Shhh, don't tell them that buying indie games helps indie devs even more!

I only like arcade racers and I love Forza Horizon. The online components of entering races with other players you can totally ignore. The open world events (Forzathon, if it'll still be called that) are pretty fun and collaborative rather than competitive.

If you like having a wide variety of cars to drive, a bunch of different race types (road, street, dirt and cross country racing) and great looking scenery then it'll definitely appeal to you IMO. There's also open world stuff like danger signs (stunt jumps), drift zones and speed traps/zones which I think are pretty fun and a nice break from races.

It plays great with a controller, all you need is accelerate/brake/turn/handbrake and you can complete most content (maybe not drift zones).

FYI if it's like FH4/5 it defaults to online but there's no need to turn it off as other players can't get in your way and there's not that many people on each map anyway.

TBF there ain't much to pick between them when it comes to business practices xD

Is it owned by WotC now? I thought it was Games Workshop.

A good one yeah :)

They did however already make an OK one with a terrible DLC strategy (there's €200 of DLC).

Yeah, I know. It's barely even half a game at that point though so what's the point?

yts.bz has it. There's only 1 slow seed but it's there.

Total War Warhammer 1/2/3! I hate RTS combat. If these games were turn based they'd be amongst my most played.

Benno Rice always has interesting talks, good recommendation!

No idea, sorry. I just used an email I set up for random stuff. TBF that email address doesn't get any spam and it's been a couple years since I signed up there.

Seconding the Rii remote. I have one with an air mouse, works just fine.

OP, Plasma Bigscreen hasn't seen an update in a while (so much so it was dropped from Debian 13 for being not compatible with Plasma 6/Qt6 iirc). There are people working on it though so hopefully it'll see a release soon.

 

Pretty standard no-knead recipe. This time though I replaced half the water with Erdinger alcohol free beer and rubbed some butter into the flour for a softer crust.

Video description:

The same biscuit, from the same factory, costs 60% more in the UK — and the company that did it got fined €337 million. So why is nobody here doing anything about it?

In this video, I trace your food bill from the checkout to the boardroom. I look at who really controls UK food prices (spoiler: it's five companies in fancy dress), why farmers get a tenth of a penny profit on a loaf of bread while manufacturers pocket 17%, and what happened when the EU caught one of the world's biggest food corporations rigging prices across borders.

Then I dig into the UK side — the regulator that found the evidence and walked away, the nutrition panel where 11 out of 17 advisors have food industry money, the 1,408 meetings between food ministers and industry versus 35 with charities, and the one government statistic that would have made the whole thing obvious… that quietly disappeared.

"Lots of news on Stop Killing Games! We'll be talking to the EU Commission soon, we're winning EU Parliament, creating an NGO, having a major legal study, we're doing everything to stop publishers from destroying video games!"

 

I've been having an issue with images not displaying on lemmy.zip for a while (can't remember if this has been since I joined or not).

I believe it has to do with cloudflare filtering VPNs (I use Mullvad usually on Amsterdam or Dublin).

In the attached image you can see images not showing including the lemmy icon and my avatar.

I need to go to images.lemmy.zip and click the cloudflare challenge to "verify I am human" then go back to my home page and refresh for the images to reappear. I have to do this every 30 minutes.

Everything else on the site works fine so I assume something needs relaxed on images.lemmy.zip specifically?
