Swede (not the vegetable) here. People with a victim complex will often take any reference to themselves that aren’t universal praise, as an attack/insult. Goes double for weird ethnocults.

They’re using a poorly made graphics engine and got scammed into implementing malware into their game.

I never pre-ordered anything. I saw a YouTube video of people having fun in a space game, and then I bought said space game, and played it.

I swear you guys are more obsessed with Star Citizen than the people who play it.

I think the people claiming this game is a scam, don’t know what scam means. I paid for this game years ago and sometimes I go online and have fun with friends or just drink beer and do cargo hauling to relax. Like any other game really. Early access or not, people are having fun.

Sunk cost fallacy? What cost am I putting in, and what am I expecting in return? This game cost me a night on the town years ago that would’ve been forgotten at this point, and gained me a fun space game.

The times I’ve had with this game over the years I feel is well worth the cost of dinner at an fairly upscale restaurant or a night out drinking.

Did I? Either my understanding of what “park” means in american english is off, or you need to work on your reading comprehension. For me, some stone steps leading down to the water, a bench and some trees does not constitute a park.

Obviously you would need to adapt to your climate. May I ask, what icehole do you live in? Alaska? North Dakota? Minnesota? Stockholm is rather warm compared to cities with similar latitude on other continents thanks to the gulf stream (Mil gracias, Mexico!).

I can only speak for Stockholm but outside of the parks there are plazas, benches and hangout areas out in the street (especially in the summer when many city streets close for car traffic), or just hanging out by the water on some steps. There’s also woods and fields in the northern part of the city with places for BBQ or picnics. Since the city is not built in a grid pattern there are plenty of awkwardly shaped places that wouldn’t make sense for a building where there’s just some trees and seating, maybe a statue or a fountain.

Finding a place to hang out has never really been a problem at any time in my life since everything is accessible by public transport or bike.

EDIT: Oh and there’s nothing wrong with being outside in the winter. Just bring a coat and thermos of glögg or Irish coffee. I always keep a seating pad in my backpack for wet or cold surfaces.
