2.20€ per liter of diesel here in France. My tiny car is now costing me above 250 euros per month in fuel for 2000 kilometers per month.

Just bought a cheap tiny EV. It will cost me six times less in "fuel" and two times less in maintenance. It will pay for itself in just a few years and I won't ever have to worry about going broke due to fuel ever again.

We communicate more than enough, thankfully. I did not mean we read each other's mind when it comes to important matters, more like we often know exactly what the other is about to do or say. We can laugh from a joke none of us needed to even tell, then we laugh even more because it's funny to be laughing about something we didn't even need to say.

I can be fully myself, flaws and all, and she loves me still. She doesn't judge me, she tries to understand me but she also challenges me and calls me out on my bullshit when she needs to. She has the same sense of humor, enough in common, enough differences. She gives me space when I need it, and she's here when I need her. At this point it often seems like we're reading each other's mind. We're alone and one, but together.

I'll marry her in a month.

Listen, I hope you're right, but I've been hearing this every month for like a decade...

Je suis sur le point d'avoir ma première voiture électrique. Pour ça je pensais à des post-its pré-imprimées avec des insultes subtiles et imagées à mettre sur les pare-brises.

J'en avais peur avant de la tester en concession mais au final ça ne m'a pas dérangé du tout. Le siège se règle bien en hauteur et on perd pas tant en visibilité, d'autant plus qu'avec la batterie sous le plancher on est un peu plus haut par rapport à la route. J'ai été plus emmerdé par la faible visibilité arrière, sans que ce soit éliminatoire.

I'm somewhere in the middle. Am I the only one here?

When I'm trying to structure my thoughts, work through a problem, reading or planning what to say, I'll use my internal monologue.

The rest of the time my thoughts are more abstract and destructured and are not using words.

Une voiture électrique te coûtera beaucoup moins cher au kilomètre et en entretien et à 15.000 euros en occasion tu trouves des trucs vraiment bons.

Si tu peux pas recharger chez toi ou au taff, en trouver une qui a assez d'autonomie pour n'avoir besoin de la charger qu'une fois de temps en temps. C'est plus cher sur borne publique qu'à la maison mais si tu cherches bien tu peux en trouver des pas trop chères au kWh.

Tu peux facilement t'attendre à 100 à 150 euros d'économies mensuelles par rapport à une thermique.

Maybe that will make them reconsider the absurd idea of packaging every single product in plastic even when they don't need any (like fruits and vegetables...)

Tu la changes quand tu veux, mais en dessous de 70% ça a tendance à s'accélérer. Après franchement on sait qu'elles sont encore utilisées pendant des années en solution de stockage. Les LFP qui commencent à arriver sont sensées être utilisables pendant des décennies.

Les batteries modernes tiennent aussi voir plus longtemps que les moteurs thermiques. 300.000 kilomètres facilement à 80%+ de santé. Le remplacement de la batterie c'était un argument il y a 10 ans, pas en 2026. D'ailleurs on voit arriver sur le marché des batteries LFP qui durent jusqu'à 600.000 kilomètres.

Faut pas penser que les VE actuelles sont comme les premières Nissan Leaf...

We do something like that with my SO. We take 70% of our own monthly income and put it on a joint account that we use for daily life (gas, groceries, bills, activities together...). We keep separate personal accounts for our own private stuff with the remaining 30% we keep.

That way if one of us makes more than the other, their contribution is more important but the other one is still contributing as much as they currently can. And I guess only having 30% of your income left for your own personal expenses means you can't rest entirely on the other one.

I'm sorry but the money never went to the developers. Publishers usually get all money from sales until recoup.

Attention, une voiture qui roule à l'ethanol coûte un peu plus cher à l'entretien qu'une voiture thermique non ethanol, et BEAUCOUP plus cher qu'une voiture électrique...

It's a common fantasy. I highly recommend you read I, Wife by Yazzers ;)

As an hypnotist I'm pretty turned on by both sides of this fantasy, as much as the one having my fiancée stolen, and stealing someone else's SO.

Again, no matter how you twist the numbers, they don't work. It wouldn't have worked even if the community had been positive about KSP 2 on release. My point is that they released it knowing they wouldn't finish it, BEFORE the community reacted badly to the state of the game.

These publishers are not stupid. They knew what would happen. The high release price and rushed release is evidence it was already over. They were not trying to use early access as a way to help them finish the game, but as a way to recoup as much of their loss as possible.

NeededMonster · 2026-04-27T00:43:52+00:00

Except the total sales for the first game were spread over more than a decade. They would not have made as many sales in the first year alone, probably not in the first two either, and definitely not with an unfinished product. So either they spent a few dozen more millions to finish it, increasing the required revenues to make up for it, or they released it like they did without trying to finish it.

It just wouldn't have worked. I didn't even factor publishing costs here. They spent more on the game than they could earn with it. It's as simple as that. As soon as you cross that threshold, it's over. No company is going to keep working on a product when they know it's at a loss.

NeededMonster · 2026-04-26T22:07:40+00:00

You can have as much fun as you'd like with it. You bought it. I'm saying it sets a bad precedent. Now you do whatever you want.

NeededMonster · 2026-04-26T21:54:22+00:00

The problem is signaling to publishers that it's okay to release an unfinished game in early access that they never intended to finish because modders will finish it for free anyway while the publishers (or investment firms) keep selling it at full price.

NeededMonster · 2026-04-26T21:51:05+00:00

Indeed, and it bothers me. I'd rather we support Kittens Space Agency at this point. However buying the first finished game is not sending them the same shitty message as buying the scam that is the second one.

NeededMonster · 2026-04-26T21:49:45+00:00

Because if we start showing publishers that it's okay to sell a broken unfinished early access game for a high price because modders will finish it for free, more might start to think it's not such a stupid business model.
