They ALL suck. Then on top of that you get assaulted with tipping culture. I don't understand why people go to those places, aside from being morons.

Similar feeling about movie theaters. It's literally less comfortable for me and less picture quality than my home TV and couch.

You still have Forza, Forza Horizon, Gran Turismo, Wreckfest, F1, WRC, Need for Speed, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, MotoGP, Monster Energy Supercross, Hot Wheels Unleashed, NASCAR, and Lego 2k Drive just to name a few that have current or recent releases and are great and fill a wide variety of needs for racing.

Even Project Cars, The Crew, and Dirt had recent solid entries in the last decade that are still good today, and some obscure Saturday night local track style racing games like World of Outlaws, SRX, and various Tony Stewart dirt racing games have been released in the last 5-10 years.

There's also remakes like Burnout happening.

There's tons of racing games.

People who want to split hairs on the term racist give away their bigotry they're trying to defend. Theres a few in the comments. He's a bigited asshole of some form for sure. But when you expend so much energy nitpicking "aha, but not racist, specifically." Yeah, that also makes YOU an asshole too.

And what was he doing for decades PRIOR to that which possibly gave him the experience and skills........

The Rock, Jack Black, some woman Hollywood considers sexy, and Kevin Hart obnoxiously screaming as loud as possible "you gonna die of dysentery!!!!!"

Now, conversely, if you work in support, please ACTUALLY FUCKING LISTEN TO ME when I am telling you I've already done that 17 different ways, along with tons of other troubleshooting and isolating and I'm not a technical moron and I tried every possibility to avoid calling you so can we PLEASE SKIP THE USUAL BULLSHIT SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!?!

These answers reek of superiority complex. These are less "educating" others and more that so many of you have decided something specific is a big deal to you and in a proselytizing fashion you preach to others and when they don't give a shit or perhaps just dont have the emotional capacity to ALSO care about the thing you brought up, you take that as ignorance, when really it's just some people don't feel like caring that much about that specific concern you decided is uber important.

People aren't built to endless worry about every little horrible problem surrounding them and the world every fucking day.

Also, this whole forum feels like overreaction too. Just because "some" people didn't care for your input doesn't mean all didn't, but a lot of people overreact online. It's coupled with the usual "am I the only one who..." kind of crap. No. You aren't. You aren't the only genius who understands the world is shit and we're fucked.

You'll get a lot further when you realize hiring managers also are lost and most listings are bullshit. And I mean they probably don't even intend for it to be bullshit but that's what corporatizing everything results in. Apply to stuff you only mostly fit. Don't look for complete fit or ability to check every box. So many interviews and jobs wind up not being exactly as advertised. If you read it as literal, you'll ace out tons of potential jobs that might have been just fine for you.

I have also had some success through my career emphasizing (with actual stories) how I know how to learn from others and on my own. So it's okay that I don't know every little thing, and then point to my past examples of adapting to unknown or unclear situations where I had to learn on the job.

Also people are very impressed by factual stories. Numbers, or specific details, etc. that give them the impression you aren't lying. Tell about times when you actually did a thing. Not how you are able to, but give an example of a problem and how you overcame. Even from school projects, team projects, thesis work. Anything.

Ignore it all in the first place.

That's no reason to throw punctuation and basic readability out the fucking window.
