    Watch the end of ESA Summer and try to not melt in this wretched heatwave. My wife and daughter are away tonight so it's very peaceful!

    AC in homes is extremely rare in Europe. I don't know the exact figures but this article talks about the upswing of AC sales in Germany last year and it was only 200k units which is not many vs the population of Germany.

    In the UK I know exactly zero people who have AC and even offices rarely have it unless they are fairly modern. We simply have never needed AC over here, though those times are indeed a-changing.

    Of course our powergrid and energy costs can't even support widespread AC but that's another issue entirely.

    Damn, 42.6 C. That's just not right. I was complaining about the temps up in Northern Ireland but it's cold compared to that. Could global warming please stop? We don't have AC in Europe and we...

    Min-maxing was my jam back in the day. All the ways you mentioned but I also used to play my own game with healing meters. Due to Downranking I'd have 3-5 levels of each healing spell on my bar and try for 0-death + 0-overheal dungeon runs. It was actually very challenging! Always felt great when I pulled it off. Then they murdered Downranking and my little game was ruined.
