There may have been a period in my late teens after I’d read an article about them running out of condoms where I wanted to become an elite athlete so I could go to the Olympics just for the fuckfests. Teenage me was obviously hoping to score with someone from the Brazilian volleyball team or something.

Well now, despite having the genes for it (and no, this is not a joke; I have more genetic potential for athletic performance than at least 90% of the population, as does my entire family, which does include Olympic athletes), I never had the discipline. But then I found a woman who I’m crazy about and this has lasted slightly longer than an Olympic fuckfest, so I reckon I’m not missing out on all that much. Though I suppose an orgy with a bunch of super fit people is never going to be in the cards for me, but I’ll survive.

There’s no shortage of homes in the US. They’re just being hoarded for their increasing value.

Obviously the languages are Estonian, Finnish, Latvian and Lithuanian.

Except for the Finnish + Baltic region, where the languages are actually Tagalog, Swahili, Navajo and the most popular option, x86 assembly for outputting the text of the episode in Haitian Creole. The latter is the most popular because of how insanely fast they have to speak.

I think most of us have a hard time finding anywhere to plant.

If you’re not a landowner, you’ll have to volunteer somewhere, but I’ve looked it up before and there aren’t that many opportunities in my country. The organization in charge of national forests has their own staff for it.

Ironically the best way to get into it here is to join a specific local fuel station chain’s “donate a cent per liter and we match, every 25 cents is a tree” community, which occasionally reaches out to members to help plant all the trees they’ve received donations for. So the easiest way to get to plant trees is to… buy fossil fuels???

I have two potential routes for one specific part of my journey home from work. One is shaded, the other is not.

The difference in temperature I perceive is MASSIVE. Maybe the difference in air temperature isn’t, but a couple of degrees difference in ambient temp + not having the sun actively microwave me adds up.

Similarly, even though most cars with cruise control have a cancel button, I always cancel via a gentle tap of the brake pedal instead. Quick flash of the brake lights to let people know I’m about to slow down.

Freedom in games adds more surface for bugs.

Many of us have come to accept bugs in games that give you a lot of freedom. Sometimes they’re even funny.

The real reason they get so many awards is that they actually put out a game that’s fun, doesn’t hound you to buy microtransactions, has good replayability, etc.

When it was released last year, there were articles saying “you shouldn’t hold other RPGs to this standard because (insert whiny reason here)” because other devs were legitimately getting scared they’d have to start putting out better games…

Might just be my opinion, but DLC in this game would’ve had to be what we used to know as an expansion pack. Think Age of Empires games where the expansions added completely standalone campaigns.

That’s true. I suppose nobody starts their own company right away, gotta get experience and capital first.

I believe the trades are actually pretty profitable as long as you run your own shop? I could be wrong of course.
