Thanks yeah, was a fun one, also sometimes taking the risk can be worth it..... sometimes 🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately so, having spoken to the bossman himself he fully knows about how things have been going over the past few months, but is still willing to keep the platform running as long as there is some kind of a population still around. Do I think it will ever get back to it's peak? Most definitely not but I think there is still room to keep it alive and to draw back in a steady playercount without reinventing the wheel but we shall see.

Might even be 5... shocking I know 😱

@@Ricochet1136 Clearly won't be by now xD

@@LPF346ENG hey I still have like... 2 weeks so you never know🤣

Well mostly all survived, don't think Mr Janak was most pleased getting torpedoed 😬

I'm saying a nothing

Yep, that's it, it's the end

Thank you Donny 🙂

Ouch yeah the classic using the clutch pedal on a car that doesn't have one, will always catch someone out 😅 Yeah neither combo last night was particularly easy but I was mostly familiar with everything so it helped me to jump in with little prep, but I paid the price when I underfueled in the F3 race and had to spend half the race saving lol. That might've been a blessing in disguise though also as it likely helped me with easing the aggressive tyre degradation in the latter half of the race, will be interesting to see how it pans out going forward for the rest of the season!

@@Ricochet1136 Yes, that was why I pitted - for fuel. The AC firm calculator after a couple of laps send wildly out - it's the second time I've been very short of fuel. I hope AC2 is better on that front

I find most of the time the fuel calculation they give is usually fine enough as long as you've run a few representative laps, however it's always good to have an app like ACRL fuel to have a live tracker to see how it's trending.

@@Ricochet1136 I've got a nice xiv app for fuel calculations.... But I cannot see it in VR 🤣🤣

@@BeesWaxRacing haha yeah I can imagine that would be a bit of a problem 😅

Hello 👋

I do indeed only showcase racing games here, however the overall discussion point can be applied to any & all genres in gaming. I could've included a couple of examples of non-racing games, but I based these choices off a recent stream I did to have a more coherent narrative & also it's just the genre I'm the most knowledgeable in.

There was a homeport of the original Raw Thrills Fast & Furious arcade that was sold under the Cruis'n franchise for the Wii, but the version I played on stream is the arcade cabinet sequel made as a """tie-in""" for the Tokyo Drift movie, just running natively on my PC (as old Raw Thrills cabinets quite literally just have regular low-spec Windows PC's shoved into them). Oddly enough they brought all the tracks across from the original, on top of the new Japan-themed levels they made specifically for this version of the game, whilst quite a few of the cars are new despite also not really having anything to do with the movie besides the RX-7, RX-8, 350z & '66 Mustang.

I know these games have a pretty dedicated cult following and I have given pretty much all of them a fair shot, but I'll be honest they've never really hooked me as I feel they're a bit too boring, convoluted and dragged out for their own good (at least for me). I do think some of the spins they put on their games are interesting (e.g the SP battle system) but none of the mainline games have really succeeded in pulling me in and having me play to the end. The only one I sometimes come back to is "Street Supremacy", the PSP spin-off as the whole team territory control premise is pretty neat and handled much better than other racing games that have tried a similar concept (looking at you, NFS Carbon), but this game does also have many flaws of its own. It's also probably the shortest to complete out of all of them once you know how things work which is an extra bonus, as it's all finished before it gets too tedious.

I'm nowhere near talented enough to do that lol, the mod is a great replica of the real Goodwood FoS hillclimb though so it was a no-brainer to use for my silly little knock-off event
