Fantastic news for the devs!

Is this a map from the medieval era lol

It's from America in 1965, so basically yeah.

Realistically, we're already past the point where renewables are cheaper than nuclear, so it doesn't make much sense to go into it now.

20 years ago would be a different story.

Yeah, I think you are right in that idea. Realistically they will be clumped in high wind areas within that 5000km².

One turbine for every 12.5km²? Seems like a pretty reasonable spread accounting for space in between and geographical features they may have to avoid.

I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

So people are morons?

Don't want this to come across as defeatist, because the message is nice and Ursula K. Le Guin is a real one, but there's still 43 monarchies in existence in 2024.

I agree with your point about teenagers work interfering with their schooling, but that's not quite correct about the mandatory age.

It's only mandatory to 18 in New Brunswick and 17 in Manitoba.

In the rest of Canada the age is 15 to 16. (16 in Saskatchewan.

Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. I don't really know the difference between a town and a tiny village I just meant there are way too many names.

Could've done with a few less to make it a bit clearer to read.

 

We've all got one. That pile of books waiting to be read, some of them surely doomed to linger for years as other more enticing novels are selected instead. What's in yours?

 

I'm not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I've enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly satisfying.

Anyone else hopelessly addicted to joker poker?

 

The massive 10 book epic fantasy series is a classic of the genre. If you've been interested in the series at all, this is the cheapest price I've seen for the whole lot.
