Learned this hard while playing alien isolation, especially since my night vision has been going to shit. My eyes were watering while I was playing, it was so dark
What I found is that videogames, are usually tailored to the eyes of younger audiences. Young adults and teenagers. Typical “playing in dark room with only a screen illuminating” stuff.
As I grow older however, I found that I need my rooms lights to be turned on to be comfortably plsy, with my screens brightness turned up just slightly. I also much appreciate features that help with vision impairment despite having an otherwise perfectly fine working vision.
The flavor of coleslaw varies as much as any other dish.
Fresh veggies and a tasty dressing? Awesome.
Shelf stable, premixed, and squeezed out of a bag at a fast food chain? Complete garbage.

On Wednesday, the North Carolina state House passed a new congressional map for the Tar Heel State. Since the map had already passed the state Senate on Tuesday, it is now law. (In North Carolina, the governor has no veto power over redistricting.)
The map is an amended version of Proposal CCJ-1, the less aggressively gerrymandered of the two proposals unveiled by Republicans last week. But it is still heavily skewed toward the GOP: It creates 10 reliably Republican seats, three reliably Democratic seats and one competitive seat in a state that former President Donald Trump carried just 50 percent to 49 percent in 2020. Democratic Reps. Kathy Manning, Wiley Nickel and Jeff Jackson have now been placed in reliably red seats, meaning Republicans will almost certainly pick up three House seats as a result of this map. They could even flip a fourth, Democratic Rep. Don Davis’s 1st District, which this map makes more competitive.
Thanks for the info, Wikipedia just needs an update.

I’m not from the US so I didn’t understand the importance of these comments. To clarify for others, North Carolina’s Senate is currently Republican majority, and the incumbent governor is Democratic (Roy Cooper). My source is still Wikipedia.

If you’re morbidly curious in seeing the other map proposed, it was CBP-5:
The shittiest thing is that they’re not actually good at it. We generally use compactness as a proxy for a gerrymandered district. However, you can effectively gerrymander using extremely compact districts. youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-Y7crQo44
This is terrifying, and a strong reason to move to multimember districting.
