half the list is European. Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes, Koenigsegg, Pagani, Volkswagen, Volvo.

aren’t most of these games just licensed? I know into the breach and moonlighter are available on steam.

“white trash” is not descriptive, it is a metaphor. Calling a person trash is equating them to trash, but no mater how much you dislike them, no person is actual trash.

But everything you stated can be done with just a normal database.

also “intelligence” and “knowledge” are completely unrelated qualities
