For a free mod, that’s not a bad thing per se. Consider those voice lines were probably placeholders in the hopes someone could come around and better them. Which looks like that’s happening anyway.

Warframe in the background…

Casualties Unknown

lmao they didn’t even try to color correct the piss filter

Expensive things made by expensive people. Individual efforts don’t have the compute power to compete.

Controversial take: FH5 is entertaining, and the weeklys are a challenge to knock out every time.

Except for when The Trial decides to run The Colossus as one of the races. I’ll just grind the 5-pointers instead, it’s quicker.

We were almost there.

Not if the bank won’t accept the deposits

Welp, guess I’m going to not buy it harder then…

I like Forza because I can play it on PC, unlike Gran Turismo. Shame.

Farming Simulator

Intel still doing the new socket every generation thing? Meanwhile, AMD using one socket for 8 years and 5 generations…

It was alright, MK64, but my only real gripe is the handling. When you start your turn in, the kart strafes opposite of the direction you are turning, which makes small adjustments difficult at best.

Execs: “You have outlived your usefulness.”

Any XBOX style controller that uses TMR sensors for the sticks, so you don’t ever have to worry about atick drift.

Almost as if requiring a whole new platform every single generation might make it harder to sell upgrades, I dunno…

Waydroid on a linux laptop with the wifi adapter removed is option 2

Nope

Closest thing is the Librem5, which had addon modems, so you could dismantle it and remove the bt/wifi/modem

I know someone that is deathly afraid of tracking by Microsoft to upgrade their pc from Windows 8. They won’t spend the time to learn linux, as they use a proprietary app specific to windows for what they use. I point out Win8 has the same kind of data collection and they dismiss it with a head-in-the-sand response.

Me hitting the Wishlist button be like

Me hoping for a PC release

I remember the days of triforce armor and giant gun on tiny chassis kinds of bots.

Maybe they’re all deep diving in the newly extended iceberg that is Warframe lore

DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAA

Warframe. Focus on the Main Quest. That is all.

TVR Speed 12. Any game it’s in. Impossible to drive, but when you sort out the handling setup, it is almost unstoppable.

Works fine now that they fixed the problem, but that was an oops for sure.

“Everyone has AIDS!”

People who don’t like Palworld, maybe give a real reason? The AI stuff was made up by a salty troll who admitted later he made it up. It being “legally distinct from pokémon” isn’t a good enough reason. It having the ability to

may be a reason to be upset about the gameplay, but then again, many, many, many RPGs have you culling the local wildlife and depopulating a nation for quests too. Neither is the Genshin Impact art style a reason to hate it. That’s just JRPG asthetics.

Factorio: Space Age has entered the chat

Server authoritative multiplayer system (server only takes player inputs and spits out results, making editing data impossible), with a lag prediction system clientside, works wonders. Aimbotting will always exist, but detection should be server side.

Turns out vehicle simulations are hard. You either have games that play like a cabinet arcade or require a “simmer” setup (control cockpit) to really be good at.

And then there’s the work that goes into the level of detail. Example, Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t even have the underside of most cars modelled, to save on polys and performance, but there’s still a lot of little details that have to be modelled, textured, and sound recorded. This is even more important when a driving game goes into VR, because you will notice when something in the interior is missing or offmodel.

Also shoutout to Live For Speed, the active-since-Windows-XP open beta / early access mediumcore simulation that’s had VR support for a long while, and a release date that will probably coincide with Half Life 3.

So basically if Elite and NMS had EVE’s player economy…

Correct. Look at CalyxOS and GrapheneOS and what they support.

Someone else that uses FairMail! I like it because email PGP signatures.

DRM on Steam is a choice made by the game publishers selling on Steam

Palworld monsters are not AI generated. The artist would very much like to stop being compared to an AI.

Forza Horizon 5. Why 5? Because unlike 4, it doesn’t crash to desktop a lot… although 4 has more to do and a more interesting season system (the tropics has “seasons” but not the snow and scorch temprature swings like people in temperate latitudes are used to), 5 just has a bit more polish, and bold move with taking it to Mexico.

I also am watching the progression of Forza Motorsport 7, because the FM series is basically not-Gran-Turismo and I can play it on my gaming PC (no consoles here).

I used to be all about Gran Turismo back in the day, as well as the DiRT series and even Race Driver. Codemasters games, though, tended to be very arcadey. I need to get Dirt Rally 2, as I played a bit of 1 and it was pretty good.

I also remember Spintires and its spiritual successors Mudrunner and Snowrunner. Fun off-roading sandbox games with mud physics… because no offroading game has even attempted that in the level of detail ST/MR has. Also, the original publisher of ST is the worst, and they’ve broken the original game, just get Mudrunner or Snowrunner for a better experience.

Also, I am on the lookout for spacecraft racecraft games. I want to use my 4 axis stick for something other than Airbus landing challenges.

Also the 1-2 combination of Automation (car company simulator) and BeamNG.drive. You can build a car in Automation and export it to BeamNG to drive around in. Bonus props to BeamNG being the only car sim I know of that has decided to actually model the physics of an automatic transmission. This is something I wished other games like Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo would do, as a lot of modern cars are Automatic only and in every case they just turn the auto into a stick… and it’s terrible, as automatic gear ratios don’t work for manual transmission driving. If we can upgrade the transmission, then we can have a better incentive to replace the slushbox with a crashbox if it’s worth the upgrade, considering that torque converter transmissions are used in offroad racing due to having better resilience against the shock forces from bumps and jumps.

Shoutout to Live For Speed, the surprisingly detailed car racing sim by three bros that even takes clutch temperatures into account. Their latest updates added workshop-style modded cars into the game.

GT7 going back to its roots… most races in GT2 would vomit up a car at you… and also you had a 100 garage limit due to a hardware limitation.

I had to scroll far to find this…

Extreme-G and G-2
