Hah, I hadn’t even remembered the self-created obstacle I have, that I’m trying to stop buying anything from the US-based Steam and buy all new games from (Polish?) GOG instead.

And Forza Horizon is not available there.

But, I’ll mention here under this post that my brother gave me a good recommendation: The Flatout series. Flatout 2 is available on GOG, and looks like something I’ll surely be playing a salary day or two! I already tried Flatout 4, (or: “Fl4tout” 🤣), which ran as a very beatiful slideshow on my computer. Flatout 2 might be what I’m looking for.

The new ones are extremely different in level design. They are just cities where you drive around.

What I like is when a racing game is built in a way that the scenery around is placed so that it conveys a specific atmosphere, even if the resulting composition doesn’t really make much sense. You cannot do that if you also want to give a sandbox atmosphere of “drive freely wherever you will”. As the races force you to drive along specific ways all the same, I feel that the player loses more than gains in that kind of “freedom”. A “roam freely in the city” kind of game has more realism, but less fun.

Fast, not slowly. The change in attitudes has been far bigger than you imagine.

What’s it like to go to doctor?

Well, annoying. Something is wrong in your body and that’s never fun. And then they need to do some procedures that also usually won’t feel nice.

A broken arm, for example, probably means some kind of painkiller pushed into my muscles with a syringe. That hurts. And then I’ll be needing a cast. Meh.

This answer sounds kind of banal… But this is proably about what you did expect(?)
And I don’t know if I’d have to pay. Never broken an arm. Probably nothing. Or maybe many tens of euros? Definitely not over 50 €, though.

I’m in Finland, but this should, by all logic, apply to pretty much the whole of not-USA.

What’s wrong in a nostalgia bait?

Shattered PD is so good that there’s unfortunately no sense making another one. Thanks, @00_Evan@lemmy.world , BTW!

On PieFed there is:

…if you already have some understanding of what is being explained. This did clarify it a bit more to me!

Woah! I read tuhat part of their message as sarcasm and was surprised by the sudden change of to be… But they really meant it literally!

Therapy won’t help instanteneously. It also will alleviate the suffering, but not remove it.

An example of this, mayhap?

What mod actions are you referring to?

A tent sauna wastes tremendeous amounts of energy. You’ll need a disproportianely large kiuas for a small space, and you will be wasting some extra wood. But otherwise, it does work. And also, needing to heat it more actively does increase the airflow, which is a nice thing!

Hey, thanks for the clarification!

Try searching for these three in some image search or video platform:

• Telttasauna
• Saunavaunu
• Saunalautta

The carbrains are mad indeed. They are super annoyed that “we built a bridge for one billion euros and then blocked cars from it for no reason!”

Of course the bridge cost a bit over 300 millions. But, there was a larger project where they included everything they needed to build in the vicinity of the bridge project, so that they wouldn’t need to dig the ground open, fill it, dig it open again, etc. And everything included, the project did indeed cost a bit over one billion. That number includes the four-lane Hakaniemi bridge, built mainly for cars and without any public transportation routes. And it includes the groundwork for many new houses. And some 10 km of new tram line. And a tram depot. And a block of flats that will be built right overneath the tram depot. Of course, when the flats will be sold, much of the costs of that house will be paid back to the city. And then there are two further tram bridges.

There is no space for more cars in the street network on the cape where the city centre of Helsinki is located, so they would have needed to spend at least 500 million extra to accommodate for the cars that would come from that bridge. Plus, the bridge itself would have had to be built three times as wide as it was built now, which would have cost some hundreds of millions as well. For anybody not going for the centre, there is anyway a better route through another bridge on the northern end of the Laajasalo island. So, not spending some 700 million extra, bringing the total cost of the project from a bit over one billion to a bit under 2 billion, meant that money was wasted.

I’ve been wondering, why do they not complain that no cars are allowed in the metro tunnels? Why dig tunnels and then prohibit driving cars in the perfectly good tunnels??

Why? This is Finland. Saunas used to be a type of shrine here before we were converted to christianity. They are seriously important in our culture.

I honestly don’t see anything weird in having a sauna in an event like this. But, I am a Finn.

Absolutely!

The bridge cost a bit over 300 millions, but the car brains are super angry that they “built a bridge for bicycles and that bridge cost one BILLION euros!”

It’s really crazy watching the argumentation! There’s nowhere for the cars to go in the downtown end of the bridge – the traffic there would turn into an absolute porridge.

I’d guess they don’t want to sit on the toilet seat and put their shoesolesnon the ring and crouch. Combine that with being extremely drunk… Easy to lose your balance.

Where do the balls and the penis actually go in those?
