Tipping Point Australia contestant: "I've never heard of Lord of the Flies but I've heard of Lord of the Fries" Me: I hope you lose all your prize money

Today I learnt if you have the autopilot installed, if you do that first during the start up sequence it'll do the other ones for you

Also I've been playing this game for almost 3 weeks and I still don't fully understand what half of the mechanics do

While I think using the autopilot in multiplayer is maybe kinda cheating, the thing has also immediately slammed me into a wall perhaps a quarter of the times I've used it there

Give me a long long Bonneville Salt Flats-esque race track on Crait where I can try and beat land speed records in Star Wars Galactic Racer

For the first time I finished a multiplayer tour in the middle of the pack and I'm happy about that

I think I would place better in Galactic Racer multiplayer if people would just stop crashing into me

Protip: if you're rocking a speederbike you got to shore up your resilience stats first to survive being ping-ponged around

Act 3 of Galactic Racer adds a twist which is cool but disrupts the flow of the run that I'm not so fond of

To its credit I'm beginning to enjoy the extra thing the game wants you to do, which is a reflection on how the repetition in the game genuinely makes you a better racer

My idea of what's considered "tiny" has been spoiled by Japanese micro apartment videos

Today I learned you can visit the baseball field in Field of Dreams in American Truck Simulator

In the latest episode they got so lost it took them literally half the episode to get to the first challenge but somehow they still survived being eliminated???

There's a team consisting of an 18 year old kid and his 73 year old grandpa and I hope they stick around even though they're slow as shit and keep getting lost

To be fair they ended up crushing the 3 challenges they needed to do (and three of the top 5 teams also got lost badly enough to place at the bottom)

They're just jealous of my ride

I'd pay good money if there was some way I could get a real desktop model of my Galactic Racer speeder bike

Their fried chicken is hit or miss but their cheesy nuggets are pretty good

Getting a malfunction that causes your vehicle to instantly explode on the starting grid in Star Wars Galactic Racer is both annoying and very funny

Less funny is getting a malfunction during the very first race that nerfs your afterburner just after signing a contract that pays you to use the afterburner

I don't want to be that guy but the action direction in Brand New Day is way better than the previous solo MCU Spider-Man movies

Note to marketers: you don't need to appropriate every cool new saying you see

I don't believe these kids were playing with Matchbox cars instead of Hot Wheels

Today I learnt that the famous San Francisco cable cars basically move by latching onto a cable constantly moving at speed in the middle of the road

That Dressmaker game but you're Alfred and you have to make Batman's costumes

Star Wars Galactic Racer really nails the feelings of both being barely in control and going so fast you can't see shit (positive)

Update: we ended up going with another company who actually sent someone out to look at the job in person and gave us a quote the next day while we're still waiting for a reply from these guys

Hj@hjrethuan.com

It turns out the only place they have an email address listed is on their Facebook page so we sent one off to that

Watching every team on The Amazing Race get an Express Pass and seeing half of them blowing them on the first two legs

Finished XCOM Chimera Squad, it was great! I really liked the smaller scale tactical encounters and the breaching stuff. I do wish you could keep playing missions after you beat the campaign though.

To be honest I think the devs may have gone a bit too far this time, they've shoved a theme park simulator into a museum simulator with established mechanics and it doesn't really work I'll keep playing though

Hj@hjrethuan.com

For some reason the idea of basically putting a new Theme Park into Two Point Museum is very funny to me

Like the base game you can do deliveries in your car but since my average highway driving speed is like 170km/h I sometimes get docked money for "unexpected delivery time"

The new American Truck Sim: Road Trip car DLC needs a no damage option. Just sayin'

American Truck Simulator has somehow become the best open world driving game on the market
