Too damn hot!

11 days later

I almost ended up in the same situation as one of the above two users, I was playing a dynamic campaign solo on W. Island on the Japanese side, it was the most intense aerial fighting I get to witness myself, in a nimble green Zero-looking plane on one mission I was doing some patrolling, enjoyed a bit of peace for a good 10 minutes with my crew until I ran head-on into a small group of fearless F4F-3's. My squadron was the only reinforcing unit and had to resort to kamikazing a couple of them just to proceed to the next checkpoint of the run. At about three-quarters of the way, some helpful backup came out of nowhere and joins in unison formation, almost as if about to crash into one another.

By the time I almost approached the final checkpoint out at sea, another group of F4F-3's came slightly left ahead and all of my crew along with the friendlies rushed together just as a real-life storm approaches, forcing me to hurry up with the mission and hope not to lose whatever progression after having gone through half a dozen missions. Luckily, I had a sweatband on my forehead to absorb most of the tension, but at the end of the campaign, I was already getting tired and perhaps won after some more death-defying missions against the Allies team. During the latter half of the second wave, my crews' water pressure has hit its limit, meaning we have to slow to a deadly dance of attrition with around two F4F-3's that just refuse to die, sometimes baiting us into their sector only to have us turn around to deal with the other one and thus they'll turn around and resume their pursuit, albeit a little slower because of critical fuel reserves spent from minutes of flying around in unpredictable circles, the battle even took me right into the island where I could got shot at easily by Allied ships and had to turn back, keeping at least a 10-15 km distance so that they can't fire.

At the very end, I took the whole island and all other sectors surrounding it, even though all the other numbers still said I'm at a disadvantage, the sector count is all that mattered to me. Glad I didn't declare a sick day, thanks to that sweatband.

Ahh~, Spring is well and truly in the air! And just in time for my migraines to fade, too! ^~^

I'll rather miss the cold, honestly~. Perhaps that's because a quarter of my year got effectively deleted, perhaps it's the vast amounts of tree pollen that'll repaint my car green. Buut, I suppose I can tolerate it for the chance to hear the of symphony of sparrows, of jays, of cardinals as I work from home. 

That reminds me, by the way. Three days from now will mark one year from when this whole mess started for me. Heheh, I feel as if I should celebrate, somehow... ^^'7

    Spring was great but it is over now :feelsbadman:
    And you know what that means
    Summer
    Summer is hell on earth. It exists specifically to torture people. There is no other reason for it. Why would you ever want summer? Why would anyone like summer? There is nothing enjoyable about >35C and >80% humidity. If I could change the universe then I would totally move the earth just a tiny far away from the sun to cancel summer.

    How is corona over there?

      How did you manage to live until now without AC? My dad is an engineer selling household appliances so I have never had to live without an AC up until now.

          水面の朧月 10 years ago in the UK, it rarely ever got above 25C (75F). Like one or two days a year. Nobody buys AC for just one or two days a year.

          Climate change has fucked shit up

              clare That's pretty concerning. I have no idea what it's like to go above 40.

              25 and 35 are drastically different. 38 to 48C 💀
              I feel like it would be possible to sweat while taking a shower at that temperature. That's so weird to think about.
              Are buildings over there built differently? Like with thicker walls or something to help with combating the heat. What is winter like?

                  Steph

                  But that'll just make things marginally worse! I just spray myself with water every now and then, and hang out in my underwear ^^'

                      水面の朧月 Also need to account for humidity. In my region 25°C can be more suffocating than a dry 35°C, also makes you sweat a lot. Can't imagine 35°C with high humidity 😱

                      Nowadays the whether is very hot and very fucked up. Had snow in April, big heat waves this summer and almost record floods, terrifying thunderstorms... Hope next year won't get hotter!

                          Yeah, I've heard someone mention that you could use a dehumidifier instead of an air conditioner. Not sure if they're any more economical to run, but they don't need any installation.

                            Dontmindme The bad news is that I get to have both. High temp and high humidity. I sweat while taking a shower 😔

                            It will get hotter every year. This generation is doomed.

                              The joys of being on the side of the house that gets the most sun in the evening, combined with my computer and poor air circulation.

                              I am the heat incarnate.

                              plz end summer you're the worst season I hate u

                                my room either doesn't have insulation or the windows aren't installed properly, and it's so hot in here during summer i can consider it a form of torture

                                it's a literal hotbox
