Agreed. I’m not looking forward to it either. I’ll be at work, most people are probably going to call in, and there will be hours of traffic when get off.
Best chance I’ll ever have personally. Live in the path, work from home, good time. Plan is to just step outside for a bit, look at it (with protection) then back to work.
Noticing a bit of misinformation here so let’s clear this up: take off your eye protection during totality. The corona is so faint you won’t see anything at all through eclipse glasses.
If your instance is any indication of location: there’s an eclipse visible in most Oceania and SE Asian islands in 2028. For a good chunk of Australia and NZ, it’ll be a total eclipse. For further info, check it here.
For me (South America) there’s one already in October, but it’ll suck from my region (14% coverage). And another in 2027 (~75% coverage).
The big difference is how close the sun is to solar maximum this year! The sun is at a point of peak electromagnetic activity, something that happens every 10 to 13 years, which is reflected in more chance of witnessing bursts of energy (flares and ejections) during the eclipse.
Me too, the clouds overhead parted just before totality and the corona was so dazzling and magnificent. I really hope there aren’t clouds in the way during this one.
We’ve had code modding by using thunderstore since release only new thing is paradox mod store and map editor. I did get a roughly 10% performance increase on my largest city. It’s still not where I want it to be but I’m glad it’s slowly improving.
I’m glad I skipped release day. Definitely waiting to buy it on sale after it’s been fixed with updates and DLC. Sucks to see companies treat buyers like testers.
I pre-ordered, but when they started doing damage control over how performance was going to be bad before the game even launched I sighed and cancelled.
80 bucks well saved. Still waiting for it to be fixed to pick it up. Do we have mods via steam workshop yet? I’m still annoyed at them pushing their launcher.
No they are not ysing steam workshop only paradox mods. The community is using thunderstore mods but I’m pretty sure paradox brought off the modders to ensure they move over to paradox mods.
Sure… I would also say that handheld design has gone way too far in the direction that the other alt-decks would have benefitted from going for just a little bit. The result is a pure no. There is no way you can make an all purpose gaming device without real buttons. And whatever core casual means I don’t think a megagimmick input system fits that description.
Nope. No. Nuh-uh. Stop fucking up this planet, then we can talk. I’m drawing a line in the sand, I’m going to become an eco-terrorist if I see a fucking Coca-Cola ad when I look into the night sky.
All I think of is the movie, The Time Machine. Spoiler, the main character goes forward in time and sees the moon breaking apart, causing a collapse of civilisation.
