We are but I’m gonna have my phone on vibrate cuz I have a shred of self awareness

I am new to Copenhagen and have heard that it’s been a pretty consistent growth in that direction. As someone who lived in the US for years, it feels really refreshing here because of it

I mean the DS was pretty radical at the time.

I feel like Nintendo does a huge innovation, then an iteration or two(or a bunch of little changes), then back to a big change. Wii/WiiU, GB/GBA, DS/3DS, switch/2

Wow that is a hot take

Aw man, that’s a bummer. Some of the better voices on F1 TV I think. Sam as well

With the new gateless skip it’s basically the same exact time. You clip right into the gate

I’d guess so, and that makes sense to limit the people wealthy enough to buy property and not live in Spain

Not saying you’re a rich landlord

“it’s current not voltage that kills you”

High voltage: “Por que no los dos?”

Oh, I think that largely depends where you live. Some places it’s much cheaper than gas or electric to heat your home. If that’s how you were already heating your home some water on top is easy

Do you have a fireplace or a stove for heating anywhere? My family always used a pan of water on top of those in the winter

Hm glass ceiling. Strasbourg?

It was the narrator from Actual Cannibal Shia Lebouf for me

Ah the link up there, The Room

I should also say, like when my friends and I start a big archipelago run it’ll take > 1 month, and we’ll have 2-5 games per person, and will have 10k total checks

Of course you can do way way smaller ones. Even single sitting ones for sure.

Yup! And then you make a config file (usually via the website) and it all goes together into a server (free on archipelago or you can self host) to make and track the randomizer.

So for OC2 – things like throw, usable joysticks, sprint, emote, faster washing/faster cutting, plates being clean instead of dirty, the ramps, and a few other QoL items are in the pool. Then you do stars (default is just 1/level) go get checks, and need more stars for more levels. Obviously it’s much easier with all your tech, and you can scale it however you want.

For some games, it can be insane amounts of checks. Like factorio or Stardew or StarCraft

I read Sweden, thought Sweden, and wrote Switzerland anyway. I blame a lack of coffee this morning.

Cool, some large cultural differences for sure. I don’t know how North in Sweden you were, but as a recent ex-par to Denmark– I’m finding Denmark’s winter to be very similar to how you describe Sweden’s. It is very relaxed though, work and socially. And that’s nice

Nice!

I wanna mention one of my favorite ways to game (especially asynchronously) with my friends

https://archipelago.gg/

Archipelago is a multi world randomizer, and Overcooked 2 in included in that and plays pretty well randomly!

For those curious, it’s basically “everyone’s progression items are strewn about everyone’s worlds”, so I might unlock morph ball for someone’s Metroid run in my hollow knight run, and they might find “throw” for overcooked 2

Oh man you’re in for a great time.

See if there’s a live showing of it near you. It’s kinda like Rocky Horror Picture Show? Cult classic, lots of audience interaction when shown live. It’s earnestly bad but that’s what makes it good

What are some things you miss in Korea about Switzerland, Poland, and Germany? Any things that you don’t miss?

Ah that sucks to hear. Surely you’re in the US? There are a lot of other countries where it’s great
