*Absolute Drift

The only game I ever 100%ed

Also hold top 1% scores in every drift event. Love it.

Wreckfest, Absolute Drift, Art of Rally, BeamNG, New Star GP, F1 23, My Summer Car, Super Woden GP 2.

A bit more unorthodox than the normal recommendations maybe but truly excellent games. Except for F1 they are all quite cheap too.

Cautiously excited. I wonder if it’s just a cashgrab using an established IP or a genuinely good game.

That’s all I am waiting for. Edge and Chrome have really good ones and I really want it for FF.

Just give me Gran Turismo on PC. I opted out of consoles when I had to pay a subscription to play online.

Valve are major players in Linux being a viable option for gaming and actively fighting the Microsoft monopoly for PC gaming. Not in line with other players in the industry.

They are actively developing proton as well as their own controller support for any games within their platform.

What is the rest of the industry doing in line with this?

I am not really missing anything specific rather than thinking the default layout and appearance is quite bad and gives a bad expression. As mentioned its basically an overpriced authenticator -tamagotchi to me so I put zero effort into changing it.

On my private phone I run nova launcher, though.

Samsungs out of the box experience gives me anxiety to be honest. Had a few for work, luckily their singular purpose is running the authenticator app.

I guess Stormworks, but it can also be frustrating at times when I got tough nuts to crack in my grand designs. Still haven’t found an engineering game of the same caliber.

This is how I even found out they were making the game, so pretty good news. Never got around to playing the other one they released, though… Or finishing the first.

Finally. Excellent news.

It is a sweet game though. I play the Android version all the time.

Super Woden GP 2 looks really interesting and I never heard of it. Going on the wishlist.

It’s under a different studio than the original. The original devs are releasing a new DLC for Grim Dawn, though.

“Real” games I pay for with no ads I think are ok. My most played mobile game is Slay the Spire, which works well since it’s just a card game.

Action games would be a hard pass.

I mean this has been in games for a long time between the 90s and 00s and has always been called literally cheat codes

I think the console releases were largely to blame for the bad rep. Esp the older gen ones. I played from launch on PC and I had a lot of bugs but nothing game breaking and it didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying myself.

I mean real damage, spinning out, hitting a curb actually feeling like hitting a curb and overall feel. Gta V has too much grip and you can easily just take a sports car up a mountain offroad. It’s soulless.

I really love the world of GTA V, it has a lot to explore and is beautiful. I just wish the driving physics to explore it weren’t so utterly boring. GTA IV had great arcade driving.

Supporting devs is good, but supporting a denuvo game is also showing that you will tolerate such overbearing DRM

Obligatory mention of Tape to Tape, my favourite game of 2023 with excellent couch coop.

I don’t really. I don’t keep up with AAA games, most of them don’t interest me. There’s a looooot of games out there and only a fraction of them interest me.

I also don’t really watch YouTubers and stuff in general, I find it hard to watch.

Seems interesting shame there’s no paid bon freemium version, though.

It’s been Cyberpunk, 20 minutes till dawn and I fired up Rimworld today at lunch as well. All very good, very different games.
