- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 3 weeks ago:
The last good public multiplayer experience I had was DiRT 3. Simple lobbies, small player count, people randomly joining and leaving and everyone was chill. You’d occasionally get that guy who was stupidly good, perfect lines through every corner, and the entire lobby would try so hard to keep up. Loved it.
One time I stumbled into a lobby where the host was “hacking” but instead of cheating for an advantage, he was selecting weird car class and track combinations for the entire lobby. Stuff that the game wouldn’t normally allow. Shit like trailblazer cars on rallycross circuits. So much fucking fun, one of my favorite memories from that game.
That must’ve been what, 4, 5 years ago? DiRT 3 released in 2011, so…oh my god DiRT 3 came out 13 years ago…

I’ve been itching to upgrade to AM5, this might finally be the CPU to finally make it worth it. Hopefully power draw and thermals are good, I’d like to do an ITX build if possible.

Every time it goes on sale, I think about picking it up…but then I remember…
It takes me long enough to finish 10-hour games I already own…

I would love to see what someone could do now in the same vein.
Genki is finally making a new TXR, got announced a few days ago.
- Comment on What are your favorite racing games? 2 months ago:
I have a work-in-progress list here, strictly games I would consider “must play” in the genre:
howlongtobeat.com/user/atmur/…/Peak-Racing-Games
Mostly arcade and simcade racers though. If you’re interested in sims:
For modding, Assetto Corsa is basically the modern rFactor.
For offline racing, Automobilista and Raceroom have pretty solid AI. Note: Raceroom’s pricing model is dumb, kind of like iRacing just without the subscription.
For career mode, Project CARS 2 (not 3) is basically the only sim that even tries.
For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

- Comment on Wreckfest 2 officially announced at THQ Nordic showcase 4 months ago:
Oh hell yeah I’ve played almost all of both series.
Flatout 1 is alright, hasn’t aged especially well. Suffers from being completely overshadowed by its sequel in every way.
Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage is still my favorite Bugbear game, with Wreckfest being a close but firm second.
Flatout 3 is.
Flatout 4 is honestly not terrible, but still feels like a cheap imitation of the first 2 games.
Burnout 1 also suffers from sequel shadow.
Burnout 2 is a great arcade racer that no one talks about because…
Burnout 3 is quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. Absolute masterpiece.
Burnout Revenge is somehow just as good. Whether I prefer this or 3 depends entirely on how much I enjoy traffic checking on that day. I posted Junkie XL - Today to the music community a few days ago because I was playing Revenge recently, what a soundtrack.
Still haven’t played Dominator, should probably get around to that.
Burnout Paradise is also excellent in its own right, but I think going open world took away some of the charm that the previous games had. Tracks were so well designed in 3 and Revenge. Still love Paradise too, but 3 and Revenge are just absurdly good.
- Comment on Wreckfest 2 officially announced at THQ Nordic showcase 4 months ago:
Fuck yeah. After Test Drive Solar Crown turned out to be live service garbage, I’ve been waiting for another racing game to look forward to. Hopefully the career mode has a bit more depth than Wreckfest 1.

Unless you’re watching Tenet, in which case the audio sucks no matter how good your setup is.

- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 8 months ago:
When I was a kid, for some reason I really wanted coal for Christmas and I was diappointed that only the bad kids got it. My parents decided to mess with me one year by hiding all my actual presents and only putting a piece of coal in my stocking. I was thrilled and thought it was so cool. I have no idea why I thought it was cool, I was a weird kid. My parents gave up on the joke before I even realized that none of the presents under the tree had my name on them. I was entirely happy with the piece of coal.
Ironically, it’s become one of my favorite Christmas memories and it’s one of few presents I still have as an adult.
- Comment on How reliable are EV chargers? 1 year ago:
Things are slowly improving, but public chargers do kinda suck right now. There’s an app called PlugShare that you can download which lets you see reviews for all chargers in your area. It’s saved some headaches a few times cause I can just avoid chargers with bad ratings.
- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 1 year ago:
I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.
There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol
- Comment on What would it take to change an Internal Combustion Engine Car to an EV? 1 year ago:
It probably doesn’t need that much power, but speed is fun and the extra torque can be useful.
The new Rimac Nevera (an EV hypercar) has over 1800 HP.
- Comment on Nitai Hershkovits & Rejoicer - SIDE SIDEMI (Video by Zoë Medcraft & Felix Colgrave) 1 year ago:
If you don’t know who Felix Colgrave is, he’s the guy who animated Double King and a bunch of other weird short films and music videos. This video is from the new WOMBOT Studio channel, which is run by Colgrave and Zoë Medcraft. The latter of which was the director, lead animator, and painter on this video!

- Comment on Motorsport Games employees win unpaid wages lawsuit 1 year ago:
Ah, I didn’t think about iRacing. Yeah, that’s a super strong possibility.
- Comment on Motorsport Games employees win unpaid wages lawsuit 1 year ago:
They also own Studio 397 and rFactor 2, which has had its fair share of shitshows as well, before and after the acquisition.
- Comment on Motorsport Games employees win unpaid wages lawsuit 1 year ago:
The firm is also in talks with a “known company” for a potential sale of its NASCAR license.
I’m guessing it’s Kylotonn. They just lost the WRC license, and are nearing the end of Test Drive Solar Crown development. They need a franchise they can push out every year.
Another possibility is EA, because they love their yearly releases and have an abundance of racing game developers right now (Codemasters, Slightly Mad Studios, Evolution (or what’s left of them), Criterion, Firemonkeys).
