Balrog and Birdie the next DCL characters?

I heard their theme song in a match posted online a couple of days ago. Does this mean they will be in this game later?

Also, any chance we will see Kyo and Iori from SNK.

Street Fighter 6 Random?

One of the tournament leaders and veterans said this game is random. What does he mean by this? Does he mean, for example, a player can miss a move because you jumped over them but then immediately recover to hit you with a light jab?

Are we meant to be playing this game at full-throttle, for hours on end, like robots. What has happened to just playing and chillin

Why does Reddit have a negative Karma (comment hiding) system?

Don't they have subreddit moderators to do that work? What are moderators for again exactly?

How do you guys cope with the extreme summer and winter weather here?

10+ days in a row of 40C+ weather in summer, and now sub-5C in winter. All this combined with the poorly insulated Adelaide homes....

So, how many hours do you find yourself standing in front of the heater each day, just to warm up?

Are People's Feet Really That Narrow?

I find myself having to buy 2E or 4E Wide sneakers, and my feet are not even that wide.

I can never buy standard shoes, which sucks because most are heavily discounted all the time.

Narrow feet or is it some weird fashion trend?

Last I heard Nike and Puma were the first to set the trend during the mid-2000s, shifting towards a highly tapered toe box to save on raw materials. I guess I won't be buying from these brands.

Kawai ES-120 Too Quiet

I had a look at one in the piano shop and the sound is barely audible compared to the upright pianos next to it. The Master volume level was set to max. Turned if off and on again and still barely audible.

I have an old Casio CTK-480 that someone brought in the 90's and it's at least 3 times louder than this Kawai ES-120, probably even more. In fact, on the lowest volume setting it is so loud that I cannot even play it late at night for fear of waking others up.

So, what's the deal with this Kawai being so low in volume? If people can't hear you play it, if you can't hear yourself playing it, then why all the hype regarding this entry level keyboard?

Btw: it was on a thin, metal X-stand and not the HML-2 wooden stand designed for its bottom facing speakers (the one included in the kit).

Why are there so few solar-powered watches designed for women?

Is it to make money off women from frequent servicing, or are women slower to want or adapt to technology?
