Just dig a hole in a subduction zone and let tectonics reclaim the materials.

Racing in VR is such a great experience, I'd love to see more of it. Simulation and arcade style. But you're right, we need one with a robust, slow paced progression system. I remember really enjoying unlocking everything in NFS Porsche Unleashed, going through the eras, starting slow but getting slowly faster. Then NFS Underground 2 came out and still stands alone as the best example of racing progression by a large margin. Then it's like the gameplay design has been going further back in time since then. I am using the same simple progression mechanics in new racers that I used in Sega GT 2002, and they were old then.

As to why, it feels like they don't have AAA budgets anymore. The high quality simulator games like the Dirt series have to spend their whole wad getting the physics and performance right, there's not much left for anything else, so it's just menus and a simple money system. That's just my guess, it could just be they need to hire a couple RPG designers among the gear head ones.

I wasn't debating you, I don't disagree with anything you said. You posted a thought provoking comment and I shared my thoughts.

This is why I request it. I hate card view and will never use it. A long press menu or a swipe menu takes no physical space on screen and ads extremely useful functionality.

No, it's like how apple juice is jus de pomme.

When I was 12 that would be such a treat. Well done!

She could still use her old job to woo progressives so long as she frames it as her experience giving her insight into the broken parts criminal justice system like the police problem and crazy, unqualified judges. But if she goes all thin blue line on us she can get fucked.

Yeah, insurance is a fundamental, necessary piece of civilization and has existed since before Hammurabi. But it has also been abused by profiteers since then too, and it's not always easy to tell the difference. In a cut-throat, free market, capitalist driven economy, the incentive is to cover nothing for high premiums. A scam, essentially. Add a law where corporations are people and unlimited political donations is free speech and you'll have enourmous pressure put on politicians to keep the insurance industry unregulated (except making buying it mandatory). Thus Geiko is allowed to exist. Lower premiums, but you are essentially uninsured for anything more than a minor fender bender. Paying premiums for nothing. This is bad for everyone involved in an accident except the insurance companies.

Revenue is not the same as money spent. They have raked in enough money to build to build a rocket, so have many games. That's a good thing. All you are doing is calling them successful.
