I'm playing Persona 3 reload. The "only one big dungeon" thing bothers me less than I thought. It's a shame that the daytime activities are also far less fleshed out than in P5 but I guess that was to be expected from an older title.

Anyway, it runs like a charm outputting upscaled to my living room TV.

I already got this tip and got a new cable. Sadly it hasn't improved. I really suspect the dock, but I'm too stingy to switch that out atm.

I play mostly in docked through a JSAUX dock on my TV. It has it's issues, definitely not as seamless as something like the switch.

Sometimes the connection to the TV drops and it goes black for a few seconds, sometimes the TV doesn't want to see the input from the deck at all unless I reboot both, sometimes my controllers lose connection for a few seconds. Some of which may be issues with the dock of course.

Also, performance is mostly good for pixel art and similar things. With a lot of 3D games I have to compromise between graphics and framerate.

It's a lot of money for something that only plays certain games well. So I would not recommend it to somebody with my use case.

Final Fantasy 7 (the original). With so many singing it's praises, I figured I should try and finish it once.

I just got out of the desert prison. I have to say, so far I don't really get the hype.

>If we tax someone at 15%, while the US doesn't they will take their business there (if possible).

Not necessarily. If that were universally true, all multinational companies would have their seat in the country with the cheapest taxes, which they clearly do not. There are other factors. But yes, it's one of them.

Anyway, what he **should** do is fight against the exemption for US companies, **especially** after Trump now wants to hit the EU with his 30% tariffs **anyway**, so it doesn't even get us anything.

Alas, he was, until very recently, a Black Rock employee, which is, you may or may not know it, a US company. He is also a far right neoliberal known for favoring corporations and the rich. It's very obvious that the US exemption plays right into his cards and dismantling the whole minimum tax, which is easily the single greatest multinational achievement since World War 2, was always on his agenda.

>To really change anything in the world you cannot be game-theoretically naive.

The global minimum tax isn't that. It literally wouldn't matter if the USA were in or out, because the broad global agreement means, if the Americans don't collect the 15%, some other country can and will. Trump just threatened the G7 into granting an exception, which could have been avoided if they had spines and took a stand.

What the should do is tax their fucking techbro companies already. People don't pay for Instagram and google, companies using their shitty spying ad networks do, so it would be killing two birds with one stone.

Yup, Heroic 2.17.2, GE-Proton-latest (should be 10-9).

Edit: switched to a way older proton, that seems to work (see edit in OP).

In Steam or Heroic?

Oh yeah, the Greek debt crisis moved her to tears so much she had to let Schäuble block any actual solutions and force the country into destructive austerity.

Can you guys please save your warm days for the start of August this year?

How can it be so hard for devs to just include some additional sets of glyphs and allow the player to switch manually? Then nobody would have this problem.

It would not save our industry, it would indeed doom it.

It also isn't an EV monopoly, new cars just can't emit CO2 after 2035. If you want to build a green H2 plant to burn that stuff in cars, you do you.

Of course it's relevant. We need people who **can't** charge at home (the vast majority) to switch to EVs.

And do you think this is sustainable if we acknowledge the need to reach net 0 carbon?

How?

I have been looking into this as I'd like to switch. My current car needs roughly 6.5 liters of gas per 100km, gas where I live is around 1.70-1.80€/l, that's around 11-11.70€/100km Somewhat reasonable EVs of similar size need something between 17-20 kWh/100 km, so break even should be between 55 - 68 cents/kWh.

Electricity at home is around 40 cents, so no solar roof required to save at least some money. (It's actually more like 30-35 cents if you remember that you need to pay the monthly baseline anyway since you need power for your home).

Public charging heavily depends on the owner of the charger, but you can find AC charging below 60 cents. (I hope we'll get some regulation against roaming costs between different companies at some point).

Fast charging is expensive and it depends on the individual use case if you need a lot of that. But gas on the highway is more expensive too, especially during holiday season (when a lot of people take longer trips).

But it's true that the advantage isn't as obvious as it should be, especially compared to the up front costs.
