  • Thank you for the in depth reply. CoreA gaming has a lot of interesting videos about fighting games and the fighting game community. I made a joke about not having Tim Hortons in my country and looked up where it was available and it surprised me to see Pakistan there, and not a well known area. I like the contrast of the usual view of Pakistan being subverted by more bougie things, as until recently, Pakistan and video games have not been a very related topic, and Tim Hortons used to have a reputation of being as Canadian as poutine, so that was fun too.


  • I don’t understand how it evolved to be made in that form factor, and why it is still being done that way.

    I have semi good news for you. There are several sizes of newspaper, however, some newspapers are only available in certain sizes.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_format#Sizes_and_aspect_ratios

    • Broadsheet 749 mm × 597 mm (29.5 in × 23.5 in) (1.255 aspect ratio)
    • Nordisch 570 mm × 400 mm (22 in × 16 in) (1.425 aspect ratio)
    • Rhenish around 520 mm × 350 mm (20 in × 14 in) (1.486 aspect ratio)
    • Swiss (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) 475 mm × 320 mm (18.7 in × 12.6 in) (1.484 aspect ratio)
    • Berliner 470 mm × 315 mm (18.5 in × 12.4 in) (1.492 aspect ratio)
    • Tabloid 430 mm × 280 mm (17 in × 11 in) (1.536 aspect ratio)
    • Demitab (half tabloid) 200 mm × 270 mm (8 in × 10.5 in) 1.3125 aspect ratio. “Magazine format”, though many magazines are larger. Used by The Economist.

    perhaps your physical newspaper is available in an alternate size?
