These days I play a lot of Forza Horizon 4 and not much else, since I haven’t found anything else to really click. There’s a couple good ones out there though: Motor Town is pretty good as a car game in general, not just racing. Also BeamNg if you just wanna fuck around with the physics engine. Ooh, and Dakar Desert Rally is a fantastic rally raid simulation (albeit somewhat flawed)

Otherwise I would give some classics a shout: GRID the original, still holds up today. Also NFS Porsche, which was so ahead of its time it’s ridiculous.

Almost forgot: Driver San Francisco is a gem of a game, and Re-Volt, which is bound to get the remaster treatment any day now.

This article reads like an ad.

For me, the best change in Firefox 130 is Firefox Labs. This new section in Settings makes it easy to opt-in to try-out experimental features in development for future releases. If you’ve used Firefox Nightly builds you may be familiar with this page.

A handful of ‘experiments’ are offered in this release, including the handy auto-open picture-in-picture option I wrote about recently, and the ability to access an AI chatbot of your choice from a sidebar, or selecting text and clicking the sparkle emoji.

Well if they’re out of original IP maybe they should, you know, CREATE some original IP. Surely there’s bound to be some creatives left in that behemoth of a company.

I know I know, it’s a stock listed company and these just stop innovating and just buy up studios, but they could try it for once.

30 million? For a billion pictures of faces? Lol. Of course they hacen’t appealed, that fine is a pittance to them.

I don’t understand the vitriol either. Must be a lemmy thing ( see every thread about microsoft doing something shitty and people going “you deserve it if you use windows/don’t use linux” ). Even the reddit threads related to this issue aren’t this bad, they’re mostly friendly and helpful towards the guys that got grifted.

I’m cautiosly optimistic. On the one hand the ubisoft mainz team ( formerly Related Designs ) have always delivered wrt anno games. On the other corporate Ubi and their tendency to enshittify everything they touch.

As a fan of futuristic annos I’m also not big on the theme, but they did outdo themselves with 1800, so there’s hope.

Starfield was the same. Looked pretty meh, but almost all (initial) reviewers gave it high marks. It wasn’t until people started playing that the truthful reviews surfaced. Guessing either paid reviews, or reviewers having a skewed view of what makes a game great.

Its fascinating to see that a chinese state controlled app has the power to potentially destabilize small economies. Also fuck influencers, they are a plague on this world.

Serious question: in what way did maps.me get shitty? I’ve been using it for years as a gps replacement and other than being closed source and having a paid tier found no issue with it ( or at least no extra issues compared to other OSM apps )

Fair enough

Yeah, android authority posts a lot of Google-favorable “articles”. Almost as if they were getting paid to.

A shame motorola is cutting back features on their low end phones as well. They used to be the only decent manufacturer that offered fm radio. That’s now down to a handful of phones. The jack is gone as well. Expandable storage is also growing ever rarer. Meanwhile their cameras are still shit, their manufacturing quality is down, they don’t even bother with ip ratings. So what’s their selling point? Why would you buy a budget moto nowadays instead of dozens of other, better priced and better equipped alternatives? The gestures?

Yes, but the nexuses did not have the courage and the vision to remove jacks and sd cards, all while getting more expensive. Fuck I miss me a proper nexus.

This is rich, coming from the government that labels pro-palestine protestors as extremists and antisemites ( yes I’m aware that the government changed, but looks like the new ones are more than happy to continue the policies ).

The Play Integrity API was never meant to detect fraudulent apps, but to make it easy for google to become the arbiter of what’s trustworthy and what’s not. They knew this of course, but this lawsuit indicates they might have something solid to stand on. Good luck GrapheneOS!

You’re offended that a foreign xenophobic tabloid did not accurately depict her indian heritage in a goddamn caricature? Come on man, live and let live.

Is there a way to play this without installing EA spyware?

Holy smokes! That account has to be a bot. Awful incoherent ramblings and correct grammar just don’t mix.

Yeah, privacy. That’s definitely what it’s for

She will probably discuss trade and investment opportunities related to Italy, not the whole EU.
