Yeah, I grew up in a remote place, lived somewhere with to-the-door post for quite a while, and now live in a remote place again … I pick up my post from the village bar, and it’s a very good excuse to stop for a drink while I’m there :-)

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.

Only if the monkey can tap dance

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.

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.
