- The game starts in a bordered window, with the Windows "Not Responding" text in the title bar. Windows 11 says that "Auto HDR" is enabled. Is this a repeat of "Starfield", with no native HDR implementation?
- Eventually the game snaps into a borderless fullscreen mode, and begins reading text in that obnoxious robot voice we all know and love: performative virtual signaling nonsense.
- The first real bit of user interface pops up: "Accessibility Options." As we know, that's one of the core foundational pillars of Wokeness. The option right at the top says it will help blind people play. Why would a blind person play a video game? Such is the clown world we live in.
- I went into the graphics menu right off. It's nonsensical! Beyond that, it kept forgetting my DLSS selection when I would exit it and go back in.
- The in-menu music is straight out of a Pfizer commercial. It's the kind of generic soaring shit you hear when the advertisement is showing an interracial couple smiling in slow motion while the narrator reads off the five hundred side effects.
- There is this stupid cunt who condescendingly talks throughout the whole game. You select "Buy Cars", and she enlightens you: "This is where you can buy cars!" During the races she's constantly jabbering away: "Final lap, push it!" While introducing the cups, she engages in cringe-worthy banalities such as, "Better buckle up, it's going to get wild!" Of course, notice in the first place how the narrator is a woman, and second how the game designers treat the player like a toddler.
- When you get to the point where you can pick your driver, they have the "body type" nonsense going on. Of course, the female selection is the default, wearing a pink racing suit.
- The next place I went was into the shop menu to look at the car models. See the top screenshot, below.
- Then the race started, and it did a pan of the track. See the second screenshot.
- The driving itself seems fine, if not a little floaty. But little details "felt" off; the driving seating position was weird, some of the cars had no shifting animation when changing gears, and the clutch button seemed to "stick on" so when you got back on the throttle the engine would bang off the rev limiter for a second or two.
I'll write my review this week, and probably just uninstall the game. It's so awful I never want to play it again.
Israel
I was assured recently by Newt Gingrich that Kevin McCarthy was as conservative as one could get. A real conservative among conservatives, and that anyone who opposed him was a traitor. So why then is Mr. McCarthy trying to start World War III over Israel? A "new evil axis", made up of "Iran, Russia, and China"? You mean, the same "Iran" as the one from the 90s-vintage Wolfowitz Doctrine? What a coincidence! And I thought Dubbya's old "axis of evil" was pretty ambitious-- watch out, because now the US politicians want to depose the Chinese government!
Nothing nutty about that at all, I assure you!
In fact, almost all of the "conservative" punditry and politicians are trying to get us all killed, and with utmost fervor: "Eyepatch McCain" Dan Crenshaw of course, then there is John Nolte and Neal Pollak who think Israel should basically turn Gaza into glass; Nikki Haley, obviously! Victor Davis Hanson says that Israel needs to stop the Hamas "global propaganda machine"-- that's a hot take full of self-awareness if I've ever heard one.
And on and on it goes.
Even the footballing world isn't immune: Aurelio De Laurentiis says he "doesn't like the way Arabs treat women". Well guess what Aurelio: the Arabs don't like the way Italians handle women. Maybe they should fund a Mediterranian invasion from Libya to knock you off your high moral horse?
The only non-terrifying people I've heard on this topic are Eric Peters, who points out that the new speaker is the same as the old speaker; Peter Schiff, who considers that the US can't afford peace much less war; Vivek Rama-whatever who explains that the American politician's moral authority begins and ends with the American people; and Vincent James, the only guy I've yet found on the entire internet who doesn't withhold the uncomfortable truths.
As for me...
The Bolshevist Jews, as I identified here, have spent the past hundred years or more: controlling the banking system; creating a money supply racket to make themselves unfathomably rich at our expense; running the entire foreign policy apparatus of my own country; pushing homosexuality, pedophilia, and every other kind of hedonism on my culture; opening my country's borders wide open while simultaneously saying that closed borders are needed for their country to protect their culture, their heritage, and so on; and running companies like Blackrock, buying up majority share positions in every corporation to undermine white Christian culture.
They lied about World War I; they lied about World War II; they lied about the "holocaust" and the "six million prophecy fulfillment"; they lied about "9/11"; their news organizations lied about BLM; about George Floyd; about the origins of the WuFlu; they pushed experimental clot shots on half the world's population causing millions upon millions of excess deaths, and causing countless other millions to suffer debilitating side effects; they created Hamas!
And let's also not forget: they are also almost certainly lying that Mossad didn't see these attacks coming. Try chewing on those implications.
That's not to say by-the-by that these Hamas fellows aren't nutjobs. There are no "good guys" in this conflict. I've seen tons of videos from their own body cams of them running into crowds, shooting civilians in the back, rolling grenades into civilian bomb shelters-- these aren't nice people. I'm also not lacking in empathy for the murdered or threatened "normie" Jews who have nothing to do with any of this: who don't support the Zionist globalist agenda; who are perhaps on my side of the issues, but just happen to have been born in Israel and are tied there due to family and circumstance.
I get it. Sucks for them-- and I really mean that.
But let George Soros, Larry Fink, and the rest of them buy Israel some missiles-- they have combined ill-begotten wealth more than many small nations. Not another red cent should flow to them or their idiotic country, and if the whole thing collapses in a heap and falls to the Arabs, then so be it. If China invaded the United States, would I try to obligate Libyans or Iraqis to bankrupt their country and risk nuclear warfare to come rescue me? I'm no hypocrite: I work it both ways. I'd expect them to instead grab the popcorn-- and wouldn't fault them for that attitude.
Before I end this post, for anyone who is going to say, "But Sniper, what about you, as a Christian?" First: evidence strongly suggests that the tribes of Israel went to Europe-- that the people currently in Israel are imposters. Second: even if that wasn't the case, Jesus made obsolete the Old Covenant! He brought in the gentiles, and made the whole universe "Israel", and all who would follow Him the "chosen people". Christians are under no theological obligation to support the state of Israel. But nice try anyway.
