To get a similar experience in the exact opposite way: travel in a big group. In a group of 30 there’s usually someone who wants to join, and even if not, you don’t have to feel bad about breaking off and doing your own thing for a bit, because no one expects you to do everything together.

You still have the basic structure of the trip to get everyone together for a travel day and discuss your adventures during a long bus ride, so I think it’s really the best of both worlds.

Eventually all that dry air will end up above the ocean and absorb more water to balance the system. I don’t think it’s really an issue, we weren’t getting rain clouds from the Sahara anyway.

I also wouldn’t use my car if I had such a good spot. You’re never getting that again if you move it now! Better take a taxi.

Linux-native Dota is a bit worse than Windows Dota, to the point that I tried to run it in Proton instead (doesn’t work). With the right start config (-dx11) it runs fine though. Same for Deadlock, it was almost unplayable without -dx11.
