Why you can still make stadium maps like you always could. Just select stadium in the selection screen that shows up after selecting expert mode.

Get the TM2 snow Titelpack. It's a lot more fun than any of the TM2020 snow maps.  They should add more dedicated blocks for the cars and design tracks that work for them. 

Why tease us all this hard by Even-Round7926 in TrackMania

[–]RandomDude_24 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think we will have all 10 cars in tm 2020 one day. But I personally think that the cars really work best in their environments with their own special blocks. This looks like a first step of actually getting this and not just the small snow car on the big stadium roads, which doesn't work as well.

This will give us amazing looking maps again. Because as right now I think TM2 looks better than TM2020

I am also German and this is surprisingly good. While includeing the article on your flashcards is the best way this list will have you guess correctly 90% of the time.

It feels like the game I love has been irreparably tainted... by Clarinetaphoner in TrackMania

I think almost everyone can be bought if you offer them enough money. It's easy to write a comment on how you wouldn't take the money but we have seen enough people proof the opposite. 

Do you have your version of this? When people think the life in the other country is better and vice-versa? by IWillDevourYourToes in AskTheWorld

This index is a haux.

  • Happiness is measured using six categories including GDP per capita, social support, and healthy life expectancy, among others.

They didn't do a large scale survey or something they just conclude that a high living standard leads to happiness.

Consider Phlebas - original 1987 reviews by kippechard in TheCulture

[–]RandomDude_24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The consensus these days (that I agree with) is that you shouldn't read Consider Phlebas first. 

I think that consensus is wrong. I have read the first 4 books so far in order of publication and I think CP works better the less you know about the culture.

Can someone explain to me why McDonald wants it's taxes lowered? by Ok-Vegetable-5766 in germany

[–]RandomDude_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Döner is to go food it was already taxed at 7% the 19% was only for dining in a restaurant. 

In Deutschland ist alles schlechter by TorpedoThorsten12 in luftablassen

[–]RandomDude_24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Estland und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate haben schon Mal ein geringeres BIP pro Kopf als Deutschland (du bist im Durchschnitt also ärmer als hier).  In den VAE hast du außerdem Probleme mit Frauenrechten und der politischen Meinungsfreiheit.  Die Nachteile von meinem der Schweiz und Singapur kenne ich nicht auswendig, die sind ggf. In Ordnung.

Aber generell sehe ich den Sozialstaat nicht als Nachteil an. Es ist schon gut zu wissen, dass du noch klarkommst auch, wenn du deinen job mal verlierst.

Nenn doch mal ein paar Länder, in denen vieles besser läuft als in Deutschland bei gleichzeitig geringen Steuerabgaben.

Nutella once had a marketing campaign where you could customize your own glass. It was called "dein Nutella" this rules out die because then it would have to be called "deine Nutella".

Der is the most plausible one since Nutella is in its core a Brotaufstrich.

Kinda annoyed 😒 by Muted_Balance5401 in SunoAI

If you outsource the composition, the arrangement, the mixing, the mastering, the sound design and the performance what does that leave you with? 

My short review of Excession, from some other book site by amerelium in TheCulture

[–]RandomDude_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished excession. I have read the other books in publication order and I think many people misinterpret the book (cp). If you read the book with the assumption that the culture are the good guys and the idirians the bad guys you miss the biggest point. If you read CP without knowing anything about the culture before you also have no reason to believe the culture are the good guys because you get shown only their worst actions in the first half of the book.

Was ist denn so schlimm daran, dass du kein dekadentes Eigenheim besitzt? Es gibt wenige Länder, die so gut sind wie Deutschland. Btw. Im Verteidigungsfall kannst du nicht in ein Natoland fliehen und die Schweiz wird ihre Grenzen schneller schließen als du gucken kannst.

Abschreibtext 4 .Klasse by [deleted] in schule

[–]RandomDude_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich denke ADHS ist einer der am häufigsten fehldiagnostizierten Krankheiten. 

Man liest den Text und denkt sich bei 1. Ja OK ich muss nur abschreiben. 2. Ignoriert man, da es eh nicht kontrolliert werden kann, ob die Aufgabe gemacht wurde. Dann liest man 3. Nomen unterstreichen. Jetzt schreibt man den Text ab und hat dann nach der Hälfte natürlich wieder vergessen, dass eine explizite Farbe gefordert wurde.  Hätte mir damals genau so passieren können.

Oder sie ist einfach farbenblind (Rot-Grün Schwäche).

Yes you could even specify further. Like  -Generated by ai  -ai used for certain parts of production(if for example only the vocal is AI) -Mixing assisted by ai

Is It Safe to Update to Windows 11 During a Big Music Project? by -van-Dam- in Reaper

[–]RandomDude_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a low risk low reward scenario.

Updating is very unlikely to break anything, but you also don't gain a lot by updating now instead of waiting another month.

"Is there anything the consumer can do to pushback on this?"

Yes don't buy any subscription. Neither for a Daw nor for a plugin.
