BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoHey! I feel like I haven’t seen you comment in a long time, I miss your write-ups you used to do on these posts.
I’m going to have to try Rally 04, I like rally games.

Man, I didn’t expect people to remember me. Uhm… hi! ヾ(・ω・*)
I’ve been busy with less fun stuff for a while and when I did play games it wasn’t for long enough to warrant a post unfortunately. I’m hoping for a more permanent return soon as I’m eying to start some titles that will fit this community again.
CMR04 is great! Still holds up really well, has a nice balance between arcade and sim in its driving model, looks simple but in a readable way and has a mod for widescreen resolutions on PC. It also has no problems on Linux which is a big win for me. Probably my favourite rally game of that era.

Oh shoot, I hope everything is okay.
Glad to know about both widescreen and Linux, those are both pretty important to me.

It’s not but I make do. You’d be surprised how well hobbies and lack of sleep can help with that! I appreciate the sentiment though.
Same here, it was a really nice surprise. I love how well so many old titles work on the penguin.

I feel that. Hobbies have definitely helped me through many rough times. Dark Souls and practicing piano have both gotten me through a lot. I’m lucky enough to have a kid on the way, she’ll be my first, but I am worried that I might go through a dark period and won’t have time to use my hobbies as much to help me out. Maybe raising a kid will take that place. I’ve heard it’s very rewarding.
I usually play older games (hence me being on here), and when I made the switch to Linux I was very happy to see almost all my games play flawlessly. Even newer games or somewhat newer games run great. I’m currently playing through the Talos Principle (2014 I think) and getting 350-400 fps. It’s certainly not the most demanding game but that’s impressive to me.
