"VR in the 80s" is my go to analogy. Sooo many promises, such tantalizing potential.... and zero follow through

It can only be a good thing. Think of all that ice!

Are you kidding me!? I gave up on a playthrough on Monday because I couldn't beat the Nihilanth. There's a bug that CTDs during his final phase! I might give this a crack

My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the "bottom." I think it'll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it's not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I'm probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first

Thanks, that gives me something to go on! I realise I'm probably taking the hard road but, eh. Worst case scenario is a little wasted time and filament. No one ever learnt doing it the easy way anyway. If I get anywhere I'll report back

Invader Zim. Haven't watched it in years but I still quote it.

Did you even read the article? That's literally what they're calling for. The removal of subsidies.

As for everyone needing to pitch in, just no. The vast majority of emissions come from sources outside public control. The "everyone needs to pitch in" and "watch your personal carbon footprint" crap is just effective marketing from BP.

Not saying cutting down personal emissions is bad, every little helps...

but it's not a solution. We need to be holding the big emmiters accountable.

The only realistic way to doing that is through inconvenient protests like blocking roads and making sure we can't be ignored. How else do you force governments to turn on their benefactors?

It's been over 50 years now, and we've seen very little real movement on this. it's been mostly token and empty gestures, and pandering. It's time we stepped up our game.

Soooo she's got the right idea imo

I take your point, and agree when it comes to Google

But here's rabbit hole for anyone interested. That brand name being synonymous with the product thing is actually fairly regional.

We just call them tissues here. I think you can get Kleenex brand here, but I don't think anybody cares about the brand of tissue. There's a particular kind that has some kind of aloe Vera extract which is all I'll use if I'm sick, but I don't even know what brand they are.

On the flip side, we call marker pens Biros, and where I grew up we called them Khokis
