Congrats. Going to get a lot more support in America too. Still have that stereotype to get over:

Anyone who owns NHL25, is it worth it?

Call me jaded, but they are never worth their sticker price. If there's any video game genre that needs to drop the full annual release model, it's sports games.

I have Game Pass that comes with EA Pass, so I just stay on the previous years version until they drop the new one on the service late in the season. No way am I paying $90 for some menu/feature shuffling and slight tweaks.

I play it extensively. I think it’s the best one in several years. I’d wait til Boxing Day - it’ll almost certainly be on discount.

Haven't been for a decade. I still get it every year...I just wait til black Friday and pay like $40 instead of $90.

I then proceed to edit players to make them more accurate...don't play...next month's roster updates...I re edit all the players...don't play...rinse and repeat for the last 10 years lol

I haven't gotten this far yet...but have they fixed player demands in the off season in dynasty/gm mode?

The players demands were always based off overall instead of production...so you could have a ppg player who is 79 overall and is asking for a 2 way contract after scoring 44 goals in the NHL. And on the other hand you could have a guy who's been in the minors for 5 years get a little overall boost one year to like 81 or something and is asking for 4 years at 4 million despite getting 40 points in the AHL as a forward.

It bothered me that year after year, they couldn't make salary demands after the actual stats...being strong or a fast skater doesn't make a player command high salary...being productive does...theyve never been able to figure that out.

Haven't gotten far enough to see if they finally fixed that.

The Sun's bulb needs replacing

2021-2024.. Near identical sun hours
2021-2024 a loss of about 5% in Kw/m^2 of solar radiation in 2023 and 2024
2021-2024 a loss of about 10% in Solar radiation November, December and January, in 2023 and 2024

you know how something is best when brand new.. Must be the damn same thing for the sun.

2014 and 2015, it seemed to be dying out. Someone must have changed the bulb in 2016.. it max'd out and has been slowly diming ever since.

If the weather does not brighten up, we will have one of the least sunny Decembers in recent years. About 200 hours, versus about 290 hours. A solid 30% drop.

to put it in perspective, we get about 475 hours in June and July..

Man this city is unlivable in winter.

Huh? I prefer cloudy in winter to be honest.

The sunny days are the coldest.

Plus, I want a white Christmas.
