    I’m living in Vienna, having grown up in this city. I can assure you that while the city has grown, it actually put a lot of effort into primarily increasing population density instead of growing into the countryside (well, they have expanded too, but not by much in comparison to the population growth). The extra heat does not come from more concrete here - Vienna is one of the greenest large cities in Europe, and with lots of forest surrounding the west and the river going through it is a pretty privileged situation overall. Also, this year for example i can count the amount of days below 0°C on one hand - i haven’t seen ice in any meaningful amount. All together i’d say our temperature window has shifted by around 10°C upwards since the late 80.

    Edit: Just looked it up, it really seems like the average didn’t move as much as the temperature maxima/minima.

    i’m mid 40s in central europe and can clearly remember that summers were around 32°C max in my childhood, last 2 years we had 40°C. I can remember winter being a lot colder, regulary freezing the Danube river for extended periods, allowing skating - these times it’s a bad idea stepping on the thin ice that never freezes over completely. And i can clearly remember huge amounts of insects, making a mess of the windshield when driving - nowadays the windshield nearly stays clean. The boomers are lying to themselves, because the truth is too hard to acknowledge.






  • I must disagree - i am socially liberal, but i can plainly see that capitalism does not move us forward and is actively harmful at this point. There are areas where a tightly regulated free market has it advantages - not every area should be centrally planned, and i am not a proponent of abolishing private ownership. But i am very much for much stronger regulation and state ownership for the areas that are important for the populace and social peace, like energy, healthcare, pensions, housing, military, everything judiciary and basic food supply. Everyone should be able to have a life that is worth living, and the state does not have a say in anything social outside of some basic tenets - intolerance is basically outlawed, except intolerance towards exploitation or intolerance. There are of course many other important things that i can’t even start to think of, but noone is asking me anyways - but you see, social liberals are inherently left wing if they actually are social liberals.

    Not every liberal is right wing - liberalism can be differentiated into social liberalism and economic liberalism, a point that is sorely missing in every US-centric discussion. Social liberalism is inherently left wing, and therefore their criticism of communism has a different reasons than the right-wing position.



  • I am currently playing Witchfire, a Early Access purely single player 3d Shooter with randomized elements and a touch of dark souls and extraction shooter.

    You play as a Preyer, an undead anointed by the Pope to hunt Witches in a war where the Church is on the losing end. The levels themselves are static, but the placement and types of monsters, treasures and so on is randomized - they change if you level up, meaning as long as you don’t do that, you can try mastering a specific stage. Dying is a lot like Dark Souls - You get one chance at a corpse run, but only your last death is recoverable. (It’s nice that even in death you keep progression-related items you picked up tho)

    I’m really having fun, the game has an excellent atmosphere. I read a part of their dev team are ex-Painkiller devs, and you can feel that movement & combat wise.
