I feel like what people seem to forget a lot of the time is that cyberpunk as a genre isn’t (just) about aesthetic, and it’s certainly not about action, but about big ideas. It’s why media that focuses solely on looking and sounding like cyberpunk tends to disappoint me, and why something like Cyberpunk 2077 was…

It teeters on a will-the-won’t-they, but drops all pretenses mid-game.
Yeah 24 hour endurance races exist in real life. Typically you race these with a team of drivers. I’m sure the rewards just vary from race to race. 24 hours of Le Mans, Daytona and Spa are probably the three most prestigious.

“Nvidia’s purely greed-driven actions”

Why do people keep calling this an immersive sim lol
“In the wake of the Kyoto Animation tragedy, game companies and Japanese authorities have shown zero tolerance for such threats”
Say whaaaat?
The DMCA was a HUGE FUCKING MISTAKE.
Yeah that game is great! The bundle also has some lovely gems such as ‘Baba is You’, and ‘A short hike’, though most people probably know about those already.
Faith in humanity restored... For now...
Without fail, every workplace or community I’ve been a part of where “people can speak their minds freely” has become toxic and abusive, usually with the leaders directly contributing to that. “Free speech” is often the bulwark they use to defend being an asshole, and allowing others to be assholes so they can laugh…
