Peter Boyle in Red Heat.

“Stress management! You watch the fishes, you water the plants, special breathing exercises, monitoring your blood pressure, listen to pleasant sounds (deep breath) relax!

Personally I think it may all be a pile of shit! But when you’re facing a bypass, you stop asking questions!”

Two very different films, but:

  • The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

  • The Mist

When people put an “a” before something unique, they do it in football a lot.

For example, “What you need is a Bellingham, or a Fernandes in there”, rather than saying “a player like Bellingham” or “someone like Fernandes”.

This looks like some sort of alternate reality Apocalypse Now

Because they’re not allowed to test them properly anymore. In the past they would have already done practice laps with the new parts.

Now, you have a set amount of wind tunnel time and computer modelling. The first time the part actually hits the track is the first practice session of the Grand Prix meeting you bring it to. Sometimes the testing data doesn’t correlate with the real world, ultimately they’re models and they’re not perfect, and even a small discrepancy is the difference between the part working as intended or not.

Rob Smedley did a little article on CFD/real world correlation a while back:

It would be nice to build the relationship with your horse more, pet it, feed it, maybe a bonding system like Red Dead Redemption 2. Could even have some fun little missions to do that are specifically to do with the horse.

  • Starfield has exactly this

  • Subnautica as you get later into the game

  • Space Haven (sort of similar to FTL)

  • Rodina

I can understand McLaren’s annoyance - the penalty he got had no effect on him and he actually extended his lead over Norris by taking him out of the race.

Having said that I think reactions in these situations are always a bit over the top, amongst the fans particularly. Max is sometimes too aggressive when he’s racing, and has form on moving in the braking zone. But to be fair I don’t believe he intentionally drove into Norris. He tried to squeeze him and misjudged it.

What’s more concerning to me is the way Red Bull very publicly and immediately start criticising the other driver, as they did with Lewis in 2021, like they’re immediately trying to get their “narrative” out there when, in fact, it should be them reigning Max in a bit for his own good in situations like this.

No worries, enjoy! It’s allowed me to relive my childhood a bit, so many great games!

The best one in my humble opinion.

Perfect Dark is arguably the best game on the system, I implore you to play it!

I haven’t played Tony Hawks on the N64, although I did enjoy it on the PlayStation, or NBA Hangtime (I’ve never been into basketball, I’m on the UK so it’s not as popular here).

From a sports perspective, International Superstar Soccer 64 was the one for me.
