The Cynical Crusader@Cyn1calCrusader·
So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...

@existentialgoof @Cyn1calCrusader Typical redditor being pedantic and arguing a point that wasnt even made. when did i ever say it was high humidity? should have known youd retort with some stupid crap like that from your profile pic alone. truly an insufferable excuse for a person.

The high humidity thing is an absolute myth. Where I am today, the temperatures are in the low 30s, and humidity is in the 20s percentage. High temperatures plus high humidity are a very rare combination in this country. The lack of AC is true, and that can make it difficult to sleep. Especially in hotels which also don't allow you to open the window more than a tiny crack.

@SPD64 I live in the Uk. This is barely a heatwave. Yeah it’s warm but a single desk fan and iced drinks have made it barely affective

Please be patient to UK content creators We are currently being hit with a pretty intense heatwave, meaning we'll probably be working a tad slower, have less energy and may even need to take a break from our PCs to prevent them from overheating Also none of this "Well we have it hotter over here" bs: - UK heat is built different - Most of us don't have ACs since we rarely NEED them for most of the year - Our houses are built to keep heat in due to how cold our weather can get - We aren't as used to hot weather given how 80% of the year, UK weather isn't hot We're not trying to dispute who has it worse/hotter, we just want patience and understanding 🙏

@Pepeonlyfrens @ARCRaidersGame "hard to get into games quick" maybe if you hadnt ruined your attentionspan or dopamine receptors it wouldnt matter if it takes more than 30 seconds to get into a match. get a grip. if you cant spend more than 30 seconds putting a kit on, you're the problem.

@ARCRaidersGame Freekits are so weak hard to get into games quick. Should be able to create pre made loadouts to avoid doing it all the time. Also rotating extract points would be nice

@RNGingy They said it was originally meant to be pve but it sucked and that’s why they added PvP. Go watch their development videos they’re releasing rather than parroting crap you read online.

@TheRooster Terrible idea. Would become a murderers game for a full week. I wouldn’t personally mind. But my kid just got the game and is collecting lemons and stuff. Running the early missions, etc. Would be so annoying for those who aren’t doing trials.

Music is the soul of the people; a single badly-tuned guitar (or recorder) gives hope to cold Raiders, huddled around firepits in Speranza 🎻 We’ve heard some beautiful covers and remixes of the ARC Raiders OST, and even some weird songs made out of the ARC machines beeps and boops. Send us the best stuff you’ve heard or made, it's a great evening to take a break from the action and kick back with some tunes in the Raider Den 🎧
