I give a shit but that doesn’t mean I have the money to buy games from anywhere…

King of Meat is the game.

Ah ok, I see. I read your response in the wrong way, my bad.

OP said “only use their torrents” and they want direct download options…

Thanks. Gonna check this out :)

MAM is myanonamouse which is a private tracker focusing on books and audiobooks. It is generally seen as one of the easier trackers to both get into and maintain your ratios on and is a good place to learn how private trackers work.

From there it helps you get into others by having a proven track record as well as being able to get invites via the MAM forum sometimes from other users etc.

I love the place as a lot of what I get is audiobooks anyway, it is super friendly and people will help you out as long as you have done your due diligence and aren’t asking stupid questions that are covered in their already extensive documentation and forum.

Yes but also no, the fairphone doesn’t meet the extensive list of requirements required to maintain the goal of GrapheneOS - List of requirements for devices

I don’t know how long you have used Strava for but for how long I used it a lot of those features you now pay for used to be standard features that came with the app. You didn’t need to pay to get access to all those things and when you have been using features for literally a decade and then suddenly they are held to ransom it kind of pisses you off and makes you not want to use that shit any longer.

I’ll be honest I haven’t looked super into alternatives as of yet as I have only recently got around to dropping Garmin which was fine for me for a long time so maybe there is something out there already that fits my needs anyway :)

Sweet, thank for the recommendation. I will check that out when I get a chance. I think I dropped Strava before you as I don’t remember that, I was just pissed off with the constant erosion of key features put behind paywalls since I had been using them since 2010 or something like that so it just became too much that things I had used for years were now gone!

Who, Garmin? The fact that they added a paid subscription model “Garmin Connect +” for “premium features” that is the first step in the enshittification play book and how Strava started before they slowly erodes features away and put them behind a pay wall of a “subscription service”. I spent a lot of money on watches over my 15 plus years of using Garmin products and do not appreciate them adding paid subscription bullshit.

Add on to that the fact they are an American company with no offline options I’d rather not be sending a lot of sensitive health and location settings to American servers constantly every single day. So those two factors should be reason enough for everyone to start rejecting them IMO.

This is cool but I dropped Strava a while ago due to their constant enshittification. As another poster said I would be super interested in something similar that allows importing data from different sources as I have just also dropped garmin for the same reasons and moved to gadgetbridge but will probably miss some of the more granular comparison abilities garmin offered.

Good luck either way with this!

Yeh, Road Rash was the fucking shit, it was all downhill since then.

I miss Blackberry a lot but this ain’t it.

Heading Out is a driving game where you are trying to make it across the country and there are lots of branching stories and paths based on your choices and who you meet along the way. It is quite stylised and really had me hooked when I first played it. Definitely worth a try! The end was quite memorable.

Keep Driving is a driving / road trip simulator. This one didn’t click as well with me and I couldn’t really get into it but it also had different paths and stories based on your different choice etc and may be worth checking out for you.

Was gonna say Noita, great game but unforgiving as fuck!

That is because Vans are trash, they aren’t skateboard shoes they are fashion shoes that are marketed as skateboard shoes.

If you buy some proper shoes designed for skating they should last a bit better. I presume if you are riding brakeless then you mostly have issues with the soles, like I do braking when skating.

I have had good luck with Osiris, Es and Globe in the last few years but at the end of the day applying such aggressive friction you are always gonna burn through shoes fast than you would by just walking.

My average is around a year before I start braking with skin.

It says “Early access play starts 4 days early on May 15”, implying the release date is 19th May.

That doesn’t really work in my experience because artists seem to be incapable of tagging their work correctly.
