I, for one, welcome our new Iberian overlords

This was originally just a map of the Great Lakes system. Someone added Baikal and Titicaca to it later for comparison.

The Culture novels are... what?

Gerrymandering goes brrr

It's Denmark's war to lose then

The thing is, there's just so much stuff on Steam that even if you only care about the crème de la crème (hell, even if you only care about a specific genre), you'll still find yourself with a wishlist longer than you'll possibly have the time to play. I often go "ZOMG! STEAM SALE!!!" so in my case it's slowly becoming a backlog but I do intend to play everything I buy.

Your words do not hurt me, I'm already used to being a diappointment.

“This would bring big changes to the climate and ecosystems, including faster warming in the southern hemisphere, harsher winters in Europe, and weakening of the northern hemisphere’s tropical monsoons.”

Short answer: no.

Long answer: nope.

The title of the song Why Don't You by Gramophonedzie. I heard the song playing on radio a long time ago, probably probably around the time it came out in 2010. I didn't know the lyrics nor the artist and eventually forgot about the song. Then, many years later, I heard people saying good things about a certain Fallout: New Vegas and decided to play it to see what the big deal was. Well, the game has radio stations you can tune in and to my surprise the original song by Peggy Lee which Gramophonedzie remixed is in there. I heard it and instantly thought "...wait, could it be that song?" Well, it was, and I have to thank F:NV for that cause I don't think I'd ever have found that song otherwise.

What's the point of paying for YouTube Premium if you get ads anyway?

As far as I'm aware, the big "problem" with Mastodon (and the Fediverse as a whole) is that you have to choose an instance to join. It's an aditional step that mainstream social media does not have and it's already enough to push regular people away. It's kinda like trying to convince a Windows user to jump ship to Linux, by the time you begin explaining what a distro is you've already lost them.

Only if you assume a person can't possibly have different political views from their parents'. It's certainly more difficult, I'll give you that, but it does happen.

Pretty sure we've had that as well

Huh, I thought this would be about a new device. I guess Anbernic's release schedule has spoiled me.

I do not envy any insect going into battle against ants. Do the ladybugs even stand a chance?

My understanding is that the dish isn't actually solid but rather a metal mesh.

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

That doesn't mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

And just for the sake of completion, yes, it also has an Epic store page.

There's a bright side to the ZA/UM mess though: since the team that worked on Disco has split into a bunch of new studios we're getting at least three spiritual successors instead of Disco Elysium 2.
