In the US they were built for the car as a mode of transport when European cities where built in a way that was a lot more pedestrian friendly.
Indeed!
I believe its because cities where already in place when the car was invented.
Nope!

You're kinda arguing my point tho, so maybe I didn't communicate it very well.
If a character such as Trump gaining power can be considered a symptom, then the conditions that allow it is the disease. I.e. the points you make, with news networks not beholden to facts, lack of education and critical thought.
All of this is what I would argue is the underlying cause and conditions that are fertile grounds for populists. Also, just a little reminder that Hitler first succeeded on his second attempt at becoming a dictator. And unlike in the US, he was imprisoned for the first attempt.
Isn't Trump just a symptom? What scares the shit out of me, isn't Trump. It's that Americans voted for him once, and a repeat of that shit show is somehow again a possibility. Even 5% thinking that could be a good idea, would be cause for concern. 10% is "what the actual fuck America...".
Remove Trump from the picture, and the issue is still there. The people who would vote for him, and the machinery in place that can convince them of it.
Imagine someone as vile as Trump, but not dumb as a sponge....
You probably ended up in the wrong confirmation bias bubble in the world of black box "news" content filtering. It's the most dangerous thing about Facebook/Tiktok.
That, and/or another round psyops funding from Israel et al.
There are so many good games being made these days. I don't understand why people still reward bad practices.
I tried Heroic Launcher. It's exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion
That whatever species ends up dominating the earth with tools and technology branches out from bonobos instead.
How many do you have now?
Thanks. I will try it out. I'm pretty sure it was Lutris I had tried previously, and it didn't work very well. As for Epic, I'd rather not game, than have to run it, even through Wine.

Though consider other suggestions like Heroic Launcher and Lutris. I cannot vouch for them, but there is certainly a better way than how I do it.
Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.
Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It's exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I've now placed in the spoiler.

PS: Surround all paths with double quotes. Both the TARGET
and START IN
fields. The working directory is almost always the directory that the executable is in.
When updating a game, it is sort of the same story. Download update files. Change the entry to run the update. Update. Change the entry back.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this. So I'll probably check the Heroic Launcher. I remember trying similar things in the past, and I wasn't all that happy with it.
I've used DOS, 3.11 to all the way to 11. Switched to Linux as main driver around 2009. Used MacOS at work for over a year now. I occasionally boot into windows for rare game that uses some anti cheat that doesn't play well with wine.
I'm old enough that I just want things to work. I don't care for any fanboyism. These are my opinions:
Windows is a mess. It has different UI from different decades, depending on what and where. NT kernel is ancient. The registry is a horror show. The only edge it has, is third party software, like propriatery drivers. that's it. And that's isn't a merit of windows, but rather market share.
MacOS is inconsistent at every turn. It's frustrating to use, and riddled with UX bugs, and seemingly deliberate lack of functionality. The core tooling, like the file manager, is absolute garbage. The only good thing it has going it, is that the Unix core is solid. In that year, I've experienced a soft brick once, that almost was a hard brick, and the reason was having set the display refresh rate from 120 to 60 Hz. Something I changed BTW, because certain animation transitions in MacOS took twice as long on 120 Hz... Yeah, top notch QA there Apple.
Linux. It has its own flaws. For sure. But as for "just works", it happens so often, that it's exactly why Windows and MacOS feels so frustrating. I'd have my grandmother use Linux.
And, I'm not just saying this. When I upgraded components on windows, I spent 2 hours debugging problems. One of the problems was also that it reverted a GPU driver, where every single version information was unmistakably older. It also made it not work.
I've also experienced that the WiFi network adapter also doesn't work until I download some proprietary software over ethernet cable.
On Linux? I didn't need to do a single thing in either case. It for sure didn't use to be this way. In 2009 I was hunting WiFi drivers for fedora over ethernet. But in the last, say 5 years, on Arch, it's been amazing. Did I mention that I use arch?
Ps: The last 4 times I've had problems on Linux have been:
