Ooh nice. I'll take it. It may not be the dream, but it's what you wake up to after dreaming, and that's really all you can hope for.
I'm pretty sure a game as I described would only be a cult classic at best. Can't expect that kind of passion project in our financial climate.
I really liked the Tokyo Xtreme racer games. They are still probably the best car RPG games. I would love to see what someone could do now in the same vein. Even tokyo xtreme never got quite as crunchy or difficult as I would have liked.
I want to go so far as to be like a tactical survival style game, where you are out there earning a living wage from daily(nightly) car racing, and putting most of it back into your car. Just the repairs and maintenance alone being a bar you have to meet and beat every day on average to stay afloat, and then you can think about upgrades after.
It basically takes an environment like that for it to matter in a racing game that there are upgrades between the worst and the best. If trying to save up for even one good part wouldn't be possible without at least some middle parts first.
Meanwhile, could have some "roguelite" elements too in driver experience/skill. The car is only half of what's winning the races afterall. And even if you really blow it at some point and your car is fucked and you need to salvage and pull together what you got and go back to a cheaper car to maintain/repair, you'll still have all the experience/skill your character personally gained helping it go a little smoother this time.
When most of the temperature scales were made, they didn't even know yet that there was a zero, I mean, theoretically, they likely knew or assumed. But they had no way of practically measuring it yet, at the very least.
I do think that as much as it would be weird for a couple of years, it would help a lot in the long run to widely adopt a temperature scale that starts at 0.
Because honestly, the percentage of adults I come across that have no idea how temperature works or what it even is conceptually beyond just "a nice day or a bad day" or "this is the number for cooking this thing" is astonishing.
It's intentional design, search engine optimisation.
If you are really worried about getting caught not following the exact rules as written, you could always pay for multi device connections... then they won't care.
But it's definitely possible to set up your VR router in a way that is not gonna bother anything. Most people in this thread don't know that your VR router doesn't need internet access. If the VR stream is all it is doing, it can be isolated from the internet, and the isp won't know or care it exists.
The other thing about rules, that they don't tell us autistic people, is that following rules is actually kind of optional. Certainly more optional than it feels like to us. Think about it in terms of what the people were thinking when they wrote the rules, and who will be enforcing the rules and what they will care about. And what the enforcement of the rules would look like. (In this case, the most likely initial outcome of them enforcing these rules would be either an e-mail or paper letter telling you they noticed you are breaking a rule, possibly with details to help you stop breaking it, but likely not). Try to sus out the "spirit" of the rules rather than the letter of the rules. That is how all the other humans use rules and why to us it always feels like everyone is breaking all the rules and getting away with it.
If you follow every rule to the letter... you really can't do anything. At all. Like, literally, even we are breaking rules we don't yet know about every single day.
Once you have to put that amount of effort and attention in for a reasonable income... you are just doing a job.... a job no-one benefits from. So it won't be satisfying to do. No longer beating the system, just beating yourself.
No idea, I only noticed it a couple weeks ago. The prime gaming redemption site where I used to get stuff for lost ark now has a listing for free games, does amazon games, epic games, and gog games. The epic games are different ones than the free ones directly from epic.
There are even more free games from prime for the epic store, but the epic store has it's own free games too that don't require any subscription to anything.
Yeah, I do alot of that too. I own like 500 games or so. Way too many to ever play them all. Though I have played through at least half, so not -that- bad. Hehe.
The Warcraft movie was actually really good, not sure why it did poorly in the States. Everywhere else in the world loved it.
While I agree that's it's nice to have the option of a physical copy, I own too many games to want a physical copy of all of them. And if they are ever "taken away" I will not hesitate to get them back. I don't want to own physical copies of my games, but I do feel entitled to continue owning them even after the store I bought them from no longer exists. I will just download any game I have owned that I want to play again but no longer have access to the paid version. Kind of like how emulation works. I only use it to play games I own that I don't want to play the physical copy of.
I hope they know it's not because we didn't want a borderlands movie. It could have been good, but they didn't choose that path.
