This run, I started with a Toyota Vitz because of the Gran Turismo meme. Even painted it pink and all. Many cars are viable in this game, I'm currently tearing through most rivals with a Subaru Impreza Wagon! The thing you must notice, however, is that the game heavily relies on upgrading and tuning your car. And, many upgrades don't initially do anything tangible to your car until you manually mess with them. Upgraded transmission, go in there and set shorter gear ratios. Upgraded suspension, go in there and mess with hardening the springs and dampeners, change wheel alignment and lower the ride height. You can touch up almost any setup section you can think of, it's really a car game for gear heads. But that's why I love it. I think it's even more in depth in that aspect than even Gran Turismo, even if it's not trying to be a super realistic sim. The whole Tokyo Xtreme Racer franchise is like that, although the highway racers are much more hardcore. TXR Zero is straight up unfair if you're playing sub optimally.

I think I'm about 40 hours in? I have unlocked all but one track in the game until now. You gotta remember to check the "internet forums" to challenge the leaders of every track, and get hints of how to find new rivals. After some point when you get sponsors, money stops being an issue, even if you can't farm races during the day.

Doom is almost always my answer. Especially with the fresh Nightdive rerelease!

Anyway I've been playing EDF5 again online, and Kaido Racer on the PS2, a lovely street racing game about the mountain roads of Japan.

It should run, the Unity port before this worked, right? I'll try installing the GoG version on Linux tomorrow, but I already played it on my Switch too and it ran great. Just like the Quake rereleases

EDF!! This is one of my favorite series and one I'm very hyped for again due to the new sequel. Definitely recommend it as a fun coop experience with friends, blowing up hordes of giant alien insects, robots, flying saucers and legally-distinct Kaijus.

I had done the same, and did the upgrade. So far I haven't seen any issues with audio. Just remember to reboot after the upgrade is done.

"Who has power to destroy something, is the one who holds true control over it." Or something, I never conquered a planet. Thank you Paul Atreides, very cool.

That is a nice way of measuring control over your own devices and systems, though.
