I guess I picked a good time to buy. It is fun but tough to get into as somebody who grew up playing F-Zero rather than Wipeout. Piloting the racers in this feels comparatively like trying to steer an oceanliner at transonic speeds.

Try practicing at Cassandra. That's the best track for learning, IMO. The 2159 version of the Barracuda Model A ship on the toxic speed class is a good way to get used to the speed. I'd run some speed laps around Cassandra in it, and then, after you feel comfortable, increase the speed class gradually over time. That's what worked for me anyway.

Kinda sad that development is coming to and end, but I can understand wanting to move onto new projects after so much time. I adore this game. It's THE game if you want a true spiritual successor to the Wipeout series. I can't recommend it enough. It's very frustrating that it's so overlooked.

Weren't they working on a huge Lord of the Rings MMORPG? I'm guessing that was quietly canceled?

Cause this isn't totally going to end up being a disaster for their company that will likely get a massive number of their employees laid off, only for them to desperately want them back as AI runs their company into the ground.

I completely expect them to throw in the towel on gaming and streaming at some point in the not-too-distant future. When that happens, Twitch will likely be sold off. It's all been doing nothing but losing tons of money for them, and they have made no headway into becoming successful as a games company. Nobody I've ever heard of uses Luna.

If they release a cat version, I'll play it, lol. I'm not a dog person. But it's cool that this is free (well, the base game, anyway).

I'm still really nervous about how long until the new owners start messing with things. I don't want to lose my lifetime subscription.

I wonder why the official dosbox takes so long to receive updates? It's been 6 years. Was it abandoned?

That meme is what I feel like every time I wake up in the morning. Mega coping as the world burns down around us.
