Thanks man, appreciate it. Playing at 1440p at the moment but hoping to bump that up to 4K when I get the 3080... provided they don't sell out in 5 seconds.

Some more Horizon:

NFS: Hot Pursuit

That last police car needs "Interceptor" written on it. Wait... is there an actual DOOR on that car??

Man, the PC version of Hot Pursuit still looks really good. I played it on Xbox 360 back in the day and it wowed me then, but I don't think it would hold up today. This, though.. the countryside might not look that impressive by today's standards but does that really matter when you're flying by at speeds in excess of 250 km/h? It's got it where it counts.. the cars. I think they look excellent even now.

I wish I was still engaged by racing games. I've fallen off of that genre completely over the years, and I can't really tell you why. Even the formidable Forza Horizon 4 with its amazing setting wasn't enough to keep me glued to the screen. As a kid I used to play hours upon hours of NFS: Porsche Unleashed or Underground 2, but nowadays I just can't bring myself to care. NFS: Heat looks fun and I've wanted to buy it but I stop myself because I just know I'll play 4-5 hours and be done with it.

Nah, you're supposed to just use the window Duke of Hazard style

It really surprised me how well it holds up today. It's easily my favorite NFS game, especfially in terms of multiplayer. I used to love the old Hot Pursuit games when I was a kid as well.

I'm with you on the racing front though. I used to play racing games a lot but nowadays I keep buying them and end up playing for a few hours before I move onto something else. When I get my Reverb G2 though, I'm going to invest in getting a wheel and a proper racing set up.

I used to LOVE this game. I still think it did a lot of things right. Definitely one of my favorite racing games of all time.

Booted up No Man's Sky again for the first time in forever.
Not much to show, but I spent an absurd amount of time customising my spacefarer.

I still haven't looked at mine. When I first played, I thought the fact that you couldn't see yourself was kinda neat so I've stayed in first person. (Though I haven't played in several months now.)
