The ghost stuff tastes like diabetes fodder. All sugarfree. I dont want to think too hard about how they accomplish that.

Legit every person I know that drinks monster other than me is under 30, white and if they arent lower income, they are in the trades and still very “working class”

Im middle aged, white, working class and the only reason I buy Monster ever is because their white can sugar free is my 3rd choice of energy drink after Ghost and Musashi IN THAT ORDER. Ghost slaps.

I like the arcade physics, but at least keep it challenging and consistent.

I hate to advocate for live service but…

An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events… give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.

E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA

Mechwarrior online.

Free, online “shooter”, good community, runs on linux, gameplay is dated and doesnt get tons of dev support anymore but its still how I kill an evening once or twice a week.

This has always been my counterpoint for the Nintendo haters when they complain about price. (Although they are a shit company in several other ways) Because when my daughter wants a new switch game if its a top tier Nintendo title its going to be a finished game with zero bugs and zero concern about problematic content for me.

Just do the graphics.

Hey in all honesty good on you for being an early adopter, someone has to. The first cars were not much of an upgrade over the horse and buggy either.

I wouldnt touch the 40 series, it feels like a stopgap. Theres a lot going on with AI cores and frame generation and new methods that arent just “raw power” processing. I think all this frame gen and ray tracing and so on is going to come together in the next series.

Its overhyped so far.
