The remaster, yes. The original, no.

Mission failed. We’ll get em next time.

A mission made just for me

Hard disagree. I’m still in my starter car in Heat because the physics are 110% garbage. A stock 240 should not be able to pull off drifts like it has 800+ more hp than it has, or the fact that it forces a drift when you merely want to take a standard corner. In street tires. In a standard circuit/sprint race. Or how it’s tied to online servers, thus when the servers freak out, your single player event kicks you off. Or how there are objects that retain their lowest LOD no matter how close you are, or how long you wait. That’s just off the top of my head, it’s been a while.

I got the ‘premium’ or whatever version for $1.25 on steam a couple years ago. I played the 10 hour demo before that, reviewing it blind for a friend and then revisiting it 6 months later, each for a few hours. ‘surely, it’s been a couple years, they must have fixed it some’. Nope, not even a bit. I want my $1.25 back.

Shit, I think Unbound is a decent upgrade from Heat. And I don’t particularly like Unbound, so that’s kind of both a complement and an insult at once. The bar was so low it was touching the floor, it could have only gotten worse with DRM that opens a backdoor to my machine or something. I spent $10 for Unbound, and I don’t want my $10 back for that installment (I mean I’ll take it if they are offering but), so… Heat is baaaaad. Unbound is meh, but meh beats the hell out of baaaaad.

You mean like NFS World? I was a closed beta tester. While it was a P2W system (buy powerups, etc) it wasn’t ruined by it, and if you could beat a nfs game you can do just fine in World.

I only played for the first year or so - and haven’t played the 3rd party rebirths - but World had potential. And EA killed it, like the dumbasses they are.

E: word

And the multiplayer mod!

Look up videos of the MW beta. It was supposed to be a MW, just like '05. Time constraints killed that plan.

I’m a huge (old) nfs fan, and I love HP '10 and MW '12. It’s no U2 but both are damn good games. I fired up MW not too long ago, just to cruise.

Burnout was the shit too. Mostly for Crash Mode. Paradise was cool with the open-world but them kneecapping crash for whatever the fuck they called ‘bounce your car endlessly down the street’ mode was fucking atrocious. EA selling the ‘ultimate box’ on the pc without the fucking island - and no way to get it - was bullshit, always been pissed of about that.

Leaks show that the upcoming pixels will have it. Also because Apple opened up the (magsafe) standard only in 2023, and it takes time to implement things.

You could even host a website where it is just ads, and not only do people pay for the privilege, but other people visit it, like it’s a point of interest.

He did the plumbing for the brother’s place.

Set up the toilet to pipe to the kitchen sink. “eat shit” as they say.

The “not my problem lol you figure it out” mode

Yeah yeah I didn’t count inflation but there’s no way in fuck that poor old granny is just under the thumb of inflation.

The point is that everyone wants to fuck everyone, but they are the victim because everyone else wants to fuck them. It’s greed from all angles, plain and simple.

I think everyone should get fucked and the housing bubble burst harder than the 08 implosion, frankly. Who is holding the bag isn’t my problem, but the situation now where everyone fucking everyone else over isn’t sustainable and is disproportionately screwing over the lower class. It’s not my fault that granny was banking on screwing over the millenials to trade up to a beachfront property in the keys

baby is inundated with ‘back in my day’, [redacted] ruined everything, complaints about life sucking ass, etc

9 months pass

baby pops out

immediately uses all their strength to jump to the nearest window ledge and yeet

Hold my beer, I’m going in

Skill issue. I eat my food raw. The explosive shits are just me speedrunning my bathroom breaks. Efficiency baby!

So you’re saying granny would be fine with a 100% return on her investment at $36 for an offer? No? Shocked I say, shocked.

Granny is part of the problem. Not the biggest part of the pie, but still guilty.

full throttle

Circuit City. I grew up on CompUSA but CC had better prices, if I remember right from my childhood. Then CU died, then CC died, then FE died, now all we have is shitty BB.

My CC I got to go ‘in the back’ to watch then replace a psu that died and I correctly diagnosed, back in like… 03? Two techs for the store, super chill, talked me through the process. I’ve been building and repairing my own systems ever since. They told me to let them know when I was 16, they’d put in a good word for me after we chatted for about an hour. By the time I could legally work, the writing was on the wall, and CC died before I turned 17.

I wonder where those guys are at now. I thought I knew what I was doing, but they were so kind in explaining everything, answering every question, giving me confirmation about all sorts of stuff. I really hope they are doing well. They couldn’t have been mid-20s at the time.
