What post 2021 game to buy?

Hey everyone!

I love the F1 games through 2017 to 2020 they were satisfying, nice to drive on a controller and not too difficult to handle the car so I could concentrate on strategy and I play them to this day, f1 2018 mostly.

However f1 2021 I find it just way to difficult to drive on a controller cars are very snappy and yhea just not my vibe

I also have f1 25 and it’s a lot worse than 2021, I find the cars way too floaty and just move around all the time, not fun at all

I’m looking to buy a modern f1 game with the last gen of cars and the Portimão track so what would you recommend from 2022 to 2024 on the ps5? Thank you

Casa que compre vinis/ Gira discos em Braga

Boa noite , ao vasculhar pelas coisas da minha falecida avó encontrei uma data de vinis e 2 gira discos dos anos 70

Os vinis tem uns bastantes conhecidos e outros bastante obscuros mas nenhum deles está em excelente estado, todos tem pequenos riscos não sei se isso invalida o seu uso

Os gira discos um deles tem tomada americana e outro não roda

Sabem de alguma casa no distrito de Braga que teria interesse em adquirir algo deste género? Obrigado

Fui multado pela CP - resolução

Há uns tempos fiz aqui um post sobre uma multa que recebi num comboio IC apesar de ter o bilhete pago, recibo do carregamento do passe verde, CC, bilhete no email, SMS com a reserva … apenas não tinha comigo o cartão físico do passe verde.

Post original aqui: https://www.reddit.com/r/portugueses/s/GnSxVs5ozu

Após queixa no livro de reclamações, e uma carta registada com as provas de tudo o bom senso prevaleceu e a coima foi anulada.

Isto para dizer que se vos acontecer o mesmo algum dia, não paguem nada, façam queixa no livro de reclamações e apresentem as provas.

Um grande obrigado pelas sugestões e apoio na resolução deste problema u/Senior_Judge2072, u/blabs0, u/LikesdeumMetaleiro, u/xasdown, u/AmimQueMeImporta, u/zooommsu, u/Financial_Theory_155 e u/Socialism_Causa_Fome

E um grande pisso para u/Helpful_Feeling_2047, u/_shady16, u/Florpenkorken e u/matafrauz96 , com respostas brilhantes como “são regras, paga” e “não és especial” que me deixam a pensar se tiveram falta de amor ao crescer, continuem a ser burros e a abanar a cabeça que vão longe 😂

Aquele abraço

Fui multado pela CP

O cenário é simples, estou num IC e esqueci me do cartão do passe verde em casa, o pica passou me multa.

No entanto tirei bilhete ontem e tenho a fatura comigo do carregamento do passe verde, não estou com vontade nenhuma de pagar 125 euros, malta que já tenha passado por isto sugestões?

A minha ideia era ir á bilheteira mostrar tudo e se não quiserem saber reclamar por carta mas gostava de ouvir de quem já tenha passado por isto. Obrigado

F1 2018 is still the absolute peak of the series

I’ve been going back to F1 2018 recently, and honestly, it just crazy how much the series has lost its way. The cars in 2018 were gorgeous, the HUD is beautifully simple, and there’s none of that bloated "Braking Point" nonsense and the driving was fun! Here is why I think it’s still the best game in the franchise.

The Driving & Physics

Let's be real: the modern cars (anything post-F1 2021) feel like massive, heavy boats. Playing on a controller without assists nowadays is exhausting. My hands physically hurt, and it takes 90% of my mental energy just to keep the car on track at a decent pace, which leads to spamming flashbacks.
In F1 2018, the handling is incredible. It’s so much easier to maintain a consistent pace, and even on worn tires, the car actually behaves predictably. I don't even use flashbacks anymore! Because driving only takes about 50% of my mental effort, I can actually focus on racing—managing my ERS, fuel, and planning my attacks or defenses. Combined with the simple HUD, it’s incredibly immersive. You just get into the zone.

The AI

Yeah, the AI is a bit crap at times, but hear me out: at least they aren't the suicidal dive-bombers we have in the recent titles. They compromise a bit too much when defending, making them somewhat easy to pass, but I honestly find this balance way more realistic than modern AI that tries to force an impossible overtake on every single corner. (Though I will admit, they are still way too OP in mixed conditions, but it is what it is).

Career Mode & Classic Cars

Forget the "specialists" system from the new games or the forced drama. F1 2018’s career mode is pure. You do your practice programs, answer interviews, and race. That’s it. You are a driver. No annoying mid-race objectives popping up to distract you.
Plus, between races, you get invitational events with Classic Cars—something that is sorely missed in the modern games and is so fun to play!
The R&D system is also straight to the point. You upgrade what you want. There are no artificial limits where you have to wait for "facility upgrades" to pass a certain threshold like in the current games. You can actually take a backmarker team to the front of the grid at your own pace.

Final note: the game just runs so well. It's super stable and honestly looks cleaner. It completely avoids that oversaturated, shaky, blurry visual mess that plagues the newer games.
Anyone else still playing 2018 and feeling the same way?

