I really want to try Unbound, it is the first title that has looked interesting to me in the NFS series for a while it is just a shame that I have to use their launcher, if this wasn't the case I might actually even be willing to break my rule of not giving EA any money (although I would buy it when it was on deep sale that they have fairly often). Shame.

I have never thought it is worth it, even back when WOW released, the economy was better and I was a teenager with a lot more disposable income I would never pay for a subscription to play a game. It is just a terrible way to run a game and I have always thought that.

I've never really understood why people would support that kind of model personally, there has never been a justification in my book.

Back then Guild Wars 1 was and always will be the far superior game when put up against WOW in my personal opinion and once I'd paid for that I could play it every month without further outlay. Shame how they ruined it with GW2 (unpopular opinion I'm sure but I stand by it xD)

Do you have a BTC or ETH address I can donate directly to?

Cheers for all the work you put in, as always!

I mainly worked on 90s Japanese cars, I primarily had MX5s and 200SXs which were mostly alright to work with as they did have minimal electronics. However still getting into the world of management and ECUs was always more complex.

I've been out of the world of cars for more than 10 years now as I simply can't afford to run a car and also afford rent / to eat these days which I have come to terms with but I would never want to work on these horrible modern cars where everything has so many sensors and electronic dependencies.

You can switch off the single tap close for images in the settings.

I haven't had as many issues with images as you but I wish the bug where it affixes "webp" which causes images not to load would be patched out.

The Nissan NATS system could be an absolute bastard, yeh xD

Mine was both the most fun car as well as the worst car I owned.

It was a Nissan 200SX S14. It was around 320bhp SR20 with uprated turbo, external waste gate, screamer pipe that vented upwards out of the bonnet and would occasionally spit flames through, solid engine mounts, welded diff, stripped interior among other similar supporting mods.

It was well built and was an absolutely visceral driving experience, it was insanely fun and also scary at times to drive and I fucking loved it when it was working.

However the Nissan immobiliser would just randomly decide when it would and wouldn't kick in. Sometimes it would start no problems at all and other times it took me and hour or more of cycling the ignition on and off. I got stranded places a few times where it would just refuse to start then I would have to return the next day and it would start first try no problems. It just had those electronic gremlins that I just couldn't figure out the actual issue and it was insanely infuriating.

It was the epitome of a love hate relationship and without those starting problems would have been one of my favourite cars but I just never figured it out and ended up selling it on never having solved the issues. Was such a shame.

Best cars I’ ve ever owned the NA's!

Fuck yeh project justice, I forgot about that. All these games have so much more character and charm than Virtua Fighter which is just dull in comparison.

I tried it for the first time this year, I put in around 10 hours to try and get into it and honestly I found it pretty dull. I didn't think the combat felt particularly satisfying and the story as far as I got in it did nothing to interest me or draw me in.

I'm not saying it is a bad game because I certainly dont think that but for me personally just nothing clicked, it felt like a slog just to get through the 10 or so hours I put in and I dont have enough time to force myself to like games any more so I just moved on.

Was never a massive fan of Virtua Fighter I'd rather see a return of Fighting Vipers! Or even an update on Fighters Megamix which does have some Virtua Fighter characters appearing and is like a solid mix of the two.

Yeh I miss the calm of the night so much, working alone with no idiots trying to talk to me about stuff I didn't care about, the commute back home in the morning on my bike before most people were awake especially when it was just getting light. Even on my days off riding my bike around d town at 2am when it is a different place, so peaceful!

My mental health however is definitely better for not working nights. In the winter I'd often go weeks without ever seeing the sun which as much as I didn't want to admit it at the time definitely negatively impacted my mental health.
