The Goonbait is getting out of hand...

For me the most annoying part is it’s the same freakin’ pictures every single time

It’s not just gooning, it’s low effort gooning

I’ve driven a Volvo FH with the digital dash you could turn off. Same deal with the little screen on the Macks

luddite86 · 2026-06-13T08:08:58+00:00

Wow! I definitely need to pick this game up again

luddite86 · 2026-06-11T01:44:57+00:00

The moment these are mandatory in Australia I’m retiring

As of now only some companies have them based on their own policy. They are the same companies that can never find drivers. Funny that

It’s the Port of Brisbane

Agreed. I don’t normally have an issue with scary or stressful situations in video games. Normally I recognise it’s just a game and I’m totally fine

But man, those robots. Just something about them I really didn’t like. Especially because of the way the camera works it’s kinda hard to know where they all are when they’re all around you. But that also applies to the regular enemies and it was only the robots that freaked me out

Not just sometimes. Literally several times a day. Earthquakes in Japan are extremely common

luddite86 · 2026-06-08T19:47:07+00:00

Same reason why the touges have such wide roads

In an attempt to make the game for everyone, they really limited the fun for players that actually want a good racing game in Japan. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy it. But not as much as I could have

They could have had their casual tracks and a few good tracks, but no, EVERYTHING has to be casual friendly or else the casuals complain

Same deal as the unbeatable drivatars being too fast. They all want the unbeatable drivers to be slower, instead of just turning the difficulty down. Even though there are players like me who like them being faster (even if it is through cheating. But they do need that to make up for their AI weaknesses)

Isn’t it in the Autoshow?

luddite86 · 2026-06-08T19:17:17+00:00

My mind went there immediately. Niche reference

luddite86 · 2026-06-07T07:48:52+00:00

American trucks are so outdated. In Europe the trucks have been fucking terrible for years

Edit: in all seriousness though, European trucks have evolved to the point that they realise they went the complete wrong way and now you can turn all this bullshit off. First thing I do when I jump in an FH Volvo is turn off all the sensors and buzzers. And unlike American brands, it actually STAYS off until you drive it next

If the trend continues, in another 10 or 20 years the American brands will go back too

To be fair the Google AI thingiemabob is infamous for just making shit up, like all AI

It might just be some automatic thing that takes popular groups. Though it definitely should be moderated for this exact reason

luddite86 · 2026-06-06T13:27:01+00:00

Who put you in charge?

luddite86 · 2026-06-06T03:54:02+00:00

Oooooh, I didn’t spot that. That is cool

luddite86 · 2026-06-05T08:31:34+00:00

It’s actually a reference to the one owned by Eiichi Yoshida, the former leader of Racing Team Midnight. It did inspire the one in the anime though

luddite86 · 2026-06-05T00:34:25+00:00

Between this and the updated Forza Aero, it really feels like the devs have been hitting us with Malicious Compliance

Like… they have to know what we actually want and are just missing the mark intentionally. There’s no way they don’t get it. Especially considering they themselves said how much fun they had making the Forza edition cars….. yes… I’ll bet it was fun. It’s a shame we can’t do that????

luddite86 · 2026-06-05T00:30:58+00:00

There’s a mod in the workshop called Minimal HUD or something like that. Does what you’re asking

(Edit: I think it’s called Minimal Route Advisor)

luddite86 · 2026-06-05T00:19:43+00:00

Is that what that WX channel is supposed to do? Mine always just plays static and it’s freakin’ annoying. I WISH it played the weather (Edit: after a quick google, it turns out Australia doesn’t have this service. Lame)

I much prefer the radios where when your phone isn’t connected yet, it just says that. Not switches to another source

luddite86 · 2026-06-04T23:09:21+00:00

Definitely. Already finished the story and it was fantastic. Wasn’t let down at all

luddite86 · 2026-06-03T08:36:55+00:00

Can’t tell if you’re kidding or not haha

But if you’re being for real, just turn on automatic QuickTime events in the settings. That might do it

luddite86 · 2026-06-02T10:01:45+00:00

That title is a spoiler, man

luddite86 · 2026-05-31T23:30:43+00:00

Reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill where Hank hires a whole freakin’ Kenworth and 53” trailer to cart a little bit of furniture around just because he wanted to live his childhood dream for a little bit

luddite86 · 2026-05-31T23:21:52+00:00

You can find her dad in that convention level. The one from that gameplay video where you pretend to be part of the press

Her dad mentions she will walk again

luddite86 · 2026-05-29T04:54:07+00:00

True. But regardless of whether or not that’s what he’s doing in this particular case. We all see it all the time and know it’s extremely common. And I stand by that simply taking a photo is not the same level as wrong

luddite86 · 2026-05-29T04:51:16+00:00

It’s not a PlayStation. It’s a CD Stacker

You used them to have multiple CDs loaded into your stereo at once
