I mean, I’ve always considered this a really cool idea for a sci-fi/fantasy story. Problem is the people who tell these stories believe they’re real.

Well, yeah. Racing games, platformers, and action games are generally more comfortable with controller. Third person shooters, FPS, anything that requires aiming, or RTS games are still best done with mouse.

I just buy a large bottle of 3-in-1 shampoo + bodywash that smells reasonable enough and call it a day.

Switch emulation works pretty great. But be advised; there are problems with getting Mariokart 8 Delux splitscreen working; the game tends to soft lock on the controller applet. Rayman Legends the complete edition has no such problem and I’ve had a blast playing with my family.

PlayStation 2 works great and can even be pushed to render games at higher than native resolutions. I’m currently playing Spyro The Eternal Night and Ratchet Gladiator.

Since it can run PlayStation 2 that good I don’t see any problems with the Deck running GameCube or Wii games… Except for the instances where Wii games may need motion controls.

PlayStation 3 requires fiddling with the settings on a per-game basis. And then still you’ll probably have to downscale the native resolution and limit the framerate on games to make them run well. But the PS3 emu comes with FSR built in and I can’t really complain.

He seriously believes there’d be less tourists if that turned out to be true?

Well, let’s see…

Time in your local frame of reference slows down the closer you are to a gravitational force. This will give you the perception the rest of the universe is going much faster. However, you’d need a pretty strong gravitational force to notice any effect of it.

A black hole is one of the most powerful sources of gravity out there, but if you don’t want to waste millions of years travelling to some far away celestial body, you can find an even stronger gravitational force much closer to home:

Your mum.

Now I want to play LEGO Racers again. I recently got LEGO 2K Drive from Humble Monthly but… It’s not really the same…

“Because” is spelled wrong.

No. My genius is so vast it boggles my own mind. Sometimes it scares me.

Read books, read newspapers, chat on the land-line phone for hours.

Before the cliché of everyone being with their faces in smartphones there were clichés about husbands who do nothing but read newspapers all day, or teenage daughters that massively inflate the phone bill because she’s talking with her friends for hours, or children with square eyes watching brain rotting cartoons all day.

You are very much missing the point for the sake of a pedantic argument.

Someone else already perfectly illustrated the point in a comment below, so I guess I’m spared the effort.

Welp… There goes physical media…

Scandinavia has always been very left side, so it comes to low surprise to me that the left won the European election in Denmark, despite the right trend in the rest of Europe.

However, I will add that right wing Europe is still pretty left from America. Take Geert Wilders, the new guy from the Netherlands. The policies he wants to enact are stricter laws, more difficulty for immigrants, a stronger police force, street curfews for teenagers (real old man yells at cloud energy), and withdrawal from the climate agreement. All very right wing.

But… He also wants better funding for hospitals and schools, higher wages for nurses and teachers, more robust free healthcare system, hard caps and regulations on the increasing housing prices, more affordable housing, a more efficient and cost effective energy grid. If an American politician starts talking about these things they’ll be called a communist!

Yes I know nearly every country has elements like this. But in the US it’s a bit more than just some elements.

I can see it in American advertisements, TV series, movies, political speeches, and a lot of rather loud opinions.

Well let’s see… 9 USD is about 62 DKK.

Honestly… Not bad. That’s about the same price as a sharawma box here in Copenhagen, maybe even a little cheaper, depending on the quality. If I want to buy a burger from a food cart, just a single burger at the street food place near the Nørrebro shopping center, that’d be 85 to 90 DKK, which is about 13 USD for a burger.

The Iranian food stand sells food for 120 DKK per portion, or 16 USD. Pizzas in the neighborhood are between 90 and 110 DKK. A single durum shawarma is about 70 DKK. You get the idea.

Depending on the quality of the spaghetti, I’d go grab some regularly. Compared to what I’m used to, that’s a pretty decent price.

Of course, McDonald’s and Burger King are cheaper, but… That’s just trash. Some real trash.

At this point, is being American basically a religion? Such weird cult-like displays of patriotism…

Really? Because every time the weather in Finland goes about 10°C I hear my Finnish friends complain like it’s the apocalypse. XD I’m just glad Denmark is having a decent summer this year.

Europe is far from being communist. XD

Unfortunately, when America farts we’re all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that’s rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.

It’s very difficult to avoid comparing right wing America to fascists when they have this much of a problem with Maus.
