PlayStation’s ‘Concord’ Did Not Break 700 Players On Steam On Launch Day
  • It's really good if you are into moba-type gameplay.

    Some people will compare it to something like overwatch, but it's really closer to Dota 2 with shooter combat. It's a cool mix of map-control/strategic elements of Dota with more twitchy aspects of arena-ish shooters.

    I've really enjoyed it, but then again my two most played games of all time are dota and tf2.

  • Reading habits in Europe
  • It can vary depending on the context, but essentially it just means that you can only read/write at a fairly basic level.

    For instance, imagine someone who reads at a 4th grade reading level. They can get through basic aspects of life, but get totally lost/overwhelmed if they are presented with anything more complex. For instance, they wouldn't be able to comprehend most official letters. (Thus is especially an issue in Germany since Amtsdeutsch seemingly tries to be intentionally complex....)

    They are effectively locked out of most modern jobs, because they can't parse emails effectively or formulate a fitting reply.

    It's also something that people are generally very self-conscious about and get pretty good at hiding.

  • Harris to propose up to $25K in down-payment support for 1st-time homebuyers
  • Yeah a similar policy in the UK (from 10ish years ago) is one of the biggest reasons for hugely inflated prices among small properties.

    Obviously, the only real solution is to work to lower real-estate prices, but that would be unpopular with most home owners (who are a majority in the US).

  • What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments?
  • Loading into World of War craft for the first time back in 2005 is probably the biggest.

    Seeing all the people running around and doing their thing was incredible. It made me super excited to go explore the world.

  • US colleges are cutting majors and slashing programs after years of putting it off
  • Not nearly as much of either. I went to both US and German universities and the difference was huge.

    In German university there was really only loosely-organized recreational sports. You know... for normal students to enjoy. Professional athletes start their careers at professional clubs (which are much more prevalent than in the US due to how leagues are organized) rather than at universities.

    In Germany there was also much less interacting with the administration. You basically only interacted with them when you started your degree and then once you could prove you were done. It's much more 'on you' to figure things out and organize things compared to the US.

  • German FDP reveals Plan for more cars and less space for pedestrians in inner cities
  • Yeah it's just that the transport ministry is arguably the single biggest opportunity to enact green changes.

    We don't know how the negotiations went (maybe the FDP would have refused to go into government if the greens got the transport ministry) but it feels like a huge missed opportunity.

  • Share of high school seniors that haven't drank, smoked cigarettes or marijuana in the past 30 days (1976-2021)
  • Also the world has grown increasingly hostile to young people. There is a constant trend towards there being fewer places for them to hang out, and it being harder to get around.

    In the US, often the only option to get around is a car and there really aren't many options of affordable places to go even if you have one.

    This wasn't as much the case 30 years ago.
