We use paper ballots in Germany as well. It’s a good method to keep elections transparent - paper ballots can theoretically be counted and evaluated by anyone.

Voting machines are a black box that you have to trust the manufacturer presents accurate results.

Thanks. I mean, its not your fault, you just used the original title.

Wth happened to putting the game’s title, “The Day Before”, in quotes?

This isn’t even loss 😡

I wouldnt know

That response doesn’t answer the question, though. Do the yell “Arrrr” or “Yo ho ho” when pirating photoshop?

I don’t pirate Photoshop, but when pirating other things i exclusively yell “Yarrr!”

maybe next week.

I’m hard, argue with me

The fact that people being assholes with their real names on Facebook tells me, anonymity has nothing to do with it.

“It’s not that the wind is blowing, it’s what the wind is blowing” - Ron White

Not only would you need your house to be strong enough to withstand the hurricane’s wind, your house will need to withstand whatever it is blowing around at 100mph+

oh, i see. You’re right, I guess I misread.

I think “it is considered extremely disrespectful for anyone who is not black to use that word […]” would have been clearer, or at least make it harder to miss the “not”.

Now, it is considered extremely respectful for anyone who is not black to not use that word to refer to black people without permission

looks like you’re missing a negation here. It’s the opposite of “extremely respectful” ;)

EDIT: disregard

The only time I tip with counter service is when something is like 3,80€ and I give them 4€ in coins.

At that point, I usually just go “keep it”

Even if you are a EU citizen, apple will remove your ability to sideload if you leave the EU for an extended period (I dont recall if it is 30 or 90 days)

Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

If wasps realize that I am a giant who can easily kill them, why are they so incessant on invading my personal space?

I’s like going to a kickboxing tournament as an untrained person and flipping off every kickboxer within kickboxing range, then slapping them when they tell you to fuck off.

FH4 is only 4 dollars

What country do you live in? For me it’s currently $/€14 in the regular version, 20 for the deluxe ultimate edition.

Also note that the game will be getting delisted in december, so now might be the last chance to get it at a discount.

High-level TrackMania players use keyboards, not gamepads or, god forbid, racing wheels.

It’s wild to me that some players like GranaDyy are actually able to compete using a racing wheel.

Favourite racing game is always highly dependent on what I am looking for.

Forza Motorsport 4 (Not Horizon) was one of the best racing simcades i’ve enjoyed playing, it has solid sim-ish racing and it is very satisfying to build up a garage and take a car for a spin on some of the gorgeous original or real life racetracks. Unfortunately, it’s an xbox 360 exclusive and not backwards compatible on xbox one or series x, so not really playable on current systems. I am stll looking for a similar experience on a modern pc.

I also enjoy “Project Cars” and it’s sequel “Project Cars 2”. I can easily play the games on my current PC or the Steam Deck, but the game can be challenging on a gamepad - not impossible, but managable. It does lack some beautiful original tracks as it only features real life circuits and it does lack the satisfaction of having to “earn” and build up a collection of cars and making them your own. Unfortunately, both games have been delisted on storefronts and can no longer officially be purchased, but if you can get your hands on a PC Key, you can still enjoy the games on a modern system.

If I want to enjoy some sim racing, I’ll go with Assetto Corsa or Assetto Corsa Competizione. Great fun with a steering wheel, not really my thing with a gamepad. Modding possibilities for AC are basically endless on PC, but again, lacking some sort of progression system that will allow you to build up a car collection.

Forza Horizon 3 with its Hot-Wheels Expansion was probably my favourite open-world arcade racer, unfortunately it’s also delisted, and while I still have the physical xbox one version, that means I can’t play it on PC. Forza Horizon 4 (with the Lego expansion) is the next best thing (still far better than FH5) and is still available on PC, but will also be delisted in december (grab FH4 while you still can!)

I have also spent a lot of time playing Burnout Paradise, but I still prefer Burnout Revenge over it’s younger open-world brother.

Wreckfest is a great spiritual succesor to the already great Flatout 1/2 and certainly the best banger racer you can currently get. The damage model is very convicing and it’s good fun to wreck some CPU racers.

BLUR - an underrated battle racer, with a really fun 4 player splitscreen. Calling it “Mario Kart with real cars” is, imho a bit too simple, but it does get the point across quite well.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) - early 2000s yellow/brown tinted aesthetics aside, the game still looks good today and police chases can go on forever. Great fun.

Not a racing game, but a honorable mention: American/Euro Truck Simulator 2, bought it as a joke back then, but it does feel cathartic at times.

Make that “Gaming on Linux”. I’ve barely come accross a game that wouldnt work at all, ocassionally (usually with older titles) setting up a decent controll scheme can be some work. To be fair, though, I mostly play single player games or casual multiplayer games - I don’t play any esports titles or competitive multiplayer games, so unsupported anti-cheat hasn’t been an issue for me.

All the effort Valve has put into proton for the steam deck has paid off for regular Linux gaming as well. So much so, that Linux has been my main OS for about a month.
