Doordash needs to just die a death, and people need to get off their arses and get their own shit. It's just legitimising exploitation (paying people literally nothing for running around everywhere) under the banner of "it creates jobs!"

    Yeah, you've more or less got it- you pay if you want them to host it. But the open source is just that, in that you can entirely self host the software on your own machinery. That's exactly what we do. The only cost for us here being the cost of renting the server (Hetzner in this case).

    So, for anyone wanting to create an account with our instance, it's entirely free ☺️

    Huh. After all the Discord shite with face verification shite, me and my community (The Gamers' Tavern) moved across to a forum first platform which also has live chat, and it has been an absolute breath of fresh air.

    Bring back more forums imo

    Source: Klipy themselves.

    Why Fluxer over Stoat, there is a lot to unpack here, but self hosting was much more mature and well thought out with Fluxer. Docker support was way beyond Stoat, and development is proceeding at a much better rate with mobile apps, integrations etc. We probably answer a lot of the questions here: https://blog.gamerstavern.online/innkeeper/about-community-and-communities

    Worth noting that while Klipy is headed up by ex Tenor employees, Google has also heavily invested in Klipy.

    At my community (The Gamers' Tavern) we ditched Discord (when all the age verification crap started) in favour of Discourse and Fluxer (Discord clone, but open source and self hostable) and currently Klipy integration is offering a sketchy and vague pricing model that is looking like it is going to include ads.

    So, that's the vein that runs through all of this. Google killed Tenor, funded a new startup that'll eventually likely be somewhere they can of course shove ads into.

    Assetto Corsa Rally & RBR vs EA WRC (lemmy.world)
     

    So, I indulged in a spot of rally last night, having not done any in a long while. I started in Assetto Corsa Rally, and then moved over to EA WRC. I can't believe how much I was baffled by how janky the physics in EA WRC felt. I guess I've just been playing it for so long that I got used what the physics in EA WRC did and how to work around them. Safe to say, ACR is lightyears ahead in terms of car handling. Whilst it isn't perfect by any means and still has a lot of work to do (it is still early access I guess), they are very much on the realistic end and you feel as though you can actually tell what the car is going to do/trying to do.

    So this got me thinking, I installed the OG: Richard Burns Rally. I was absolutely blown away by the car physics and how the force feedback feels in that game. I really need to do a video about it. I played it a year or so ago, but since then there has been a major graphical update and extras to the game that it really continues to be a worthwhile contender.

    My only gripes with RBR is the lack of realistic car sounds and a realistic damage mod, with the occasional weird flat look appearance of the graphics.

    If you're into rally games or sim racing, you really, really need to install this game and try it. After all, it is **completely free.**

    Massive thanks to everyone who joined me on last night's stream! VOD on the attached link if you’re interested :) I genuinely had a great laugh chatting to you all while I crashed the hell out of everything.

    Onto the review side of it, BeamNG.Drive Rally is up there with one of the best rally experiences you can have in today's day and age. The only few things that hold it back currently are two things in my opinion:

    1. There aren't any official cars. All the cars are generically branded and (petrolheads may get me on this) engine sounds are ficitional. However, they are still hecking great fun and this doesn't take away too much from the experience.

    2. This is not a fault or a bug, but there aren't enough variation in rally stages yet. Given that it is still early release, there are only a few stages to choose from, with only 2 out of 9 being gravel/mud. However, the ones that are available to choose from are brilliantly good fun.

    The rally mod strikes that balance perfectly in that because of the realistic physics and damage model, you really connect with the car and stages you're driving because you are fearful of trying anything extreme- though if you do try something wild and it pays off, the feeling of accomplishment is an awesome one.

    Best of all? The game is only £20 ish. Hands down the BEST value for money driving game you can get available today and this is a hill I'll happily die on.

    Bravo BeamNG devs, bravo.
