Thirded. Triced? Anyway, I haven’t gamed in front of a TV or monitor in almost a decade. All of it has been handheld (either 3DS early in those 10 years, or now with either phone or a Retro gaming device of some sort, or a switch, I dont have a steamdeck).
And I haven’t had a long gaming session in almost that same time frame. Games that I can pick up and play for 10s of minutes before I have to go be an adult again are the ones that get played the most.
Both sorta. I created my Lemmy account around the time Reddit started fucking with the API calls which affected Apollo, which was one of the best apps I’ve ever used. And I sort of split my time between Lemmy and Reddit, mainly for for the SBC gaming subreddit, but some politics and such too. And then within the last month I started getting pinged left and right for up voting stuff of all things, and then being warned about threatening violence (for saying Republicans should get their toes stepped on by the justice department).
But now I’m over here full time.
Having played Grand theft san Andreas, and Grand theft Auto V, the best part for me is driving around and exploring. I’ve tried doing the missions and such and I dunno, just not my thing.
So, a way I would enjoy the series more is like a free roam mode or something, maybe a crime spree mode too now that I’m thinking about it, where basically you could get away with whatever and not have your star level increase.
I guess just the regular game is a free roam mode, at least in GTA V. San Andreas locked parts of the map behind a “Hurricane preparation” excuse till you did more missions.
Not tourist per se, but I live next to a large state university, and it’s either the college kids themselves or their families doing the stupid shit. It’s very wooded in my area while still being “suburbany”, so we get those people admiring the foliage in the fall.
In the winter when it snows, for a lot of the students and their families it’s their first time driving in it and it shows. I suppose I can cut them some slack for that though if they’ve never had to drive in it.
Anyway, it’s just mainly oblivious drivers, that are either attempting to find their way around so they drive extra slow or stop suddenly in the middle of the road, or the go ripping through the neighborhood because of the traffic on the main roads. Like, come on, there are kids playing and such, you can go 50mph through the neighborhoods around here with the number of kids playing. I’ve proposed multiple times for speed bumps in the neighborhoods around the university, but the council says “it will impede the flow of traffic” ?!? That’s the fucking point, morons! Ugh.
