Fun thread about racing games that I just love the graphics of. One I just never get bored of seeing in action.

Game 1) World Driver Championship.

Love the draw distance, trackside detail and general colours here. Cars look great too. Super smooth performance also.

I need a bit of context here because it currently seems like a filthy wank at a sausage party.

I don't agree. They are both really cool and use each hardware differently. I love the clouds on Saturn but really like the draw distance and hills on PS1. Both are cool!
Saturn version is totally flat.

Nice idea.

Pointless with the 32 bit versions.

But is it a fantastic game? Really fantastic?

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

Bubsy is pretty mediocre in a sea of mascot platform games. Far from bad but nothing special either.

Martin @nakamuramartin.bsky.social · 2d

Why not?

Martin @nakamuramartin.bsky.social · 2d

It should be though. Because it doesn't matter. Seeing a band is lovely, but if you miss out, it's okay too. If we all took that mindset and applied it across life, we'd probably be happier.

Yeah, when lives come into play, it's stressful.

People need to learn to feel lucky if they can afford to go to gigs and enjoy luxuries and if they miss out, it's okay too.

Sorry, but nothing will change my mind on this. Being unable to walk due to unbearable pain is stressful.

First world problem. If that's all you have to get stressed about, lucky you.

Martin @nakamuramartin.bsky.social · 2d

None of it is stressful. Annoying perhaps, but not even close to stressful!

Thinking that ‘I couldn’t get tickets for a thing for a few minutes’ is stressful in any way is my absolute life goal.

Can't you just quit the last race and default to sixth?

Thanks to @dcharlie.bsky.social I've been reminded of this absolute classic.

Sam, you gotta bail on this imo. He's making you look like a fool.

Best of luck, mate.

Dear supporters of Bitmap Books,

Although I stand by the fact that Moses’ comments were ill-advised and insensitive, the whole thing blew up and was made much bigger than it needed to be. Moses has publicly apologised for any offence caused, as has the original poster of the comments who did not intend to cause this much trouble. I do not feel that this warrants an author losing his livelihood and ruining years of hard work to produce the book.

Despite multiple accusations to the contrary, Moses freely agreed to donate his royalties to charity. There was no coercion from me, however we both recognise that due to an increasingly stressful situation that decisions were rushed on both sides. I’m pleased to say that Moses and I have spoken again today, we stand together, and have agreed that he will receive 100% of his royalties.

Maybe I was hasty in my response, and I’m happy to admit to that. At the time I sincerely thought I was doing the right thing to diffuse an increasingly difficult situation. I will commit to donating all company profits from this first print run to the charity, Special Effect.

The bottom line is that is that Moses has apologised for his original comments, and will now be paid the royalties that are rightfully his.

Moses and myself have received a large amount of personal abuse and threats over the past few days. We hope that this statement will bring some closure to what has happened.

Sam Dyer, founder of Bitmap Books

So I'm in the middle of a Crohn's flare/cold symptoms situation and someone made me cake.

It was delicious 😋

I'm not entirely sure on context but I've been enjoying a you tube guy called Zenkai Goose lately. He's really fun and cheerful. It's light content but enjoyable.
