Maybe the author of the article/blog doesn’t know about Heroic?
They mention lutris, but note that it isn’t a functional equivalent to Galaxy. But as far as I’m aware, Heroic is (correct me if I’m wrong, I haven’t seen Galaxy in action).
Dropping the name of the show early in the conversation works better.
This show is readily available in torrents, where the community has curated from the highest quality sources available.
It’s maybe not so bad, but I spent ridiculous hours in POD, playing every track and in reverse, and with every car, and split screen multiplayer.
I’ve never been able to get it to work with dgVoodoo, so the 3dfx crispness isn’t there. And I think it’s limited to 800x600 (but I remember it being somewhat prone to crashes above 640x480, this was about 10 years ago though). I also had a lot of audio popping which I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
It was such a great looking game to show off the Glide graphics on a 15” svga monitor, but for me it didn’t scale well on a 24 - 27” hi res screen.
Road Rash and Skitchin are great. The Ayrton Senna games too, but I played those on Master System.
Network Q RAC Rally Championship on DOS is as good as it gets. Not the sequel International Rally Championship, which is far worse.
POD on Windows 9x. It has not held up and doesn’t look so good no matter how you get it working now. But if you played it back then those memories will live inside you forever.
Badlands on Commodore 64.
Moto Roader 2 on PC Engine.
NFS Porsche Unleashed/2000 (whatever they called it in your region) is the best NFS game.
I’m hoping (but not feeling very hopeful) that this could get any racing wheel going under some generic driver.
I have a Fanatec Porsche GT3 racing wheel that I bought in 2011. But switched my main desktop PC to Linux a few months later, so it’s just been sitting in a box since then.
It’s a very nice wheel.
This person basically saying, “I need to be paid if you want to speak with my property”.
Why do they want everything to be treated like a business with contracts and signed agreements? I mean we know their worldview is fucked, but it’s still mind boggling that this is how they want to live and communicate with others.
