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

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 :-)

I'm in what was one of the greener parts of Spain, we're on year 2 of a drought already and over the last 3 years we've repeatedly hit 40°.

I'm genuinely worried for the future, and it feels completely out of my hands.

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)

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

 

Not a very old game, but I just picked up the "Ultimate Edition" for €10 on sale, first time I've touched a fighting game since the first Soul Caliber on Dreamcast.

It seems to have a mountain of content, doesn't take itself too seriously (Rambo Vs. Robocop!), and isn't full of long combos, flashing lights, or confusing perspective changes.

I'm not normally one for fighting games, but it's being a lot of fun for me right now :-)
