California sucks right now. It's supposed to hit the 100s today. It's September! Get cold, damn it!
I want to move to Canada.

Come! You're always welcome up here! Although, if you want to come up here you're going to have to convert your temperatures to Celsius. Or Kelvin, Kelvin is acceptable.

[DeKaFu]

I prefer to just assume everyone is speaking in Celsius at all times, and the entire country below us is a scorched wasteland littered with corpses where body fluids boil on contact with the air.

Find a pc and play Age of Empires or whatever old games are installed on it by default?

There's always some student organization doing stuff like that. Maybe.

There are no games installed in university PCs, and attempting to install any, out play online, can result I'm the suspension of one's right to us the PCs.

I think it may be related to the prejudice most people who work in the computer science department seem to have against gaming in general.

EDIT: furthermore, the computer science building has no public computers, because why would it?

I was under the impression that computer science people form a circular Venn diagram with people who keep 90s games on computers just because.

You have proven me wrong.

Anyway, how about just walking around? I've done plenty of that. Unless the campus is someplace unpleasant.

Korean road laws encourage bikers to get hit by cars.

By law, you're supposed to ride on the rightmost lane's rightmost edge. But because cars have a blind spot there, the moment one tries to turn you'll slam into it.

That's standard practice in most places that drive on the right hand side of the road. It's better there then in the middle of two lanes of traffic. And you're supposed to check your blindspot when you turn...

[Dutchling]

Yeah I don't see the problem there.

Although bike lanes are of course preferable.

[Skyrunner]

Well, additional laws are that you cannot bike on the sidewalk if any bicycle roads exist, or if they don't exist at all.

Bike lanes in Korea are really weird. If they're part of the road, people park their cars there. If they're part of the sidewalk, the gov't plants stuff there. What am i supposed to do?

And even if I bike along the side of the road, apparently road biking is super risky... sigh

Edit: the site I linked advocates that the law is dumb in reality.

No, that's just Florida and Texas.

My leg was (and still is) in quite a bit of pain, and the place is notorious for the uneven ground. Still, that is over, so I only need to bear through roughly 4 hours of work while trying to ignore my leg.

As for the game stuff, I'd say 1/3 of the students are into gaming, but, even then, only newer ones, while only a single teacher likes video games (and indeed bases his research on it).

Those bike lanes are beautiful. So much utility contained in a metre wide strip.

What about Kongregate?

What about Kongregate?

Works, but if anyone sees it (and the computers are placed in a way that everyone passing by sees what is on the screen) I'd get my acess suspended, which is actually needed for some classes.

People are weird at your uni.
