  • So they just compared averages/peaks and said “it’s just your perception being used to too hot weather, it’s not unusually cold”.

    Fair, but that feels very superficial. Was the temperature variation higher than usual? More/less rainfall or humidity?

    This is not to say our perception isn’t warped by climate change, but climate change isn’t just higher temperatures. Normal weather patterns changing, more extremes, etc.

    I don’t have the time or will to check on that, but I just feel making a 3 paragraph article on a complicated phenomenon as weather and climate is just a bit lacking.


  • I’ve also said this before and I’ll say it again: names of suspects and even convicted criminals should not be shared unless necessary*. That just makes no sense for rehabilitation as it opens people up for judgement in a court of opinion. Justice is the job of the justice systems and should not generally involve the wider public.

    Could there be issues with the judgement or other events where the only way to achieve justice is via the press? Sure, probably, but I don’t think the default should be that if I google the name of someone I can find if they or someone with a similar name (and god forbid, appearance) were involved in a crime.

    *: unless necessary here can cover cases like trying to find an individual on the run, or when their previous crime is meant to exclude them from specific lines of work, although even that should be on a need-to-know basis imo, not public info.




  • So I guess Kingdoms of Amalur-style combat but it doesn’t look fun or challenging. Story seems like it apparently jumps off of Inquisition which is fair but I could never be bothered to really play or care for that much.

    How they got to this from “serious dark fantasy RPG” I don’t know. I can see the obvious Mass Effect influences, but other than the cutscene conversations it feels weaker than even Andromeda.
