Not only would you need your house to be strong enough to withstand the hurricane’s wind, your house will need to withstand whatever it is blowing around at 100mph+

oh, i see. You’re right, I guess I misread.
I think “it is considered extremely disrespectful for anyone who is not black to use that word […]” would have been clearer, or at least make it harder to miss the “not”.
Now, it is considered extremely respectful for anyone who is not black to not use that word to refer to black people without permission
looks like you’re missing a negation here. It’s the opposite of “extremely respectful” ;)
EDIT: disregard
I remember an email I sent to Randall Munroe once, asking where I can buy his ebook “What if” without DRM.
He emailed me back that unfortunately there is no place to buy it without DRM, because of the publisher, but he also linked this comic in his email:
If wasps realize that I am a giant who can easily kill them, why are they so incessant on invading my personal space?
I’s like going to a kickboxing tournament as an untrained person and flipping off every kickboxer within kickboxing range, then slapping them when they tell you to fuck off.
FH4 is only 4 dollars
What country do you live in? For me it’s currently $/€14 in the regular version, 20 for the deluxe ultimate edition.
Also note that the game will be getting delisted in december, so now might be the last chance to get it at a discount.
Favourite racing game is always highly dependent on what I am looking for.
Forza Motorsport 4 (Not Horizon) was one of the best racing simcades i’ve enjoyed playing, it has solid sim-ish racing and it is very satisfying to build up a garage and take a car for a spin on some of the gorgeous original or real life racetracks. Unfortunately, it’s an xbox 360 exclusive and not backwards compatible on xbox one or series x, so not really playable on current systems. I am stll looking for a similar experience on a modern pc.
I also enjoy “Project Cars” and it’s sequel “Project Cars 2”. I can easily play the games on my current PC or the Steam Deck, but the game can be challenging on a gamepad - not impossible, but managable. It does lack some beautiful original tracks as it only features real life circuits and it does lack the satisfaction of having to “earn” and build up a collection of cars and making them your own. Unfortunately, both games have been delisted on storefronts and can no longer officially be purchased, but if you can get your hands on a PC Key, you can still enjoy the games on a modern system.
If I want to enjoy some sim racing, I’ll go with Assetto Corsa or Assetto Corsa Competizione. Great fun with a steering wheel, not really my thing with a gamepad. Modding possibilities for AC are basically endless on PC, but again, lacking some sort of progression system that will allow you to build up a car collection.
Forza Horizon 3 with its Hot-Wheels Expansion was probably my favourite open-world arcade racer, unfortunately it’s also delisted, and while I still have the physical xbox one version, that means I can’t play it on PC. Forza Horizon 4 (with the Lego expansion) is the next best thing (still far better than FH5) and is still available on PC, but will also be delisted in december (grab FH4 while you still can!)
I have also spent a lot of time playing Burnout Paradise, but I still prefer Burnout Revenge over it’s younger open-world brother.
Wreckfest is a great spiritual succesor to the already great Flatout 1/2 and certainly the best banger racer you can currently get. The damage model is very convicing and it’s good fun to wreck some CPU racers.
BLUR - an underrated battle racer, with a really fun 4 player splitscreen. Calling it “Mario Kart with real cars” is, imho a bit too simple, but it does get the point across quite well.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) - early 2000s yellow/brown tinted aesthetics aside, the game still looks good today and police chases can go on forever. Great fun.
Not a racing game, but a honorable mention: American/Euro Truck Simulator 2, bought it as a joke back then, but it does feel cathartic at times.
If you don’t have a partner, you’re bi yourself.
There will never be a “Risk of Rain 3”
Looks like the RoR IP belongs to Gearbox.
Now I am imagining a nuclear powered magic wand.
Pro Version of this game:
Listen to “Hot dog” by Limp Bizkit and take a shot for every “fuck” you hear.
Everything is cake, and the cake is a lie. Everything is a lie, we are living in the matrix.
Lots of people recommend Arch
Arch really is a hands-on distro. Installing it can feel like an accomplishment and a learning experience, but particularly when you have other people using the system, you might be better off with a less hands-on distro like manjaro (which is based on arch) or mint (based on ubuntu).
Mind you, even when using manjaro, you are legally not allowed to say “I use Arch, btw”.
come closer, and maybe i’ll tell you.
Personally, I am going to stick with KDE - my main PC has 256GiB of memory (It’s a 2016 CAD workstation that I stuck a GTX 1080 in), so I really don’t care that much about memory. But even on my lower end bay-trail lenovo tablet, KDE doesn’t seem much worse than XFCE and by sticking with KDE, I don’t have to “learn” both Desktop environments. KDE came with it’s own drop-down terminal called Yakuake, btw. But I want to use the terminal as little as necessary.
At first I installed Arch on my main rig, but I then decided to switch to manjaro because I am worried that Arch might be a bit more “volatile” when it comes to updates than a more “stable” distro like manjaro.
My first experience with Linux was 15 years ago, when I switched to ubuntu Linux as my Laptop OS for 2 years, and within the first week of installing it, I saw the words “uninstalling gnome-desktop” appear during a distro-upgrade, and being a linux noob, reinstalling my system afterwards seemed to be the quicker sollution to the system rebooting to a shell only. I’d prefer that not happening again.
Just say that you enjoy edging, we don’t judge.
Just two weeks ago, I switched over my main PC, my Laptop and my Lenovo Miix 2 to Manjaro Linux.
This was single-handedly my doing is what I am trying to say.
Fabricated and homosexual.
