This new The Sims 3 performance patcher sounds pretty crazy ngl

I wonder how they profiled that... Profiling apps with no source access is a bit of my blind spot at the moment.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.

Neat, that's exactly why I split the "logic" and "frontend" parts off so the logic can be used in CPython too

OVERCRASH on Steam Devastate the roads with your vehicle, wreck objects, explode traffic, take down helicopters, boost everywhere and chain combos to unlock new rides and challenges.

This looks cool, might be worth a try through a demo on itch.io

This does look intriguing from the gameplay/story perspective, but it's clearly quite early. That said, I am a bit over the UE5 games looking kind of "samey" 🫀

Border color is a nice way to debug texture wrapping issues, and it reveals that all those trees have an incorrect sampling mode set (as evidenced by a 1px line floating around them).

Aww, I wanted to try this masterpiece, but it crashes at the race start even if I use dgVoodoo or DDrawCompat 😭

Turns out there are car games that elude even me; this particular one seems pretty bad from the reviews, though.

The default overhead camera is just fine for rallying, but being able to look at these glorious cars up close with the chase camera is something else.

I did not have a "ChoroQ rally game" in my 2026 bingo card, but Super Woden Rally Edge has bonuses that deliver on exactly that.

I wonder how would a tuned Sierra look

This reminded me of what I saw in Agents of Mayhem years ago - "Standard Issue" getting translated as if "issue" meant "problem" in this context

A small pet peeve of mine - every other rally game has a Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500, but not even ONE game features a Sierra Sapphire that also did some rally over the years. Maybe one day we'll see it in some game...

Today I learned that this specific FH5 translation line was fine in pre-release copies, as evidenced by this footage from October 2021. It's also fine in the current version of the game, yet my launch copy in November 2021 had a nonsensical "[literal] horizon, that [one] is Mexico".

Finally, a camera angle control via mouse from HT2 4.0-5.8 in KotR 8.2/1.3. However, due to the wide screen resolution, there are problems with centering the camera.

Gymkhana is really satisfying when you manage to keep your lines smooth.
