  • Iceland here, we don’t use DST at all. GMT / UTC all year round, it’s nice.

    There has been a lot of discussion in the past few years about adopting it though, but a lot of people don’t really see the point, me included.

    During this time of year, October / November, the days start to get really short, so the sun doesn’t rise until 8 or 9, and it sets around 16 to 18.

    Having some sort of DST here wouldn’t make much sense IMO since it would only be 3 months or so. Then there’s the debate of do you want to use DST and have the sun rise sooner, but set sooner or vice versa with no DST.

    Personally I like that the sun is still somewhat there when I leave work, since even with DST the sun would just barely be starting to rise when I would be commuting to work in the morning.

    (Tangent: I don’t get why a lot of global schedules for some events list the start times of a live stream for a ton of different timezones, but never also include just GMT / UTC)


  • For me I’d say Racedriver GRID 2008

    Just something about the handling of the cars that feels good to me. A good mix between realism and arcade style.

    Then there’s the rewind time mechanic that feels good and is tweaked based on difficulty (IIRC you get X amount of rewinds based on difficulty with the highest difficulty having no rewinds)
