Strong disagree. There are amazing and varied dishes from across mainland China, and I am partial to Sichuan cooking myself. These Chinese food in Hong Kong is good, but I prefer to indulge in ‘soy sauce western’ food there for that unique treat. Nyonya food in Malaysia and Thailand is amazing, but more lighter and refreshing then say, cantonese food. The Japanese influence on Taiwanese cuisine again makes it unique and I find myself craving it often. There’s so much variety in Chinese cuisine I can’t say there’s a clear winner, I think it just comes down to what I’m craving at the time.
The only places I’ve seen trucks like the 2500HD are north America, Australia and Thailand. They usually have only one, or rarely two people people in them. They never have a significant load in the bed. Everywhere else uses vans and light trucks and gets along just fine…
My point was that they completely absent from most countries. My hypothesis being that if there was a common task these vehicles were particularly suited to they would be more ubiquitous. I can’t help but think their success is due to marketing and masculine appeal rather than practicality.
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.
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.
I’m in Indonesia. When the rebrand announcement happened I checked x.com and it was indeed blocked. But twitter.com worked fine (I mean, worked just like you’d expect a garbage dump to).
I checked a couple days later and it was the same. Now both work correctly.
If twitter.com got blocked it must have been for a very short period and at a weird time. I can’t imagine a redirect from a previously unrelated website triggering a block.
Digital nomad in Indonesia here. People are friendly, food is great, scenery is beautiful, and weather is cool but not cold this time of year. I wouldn’t live here full time, but I wouldn’t live anywhere full time (because I am a nomad!).
I don’t agree with many of the laws here but that is true of pretty much everywhere.
Took me about a week to get used to this kind of breakfast, from then on it’s been my preferred choice, on the rare occasion I actually eat breakfast these days (AKA when it’s free).
I’ve been on four cruises. They are great for visiting many hard-to-reach spots, like the Aleutian islands and Alaska, or low-population islands in the pacific.
They are terrible for visiting crowded, small cities, like European “old towns” like Venice and Amsterdam, where there’s already plenty of $15 flights from other major population hubs.
Easy to fit one ship load of people onto the large beaches of a small Vanuatu island. Hard to shove three ship loads of people through the Anne Frank museum.

Some great answers here so I’ll do something different and I’ll give myself as a real-world example.
As a young adult, through a twist of luck, I found a cheap place to rent, so was able save a good amount of my income. I used that saving to get a loan, buy property, and used that property to get a loan and buy a property, and then do it once again. A short while later I now have no debt, can sit on my arse browsing lemmy in Bali (exploiting geo-arbitrage), and live off the market-rate rents my tenants pay back home.
If my tenants didn’t have to pay market-rate rents, they too might be able save some cash and become capitalists themselves. I could lower the rent, but then I would have to get a job and actually earn my living again. People born into wealth can even skip that step of having to earn their initial capital.
But whats the point of owning income producing assets (like property, or business) if you’re not improving your situation with it? The ONLY benefit of the capitalist system is that it allows the capitalist to reap the benefits of other’s work, thus reducing the burden of the capitalist to work themself.
It’s a ridiculous situation, I should not be able to live as I do, simply because I got a lucky break at the start of my working life, an opportunity that is given to the very few. The system should change.
I know a lot of young people these days that have to live in crowded share houses because there’s nothing else they can afford in the area where they work, and still 70%+ of their income goes towards rent and board.
Where I’m from, the cost of living has skyrocketed compared to when I was starting out, but the wages haven’t changed. I’ve benefited greatly from that due to capital gains, but it makes it a lot harder for Gen Z to achieve the same thing, even if they do scrimp and save. I can understand people being demoralised and living for today instead, as it seems impossible to improve your position by much.
EA have their games on Steam and Origin and have for years, Blizzard could (and will) have their games on Steam and Battle.NET. I’ve seen nothing to suggested they were unable to put their games on Steam, but rather decided it wasn’t in their interest, given Steam’s TOS and/or what they could gain from having their own marketplace.
Steam is being sued by Wolfire for antitrust, but there is no outcome in this suit yet. Unless you’re referring to a different suit I don’t know about.
Even if Valve loses this lawsuit, it doesn’t meant they have to allow any specific products from other companies on Steam. It just might mean a reduction in fees, or an inability to sign exclusivity deals (which are common across the industry, weather you like them or not, and I know I don’t). The Wolfire antitrust lawsuit is because they sell other companies games on Steam, to the point that they dominate the marketplace, not because they were stopping other companies from selling games on Steam.
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.
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!
I.e., games that hooked you in and you couldn't stop playing until it was finished. Not games that just happened to be unexpectedly short. And by "completed" I guess I mean the main story etc, not 100%ing the game :)....
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!
