    Did the Leaf come from the factory with a 50mi range? That’s whack, I remember seeing an eGolf with like 75mi while I was car shopping last year and couldn’t believe that would work for anyone who drives any appreciable amount of time or distance.

    The car I ended up with (2021 Polestar 2) has a nominal ~230mi range and that still feels pretty low compared to newer vehicles with 300+mi ranges.


  • That’s totally fair. It was not my intent to conflate people who aren’t willing/able to take on the burden of living their truth in a hostile society with people who just lack the ability to reflect on their situation, but I can see how you arrived there from my comment and I’m sorry to have put you in that position.

    I realize this maybe reads like some slop-generated apology but I swear that isn’t the case, it’s just my formal writing tone!











  • Not exactly what you’re looking for, but this reminds me of The Quiet Year:

    The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.

    The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

    The game occupies a niche somewhere between a ttrpg and a board game.





  • Dassault too. Solidworks runs like a dumpster fire and the backwards incompatibility is a daily frustration for me. Their ham-fisted attempt to pivot to online products is so divorced from the reality of how their products get used that it’s abundantly clear no engineers were consulted when defining the new product.

    The situation would be laughable if any of the alternatives weren’t also garbage in their own unique ways. Solidworks is only dominant because it’s the least shitty, not because it’s good.
