Indeed, props to OP for caring about their neighbours. In some countries motorcycles are banned on certain roads because of the nuisance.
When riding through built-up areas I try to keep the noise down on my ICE bike (which isn't that loud to begin with, BMW R1200RT), but ideally I take my electric bike. So much fun to ride without disturbing other people's peace and quiet. That also means that I can ride it any way I like, because hard acceleration is about as quiet as normal riding.
I don't remember it being that bad on my 1070 mobile laptop (8th gen Intel i5 H if I'm not mistaken), but it was sub 25 fps also. On my PC it ran better, but after upgrading to a 3080 with a 5800X3D was when it ran smoothly at higher resolutions, although the game also had received some updates by then.
I had some cars that were following an invisible road above where the real road was a few times, and although that broke immersion a bit, I also still had a lot of fun with the game.
You're certainly right about that!
Honestly though, I believe the early issues with the game were mostly on consoles. On a decently specced PC, the game would run nicely right after launch, with some bugs, but nothing game breaking. I got it right after launch day and enjoyed myself quite a bit with it. The police and the way the cars drove were the things that bothered me the most.
This is the way
I was sceptical at first too, but a not-paid-for search engine will either have ads, paid results or try to monetize the search data in some way. I feel it helps me find what I need, better than the alternatives I tried, and I like the features and configuration options it has.
Ah, if that's what you meant you're absolutely right. I think there's only one country in Europe where they have some (rather limited) form of carry by the public (Czech Republic if I'm not mistaken)
Yes, and as far as I know so do the UK (even air rifles are rather restricted there) and Singapore. There will undoubtedly be others, but I'd be surprised if that's anywhere near a majority (if you consider strict gun laws to be the ones that make it very hard for people to legally own firearms).
I wouldn't go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don't know many countries with such a ban. I don't know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that's certainly a difference.
Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.
In that case it sounds like Tuta is the right choice for you. I just wanted to make sure you knew about the drawbacks. For me the search thing is what killed it, because I regularly search older emails.
That's another advantage of the faired ones. They draw more attention and in the event that you do crash, they offer some protection as well.
