Underground 1 (and burnout 3) both for ps2 are the racing games I always fall back to.

I really, really dislike open worlds, stories, pointless customization, and any sort of online play.

I want fast moving, hard to see, dodging traffic racing, with lots of crashing (or close calls).

My fan rarely turns on even as a developer.

I have a framework laptop that I run Linux on. It has been a fantastic machine so far!
