Lemmy strikes again with a 2 year old post, probably got edited a while ago ;)

What’s always fun is that new Dutch apartments come with an entirely equipped kitchen, dishwasher and all, but then they come without a floor (bare concrete), and the walls are bare plaster.

Then as a renter I get to pay for all of it, and at the end of my lease I’m looking forward to playing the bluffing game with the next tenant. I’ll try to sell my floor to them, while they try to get it for free under the assumption I don’t want to spend time ripping it up if they don’t pay.

They will lose.

True that, I think it’s more a case of that I’ve been renting in brand new apartments most recently, and a combimagnetron is the standard for all new construction in cities these days.

Although it’s true that my Oma has them separate. But even then, the microwave is built into the cupboards, it’s not a “loose” appliance on the counter top. That seems to be more of a thing in US/UK from what I see

Yeah so they’re one unit, you turn it on and then choose to oven, microwave, grill or a combination of all 3. I’ve found combo low wattage microwave with oven to be great at quickly heating frozen food for example.

I think the major difference is that it’s rarer to have a combination stove and oven. The stove is usually separate and built into the counter top, similar to how a sink is installed. I have normal drawers beneath my induction stove, but it’s also common to have the oven as a separate appliance below the stove. My combi oven is above the inbuilt fridge instead. Just whatever the designers of my rental place thought works well, the main point is that they don’t have to be together.

Interesting point on the microwave ovens. I live in the Netherlands and every apartment I’ve lived in comes with a standard combination oven and microwave, i.e oven sized microwave. Is that something standard in the US and not standard where you are?

Honestly though, I hate it but I do kind of get it. If this game gets overrun by hackers in its prime, the game dies and I’d really like to see this survive long term as this is the kind of pricing model I’d like to support. Can’t have everything perfect.

But it will only make sense if FACEIT achieves that goal. Time will tell, and I’ll keep my windows dual boot for gaming for now.

I’m in the same camp here, generally avoided FPS because my reaction time is similar to a snail. The medic role is super important because you don’t heal automatically, and only a medic can heal you. I’ve had plenty of situations where I’m a medic prone on the ground with bullets flying overhead, reviving and healing a whole squad downed by a well placed enemy grenade. Been an absolute blast, pun intended.
