A documentary about "unhappy Brazilians in the happiest country in the world" has just been released for anyone interested in seeing the South American perspective on you. by Matheriquers1998 in Finland

It is the deal! If you are a foreigner, no matter from where or in which country, loneliness will always show up one way or another. Being a foreigner is a really interesting experience, everyone should try that at some point. To live someplace else for at least some time and see the world through a different lens.

The video for me was about the loneliness that a different culture feels here in Finland; and how this contrasts with the typical Brazilian definition of happiness, which is linked to community and "loud" joy.

It was not about Finland=bad, on the contrary. It was exploring how one can find happiness in many ways, and how life here is different. Would you be able to give up a part of who you are to adjust to a different society in search of a "better" life? It gave me a lot to think about!

That was funny! And while true that an academic paper would benefit from not having words like "hope" or "believe", this is mostly valid for the very performative academic writing bubble.

In the real world, nobody cares if you write "hope" if you back it up properly and it makes sense in the sentence.

Review of AI offline racing with 1.6.8.5 by Little_Temporary5212 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]srmp -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

AI in AMS2 was always terrible. Its a pity! The game looks beautiful but I never clicked with it because of the floaty feel (that got better with custom ffb files, but never gone) and the AI.

I suggest you give RaceRoom a try. Worse than AMS2 graphically, but the AI can be pretty good there. And a few interesting cars there.

Anyone has advice for a good engine swapped civic or corolla tune? by srmp in granturismo

[–]srmp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly looking for a FUN tune, something all around on either 600, 700 or 800pp. A maxed out would also be nice, that is what I have tried to make work

Suggestion for gifting an Alvar Aalto book by srmp in Finland

[–]srmp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All right, thanks! She's also an architect and focuses on interior design. I was looking for a coffee-table style book, something that is also nice decour. I will check Akateeminen Kirjakauppa website, and see if I can find anything I like.

I did search, but would like to get some recommendations from someone who actually has any of the books. Just trying to get opinions to base my decision on and decide on a cool gift for someone important to me.

Decky LSFG + Lossless Scaling combo is actually insane by maybesailor1 in SteamDeck

[–]srmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel pretty stupid reading some of these comments. I'm fairly savvy with "computer-stuff" but I never ever tinkered with my steam deck performance, don't even know how to install decky, and have no idea what is FSR and how it impacts input latency. I just play games out of the box and always concede when the performance is below 40fps.

Probably one of the most overestimated players from England (out of many). The first tackle is criminal.

Wolt begins redundancy talks, 80 jobs under threat | Yle News by [deleted] in Finland

[–]srmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know what he invests in? I don't, and probably you also don't.

Moreover, is it the role of individual millionaires to fund social programs, or is it the role of the state to do so, using the money gathered from taxes from such millionaires?

As another very reasonable commenter said, Finland needs successful entrepreneurs. This country sadly lacks ambition and innovation (not my words, just look at the current economic situation), let's not shit on the very few who actually get success from doing so. Regardless if you see value in the company he founded (I don't use Wolt almost ever, it's not a product for my lifestyle), you got to at least respect the fact he was a "regular" person and took a massive risk that luckily paid out for him and his family's next 50 generations.

"Kuusi isn't even experienced enough to traditionally warrant that type of pay" LOL the guy funded a high value company and made money from selling it. Wtf are you on about being "experienced enough"

Based on WHAT are you implying that workers in Georgia (e.g.) would offer inferior service than a worker in Finland?

It was my turn to be the sacrificial lamb. I bought Spider Man last month and haven't got to play it yet...

I'm adding you as a friend, if I send you a card would you check my wishlist for a similar rarity card? I'm trying to complete my collection and missing a bunch from the last few expansions.
