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

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.

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)

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

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from “España Vaciada”, life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well … but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it’s rather shit.

I’m fully on board with “tourists go home”. If we get more holiday let’s in the village we’re thinking of moving more inland.

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!

What good native Linux ARM games are there?

That’s a very philosophically positive way of thinking about it!

I’m guessing your car was quite a lot more expensive

It cruises at about 80km/h and on road the range is about 300km (I get 2.5L/100km but my other half gets 2.2L/100km because she doesn’t ride as agressively).

The original version was made as a cheap farm bike for Spain, but the new facelifted version is … a cheap farm bike in a new hat, lol

The marketing for it is dire, it’s basically a slow, lightweight, farm bike that can get pretty much anywhere off road, which is ideal for where I live

It’s interesting that different people take different things away from the game, I love the base game with small trucks - team Fleetstar!

It is the cost that’s holding me back now, I paid €2700 for my 2021 Tango a year ago and it has an expected lifespan of about 10 years at my current rate / style of use. There are other factors, but that’s the main one … I figure it will be the last petrol bike I buy.

Thanks for replying - I’m always dubious of the claimed ranges on anything electric being shown on youtube!

At the moment I use a small petrol motorbike, at some point though I’ll make the switch I’m sure :-)

Cool, what sort of range are you getting?

Ah yes, IIRC they’re quick, light, but lack the sort of pulling power one would want in mud … kinda hard to find that outside of a full-blown motorbike!

Well, you had an adventure!

What sort of bike do you have?
