Underground 1 (and burnout 3) both for ps2 are the racing games I always fall back to.

I really, really dislike open worlds, stories, pointless customization, and any sort of online play.

I want fast moving, hard to see, dodging traffic racing, with lots of crashing (or close calls).

Alabama… well we actually get to use a black bic pen. But we feed it into a scantron reader.

I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?

Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.

My spouse and I just use SO (esso) for significant other. I like it more than partner as it is explicitly a romantic or at least very important relationship.
