I think I have an understanding why winter is popular in the North.In Finland at summer it is not the ants that ruin your picnic...its mosquitoes. And they make you their picnic feast![]()

“It’s so good that it looks bad”Star Citizen is a broken mess because it's the greatest game ever made...
Pure nightmare fuel. The unintentional horror they've managed to produce is truly something I've never seen before. There is some solid gold in SC bugs for a horror film maker. Oscar winning, best new writer in horror just waiting for someone to introduce it to the masses.Star Citizen is a broken mess because it's the greatest game ever made...
Round and round the pretzel goes
Sounds like the Scottish Highlands to me. It’s hypothesised (by me) that the Orkneys and Shetlands were colonised because the wind blows all the midges away, and this was considered a fair trade.In Finland at summer it is not the ants that ruin your picnic...its mosquitoes.

Yup, very few midgies up here...since there isn't a day we don't have wind and there's no trees or sheltered bits for them to lurk under. Compared to the 'meanbh-cuileag' hell of the highlands where I grew up...this is a paradiseSounds like the Scottish Highlands to me.

The story of Star Citizen development gets better with every patch.Is this more or less "never seen before" than making elevators work?

Moving down to Ayrshire coast in my mid teens was a revelation, I assumed everyone had them!Yup, very few midgies up here...since there isn't a day we don't have wind and there's no trees or sheltered bits for them to lurk under.

As for midgies (Scottish variety)...did you know that it's only the pregnant females that bite and they never fly any further than 50m from the fresh water puddles or damp soil where they hatched? For every 2m of Scottish soil, there averages around half a billion midgie eggs. They also spend most of their lifespan as larva, once they pupate, their average lifespan of flying and biting things is only 1 to 2 days...it's the one insect we have in Scotland that by all rules of nature, truly belongs in Australia...
Pooping tech will be in huge demand.
Why on earth would I - or anyone - have to sit on a public transport seat in a Space Game?
They are the most mingingest of the minging.
Got it. I never thought Scotland was so damp. Finland, yes, with all the water bodies.Yup, very few midgies up here...since there isn't a day we don't have wind and there's no trees or sheltered bits for them to lurk under.

People say that it's always raining in Scotland. This is not true. Sometimes it snows.Got it. I never thought Scotland was so damp. Finland, yes, with all the water bodies.
