    Switzerland. Gruyère and vacherin cheese if possible. I swear the stuff they export is worse.

    Hi! I live in the region. Manufacturing is the same (it is a PDO after all) but you probably get younger cheese (5 months?) for export.

    Matured cheese have a stronger taste, which may or may not be the taste of everyone abroad. A friend from Norway had a revelation when tasting some propwrly matures cheese (all he had all of his life was bland Gouda and Jarlsberg at best).

    But I spied you post history and saw that your British, and I know you guys can have perfectly good strong cheese so... Look for aged gruyere? Or a better cheese shop?

    (For reference my fav is at 10 month ("mi-salé") but I don't mind eating older ones.)

    ... Or maybe you got French gruyere (oh the infamy).

    The color grading made me think this was a high-end Cyberpunk 2077 cosplay at first.

    One thing present on the Canadian bills that isn't in these Euro mockups is just the name of the person/building depicted. I don't know who all these people are, and while I could look them up, a name would give a much better starting point.

    I was surprised I could identify all but 1. Those are Maria Callas (singer), Beethoven (composer), Marie Curie (scientist), Cervantes (author), Leonardo da Vinci (renaissance man). Only the last I don't know.

    For what it's worth, Whatsapp sits at 1% battery usage on my cheap to mid Android 14. Telegram is at 0.25%, Discord 4%, Firefox at 2.55%, Harmonic (an app for the HN) at 1.9%.

    Eh, Playstation Portal is fine. But they kinda get a free pass since it's a major player (Outer Worlds vs Outer Wild is still a crappy situation)..

    As a mod, it's probably one of best, with excellent integration of the in game tools all around.

    But it's also one of the few VR game that made me seasick despite me having good VR legs (there's this ninja game where you do slides and somersault ; no problem for me). It's probably the uncontrolled relative movement of the big celestial bodies that triggers it. I remember being equally in awe and being sick being on the hourglass twin and see the sun moving.

    I have 1400 hrs combined between the flash version and rebirth. One thing that neat with Isaac (and definitely help with my playtime stats) is that it's a good game to play along some podcast or YouTube video.

    The item description mod or similar (does platinum god still exists?) is (was?) a must have though.

    Yes, but I didn't said it made sense for other people ! On a more practical sense I like the suggestion on the location bar to be only history while the one in the seach bar to be autocomplete.

    In practice I use duckduckgo bang command with the same effect (!w Beethoven for Wikipedia, !gh angular for Github, etc) but of course this is useful if you have a local and/or private website to search.

    UI-wise I lament that everything is shoved into a unique bar. I stubbornly refuse to fuse them because in my mind location bar == past and present (where I am, where I was) while search bar is where I want to go.

    Two eternities ago there was quite some activity around the idea of CLI-ing the Web browser. Anyone remember Firefox Ubiquity? It was kind of Quicksilver (the OSX launcher) but for the Web. Maybe with the current AI frenzy the idea of having small tools that you can call will come back.

    The scope seems enormous (even bigger than Yakuza 5), I wonder how the usual RGG modus operandi (reuse assets as much as possible) will turn out at the end.
