Did you er…read the article or nah?

Yeah I feel you on this one- very similar situation myself! Forget energy, you’ll never have it. Just find the time, and aim racing will give you the buzz you’ve been looking for.

Seemed to be- it was owned by my Mum so there’s no guarantee she’d updated firmware properly or whatever. Come think of it I do remember checking for firmware updates and there weren’t any at that moment in time, but something as severely dangerous as that tainted my view somewhat permanently of it. The only saving grace was the great acceleration: if I wasn’t quick enough slamming the accelerator down a few times I would have been smoosh by a following truck.

I agree with the angle you’re coming from and think you’re right to a degree, but I can hand on heart say Tesla’s automation is the worst I’ve experienced. Have driven the likes of Tesla, VW and Volvo with automated driving capabilities, Volvo came out on top, VW second and Tesla last. I lost track of the amount of times where the Tesla slammed its brakes on randomly when travelling on a motorway at 70mph with seemingly no trigger. The Volvo was the most rock solid where I could actually sit back and let the car do it without feeling like I needed to be ready at a millisecond’s reaction to take over.

Perhaps where Tesla falls down is claiming their software has “Full Self Driving”. It doesn’t, and none of them do- yet.

I…don’t think there’s anyone I’d trust less to create an AI for driving

Yeah it had a pretty rough ride at the start but when it worked, it was really nice tbh.

Also:

Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.

Questions are growing? Haven’t they been out already for fucking years??

Don’t worry everyone, it was fine. Someone just drove into

Not at all! I share your frustration- we’re plagued by bad/ineffective CPR because TV shows and films do such a shit job of showing it. I know it seems extreme but I think it should be illegal to show ineffective CPR on TV.

For non medical readers: to clarify- the person first doing the compressions first wasn’t pressing hard enough. Not the person taking over!

Just…don’t be afraid with compressions. The only thing you can really get wrong is not pressing hard enough. For the rest of it, don’t worry about it- just keep trying to squash that heart, that’s the best chance you can give the person.

I mean the trend these days is massive preorder price then back down to a normal price after a month or so, right? :/

I know right?! It especially runs really well on steam deck, too

I have a few friends who are now dropping this game (they’re on Linux). Such a dick move by EA

Right?? Makes me want to smash out a stage like that in wales on Dirt Rally 2 but alas, I would make a shambles of it 🤣

😂 endurance rally!

As stupid as it sounds, I forget which gear I’m in when I use sequential, and spend more time pissing around trying to look at which one I’m in. With manual, I at least have that physical, muscle confirmation as to which I’m in and can make a split second decision as to which I need next. I’m probably just not used to sequential, but I still don’t get the enjoyment out of it I guess. That’s entirely personal preference though.

Yeah this was a bit of a dick move by EA (intentional or not). A friend of mine also had to write off the game for this exact reason.

Awesome choice, love having a good fight with this thing. I did a video about this one in EA WRC. Such a great car. Link if interested: (not my best editing, going through rough times atm but oh well) https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/1QFkxig44RQBsaQ1wahHqQ

Stratos! Great car! Though in it’s class I always end up choosing the Ford Escort MK2 instead 😆

Hell yeah, manual shift all the way. I literally don’t drive any sequential shift cars- if I I’m forced to I’ll still drive it as a manual. It’s what the joy of driving is for me to be honest.

I wouldn’t knock EA WRC, it’s still made by Codemasters- the guys behind all the dirt series so it’s still very much a similar game but with the added bonus of a WRC license so you get a shed load more cars and official tracks
