Beautifully. I just blew 1.2M credits on an F40 and was hooting like my 15yr old self while doing it. I’ve got a few lovely highly tuned cars. About to work on my international licenses.

I’ve enjoyed it a lot though. Perfect call back. Great racing. The cafe is pretty great. Beautiful on ps4 still, outside of the slightly pixelated rain plumes.

Oh man me too. It’s wonderful zipping around Croatia in it.

I juiced up the 09 GT3 pretty hard and murdered the nordschleife. That might be my favorite car at the moment.

Me and a lot of my friends had e30 3 series, and the e30 M3 was our dream car that none of us could afford at the time. The interior of that car looks just like my first car, so its extremely nostalgic when I drive in cockpit view.

I love that the game just sort of gives you the car you need for the next set of races. I've only had to buy one car so far when my corvette stingray kept spinning out in the American races, so I bought a Shelby.

Looking forward to buying / getting an Aston Martin.

$900 for any video game console feels absolutely buck wild, but if you really want one and can afford to spend that much over MSRP then go for it I guess. Also remember that you'll be spending extra on top of that for games.

Is that dog faster than a greyhound? Which one can go the farthest the fastest? If they were on a football field which one would be the receiver and which would be the tight end?

MilSim West has teams divided between US/NATO forces vs. Russians. This was going on in early 2011-2012 before poo poo was actually popping off in Ukraine.

May not be faster but might be more motivated, have more want to and ability to cut. Slot receiver Addie.

I would say if this is even a question you shouldn't do it. Everything that you would gain from doing it will be available later on at MSRP and, if recent past is prologue, your cash will be worth considerably less at that point.

Almost every game on ps5 that's good is playable in some form on ps4. Will it be highest quality resolution and framerate? No. Will it have loading times? Yes. But functionally you'd get the same game.

So far I think the only good games you'd miss out on is the new Ratchet and Clank and Returnal. Horizon Forbidden West, Miles Morales, GT7, the upcoming God of War game, and others have gotten cross gen releases, and Sony plans on doing that for the foreseeable future until ps5s don't sell off the shelf immediately when in stock.

The crying Brett Favre in the corner is just excellent. Prime AV material.

Also maybe it's because I was a pre-teen and teen girl who wrote terrible fanfiction, like one where Sailor Moon turned out to be my sister or I got adopted by Aladdin and Jasmine, folks getting scandalized that kids write fanfiction always makes me laugh a little.

I draft Air Bud. He's most known for his basketball career, but he was also a golden receiver.

In the mid 1960s, my mom and her best friend in high school filled a cabinet with notebooks of their fanfiction scripts for the obscure western High Chaparral. Complete with self-insert romances, etc. They'd record episodes on a dictaphone and play them back, audio only of course, so they could review previous episodes in order to make sure they stayed in canon. Every day at school they'd pass the notebooks back to each other to edit and complete each other's episodes.

That lady is my godmother. I probably wouldn't exist if they hadn't met on a high school softball field and randomly found out that they were both really into this show.

My mom, as many of you will recall, now has severe parkinsons. She and my stepdad are getting ready to move to colorado in a few weeks, as soon as the house sells basically, so they can afford to pay for her care. They're moving to the town where that high school best friend of hers lives. They'll spend the last years of my mom's life, and dwindling memory, together, friends for sixty years and still going, built on the foundation of a weird two-person fanfiction club for a pretty crappy all but forgotten western serial.

So anyway yeah, fanfiction goes way back.
