Oh, Need for Speed! I still break out the originals like NFS III Hot Pursuit when I want to focus on a podcast or an audio book, but don’t want my mind to wonder. Letting my visual and motor cortex enter a flow state while doing timed laps pacifies my ADHD, keeping me on track to complete any audible reading, pun intended. It also helps having all the maps memorized from nostalgia.
Emulating the PS1 and PS2 titles is an option, but there are modern patches of the PC ports that improve the ergonomics of running them on current operating systems, including Wine and Proton:
- Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
Another racing series with a similar flow vibe could be the Track Mania titles. Forza Horizon is a little flashy, but if you create a waypoint race route and then avoid the finish line, you can then free roam without traffic making for a relaxing and scenic diving game. The Hot Wheels DLC for Forza Horizon is also rather zen once you get a grasp for the different gravity and motion model dynamics.

- Comment on Toxic CEO: Replacing Everyone with AI - YouTube 1 week ago:
Looks like the video description already prominently links to the voice actor’s social pages and channels. Perhaps the VA is just a member of the studio?
The blooper reel voice-over also kind of hints at the animation being fish needing to be tapped in an aquarium. Seems rather bespoke. Did you find a link to the original skit?

Wow, felt the same way! I haven’t heard the name of that software in a long time. The UI was also such a time capsule of GUI aesthetics of the time, like Winamp skins.

Before your comment, I thought I recognized this person, but could remember from where. Then your hint referencing TwoSetViolin helped me recall this is Hilary Hahn. Haven’t seen that channel in while, hope she still does those fun informal guest appearances.

- Comment on Nvidia’s finally replacing GeForce Experience with this all-in-one ‘Nvidia app’ - The Verge 1 year ago:
I’m surprised I couldn’t yet find a dummy HDMI plug to spoof a 4K@120Hz capable display. All the ones I’ve found thus far only support 120Hz at 1080p, and never any HDR support at all. I have an OLED android device with 2K screen and matching refresh rate, but the without a physical monitor to stream capturing from. Emulating such display resolutions and colored depths also seems just as formidably challenging.

Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia’s local Gamestream? I haven’t had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps as Nvidia’s deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.

I kind of want to see a charter plot of that scoring function projected onto a 3-axis manifold with a colored heat map. How would I minMax my anticipated score given my current age or projected lifespan?
