None? I’ve never really understood the appeal of ‘rewatching stuff’. My favorite movie(s) are the LotR ones, and I’ve probably watched it through… three times over my life?

bugs, in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

If you’re without an ac in Europe I highly suggest getting a simple window unit for your room. They are easy to install. Be sure to seal your door so the air doesn’t escape. Portable ac units are known to be very inefficient, be wary of those. Cold showers help in extreme circumstances. Block all sources of light. Blackout curtain or just some covers over the windows. Keep humidity below 60% if you can, dehumidifiers will help but larger ones will rack up your electric bill quick.

CarbonOtter,

The problem is that the windows might not be suitable for window units. For instance in the Netherlands our windows typically tilt or turn (like a door) open, they don’t slide up. The walls and ceilings are usually solid brick or concrete, so you can’t hide ducts in there for central AC. That leaves a split unit in one room or a portable unit.

Blocking the light made a huge difference in my house. I have are 3 small skylights on the south side that now have sun shades on the outside. They still let in some light, but it’s at least 5c cooler on the top floor.

Oh well, that sucks. Guess a portable unit would work in this case. Could just jimmy the pipe and make a diy block for the window itself. It’s just a simple tube that sticks out the window. Good to know a bit about them before getting one.

Here’s a great video on the topic

I recommended if you have a two floor house put a window fan sucking the air out on the top floor. It makes a huge difference.

hglman,

It really does.

If you're out and about, I recommend light clothes, something to keep some sun off (EX: a hat or an umbrella or parasol), and a folding fan (even if the air is hot, the breeze is still somewhat nice)

realaether,

An umbrella makes a crazy difference, I basically won’t leave the house without at least a lightweight one in summer.

Note not all umbrellas block UV equally though.

Air conditioners are the norm here so it is no problem indoor, and outdoor well we were born in it molded by it

Blizzard, in How much resources does Lemmy need?

Not sure how relevant will this be to your question but the admin of the instance I’m on is quite transparent with the server performance etc. and perhaps it’ll provide some insight. Also quite interesting was the fact that storage itself is cheap but the bandwidth fees are not (from the comments).

I still haven’t figured out how to correctly link to posts on other instances so I’m pasting a direct link hoping a friendly bot finds it and updates it: lemmy.zip/post/509553

I live in Florida and while this summer has been unusually hot.. it's not that bad. You just get used to the heat. Also make sure you have good A/C in your home & car lol

croobat, in What are your favorite "ugly" games?
@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

Some people find Slay the Spire’s art ugly. Personally I find it creative and original, definitely more personality than if it was just another pixel art game. 😁

dumpsterlid,

I don’t find Slay The Spire that ugly artwise, I don’t find it beautiful… but what I do find ugly is how terribly Slay The Spire uses screen space. It has an AWFUL UI in terms of using space intelligently for important bits of gameplay information and I would love to play it on mobile (I play other deckbuilders on mobile a lot) but I will never touch it on mobile for that reason.

croobat,
@croobat@lemmy.world avatar

Really? Why do you say so? I always found it pretty usable, in mobile some buttons being so near the edges can be pretty uncomfortable tho.

shapesandstuff, in What online games can be played by 2 users?

There are a couple of these war games, where you control a nation and expand, make alliances, break them etc to gain superiority. Similar to HOI but browser/mobile based.

Generally more than 2 players iirc but you can probably play together against the others

jaackf,

Do you have any links?

brunofin, in What series did you rewatch most often?

While I am not a huge fan of the idea of rewatching a series, me and my wife are rewatching The Office now, we’re already on season 4 or 5 I think.

Another one I could probably rewatch is The Big Bang Theory.

Besides that, I am actually trying to avoid spending the evenings in front of the TV.

cccc, in What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

I used to be pretty negative and aggressive until I realised that if I talked to anyone else the way talked to myself I would get hit.

Now I’m simple and encouraging. Generally a nice little “come on” followed by a simple “you’ll get through it”, “not long now”, “you can do it”, “it’ll be alright”. That sort of thing. If I ever had a coach for anything that’s how I’d want to be pushed.
