Lots of good suggestions already, but I don’t think I saw anyone mention Twisted Metal: Black. It’s very dark and lots of fun.

I don’t know who any of these are. Going afk jungle 30 mins brb

Nothing against the artist, they’re obviously highly skilled, but this (and other) character art is the biggest barrier to me wanting to try BG3.

I really don’t like it and have a hard time putting the reasons why into words. At the very least, the sneering smile, the hand gesture… It’s all too much. Feels like a Marvel movie poster.

Number keeps going up

Yes. Most of them are “fentanyl zombie” followed by a number.

It sounds interesting to me. Whether or not I would play it myself depends on knowing more or playing a demo since it’s not the type of game I usually play, but if someone I know or one of the few streamers I follow was into it I would definitely be interested to watch.

I think it’s important to make the game you want to make and trust your vision. It looks good so far and I’m following you on Steam now to keep an eye on it. Good luck!

Pardon me for checking your post history, but I noticed you’ve posted in the Canada community and therefore you might be Canadian. Is it possible you’ve been eating more local fruit this year due to boycotts? I wonder if there’s some relation.

I noticed my Ontario blueberries were very sweet this year, compared to the imported ones I’ve had in the past that could be somewhat bitter or tart. I have no evidence if this is a reason why they’re sweeter though, I’m just guessing.

If you’re not making at least 100k then you’d better be 10 feet tall

Demon Turf

3D platformer with some interesting mechanics and boss fights. Enjoying it so far. There are some mild collectathon elements, but nothing tedious. I like the art style a lot.

You have the long stride advantage so it evens out

Laugh track plays

Canadian here. We had that pattern too, except for things like Greatest Hits editions which were arguably even uglier.

I’m not sure why it’s like that. It does kind of remind me of the grooves in the side of the original PS1 though.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. In case anyone sees this and is wondering, I picked up Assetto Corsa. The price was right and it looks like what I’m looking for, for now.

I also will keep an eye on BallisticNG and a few others.

Shout out to the kind Lemming who donated their spare key for Garfield Kart - Furious Racing to me. I’ll leave them unnamed in case they don’t want the attention. I’ve been playing and enjoying it!

Get comfortable talking to yourself / thinking out loud. You’re already thinking thoughts when you game, you just need to externalize them.

I noticed there are a lot of games with -punk in their titles. What’s with that?
