  • I already had the motivation to drive correctly, getting upset wouldn't improve that motivation, just make driving more difficult.

    I pride myself on being a safe and courteous driver. We all make mistakes, especially when learning.

  • When I started driving again recently after a 20 year hiatus I was getting upset when I made mistakes; running stop signs, forgetting indicators, etc.

    But then I realised all I was doing was making it hard to concentrate, which could lead to more errors, maybe even a fatal crash.

    I quickly adopted this "Oops that was illegal but it's fine" attitude. Notice my mistake, and move on.

  • Samurai Shodown series has an amazing soundtrack. A mix of traditional Japnese sound, rock music, chaotic jazz, and ambient sound that barely resembles a song. The ending of 3 is my ultimate 'get pumped' song:

  • The fact that I read your comment and three songs started playing simultaneously in my head shows you might be on to something.

  • Free as in freedom (libre), not free as in free beer (gratis).

  • Thanks to the kind stranger(s) who finished off my "RICE LOVE" doodle (top right) while I was sleeping <3

  • We stayed in a few different places across BC and Alberta. I can remember they all had drip coffee machines, but I can't actually remember if they were equipped with kettles, too! That being said, the addition of drip coffee makers could have been for American tourists (I did make good use of them though).

  • I think it's a default item everywhere except north America.

    As part of reviewing a stay, Airbnb always asks if the place had a coffee maker. I've only ever ticked yes in the US, Canada, and Indonesia.

    (edit: I should clarify, it asks if there was a coffee machine, but it DOESN'T ask if there was a kettle, showing the US-centric app design.)

  • We can laugh and learn at the same time!

    Enjoy the meme, then go to the comments for some jokes and insight into a topic you wouldn't otherwise research.

  • Although I haven't explicitly heard anything, I kind of assumed, given the years it's been on my wishlist :D.

    I'll play it one day, but Dyson Sphere is still filling that hole for me for now.

  • SO many hundreds of hours spent playing the Q2 mod Action Quake. I heard they remade it and called it, uh, something like "Counter Strike"? Never got into that one, funnily enough.

  • Brilliant series. I enjoyed the combat and storytelling in equal measure. One of the few single-player games where I'd actually play the challenge maps, just because it was so fun beating up on mobs!

  • Plants Vs. Zombies!

    My wife and I just sat there like... zombies... for the whole day and night until we finished it, and then went to bed surprised and happy when we got our musical reward at the end!

    The Flash gaming era at it's best.

  • I know a few of the devs on this title but always forget about actually playing it. I think because it's story-heavy and I followed the development closely I feel like I've already played it :D.

  • For phone gaming may I suggest the PSP game Z.H.P: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman.

    Given it's a rogue-like there is a bit of grind to it, but it's a short game. What makes it a great portable game is that it is action, but turn-based, so you can think through your next move, and don't have to struggle with quick inputs on imprecise controls.

    Edit: Oh, and since you like Suikoden, maybe try PSX title Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. More story driven than combat, and the PSX version is the 2nd remake with many features added aimed at enhancing the story telling more than anything.

  • Factorio! That thing is never on sale...

  • Haha, same here! Now I'm subscribed, but not toooo disappointed I didn't know this community existed earlier, because I'm a patient lemmy user. I've conquered my FOMO!

  • Massive amount of methane released during transport due to seepage. Doesn't matter if it burns clean if you can't fully contain it until you get it to it's destination. Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas then co2, so the damage from leaks builds up quick.

    Also, burning it in the home is toxic and gives kids asthma.

  • Best thing about Japan. Many things go 'largest to smallest', such as

    • Dates
    • Names
    • Addresses

    And common use of 24h time time, too.
