Man and it’s so much less hot, less heavy

Silksong on the couch!! It’s so damn good and so damn hard.

First of all, what an incredibly detailed and cool post. Thanks for that!

I don’t enjoy racing games much (though I actually raced cars and motorcycles for a decade, and then sim raced for a few years), but it’s a great reminder to re play wipeout and the old school burnout games.

I will say, on a similarish but different note, I loved Snow runner. It’s a “get stuck in the mud” sim with friends. Their recent sequel is… Weird? Closer to truck Factorio. It’s not the same game imo but I appreciate the fresh view

In something like Denmark’s case, I could see an argument. In the US? Rich people pay nearly nothing, so I think forcing them to pay taxes is a slam dunk

I hate this argument.

If they’re not paying their fair share of taxes then leaving is beneficial. It’s like saying “yeah but if you ask the thieves to pay for their stolen goods they might leave the store”

Imagine if you landed a job in Europe from a European company. You’d definitely not be able to go back

I agree that immigration is a big part of fixing this.

I think if the population (replacement rate )declines too swiftly, you have a lot of old people and few young people. At some point it become exponentially harder to even keep your last generation’s replacement rate, and you have spiraling population decline. See South Korea for the Speedrun.

If Japan steadily declines to 80M it could be fine. If Japan goes to 80M in a generation, that’s very very bad for the chances of there being any Japanese people left in a few more generations

Still hard on the Monster Train 2 grind

Ah man that’s pretty disappointing. I probably won’t buy it until then

Yeah, I totally get it! Very big difference to anyone with half a brain. But the current GOP could easily be seeing it as a checkbox instead of a huge reason for his winning the 1932 election

A key difference is that Hitler didn’t cause the hyperinflation.

I am irrationally hopeful that even most dumbasses who voted for him will realize that his policies fucked them, and can’t save them

Right, seems like a positive point not a negative one?

I don’t understand why the euro isn’t considered the best potential replacement for the dollar

Whatever flavor Lego game suits you is good too!

I mean the best refute of it I’ve ever heard is that the date changes in the middle of the day, and that sounds miserable

When I took a travel job in my early 20s I was handed some Canadian pins/luggage tags/etc for this exact reason.

I’m definitely still tempted to tell people I’m from Canada

You are what you eat

I have absolutely no idea. I wouldn’t know how to do it without a yellow card and that requires residence. Maybe there’s clinics?

It is. Come visit (but like be respectful please it’s nice)

Man i almost didn’t post this cuz I thought it might turn into a flame war.

Thanks for not being a stereotypical Redditor

batteries don’t like to sit on a charge continuously

I absolutely agree for traditional lithium ion batteries, but for lithium polymer batteries, a middle SoC is best for longevity. As far as I understand, it’s better to sit at ~100 SoC than to do full discharge cycles, again unlike older battery tech which absolutely wanted full discharge cycles.

If you wanna be gentle on batteries, it’s more about not rapidly charging them rather than doing charge cycles these days. So if the gameplay loop of optimizing your battery SoC is fun: do that, if not: I wouldn’t bother
