Hi! Do you remember blogs? Well, this used to be one. Now it just serves as an archive for my multiple Twitter accounts.

I mean the one thing that’d make the game 100x better is a usable manual gearbox, but I’d be a bit sore buying the game again just for that.

Call me pessimistic, but I have a feeling I’m gonna buy this then request a refund because the changes won’t justify the expense

I’ve just realized out of nowhere how much I miss Driveclub VR. Dirt is awesome but way too intense for me to play for more than twenty minutes at a time… and all the other games are made for hardcore fans who, among other things, don’t care about UX.

I was excited way back when inklings of a partnership between Microsoft and Oculus meant there was a chance the Forza franchise would suddenly sprout stereo vision, but Microsoft’s VR focus now seems to be miles away from the kind of hardware that can run a photorealistic car simulator.

I just can’t imagine putting PSVR back on my head, though.
