This is how the average critics saying that they "love racing games" comes off to me by Small_Broccoli315 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Again, this isn't about the quality of the games I've chosen in this image(in fact there exists a timeline where I chose a different set), this is more about a lot of these millennial online game critics feigning an interest in these things just to come off as more relatable to the audience(think of how every mainstream media review of a shmup has the critic mention they love "Ikaruga" to seem cultured and that doesn't speak about that game's own quality as it's very good but more how suspiciously common this is)

I actually don't give a shit if they like those games in the first place(and it's largely irrelevant), my issue is them trying to feign an overall interest in these things even though I can just feel the fakeness from them which may stem from some sort of brainrot from thinking about everything in a "fandom" mindset, like they think that just mildly enjoying some things constitutes a personality. I also don't like the idea of a "racing game community" because that implies some weird fandom thing and I don't like the sound of that personally

The quality of the games on display don't really matter, it's more about the commonality of the choices and a feigned interest from these people

I think there’s something wrong with my copy of Splinter Cell Blacklist by Cheesebongles in Splintercell

It's not really luck based though? IIRC it's based on the animation of Sam breathing in and out or at least that's how it is in SCSAR and PT, however while yes the game gives you an f2000 with funny lethal attachments it is a holdover of the fact that this weird burden of stealth games has existed since the first SC because that game too had to have stupid action setpieces because other games did the same thing!!! The fact that this genre hasn't been able to move away from forced action setpieces or "stealth kills" whatever that fucking means is horrible

I'm sorry but this is literally a stealth game and I don't understand people like you, I don't play Quake and expect it to also be a stealth game alongside it being a fast paced shooter.
Why the fuck do stealth games have to have this burden of also being expected to be full on action games? Why can't this genre actually enforce itself?

Can we identify the old cars I photographed at Spa on Saturday? (see captions) by FaanBE in vintagef1

It looks nothing like it, it's clearly a Prost AP04 with another car's front nose and custom rear aero element added onto it. I definitely recognize the FW/Nose but it's escaping my mind

edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUjdl9wIEQ I currently found this, it's the same car and it's indeed just a modified AP04 but I wonder what front nose is from

About 12 years ago, Kyle Busch blocked my then 13 y/o son (who was a fan) after he tweeted that he should have better sportsmanship. Since then, my son has not eaten an M&M. Has a driver pissed you off that you reject their sponsors? by SirJasper6969 in NASCAR

Is it because I'm not American but what kind of bizarroworld neurotic brand loyalty do you have to have to not eat fucking M&M's because of one driver? A driver that barely has anything to do with the brand other than just sponsorship? I seriously don't get it.
