Comment on What games have you been playing, and what's your opinion on them? in ~games

I'm only 1.5 hours in the campaign, but I'm not sure if I'll finish it ever. Maps and objectives feel very linear, UI glitches, overall bugs (I can't remap the F2 key for some reason??). Furthermore, I've tried multiplayer but the lobby system is crappy, and it also crashed on me couple of times.
In summary: a typical EA-game. -

Daedalus_1 Link ParentSo then we both agree I guess? You can still keep looking at old DVD's/books of Harry Potter you already purchased. Just don't buy new stuff.So then we both agree I guess?

Daedalus_1 Link ParentA lot of nice buildings from the past were built on slavery, you also don't enjoy looking at those? I get what you're saying, but it's too hard to draw a line here.

A lot of nice buildings from the past were built on slavery, you also don't enjoy looking at those?
I get what you're saying, but it's too hard to draw a line here. I'd say, just enjoy what she made in the past and be critical of her present/future work. -

Daedalus_1 Link ParentPachinko really is a must see. Honestly, it's the best I've seen in a while, unfortunately it didn't get any real attention.Pachinko really is a must see. Honestly, it's the best I've seen in a while, unfortunately it didn't get any real attention.

Comment on Thor Bjørklund's ostehøvel, a popular cheese slicer which developed into an important Norwegian export, celebrates 100 this year in ~engineering
Daedalus_1 LinkIt's also a thing in Belgium, but less so. I primarily use it because I like to buy my cheese in block (it also reduces waste).It's also a thing in Belgium, but less so. I primarily use it because I like to buy my cheese in block (it also reduces waste).

Comment on ‘Paper or plastic?’ will no longer be a choice at California grocery stores in ~enviro

Just bring your own container and that's it. People kept raging about this for a year: "But what if I forgot to bring my own bag!?!???!!!". Now everyone's accustomed to it. Going to the store? Ok, bring the bags.

Daedalus_1 Link ParentA lot of these "compostable bags" are actually only to be composted by industrial setups, so yeah, some greenwashing magic going on here.A lot of these "compostable bags" are actually only to be composted by industrial setups, so yeah, some greenwashing magic going on here.

Comment on Where environmentalists went wrong / It’s time for “effective environmentalism" in ~enviro
Daedalus_1 LinkIt still baffles me that people think that plastic straw bans are there mainly to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

That's not what the bans are for, it's mainly because of environmental issues (such as pollution of the oceans, microplastics inside fish, animals getting choked, etc). So yes, this article looks more like the author needed to rant, but instead he should've done more research.

Comment on My latest instrument, the fron2, on its first day out in ~music
Daedalus_1 LinkIt sounds amazing!It sounds amazing!
That game for me would be Gta V. I played every Gta before that, I got hyped up by all the teasers, and it did 100% live up to its expectations. It was the reason back then I bought a PS3. And now I'm looking forward to 6 ;-)
Off topic, but what's the appeal in Silksong? Is it the graphics, the storyline,...?
I've never played any game of them but looking at gameplay videos, all I see is a good looking platformer. Convince me to try it out!
