What is trackmania?
A racing game that has a very nice track builder and is very open to modding. Its focus is on the individual driver and the time they achieve on a track.
Flying for hundreds of meters, drifting under water, going at high speeds through multiple loopings, sliding on ice and so much more is totally possible with Trackmania.
Try it, the base game is free and their pricing for online services and cups is totally fine.
Ah man, I've been playing various Trackmania titles since 2013 but I still struggle with some of the campaign author medals and my placements are only around top 5-10% of players. Better than average sure, but not "exponentially" [sic] despite years of experience :(
Other people are sometimes amazed by my language skills. I'm German, know English pretty well, and am learning japanese since about half a year. I'm not too sure, if how many languages/how good most people speak/understand.
I'm good at being optimistic and happy I would say. I'm also very calm and rational in situations many would find themselves angry or sad. One things that definitely helps is walking. It gives you time to think and appreciate your surroundings.
And of course, I'm good with computers. I have some servers I regularly do some new stuff with, and work in Cybersecurity (as student but hey you got to start somewhere)
I guess having strong opinions based on science, logic and empathy, if I have gathered enough evidence and knowledge about it and also being honest about not knowing enough about a topic to form an opinion on that topic. This should be the norm.
Pretty much everything. The average person can't read and write, can't swim, can't run or hold a steering wheel with two hands, because the average person doesn't have two legs and two arms, etc
Anyone in this thread could probably just cite their career.
Joke's on you, my career is nonexistent!
I have two useless talents:
- Highly developed sense of smell (sometimes a liability)
- Ability to identify voice actors with high accuracy
I once identified the source of a minute gas leak in my basement, which had evaded the calibrated detection equipment of the utility company, so I guess I can't say it's completely useless.
Did you ever puke in a wastebin just because you're overwhelmed by the smell?
and then go crazy because of the smell of puke in the wastebin?
Life is hell.
