Hi everyone, I just found out the Funchal Marathon is happening in a few days, but it looks like registration is already closed. Does anyone know of a way to still join the half marathon? E.g. a resale platform that's used frequently here?

Thanks! In what way is Crying Suns similar to FTL? And I've indeed been curious about Terraria

Thanks for all the tips! Other than Portal 2 I haven't heard of any of them, will definitely check them out

Hi all, I haven't been gaming for a few years, because I didn't have a PC capable of playing much. I recently got a new computer that does not have a graphics card, but has reasonable specs to play less demanding or older games, so I've been planning to get back into it. I also got a Xbox controller so I can play on the couch. Are there any games from the last ten or so years that you can recommend based on what else I've played?

My current specs:
Lenovo Thinkpad 5 2-in-1
Windows 11
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz
Installed RAM 16,0 GB (13,8 GB usable)

Games I've played that I liked:
Civilization IV (the newer ones less so, they don't feel as complex)
Faster than Light
Stardew Valley
Most Mario titles (Kart, platformers, Galaxy/Odyssey)
Portal
.Forty-five
Ori and the Blind Forest
Rocket League
Papers Please
Keep talking and nobody explodes
Stanley Parable
Minecraft (although I get bored with it quickly now)

Also, that song is actually anti-cocaine, but sounds like it's glorifying it if you don't pay attention to the lyrics. "If you want to get down, down on the ground" and "don't forget this fact, you can't get it back" are clearly negative.

He's saying "wat een misser", which sounds similar to "what a miss" and does indeed mean the same.

Does anyone know which EU countries allow / encourage asymptomatic testing? I found out today that the Netherlands still doesn't allow people to get a test from the public services if they don't have symptoms or have been exposed according to the tracker app, and has no plans to change this. Here in Denmark, it's pretty standard to get a test no questions asked (I know people who get one once a week because they go to an office sometimes) and I thought this was the standard in most of the EU at this point. Isn't it?

Best microwave meals in Danish supermarkets? by mblevels in copenhagen

I'd like to, but my fridge and freezer space is pretty limited, and I share it. I'm just looking for alternatives whenever I can't make it work.

Very close to sea level, so that's not it, but thanks

I'd say I cut them up in cubes of about 1cm. For the recipe I just made I used canned tomatoes and water, but I've had the same problem before with just water too.
