The trouble is at least in my country the infrastructure is just not there

When I read that I just assumed you’d live in some developing country or an extremely sparsely populated one like Canada.

But… You live in the UK?

Sorry, but can’t relate. Had that feeling for the first few trips until the first one where we drove so much more efficiently that we deliberately did not take the first planned stop. I rode shotgun, so I then looked for alternative spots to charge, just to see that there are so many in my country that having planned those routes in the first place literally doesn’t make sense.

Since then we just drive. Once we get below 50 km remaining range, we check some map app for the next charger. Like we did with gas stations.

Also, coming from practicality… it’s just so nice not to have to use gas stations. Like, you usually just always start whatever you do with a full battery because you just charge it overnight. No gas stops on my commute is quite practical.

Literally every single person that I talked to that seriously tried an EV (like, as a daily driver for some time, not just the rental you had for a day) said they were never going back to combustion engines.

Aw man… I consider Origins one of the best platformers ever. Legends didn’t tick quite as much with me, but still well enough for me to just read the headline and get excited.

And then I watched it and… what? They ditched the lovely 2d style? The unique look is now completely gone?

Hard pass.

You still explaining your analogy implies that you still think it’s applicable though. My point is that it isn’t.

So, I had an snes, which I loved, but my taste in games wasn’t great and my parents objected to violence, which means my collection is a bit weird.

One game I loved which wasn’t universally acknowledged to be great, was Clayfighter. It was essentially a Street Fighter clone, but the assets were all modelled in clay and animated using stop motion technique.

I think it got a lot of flak for being not well balanced and a little slow, so it kind of just didn’t stand out beyond the obvious classics of that genre, but man, I loved it. I couldn’t get Street Fighter because of my parents, but they were fine with clayfighter’s look and more humorous approach. At the same time, it still was a good beat em up, so I spent hours with it. Also, it kind of gave me an edge as SF2 was just the game everybody had, so at least I had a fun game to spend an hour with that people hadn’t played to death already.

The samples will remain burned into my memories forever. “The Blob Wins!!” Good times.

It certainly made up for its shortness by being hard as fuck though.

Except that in your analogy, the carpenter was working on his own passion project for free.

This is Wear OS, right? The Google smartwatch OS. That’s the company that made it a business to aggregate all the data in their cloud so people wouldn’t leave their services for convenience alone.

And you’re telling me that you think that the only way to get data off that clock is to take a picture of it before Sunday?

Europe was mostly Christian, too?

It’s just this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bOR38552MJA

Should we blame the government?

Or blame society?

Or blame the images on TV?

No! Blame stamina

Blame stamina

With all their empty little bars

And flailing hands so full of flaws

Blame stamina, Blame stamina

So inspiring.

I love it.

I love that this is how I find out about this.

Little miss what?

how do you add multiple pics on here?

Just add them to the text in your post.

But yeah, wipeout was awesome. Redout 1 really scratched that itch, including the music.

You wish… I recently heard in Germany there was more than a full day worth of electricity usage applied for in battery storage but doesn’t get permitted. All the while the federal government pushes subsidised gas plants.

That is like… half a car, if you count wheels and seats. Maybe a unicycle?

But what is hobby horsing called - is it “horsing” or “hobby horsing”?

I don’t really get it…

And what’s the ai stuff in your comment supposed to mean?
