  • My Summer Car isn’t even really a racing game, it’s a Finland simulator that happens to involve fixing a car. And it’s also possibly the best “actions have consequences” game. An example: There is a local drunk you can sell booze to, who will regularly call you and ask for a ride home from the pub. Spoilers follow.

    1

    If you stiff him by selling him bottles filled with water instead of alcohol, he will slash your tires and cut your brake lines.

    2

    After giving him several rides home, he will drunkenly confide in you about winning the lottery, not having told his wife, and that he hid a suitcase full of money in the woods. You can actually find this suitcase and steal his money.

    3

    If you steal the money, some time later, you’ll go to sleep and awaken to him in your bedroom with an axe, about to kill you. You can knock him out and escape fairly easily, however

    4

    at the end of the game if you’ve stolen the money his body will be found swinging from a noose underneath a nearby bridge, and he will have left a suicide note pinned to his front door by an axe.


  • the best racing/driving game I know is Motor Town: Behind the Wheel.

    Don’t let the graphics fool you. Check out nexusmods, get the most popular ones and hoon to your hearts content – it’s not quite as deep as BeamNG or My Summer Car (which I also recommend, but they are not my favorites), but you can do some very goofy shit (1000HP EV engine in a go-kart is a personal favorite). Plus there’s tons more to do besides just races. It looks like a deceptively simple game, it is not.











  • global warming at this rate absolutely does have the potential to extinct us, no matter how cool we think we are. Tenacity and versatility will only carry you so far when you fuck up nature so badly that all the things you’d eat for food are themselves extinct or almost extinct. At the point we were down to a few thousand individuals, I should imagine that the climate not being super hyper mega fucked helped immensely in ensuring those people had adequate food – you aren’t going to be running down a deer (or a rabbit, or any other wild game) in the post-climate-apocalypse world if all the deer are dead because the food chain supporting the deer population collapsed. You aren’t going to be farming because extreme weather variations will make it impossible, you might be in for a drought or a monsoon and you’ll certainly not have accurate weather forecasting to go off of by that point. Foraging? I sure hope none of the various food chains and water cycles supporting the growth of forage-able food has collapsed either (they probably will). Fishing? Ocean acidity, microplastics, and global warming are all fighting to be the thing that kills that off, take your pick.
