    When it comes to misogyny or rasicsm you wouldn’t tell someone to just try and do less of it.

    Idk, these are very different things. If I think about how much I hate (some group) then I may be a racist based on that alone. If I don’t consume animal products but I fantasize about eating a cheeseburger I would still be a vegan.

    Nobody is going to literally say “just do less racism” but in practice we often only deal with small parts of someone’s racism.













  • Its clear to me that you’re not really worth engaging with. But I’ll basically restate my point. There are a ton of really great games out there; you’re playing the wrong ones.

    • It Takes Two and Split Fiction. Two excellent split screen games that came out from one studio within the last 5 years.

    • Factorio. One of the best single player games I’ve ever played. There is multiplayer co-op but that’s not really the point of the game.

    • Peak, RV There Yet, and other games in the “friend slop” category. They’re not the best games ever but they’re pretty enjoyable and I play some of these at home with my kids, steamdeck vs PC. They’re just fun games.

    • Tape to Tape. I havent played it yet because it’s not quite my type of game, but it’s a roguelike hockey game that does local multiplayer (its not split screen if you don’t split the screen right?) or single player.

    • Bopl battle. This is kind of an obscure oddity but my son was playing it for a while. Its sort of an arena battle game like smash bros but different (of course). Supports not local multiplayer (like smash bros) or online play.

    • Battle Bit. It’s kind of semi-abandoned now which makes me sad, but it was a battlefield style shooter which was simply amazing for a brief period in time.

    • Age of Empires II DE. I hesitate to put this in here, but Microsoft reworked the original game a while back so it runs properly on modern computers and gave it just a little bit of a graphics improvement without killing the spirit of the original.

    • Minecraft. It’s still good even if it’s mostly seen as a kids game. Supports split screen still but that has always been on consoles only.

    These are just the good games I’ve been playing over the last few years that come to mind. There is a lot of trash out there but there are also a lot of gems







  • This is already happening TODAY (sort of)

    I saw an electric conversion on a floatplane at the abbotsford airshow this summer. I think it was a beaver. Super interesting really.

    Basically their use case was 30 minute hops and they had DC fast chargers installed at each passenger drop off. In the ballpark of 100-150kw using CCS plugs like on cars. They claimed that the recharge time was about the same amount of time as it took to unload and reload passengers, maybe + 5 minutes. They had some battery cooling system that had the cooling radiators and fluid on the dock so it didn’t have to be in the airplane.

    It’s a super niche use case but super cool. Here’s a link if anyone is interested.
