Exactly. It also gives you an annual estimate of the electric costs. I have no idea how accurate it is, but since they all use the same rating, I can at least compare on the fly if I am so inclined.

Bastion clicked immediately for me. Pyre is an oddball (hyuk hyuk) but I actually did find a good rhythm there and fell in love with it. I replayed it a year or so ago on True Nightwing mode and it was incredible. They’re just so good at making defeat a part of the game and it makes the stakes feel way more real. I’d spend sometimes 15min before a match planning my team and talismans and have these absolute nail biter matches. I got so emotionally invested in it lol

If you’re like me, just get over your pride and play on the easiest difficulty/use whatever cheese is effective. It’s a beautiful game worth experiencing and if it requires you to completely leapfrog the combat then so be it.

Mostly seems a bit silly but I think if people were making any sort of large decisions based on it, I would probably raise an eyebrow. But I like the idea of people considering the environmental impact of everything they do. Crypto Bros sure could’ve used that lesson.

It’s not like it’s doing any harm unless people put too much stock into it. Like the energy star rating on my HVAC unit - it’s just information to me. It’s not like I’m making major decisions based off of it or getting the feel goods. No reason this can’t be like that.

It was always a great game IMO, nothing fundamentally changed about it. But I also understand what you mean. I bounced off it once or twice because the combat system is very, very different and I wasn’t sure I was getting it. Didn’t quite find a flow.

Eventually I just sat down and beat it, because it’s actually not a very long game. Like 5 to 7 hours. And the story/music/art is just unbelievable.

You don’t need to get great at the combat. Just kind of learn what builds work for you and be a little flexible when they’re not working.

Probably positioning. Land lines generally went the length of your whole face. The mic was angled and right in front of your mouth.

I’m just tired of watching people advancing the right’s goal of demonizing her because of her politics. Yes private jets are ridiculous. No I wish she wouldn’t use it. Yes I agree she shouldn’t have sent that C&D (though I also understand she probably feels like having her whereabouts constantly published is more of an issue now that the right has all these conspiracies about her, just my guess though).

But ultimately, this is mostly fueled by the right. People are just steering into that skid for some reason. This is about her more than it is her jet usage.

Transistor. Not pre-2010 but 2014 and checks several boxes here.

Same reason I like running retro consoles/hardware. The process itself is part of the fun.
