosun Ceren is a Turkish comic and one of Luxembourg’s rising stars, chronicling the chaos of singlehood in her thirties, where her relationship status refreshes every 24 to 48 hours. Her comedy dives into expat struggles, working life, and the absurdities of trying to settle down abroad. A former alcoholic who traded bottles for marathons, she brings a dark, cynical edge to the stage that’s as strong as a double espresso.

After sold outs in Stuttgart, and in Berlin, Bloody Immigrant is taking off and coming to Luxembourg! Krzysia’s comedy is deeply observational as she figures out her life in Germany, fearless in speaking truth to power, sprinkled with a generous amount of warmth and a little off the wall. Come and laugh at stories about finding yourself at the crossroads of multiple cultures, reflecting on the oh-so-stable world we live in and being a cheeky little shit. Enjoy Krzysia’s charm in her sharing stories of love, sex and relationships where the endless ritual of trial and error is performed. There will be a wonderful opening act from Luxembourg's finest Ceren Tosun and audience's sweetheart MC Ken Park. If all we have is laughing together, then we have it all together, right? Door opens: 6:30pm Show start: 7pm **Headliner bio :** Krzysia is Polish by way of Great Britain and performed internationally from London South Bank Centre to Tokyo Comedy Bar. She has opened for Bengt Washburn (Comedy Central, Dry Bar Comedy), Elena Gabrielle (Top Secret London), Dima Watermelon (Gotham Comedy Club, Comedy Store) and Thomas Henry (The Comedy Cellar, Comedy Store). She prefers riots to diets unless the diet is exclusively croissants. **Opening Act** Ceren is a Turkish comic and one of Luxembourg’s rising stars, chronicling the chaos of singlehood in her thirties, where her relationship status refreshes every 24 to 48 hours.

**Free event** Jesus’ Lost Years in India is no ordinary book. It was created on explicit request of Jesus himself as his wish is to share with people the truth about how he became the Enlightened Ascended Master, how he became God’s Son as he has been referred to for so long. Jesus was not born Enlightened. At the age of 23, he travelled to India with his sister Rose Mary and spent seven years there in spiritual training with the yogi masters of the Himalayas and the Indian South. He was initiated both into Kriya and Tantra yoga. Jesus’ Lost Years in India: West Meets East is the first of three books channelled from Jesus by the author Sibil Gruntar Vilfan. Join us on June 19 in Luxembourg for exclusive reading from the book by the author and experience Jesus and Himalayan kriya yogi Mahavatar Babaji’s presence through the mediation and activation that they will lead through the author of the book. If you feel connected to Jesus, if you have always felt there was more to Jesus’ Life story than what has been widely known so far then this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Let's get together and listen to **[Eric Rico](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericrico/)** from Unity3D (**From Joints to Gestures: Reading Hands in Unity**). A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Eric also runs the **[Columbus Unity User Group](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-unity-user-group/)**. Check it out! ***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI-generated) code!*** Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

*We'll update this with the specific topic(s) once they're set for the month.* A relaxed, community-driven Unity GameDev meetup. No strict agenda — just developers getting together to talk shop, share projects, and exchange ideas. Some topics that may come up (based on attendee interest): * Frame Debugger & performance tooling * Addressables & additive scene workflows * Input System, localization, responsive UI * AI integration approaches * DevOps & LiveOps experiences * Full lifecycle: idea → cross-platform publishing * Favorite Asset Store tools and hidden gems * Weird Unity quirks we've all run into Nothing is locked in. Bring a project if you'd like, bring a question, bring a lesson learned — or just come hang out and meet other developers. All skill levels welcome. Food and drinks provided.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code* Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
