Completely agree, though if I do try food from other countries I want to have it as close as possible to how it’s enjoyed by discerning locals … I’m not sure if that counts as being snobbish?

Some people I work with have literally the same sandwich every day … Pa Amb Tomaquet is a national dish that invokes pride (if done right) while also being thoroughly working class.

What I’ve seen of fancy places is the “peasant food” is fancied up with “better” ingredients, or the recipe is changed, which just turns my appetite off … fortunately that’s not a frequent problem for me since I can’t afford to spend on eating out, lol

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

I live in a remote place and a few times a year have to live without stuff, so my list after water, food and shelter (assuming those are the minimum version of what the word means) would be: A sanitary toilet A means of washing oneself A reliable way of cooking food A reliable way of providing light at night Access to xkcd.com

Yaught - Paradise Engineering.

Bring in the retro synth, introduce a slapping bass beat, and just when you’re ready for a shot of adrenalin in comes the overraught, out of tempo, spoken word over the top.

:-(

Similarly, every Mogwai album has to have a synth-voice track for some reason. Presumably to give the audience a chance to go to the loo without missing anything.

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.

You’re welcome :-)

You’re probably going to find that hair-specific scissors are going to work fine on beard hairs too, but they’ll be comparatively long and ungainly for around your face.

Any brand-name ones are going to be good if you’re not planning to be a pro. I do my family hair, but that’s with a trimmer!

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!

Star Trek TNG literally started with space jellyfish, too

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.

It’s funny how you describe team sports for kids, when I was young it was always used as a system to punish the weak.

Anywho, my favourite hobbies that keep me fit have all been based on not being in a team. Mountain biking was always the best, but now my knees disagree so I’m doing 3D / field archery … I’ve managed to make a new friend through that, so even though I’m crap I still enjoy going :-)

The lady on the right might be a Sith!

I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don’t know of any other Moes.

Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years … I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can’t connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google’s old apps can still get live data without problems.

Yes, it’s a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.

It doesn’t have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it’s far newer than the old Android phone.
