Side note


At first I wanted to go right back to the Disco Elysium to play it in different way. But I was quite happy with the ending I get, and I would not like to see it in “bad cop” version. Plus I don’t want to spend next 30h replaying the game game straight away. So it will need to wait.. for later.

We have snow in UK. Like actual snow, not pitiful 3cm of snowfall that we had before. Which melted on the same day. Now it’s 3rd day with a snow outside. And it’s not a catastrophe, like some people were telling me before I came here. “Schools are closed when there is even a bit of snow”, “public transport shuts down”, “not possible to go to work” they said. Bullshit xD They surely have more problem inland in more rural areas, but London is perfectly fine.

Snow is surely less of an enemy to the trains than swans are, as when swan was on the track trains were cancelled for 2h. Normally you’d just kick swam in the butt and chase it off. But noooo. Royal Animal. So they can’t simply chase it off. Which means disaster on the whole line :hehe: Shows what happens when religion or stupid tradition is more important than rational thinking.

Q09066930

It’s funny to see how people react to extremely low temperatures and snowfalls in Warsaw, where both these things are rare. I am from Kyiv where every winter looks like this, so it’s no big deal to me. I mean, yeah, I remember times when everything got closed due to weather but it was lower than -30 ℃ for a week. xD

We do from time to time have -25 or so in Poland, but it’s rare. Normally it’s like -5 or -10.

Looks like you’d laugh your ass off in London. It’s -1. -1 and people are like “omg omg it’s so coldddd. I can’t feel my hands”. Then they look at me and are like “you don’t count, you’re from Poland” :D

Q09066930

Yeah, -1 is like a warm weather for Februaries in Kyiv, lol. Anyway, I feel like these numbers don’t do justice, because -5 in Warsaw and -5 in Kyiv can feel completely different. There might be warm winds in Warsaw from sea from time to time, and they make the weather softer. In Kyiv, there are usually no warm winds in winter, only cold ones. And they can make -5 feel like -15. So, the numbers might be similar but the overall perception of winter is a little different.

Mskotor

Ye, sure. -5 in London will feel different than -5 in Warsaw. Air in Warsaw will be dry while the one in London is wet.

Poland is in general weird, as it’s on the border between continental and sea climate. So we may have -5 with wind from sea that makes it warmer, and -5 with wind from Syberia that makes it feel really cold.

Oh nooooo, who would kick a swan in the butt! (There might just fall an egg out, if you do that! O.O)
Oh, but snow sounds nice! I actually think I once had a bit of snow while being over, but nothing too fancy. Enjoy it while it lasts :3
(Maybe… show some London snow pics? <3)

Happy gaming xD

Well obviously no one, that’s why trains are delayed and people are losing their jobs!

I think 1st photo this was after 1st snowfall. Don’t expect something as heavy as in Netherlands :P London is warm city and close to the sea.

2nd photo is not mine, but from guy from Yorkshire. It’s way up north, so they have more snow.

Damn, bad Swan! O.O

Oh, neat snow pics!
I should ask my aunt, she lives in Sheffield and her bf in some remote place. Bet he’s freezing his ass off atm! o.O
Hey, even I had snow on my tiny balcony \o/
But then they said we would get a snowstorm, but luckily it went further south.

Mskotor

I saw cat photos on here from the balcony :D

ninglor03

Ah, I moved. I now have a new balcony - tinier -, but no cat on balcony photos from here yet. Too cold xD

Traqie

game shows different society concepts - liberalism, democracy, socialism, nationalism etc. without painting one as “the good one”

I am very curious to see if they actually managed that. I guess it’ll differ from person to person and what views you have

I am quite happy with the winter here in Upper Silesia, it’s been years since it snowed like this and actually lasted for more than a day.

Also my apologies for having to live in London.

Well I obviously don’t agree that fascism is the way to go, and followers of the “one true race and sub-humans” should not be walking freely. But game don’t show those NPCs are ostracized, or that their way of thinking is “bad”. Just like “everyone should be in the company board” approach of communists is ridiculous, or “if you don’t work you should die” of ultra liberals. It kind of shows biggest flaws of all the systems but don’t show to player that they are all (or just some) bad. At least IMO.

There is ofc “boring center” option as well, for those that don’t want to identify with any of those more radical options.

I remember :D And I wish I could have time off now to see proper-proper snow. I did not see it in ages. But with quarantine etc. there is no point to travel now.

Lol. Well at least it was moderately easy to find a job here. No idea how market will look like after COVID. Restaurants and hospitality are already half-dead, so there may be big group of people that will be jobless soon… They closed borders for immigrants though, so they may find job somewhere

Oh neither do I. But in currently ONLINE sphere, it feels like everyone is either a reactionary or some type of communist lol. And I feel like indie game devs and their games more often reflect the online sphere rather than more centrist positions that most people have IRL.
