Playing GT3 for the first time in…. Possibly a couple decades. And I hadn’t realized just how big a change in physics and even track layout there was between it an GT4.

Word I’m deeply sick of: “elevated”

My kingdom for a Hyundai Kona EV N or a Kia Niro EV GT. There’s potential in them there hatches.

I just realized. The Pokemon store I visited in Tokyo Station last fall wasn't called a Pokemart. Or even Pokemon Center. What a missed opportunity.

So yes, the blunt-nose kei trucks and vans we know and love are adorable. But I think this 1965 Suzuki Carry, that has a cab that literally looks like a scaled-down normal pickup, might actually be even more adorable.

Oh wow, I’ve been sitting on the race start screen for Grand Valley Highway 1 in GT7, and the panning shots went to one of the coast where Polyphony modeled and animated a whole bunch of Elephant Seals on the beach. Virtually impossible to see from the track.

Playing with the Suzuki Jimny in GT7 is giving me a worrisome desire for a kei or kei-based 4x4

I’m generally a PT Cruiser apologist, especially in the wake of a lot of revisionist history regarding the model. But the thing that was arguably the best part that should make a comeback is the impressive high roof opening and removable rear seats. Basically a tiny van in a hatch shape.

Always a cheery surprise remembering that GT plays jazzy Christmas tunes on the main menus during December.

Starting Alan Wake finally (since it’s part of the same world as Control). And I figured you’d all be interested to hear that Alan Wake has a (legally distinct) Lincoln MKT

A bit surprised to see at least 4 Lyriqs at my local Cadillac dealer tonight.

Watched the new Haunted Mansion tonight. And it had good parts, but the whole thing felt kinda messy. And that’s a bummer because the cast was excellent. LaKeith Stanfield in particular had a couple scenes that were way better than the movie deserved.
