Xbox Turns To Sports Titles To Combat Dwindling Game Pass Subscriber Sign Ups
  • i think the Gamepass shines the most for coop games. If you have a friend group you regularly play games with it there can be an issue of the different spending habits and willingness to buy games between everyone. Often one person will try to motivate others to get a game and than it gets played a few times and shelved.

    The advantage of sports games is probably that most can be played coop, also there is a huge playerbase there that loves to buy lootboxes. Easy way to get whole friendsgroups signed up. I myself dont really like sportsgames that much, at least not if they are by EA.

    Though I do hope that gamepass keeps getting more coop games. Especially more couch, casual and partygames. They do already have lots of survival and crafting games so far, which is great.

  • More than 700 flights canceled as southern Germany sees heavy snowfall
  • It's beautiful, but there was a good chance to get stuck everywhere in cars without all-wheel drive. In my neighborhood the snow services dont run through to remove the snow from road and parkings, so you have to do it by hand. Took 3 hours to free our house with 2 people and there was not much place left to shovel the snow too. Over night the temperatures dropped to ~ -12°C so everything is frozen now too. Can't imagine what 70 cm in a day would be like. This was probably the highest single day snowfall i experienced, the only comparable time was i think in 2005

    But yeah has been a while since i last saw a white christmas. Nowadays the most snowfall seems to happen in february/march

  • In a surprising finding, light can make water evaporate without heat
  • They explain that in the article. Light barely gets absorbed in water, which is why you can see several meters deep in water. Only the absorbed part can turn into heat.

    They measured an effect that partly evaporates water more efficiently than the heat influx can. The theory mentioned in the article is, that light directly knocks out water molecules at the water/air surface boundary. The measured effect was the most effective with light of a green wavelength

    Reddit Activity 08 - 28 June [OC]

    During the Reddit Blackout i made a graph showing the posts and comments/day (Link).

    Some days ago i was asked to make an Update so here it is.

    Source Data is from here and contains the same Data as some may know from here. Only difference is that the post and comment count is summed over the day.

    EDIT:

    The Original Post Data contained inconsistent Data points on each day (see here).

    This is the corrected Chart, which uses the difference in Post IDs between the days to calculate the daily number (adjusted to s between the api calls):

    !

    I also adjusted the values to 10^6 and adjusted the y-axis ranges, I hope this makes it easier on the eyes.

    For people complaining on the mixed chart: Double column looks bad with 2Y-Axis, and double lines looks too empty. 2Y-Axis are necessary cause of the difference in scaling of the posts and comments data, only other option would be an axis break.

    Reddit Blackout: -19% Comments/day and -9% Posts/day during the 48h

    Most data shown so far looked at the Peak per Minute numbers, so I wanted to see the day data instead.

    I took the data from the blackout.photon-reddit site source.

    It seems that it makes a Reddit Api call every Minute searching the newest Post and Comment and calculates both per Minute rates.

    I wanted to see the effect the Blackout had over the day, so I summed the data and plotted it. Seems like between 11th and 12th June the comments/day diminished by -19.2%. The posts/day saw a decline of -8.9%.

    I have also been looking at the Subreddit Stats: Most comments and posts come from r/Askreddit. On 13th June the Sub had 2.4% of the total comments and 0.44% of the total site posts. Sadly I can't see the list of the most commenting and posting subs from reddit before the Blackout because it doesn't seem to work on wayback machine.

    But currently it seems like the Top100 commenting Subreddits only make out ~10% (Askreddit: ~1.5%) . So the bulk of the comments happens on the sheer number of other active subreddits.

    The subreddit stats site also doesn't show how it gets the data and doesn't make it easy to see historical data overview. During the Blackout there seems to have been post spamming from a now banned german nsfw sub that had even more posts/day than Askreddit

    Was tun mit Münzsammlung
  • Bin momentan in ziemlich der selben Situation.

    Ich benutze https://colnect.com/de und http://opennumismat.github.io/de/ zur Katalogisierung und zur Preisinfo.

    Bestimmte Münzen zwischen 1979-1986 enthalten wohl gar kein Silber und können somit nur zum Prägewert verkauft werden in einer Filiale der Bundesbank (also bei 10 DM sind das ~5€)

    Falls die Münze aber Silber enthält sollte man diese lieber zum tagesaktuelle Silberkurs verkaufen für einen besseren Preis. Je nach Silbergehalt und Kurs kann das dann schon auch bis zu ~10€ sein.

  • How much reddit content likely went dark on June 12th?
  • So I took the data from the blackout.photon-reddit site source.

    It seems that it makes a Reddit Api call every Minute searching the newest Post and Comment and calculates both per Minute rates.

    I wanted to see the effect the Blackout had over the day, so I summed the data and plotted it: Seems like between 11th and 12th June the comments/day diminished by -19.2%. The posts/day saw a decline of -8.9%

    The sub with the most Activity was probably Askreddit
