That no matter what scientists and engineers try, when combusting fossil fuel, the exhaust smells like a terrible latrine.

I think that would spur a quick response from everyday citizens as to what they heat their homes with, or how they get around their cities.

It’s a bummer that the government wasn’t able to stop the recent acquisition of activision, but hopefully that cooled Microsoft’s eagerness a little.

As a Canadian with a similar legal system to the UK, I’m shocked reading about the judicial overreach of the UK government and their attempt to squash dissent.

It’s been over a decade of torie rule in the UK. It’s hard to imagine what would be required for enough people in the UK to vote them out if it hasn’t happened yet.

For me, it’s 100% your first bullet. It looks like a fun game but no way am I paying $80 Canadian for it.

Aww man! Thanks. I played this as a kid and completely forgot about it. What a blast

I think it’s an interesting product but not likely to be cost effective in areas that have reliable power. It’s also not likely going to reduce emissions in areas with low to semi-low CO2 electricity production. I imagine their sales with either be to people who want more energy reliability or to people who are misguided in to thinking it will reduce emissions over there local power supply.

Particularly since the lifecycle emissions of distributed systems like this are inevitably higher than those of a centralized system (and more costly!)

Any recommendations as to which of the three games is best? I’m likely only to play one of them as three full games is too much of a commitment for me.

As a 38 year old who used to game a lot but stopped about 10 years ago, the steam deck has rekindled my love of gaming. The accessibility it offers, particularly with indie games has been wonderful. The deck is a more open and budget friendly version of the switch (to me at least).

I find triple a games try to do too much, combined with their virtually insatiable hunger for maximizing profit (through dlc, in game micro transactions, loot boxes, etc.) really turns me off of them.
