  • Boomers shouldn't have to part with their homes. They, too, need a place to live.

    The issue is not Boomers owning the house they live in and refusing to leave it (even if it might be larger than they require) The issue is in particularly large corporations owning thousands of properties and taking them away from the housing market.

  • "ricing" in this context means heavily modifying the layout, theme and usability of the desktop environment.

    It's a term used in the Linux community and I believe it originally comes from the automotive tuning community, particularly the JDM (Japanese domestic market) subscene.

  • Downloading via a 2.4GHz wifi set up on the same dd-wrt router seems to be more stable, but also a lot slower.

    When downloading via desktop mode, when the connection drops out, I can not access any website using the browser. It seems as if there is an issue with the wifi driver when using 5GHz wifi.

  • That's a good idea, didn't occur to me. I should have a few adapters lying around somewhere, I will give this a shot.

    Other steam clients (my PC) are not affected by this, but it's connected to the router via ethernet.

  • The game had a free-to-play weekend a few months ago, and I must say that it was somewhat disappointing, particularly in terms of gameplay, but not "aweful". I personally find the monetization model repulsive. The game is just barely half a year old, but it already has 3 season passes for $10 each. It remains on my wishlist for whenever it is available as a complete bundle for a few euros, but I definately don't see me getting it anytime soon.

    As far as gameplay goes, I much prefered the Lego Expansion for Forza Horizon 4 back then.

    As far as playing it on the steam deck: It played fine I wasn't able to notice any framedrops, but the fan was spinning up more than I would have expected, given the graphics.

    EDIT: If you're looking for a fun "toy racer", you might be interested on Hot Wheels Unleashed: https://store.steampowered.com/sub/730504/ It also suffered from a predatory monetization model when it was released, but the GOTY edition is a complete bundle. I'd recommend not getting its sequel (Hot Wheels Unleashed 2), until it too gets the GOTY treatment as a complete bundle.

  • It did, but it was a "premium feature" - paying users would have to "boost" a community to alow them to enable this feature.

    Only when enough users boosted, the feature became available. And once that threshold was no longer reached, the feature would go away.
