    I’m a wolf, so mine’s a sheath. 🐺

    (well, technically, the sheath is the outer thing around it, and when it’s out of the sheath I still have to figure out what to call it. But when it’s stowed away? sheath!)

    (also fun fact: I have a permanent boner. Literally, there’s a bone in there. :3)

  • If you like burnout paradise’s “open world driving around doing stuff” vibes, you’ll probably get a kick out of Forza Horizon! That’s basically its whole thing too (slightly more realism, slightly less fast-paced craziness, big open world that’s a pleasure to drive around in). We have and absolutely love FH4. (Shame it got delisted.)

    So yeah, can recommend.

    Forza Motorsport is more like other Burnout/NFS where you’re on closed tracks with no open world, from what we hear.

    Controls aren’t bad, and you can remap stuff if you need (at least on PC, dunno about console, but I would hope you can there). It’s got loads of options from Burnout Paradise type arcadey down to shifting-with-clutch, you can adjust it whenever you like (well, maybe not in the middle of a race but besides that). At least in FH4. I’m assuming 6 is similar.

  • Personally, my problem with systemd is that it’s slowly trying to take over everything it possibly can, and be as hard to remove as possible.

    It’s not “so you just think it’s all a single binary!”. No, I’m 100% aware it’s multiple binaries. The problem is that it’s a single project, and that’s too much power to give to one single project.

    “oh but you can swap out the individual parts!” Sure. For SOME of them. Until you swap out the systemd init and suddenly have to relearn a shitton of completely random other stuff because systemd was doing a boatload of other things. Might as well get that out of the way early and use normal other projects for the other stuff, and also ditching the init system can’t hurt just to reduce their stranglehold.

    Also OpenRC might be worth looking into. “systemd or Old™ Nasty™ sysv scripts” is a false dichotomy, openrc’s init scripts are declarative like systemd units (and it also supports sysv scripts). There are also totally different init systems (but we don’t know much about them, we started with systemd and then jumped to openrc recently).