Painting my room this summer & removing the huge wardrobe. I have zero clue what colors to pick

Hey guys,

I'm planning to give my room a makeover this summer, mostly by painting it, but honestly, I'm terrible with colors and have no idea what to do.

A bit of context: I'm getting rid of that massive wooden wardrobe in the second pic, so I'm about to have way more space.

For the paint, I was thinking about doing an accent wall behind the bed, or maybe painting all the walls a different color (instead of just white). I just don't know what fits well with the wood furniture and the grey bed frame.

I'm also finally going to put a proper shade around that bare ceiling bulb and probably change the curtain rods.

Any suggestions for the wall colors? Open to any other layout tips too. Thanks!

Comboio avariado por balão de São João

Boa tarde amigos,

Ontem a voltar do São João no Porto de comboio vim no comboio que saiu às 00:50 de São Bento, minutos após o inicio da viagem houve um clarão vindo da parte de cima da carruagem e o comboio perdeu potência, minutos depois a mesma coisa aconteceu. Continuou a acontecer repetidamente até o comboio chegar a ermesinde onde houve um estouro enorme que assustou metade da gente para fora do comboio e o comboio parou.

Depois de falar com o maquinista ele disse que era um balão de São João que estava preso em cima do comboio nos fios, que acontece todos os anos e que íamos ter de esperar, como já sei como são as coisas com a cp fui me embora e arranjei transporte alternativo.

A título de curiosidade para alguém que estava nesse comboio, quanto tempo demorou o problema a ser resolvido?

Just hit the CeX jackpot! Got an Apple Watch SE 3 graded 'B' but it's flawless with 100% battery!

Hey everyone, I just had to share this because I'm super hyped.

I bought my very first Apple Watch, an SE 3 44mm GPS, from CeX for 200 euros. It was sold as a Grade B, but honestly, it is completely flawless. Not a single scratch, and the battery health is sitting perfectly at 100%!

Buying it brand new would have cost me 310 euros, so the savings are absolutely huge for a watch that feels like it came straight out of the box. Coming from a Mi Band, the difference is night and day. The Apple Watch is unbelievably comfortable on the wrist, but the absolute best part is how much it has already reduced my screen time. I barely pick up my phone now because I can just check notifications and manage everything right from my wrist.

Anyone else had this kind of luck with second-hand deals? I wonder what would make someone sell something so new

Cracking the CeX "Bulk Sale" Algorithm: My experience, theories, and questions on how to bypass it

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing some flipping recently (buying online and trading into CeX) and inevitably hit the dreaded "Bulk Sale" flag. However, during the process, I noticed some interesting patterns and even got a peek behind the curtain. I’ve formulated a few theories on how their system works and wanted to share them here to see if anyone can confirm, debunk, or share ways to bypass it.

The Context & The "Trigger": Over a short period, I made about 6 trade-ins spread across a few different stores. However, in one specific store ("Store A"), I made exactly 3 trade-ins. My first sale at this store was on 18/04 (April 18th). On my 3rd visit shortly after, the Bulk Sale flag was triggered.

Here is the interesting part: My dad also decided to sell some games from his collection at "Store A". He actually went on the exact same days as I did, but he brought a much smaller volume—only about 5 or 6 items each time. Despite the low volume, on his 3rd visit, he also got flagged for a Bulk Sale.

The Revelation (HQ Review): When my flag triggered, the staff told me they had to email the UK Central Pricing Team for approval. The staff member actually showed me the reply from HQ. The email explicitly stated that because my trade-in consisted of completely different titles (no duplicate copies of the same game), they were NOT going to apply the bulk discount. They approved the trade-in at full regular price.

My Hypotheses:

The Trigger is Time and Frequency-Related, Not Volume-Related: Since my dad got flagged on the exact same day for his 3rd visit despite only bringing 5/6 items, the algorithm seems to care more about how often you visit within a specific timeframe rather than how many items you bring.

The Trigger is Store-Specific, Not National: Since we both got flagged exactly on our 3rd visit to the same store (despite my overall account having more sales in other cities), I suspect the automated flag is tied to frequency per individual store within a certain timeframe (e.g., 3 visits in 30 days per store, considering my timeline started on 18/04). Also, I noticed once that a store in another city couldn't access my vouchers from a different store, making me think franchise systems might be somewhat isolated.

Unique Titles = Immunity from Price Cuts: The automated system is blind and just looks at frequency, but the human review at HQ actually looks at the invoice. If you aren't dumping 5 sealed copies of FIFA, HQ will waive the bulk penalty.

My Next Test: My plan is to visit a store in a completely different city where I haven't been recently. If the flag doesn't trigger, it proves the automated block is store-specific. If it does trigger, it proves the counter is national/account-wide, but I’ll test if HQ still approves it at full price because I’m only bringing single copies.

My Questions for you guys:

Is the bulk flag purely time/frequency-related? If I just space out my visits (e.g., waiting a few weeks/months between trade-ins), will that help avoid the flag entirely?

Has anyone else tested the waters with this? Is the 3-visit trigger per store accurate, or is it definitely account-wide?

Does anyone have any reliable tips or workarounds to bypass the automated flag entirely, aside from just spreading out visits across different cities?
