Watched @natelupson.bsky.social stream a bit of Driver earlier today. Here’s my collection. The big black box is a huge model car that was given to select media. Great games and like Nate said if they had stuck with a driving-only niche it would have stayed special.

Terribly sad news about Greg Biffle and his family. I met him only once when I worked for iRacing and he was the nicest person. Soft spoken and just, nice, as if you mattered when he met you. Bottom right of this photo I took.

I did a short test stream. Started off with no game audio or mic audio, which is exactly what I'd prepared to not have happen. 👍 Skip to about 5mins in for when I fixed the audio. Feedback welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyEK...

I was going to do a test stream today on Twitch or something, but found out my upload speed is capped at 6 Mpbs total because the modem I paid $300 for a year ago is no longer on Xfinity's approved modem for my speed tier (it used to be, but now isn't). 👍

Haven't posted much lately, was way too busy. But I have some free time coming.
For those who knew where I worked. Yes, I am affected. Not as much as many others, as I'm now part-time. Significant loss of income, but again, not as much as others.

Can see the angle here, but probably disagree in the short term. It means they have written off the new ruleset in 2026, and that they will shoehorn them into the current game. That's a lack of service for 2026.

Did you know Richard Burns Rally was supposed to be a series and not just a single release? The untimely death of Richard Burns was obviously a major part in the cancellation of the series.
