Never saw the video for that song, but yeah, that’s pretty much what I imagine would happen.

Once the humidity gets high enough this doesn’t really work anymore, at least, in my personal experience. Wet clothes stay wet, but your still sweating.

To each their own of course, but I’m perfectly fine dressing for the cold. Sure, once temperatures get below -35C it’s not the most comfortable to be outside and you’ll want to get good at layering, but I still much prefer it over the inverse (temperatures of 35C and over).

I live in Canada today, and used to live in Sweden. I’m perfectly fine with winter and heating the house, dressing for it, etc. I’ll compromise my stance by saying early spring is nice, but man do I hate summer heat and humidity. And don’t get me started on mosquitoes and other summer bugs.

Too bad about the cost of living there, but it sounds like absolute paradise outside of that.

I’d live in perpetual winter if I could. You can dress for the cold, but at some point the heat and humidity make it impossible to be comfortable outside regardless of your outfit.

Every time I hear the guy speak I can’t imagine him in a room with any other world leaders not turning into an open brawl. Even if I agreed with his politics, the fact that he’s so full of himself would turn me off of voting for this windbag.

Solasta actually plays pretty well with an old Steam Controller and the right controller mapping, but I can see where you’re coming from on a controller without a touchpad input.

Not here to comment on whether you are right (because you are) but more to report the whiplash of realising 20 years ago is still in the 2000s. Mentally, 20 years ago puts something early nineties to me.

Thanks, that does actually help out of into context and explains how we got here. I think the better question (and the one I should’ve asked) is why are we still using a system that predates the railroad?

As much as I hate to pin hopes on a hail mary like that, this is likely the only scenario where we will get voting reform to happen. The party in power has no incentive to change the system that brought them to power in the first place, so we’re basically gambling on an outgoing party using their last days of holding onto power to make it happen. Just writing this out makes me wonder how we ever got here in the first place. Who thought first-past-the-post was anywhere near a functional system to begin with?

It’s certainly a bit leading in question 1 and doesn’t explain the differences in question 2. I don’t think it was outright intended to influence people’s decisions, but it sure didn’t help either.

Couldn’t agree more. Politics (and politicians by extension) should represent the constituents, not force the constituents to fit into one of two camps. The whole system is backwards currently and the sooner we fix it, the better we’ll all be for it.

What boggles my mind though is that three consecutive pollings on electoral reform have failed here in BC (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/electoral-reform-referendum-results-1.4954538). You’d think people would like to get rid of FPTP but apparently they consistently vote in favor of the status quo.

It’s almost like a system that awards power on a winner-takes-all basis results in suboptimal representation of your population. Who would’ve though? /s

Personally, I think the first golden age ended with the decline of the shareware model that was used by many of the classics in the nineties.

Sure, it wasn’t the decline of shareware that ended it, but de decline of the model went hand in hand with the rising cost of development and longer development timeframes that ended the games boom of the nineties.

That’s my take at least. Might just be an old man with rose tinted (shareware) glasses.

That’s exciting - I’ll be keeping a close eye on this as it’s likely what will make me switch to Linux for gaming in the near future.

HORI has been around for a good whole, and they make what are arguably the best aftermarket Nintendo switch controllers.

The horror is in the fact that the system forces these kinds of choices on people. Any system that forces people to consider suicide to avoid bankrupting their loved ones due to medical cost is barbaric.

True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…

Thanks! Sounds like decent progress hady been made in this area already. I’ll keep an eye on this project so that when 24H2 drops I’ve got a way to avoid turning my headset into e-waste.
