1: An open world exploration game that doesn’t have combat … like Breath of the Wild but without all the fighting and with lots of short stories and puzzles.

Basically I want to be able to go wandering off and uncover ancient ruins etc without having to fight for my life.

2: Snowrunner, but with a good narrative story mode and gearboxes that actually work.

There’s so much potential to have engaging stories in that game, which could be tied into improved game structure (namely restricting truck / tire choice to make some tasks challenging in an interesting way).

So, Tux Kart?

Edit: or more old school, Wacky Wheels (I think I still have a copy somewhere)

I don’t think Farm Simulator has any combat

Thanks for adding some context, I missed out on that!

As for Vox, they’ll keep defending him because they always look for the worst possible opinion to have and then jump on that … because unfortunately there’s enough people out there with the same shitty views who will then want to vote for them even harder.

I’m crossing all my fingers for a not-PP government.

Agreed on all counts … that said, his first “I’m not going to resign” speach got resounding applause, so I’m sure he had a lot of behind-the-scenes support to stay as long as he did.

Hopefully whoever gets his job will be both better and able to cut out more of the rot.

(I live in Spain, I’ve been royally pissed off at how the players have been treated)

Competitions should go over to crazy golf, it’d be more fun to watch then, not use water, and use less space too … imagine how crazy pro-level crazy golf courses could be!

I can totally see why you wouldn’t like Snowrunner … I love it, and doing rescue missions to recover flipped trucks and struggling through hard terrain at a slow pace are the parts I like about it, lol

The best way to clear a blocked road is to drive a police car into the obstruction?

Here it usually involves workers dismantling and taking stuff away.

Same thing with The Guardian, where their feminist opinion pieces were written by an actively transphobic woman for a long time after it was considered not-cool.

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from “España Vaciada”, life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well … but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it’s rather shit.

I’m fully on board with “tourists go home”. If we get more holiday let’s in the village we’re thinking of moving more inland.

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!

What good native Linux ARM games are there?

Ah, it’s the phones, I thought it was 12 year olds and was a commentary on the GOP or something

That’s a very philosophically positive way of thinking about it!

I’m guessing your car was quite a lot more expensive

It cruises at about 80km/h and on road the range is about 300km (I get 2.5L/100km but my other half gets 2.2L/100km because she doesn’t ride as agressively).

The original version was made as a cheap farm bike for Spain, but the new facelifted version is … a cheap farm bike in a new hat, lol

The marketing for it is dire, it’s basically a slow, lightweight, farm bike that can get pretty much anywhere off road, which is ideal for where I live

It’s interesting that different people take different things away from the game, I love the base game with small trucks - team Fleetstar!

It is the cost that’s holding me back now, I paid €2700 for my 2021 Tango a year ago and it has an expected lifespan of about 10 years at my current rate / style of use. There are other factors, but that’s the main one … I figure it will be the last petrol bike I buy.
