Hardcore GT fans know this story. But one of my favorite underrated parts of my job is sharing what most people don’t know, and preserving what might not necessarily be new, because we’ll forget it if we let ourselves. Also, I love digging through 30-year-old Next Gen interviews.

How Gran Turismo's Creator Snuck a Sim Into a Mario Kart Rival to Persuade Sony Execs
Believe it or not, Sony rejected the original pitch for Gran Turismo. So the creator hatched a sneaky plan to make it happen anyway.

Racing game fans care more about banking future video essays on "underrated racing game x/ racing game you've never heard of" than supporting original ideas

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life. Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

I mean yes, it does hit EVs hard, but it also hits HD pickups hard too and I’m very into that. And it’s better than an EV-only tax which is just pure spite. The AAI is a bad organization (see: anti R2R lobbying) but I’m OK with this idea.

The idea that every popular game would need endless updates to appease fans and content creators is a relatively new concept.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

Saw Project Hail Mary the other day and it pisses me off to think that if this movie happened 30 years ago there'd be a kids animated series spinoff called The Adventures of Grace & Rocky or some shit and it would fill my soul Like any cartoon tie-in of the time it'd probably suck but still

I am far from the biggest Max fan, but guy's got a point. F1 media is in the top three reasons why I struggle to give a shit about this sport for longer than one season every four years. "Hey, do you regret that one crash six months ago?" What in the ever living fuck do you expect him to say??

It’s a really great feeling when a game comes out of nowhere and single-handedly gives you hope for an entire genre. Milestone should be so proud of what they’ve achieved here.

Screamer Review: A New Benchmark for Racing Game Artistry

It's great how all through the aughts and 2010s, critics said real console games could never work on handhelds, that the formats were too different, and then the Switch and Steam Deck happen and suddenly nobody gives a shit about that anymore. We could've had a true GT on the PSP or Vita, dammit.

Nobody talks enough about how U-Haul is a weird company. Don’t even think about using these boxes for more than four moves or a duration of more than 12 years.

Late to the discourse, but Innsmouth no Yakata is exactly my type of horror game: Creepy but not, like, scary to the point I can't play it. My biggest issue is that I can only either focus on the reticle or the distance; whatever I'm not looking at is crossed. Messing with IPD doesn't fix it.

We'd love to say there's a Beetle Adventure Racing for every Volvo: Drive for Life, but our exploration of games based around a single automaker's products mostly turned up stuff that's not worth playing. We suffered so you don't have to. "One Make Racing Games" is live!
