Yeah its amazing how much pcs cost back then. Some where in the 4k range and would go obselete in a year.
I learned something new today, didn't even know the Faroe Islands existed. What beautiful landscapes. Amazing. Plus houses with grass roofs. Seems to be a trend in these photos or is that just select locations. Very cool looking buildings and cliffs. Must be very cold though.
The grass roofs are mostly on old historical buildings, but some people keep the tradition alive and incorporate them in their new houses. Some of the larger modern style government buildings and hotels use them too.
The temperature is interesting because even though we are quite far north in the Atlantic ocean, we are placed in the middle of the Gulf stream which is quite warm. So it rarely goes below zero degrees celsius (32 degrees fahrenheit) in the winter and rarely above 25 degrees celsius (77 degrees fahrenheit) in the summer. We sometimes refer to our islands as "the land of maybe" because the weather is so unpredictable, you can get all four seasons in one day.
This reminds me btw of an early deep gaming experience I had on that old PC: Midwinter
It was actually amazing. Open world, 3D, vehicles. Would love to see a remake or re-imagining. Some FarCry games are close mechanically, but lack the unique setting.
