Sounds nice, provided you’re in the Nintendo ecosystem

I haven’t, can’t say I’ve ever heard of it!
(I’ve got Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU, that’s about it!)

I just remembered another one - the original Car and Driver game (way before Need for Speed 1) was a vector 3D affair that ran at full speed on a 386.
One of the courses was the San Dimas Mall parking lot - I worked out that I could use the “drop camera” command in one spot, and then it became a radio control car simulator since the ‘dropped’ camera followed the car being driven :-)

Oh yeah, that was often the easiest way to progress.
I used to be a bit of a Carmageddon nut, I think I have original copies of all the games (1 with the Splat Pack expansion was the best for exploration) … but my old PC can’t run the latest version at more than 1fps unfortunately :-/

Carmageddon was really good for it, too.
In modern gaming I’ve clocked up about 400 hours on Snowrunner, half of the game is intentionally exploring with trucks (albeit a lot slower, lol)

Going back a while - Monster Truck Madness 2 was a great game of exploration if you just drove off in a random direction rather than doing that silly racing stuff :-)
The maps were big, and there was no time limit, so you could just go and do your own thing … a favourite made-up mini-game was sliding around a frozen lake on the winter map.
- Comment on Explaining your traumatic past IRL feels so underwhelming compared to when a character in a movie or tv scene revealing their traumatic childhood. 3 weeks ago:
A couple of weeks back I saw my boss hadn’t eaten all her lunch. She said it was because her mother had made it, and always tried to give her too much; just like when she was little.
I replied that my childhood habit was to clear the plate every time, just in case there wasn’t enough next time. She laughed because she thought I was making a joke, and then went really quiet.
Yeah.

Or in my case, old driving games
- Comment on Cable management is an art form 4 weeks ago:
I love the stretchy rubber ties, the ones that allow you to make two bunches held together yet distinctly seperate.
Great for comms rooms, and also motorcycle cable management :-)

My wife openly says she left Hungary because of the dictatorship, nobody has ever reacted to her negatively for it.
The impression I get from most Hungarians I’ve met is that if you can speak another language then getting out is the smart move.
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 2 months ago:
Yup, and it’s on what was a mid-line laptop from 3 years ago. Only just started recently.
At home I use a thinkpad that I got 2nd hand 10 years back, and it feels like warp speed by comparison.

TBF yellow us pretty awesome

Indeed, I don’t have admin rights for anything outside of IP address changes at work.
I just thought of another bug bear, start menu lag on mouse clicks is a very odd problem, I don’t remember anything like that, even on the first release of Windows 95 which I ran on a laptop with 25MHz and 8 Mb of ram.

Fair enough, I use 10 and 11 at work and hate it … I used to like 7, using the control panel, search, default paths and stuff seemed a lot more intuitive.
That’s why I stick with Linux at home, it feels a lot more like Windows used to, lol

What’s been your favourite version of Windows?
- Comment on Smaller rally/racing games I recommend you try! 3 months ago:
No mention of Snowrunner, for shame!
(which I’ll be going back to after I’ve finished Dirt 4, which is also awesome)
- Comment on Drive my commute for fun & profit! 4 months ago:
Yeah, I was surprised to be honest!
Before doing track days at Cadwell Park I used to fire up Project Cars and do a couple of laps just to remind myself of the order and camber of the corners (it’s a very complex track), but that didn’t feel realistic at all … Dirt 4 does, even though the stages aren’t real, which is ironic
