Does this mean we'll finally get decent gyro support in PC gaming?
Every article like this never had a coherent explanation why rents are so expensive.
Like yeah, people hoard investment properties. I get that. But investment properties get rented.
People don't pay rent as an investment.
Investment properties get rented out. So the laws of supply and demand function much more directly here: if rental prices are going up, that means there are people willing to pay those prices to live there and they can't find anything cheaper. That means there's demand vastly outstripping supply.
I'll believe we don't have a housing shortage and the problem really is just speculators watching their assets grow if the price to buy is skyrocketing but the price to rent is low.
Otherwise: no, the landlords and gougers are able to exploit people because there isn't enough to go around.
People don't hoard food, and when they do it's not really a problem, because there isn't a food shortage.
Nobody scalps tickets to my kid's violin recital because there were more seats than the crowd will ever fill.
Compare vs TP in 2020. And the chip shortage. And the baby formula shortage. I think the last few years have given us all a loud demonstration of how shortages impact pricing.
If you have a game of musical-chairs-for-cash and you have 4 chairs and 6 players, the price of the chairs will be defined by whatever the 5th player can't afford.
Add more chairs.
See, so many of the things below I can think of about games I was addicted to but wasn't really enjoying. Like, if I'm hearing the music while I fall asleep? That's a sign I've been playing it a crap load, but I also can think of many games that sucked me in chasing carrots and kept me up until dawn... but the actual fun parts were fleeting.
Games I actually enjoy have me grinning like a maniac once I start getting into top-tier flow with the actions available, like threading needles in a racing game.
Relevant SMBC:
Toronto Fire Services (TFS) told CBC Toronto that it has responded to 47 fires involving lithium ion batteries this year, 10 of which took place in residential high-rises.
Without clarification that this is specifically related to EVs, this statistic is worthless. I have 7 different devices involving lithium-ion batteries in front of me right now, and none of them are vehicles.
I've only just finished Chapter 1, but the cloaking mechs were an interesting challenge. That was more than just boss fights.
Mopping up MTs is a stupid waste of time, I agree, at least the ones that don't have high lethality weapons like bazookas. Bazooka MTs and artillery cannons are an interesting challenge, but there's not much variety there. Helis are never interesting foes.
The biggest flaw, imho, is that ACs don't feel different-enough, both to use and to fight. Maybe more will get unlocked further in the game, but I'm not seeing much variety in builds. You've got your homing missiles to cause stagger, your damage-guns to deal damage, and your swords and bazookas to punish people. Some ACs skip the punish-weapon and go all-in on damage. I'm missing the flak-bombs from the early games, the very different fighting styles of tanks and quads, the wider variety of missiles, etc.
Shields create an interesting tweak but I've only seen the riot-shield MTs and the pulse-shielded enemies -- I haven't seen any with the normal AC shield.
PowerStone 2. 4-player full-freedom game. Think Super Smash meets WWE games, but with pulp adventure theming (including a kinda stereotypical T-Hawk-style indigenous dude) and a vaguely Tezuka retro-anime art style. That and Virtual On Oratio Tangram (which is like if Armored Core was a fighting game) were reasons to own a Dreamcast for innovative fighting games.
That was BR2. BR1 was kinda distinct because instead of the bat lady it had a heavyset middle-aged warthog woman - most anime-styled fighting games only include female characters for T&A (like the bat lady).
It literally was affordable just fine when it was treated as an investment before, back in the '90s. It's always been treated as an investment. What happened is we stopped building enough of it.
If you stop making enough food, people starve.
If you stop making enough housing, people go homeless.
Population growth of adults has gone up, while housing production of bedrooms has gone down.
I don't get why this is complicated.
I thought the pandemic gave everybody a very harsh lesson about what happens to prices when we stop making stuff (two words: chip shortage) but I guess lessons are hard.
The ER committee laid out options for the Government and made the following recommendation:
Recommendation 1
The Committee recommends that the Government should, as it develops a new electoral system, use the Gallagher index in order to minimize the level of distortion between the popular will of the electorate and the resultant seat allocations in Parliament. > The Government should seek to design a system that achieves a Gallagher score of 5 or less.
Recommendation 2
The Committee recommends that, although systems of pure party lists can achieve a Gallagher score of 5 or less, they should not be considered by the Government as such systems sever the connection between voters and their MP.
That means that STV (which is multi-member ranked-ballot with large ridings), MMP (local ridings with a regional proportional fallback), and the urban-rural hybrid (cities get STV, rural areas get MMP) were all on the table as options. The Liberals just flipped the chessboard because the committee didn't recommend their preferred ranked-ballot-instant-runoff-single-member system.
Open-list MMP with ~12-member regions would be an excellent solution for Canada.

Adulthood is when you realize nobody else is going to do that for you.

Realize you're not just procrastinating about the things you have to do, but also the things you want to do. Be ready to start blocking sites like Lemmy and Twitter and Reddit on your phone because those things are neither work nor fun just time-filling.

Talk to your doctor. Get the the drugs. They work, and not only do they work they will make you realize just how bad it actually was.
I'm iny 40s and finally got help from a doctor about it after getting the runaround for decades.
Oh my God I am so retroactively angry.
