Athens has had a 5.3 Richter earthquake that scientists believe is the main one. There have been aftershocks in 4.7 richter. It comes from the deadly Parnitha point that killed people in 1999. Scientists say the Parnitha point "ate its energy" though other points still exist. The earthquake was by ground, so many people felt it. (sorry for kinda bad translations, other media dont say the details) damages happened, but luckily 0 deaths, but lots of accidents. In Kamatero, a roof brick fell in a boy's head on his way out. He is doing well in hospital. Some construction material also iirc hit a pregnant woman in the head in a museum. She is doing fine too in hospital.
Shocking. did you feel it? I was in kalamata so i didnt.
Also some old buildings had parts collapse. A church's cross fell. Sending you pics

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.

    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID
