Nah 30c is "i wish it was socially acceptable to just walk around naked because I am fucking dying in a t shirt and shorts" weather.

40 is just that but worse

I hope I never have to experience high humidity 40 I might just keel over and die

30f is viable for shorts but only with a thick-ish jacket on upper body

Women can be creeps too. It's less common but there are still plenty.

It died from matchmaking. Skill based MM helps a little but you still get people with different goals in the same game. Back when multiplayer was predominantly player hosted lobbies/servers, it was easy enough to find others that want to play the same way you do. And the same player could easily hop between servers depending on current mood. Now you get matched with some randoms and have to just deal with it.

They cannot if you back it up to a folder outside of the steam directory. Provided of course the game doesn't use Steam's DRM.

I don't think I can think of a software where I find the menu more confusing than in MS office products. But then again I'm probably not using computers like the average person.

Ok, maybe blender, but that also has so many more options that it's not a fair comparison

Online activation requirements. Physical media going away is really just a symptom, DRM is the actual issue. Games have always been just a license, what changed is that the licenses are no longer transferable and irrevokable. (They might even still be legally irrevokable, not sure, but they can just shut down drm servers and you can't install).

Ofc DRM-free steam games or GOG games etc. aren't transferable either, but the main issue for most people is clearly that they might lose access.

Consoles could just include a feature to back up game install files to USB storage or NAS and losing disks becomes irrelevant, but DRM will always fuck the customer in the ass.

Yes but the temp mentioned was higher than that, so really we just all agree on this

I don't disagree entirely but removing clothing stops being an option at some point and if I'm expected to get work done I'll be far better at it if the temperature isn't making me miserable

I have spent every single one of the past 10 summers in a room that did not dip below 25C for a second over those months. Most of the time closer to 30. I still want to die at 25.

My heat sensitivity is definitely abnormal, but I still have to work just like everyone else. Though even our office with barely existent AC is cooler than my apartment at least. What's worse is that the office sometimes gets to 23C in winter which has lead to me wearing shorts whenever it's above 5C outside, because otherwise I suffer in the office.

This might surprise you but people's perception of temperature varies wildly. 25 degrees for me is fine without clothing, but that's not really an option in the office. I'll survive, but it noticably drains my energy and impairs my ability to work.

Conversely I could say anyone should be fine with 15C inside during winter, but a lot of people would disagree with that too I'd imagine.

That still doesn't excuse that level of wastefulness whatsoever. Oh no, a mild inconvenience!
