@beardalaxy yeah, I really liked balancing the boost and drift and the way each car felt pretty different. The tracks were fun and creative.
I really want something like Burnout Paradise to come back. That’s one of my favorite racers.
Hot Wheels Unleashed is on gamepass so I thought I'd give it a try. The difficulty is completely broken. Easy is boringly easy and "medium" is "fuck you the computer cheats now".
So I'm either bored or raging while playing and... I think that just kills it for me. It's a shame. The tracks are really cool, especially the longer ones that play with gravity and such. The cars are fun because they look like hot wheels. Probably it'd be fun to race against actual people, but I'd like a single player mode that's a little more even.
Oh well, gamepass is actually really good at the 'full game demo' slot I put it into. Not buying this game just paid for like 2-3 months of gamepass.
@Mr_NutterButter I'm guessing they're much too busy ruining Diablo 4 right now to muck with Diablo 2. I'll get my 20 bucks worth out of it before they can set their gaze upon it.
@Waerloga @racuna I agree that Haiti has had a hard lot. Calling it amazing in 1804 is a bit of a stretch. By the end of the Haitian Revolution Port au Prince had been burned down (for the second time iirc). Most of the infrastructure on the island had been destroyed. Within a few short years the only way to get the economy back on track was for Dessalines to force (former) slaves to work in plantations again.
Haiti suffered from the same problems that most Latin American revolutions suffered from in that it became a string of strongmen that wanted autocratic rule and to fleece the population to enrich themselves and close friends.
Haiti had had tons of trials from outside sources as well, but it’s disingenuous to say that’s the only source of its troubles. Could it have been a better place if the world embraced it directly and immediately? I don’t know and neither does anyone else.
Also, man, that shit with the president’s assassin being an FBI informant is fucked up.
@racuna it’s true, wakanda appears to be the sole function black society
@Moon I’ll do anything that doesn’t mildly inconvenience me or require me to learn anything or do any work to fight fascism!
