all of you are going to jail

in many european languages, the word “extra” (as in a background character) translates as “statist” or some variation thereof.

because it’s better

interestingly the one i was next to was one of the first to use the evaporative cooling tech most of them use now. it was developed partly at my university.

that’s why i mean it’s the same thing. don’t build them near people. we know ground-transferred infrasound is bad for your health.

as for louder, idk. i worked next to a facebook dc for years, it was eerily quiet.

apparently low-frequency noise causes heart rate variations. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97107-8

the conclusion is the same for both things too: don’t build them where people live.

i’ve heard it a lot but never put much stock in it until there was actual research: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-97107-8

so same thing as for wind turbines then

Edit: as in, they should not be built where people live because you can feel the vibrations and it has a measurable effect on your vascular health. i linked a paper.

yeah, it’s definitely more insane. but i think sr2 is the best in terms of representation.

this seems more woodpecker-coded

yeah we can only do what we can, and not managing to be some kind of enlightened super-being isn’t a personal failure. that’s just life.

catan is what got me into board games, and i’ve played it quite a few times. it does suffer from being one of the earlier entries in the current “renaissance” in that there is not a lot of player interaction and what there is is disruptive. that said, it’s still a good intro to the meatier stuff.

my recent plays include Skull, a 5-minute bluffing game; Earthborne Rangers, a cooperative adventure where you walk through a big forest and help people with their problems; Mind MGMT, a 4-v-1 hidden-movement game where a team tries to find a spy; Ark Nova, where you compete to build habitats for endangered animals; Codenames, where two teams try to puzzle together related words; and Root, where you play as cute forest animals embroiled in a violent conflict.

there’s so much out there now that you can basically just pick a theme you like and there will be like 15-20 games about that specific thing.

people usually say that “there is no ethical life under capitalism” isn’t an excuse for being a consumer, but i’ll go the other way and say it is an excuse. because when you’ve been born into the system you have no choice but to participate, and that means you have to live with two conflicting ideas in your head: “the system must be destroyed for us to survive” and “i must use the system for me to survive”.

and i know you’re a clever gal. you know that catan is not a driver of neocolonialism, just like you know that monopoly isn’t responsible for actual housing crises and that risk doesn’t start wars. they are not the system. they are just of it. like you. so go play. have fun. it’s the best thing we can do for ourselves.

oh like viewfinder

big fan of ayn rand, social darwinism, and materialism.

so did he, but with shitloads of pseudoscience, materialism, and social darwinism. even laveyan satanism wasn’t a religion.

idk lavey was a pretty icky dude

i bought my AM4 mATX board in 2020 for €60. claiming $200 is “entry level” is just bull.
