The characters are kinda hot you say sign me the heck up!!

[Eschar]

Nothing? Plenty of racing games have some degree of story or plot, iirc there's even a few that's pretty involved. It's not super common or emphasized just due to the games tending to focus on the zoomy bits instead of fluffwork, but it's out there.

... anyway, there's been several racing games over the years with RPG mechanics, as well as various vehicle-themed RPGs, so no, nothing's preventing there from being a racing RPG.

(that's what I'm getting at, yeah)

So, as a caveat I am rather drunk. And it is 3.15 am.

Yea. General relation stuff. I'll deal.with it somehow

Do what Charlemagne would do.

[TD1]

Drive her before me until either she converts or meets the True Maker in the afterlife?
(Edit: or treat her like he did his daughters??)

In fairness, she is German.

The issue was 1) substantial age gap, 2) she's leaving for home in like 3 weeks.

And I guess 3) I was oblivious until she sprung it on drunk-me last night.

[TD1]

As an update to the above, I said these things while addending that, while I liked her, I wasn't interested in a short-term or long-distance relationship atm.

I was fine with this at the time, but am now feeling increasingly melancholic.

Emotions suck.

[hector13]

Emotions are silly sometimes. Just gotta push through it if you think you made the right decision.

Distract yourself with something pleasant.

[Il Palazzo]

I want to know what the Fresh Prince of Brit Isles considers a 'substantial age gap'. Was it a Harold and Maude situation?

[Great Order]

Out of simple curiosity:

What's everyone's favourite architectural style?

[Frumple]

Dry.

... more seriously, I don't think I have one? Can't recall many times any particular building style's really stood out as particularly attractive. Closest would be probably be stuff that's heavily greened, but... nothing really stands out. Do lean pretty heavily away from light/airy glass heavy messes, though. I don't like the skyball of hate, so less of that getting in a building or reflecting pain into your eyes is good.

Well, so far as considering things from an aesthetic perspective goes. From a practical perspective, probably domes. Monolith, geodesic, whatever. There's not much that withstands heavy winds better, and when you live in hurricane territory most other considerations come a distant second, heh. Gimme something that can tank trees falling on it and 120 mph winds and we're good, I don't give a damn what it looks like.

Out of simple curiosity, where that would be?

[Il Palazzo]

Brutalism for the win. Gorrillion folded reinforced concrete slabs arranged in domicile-adjacent shapes make mother nature cry and Fuhrer proud.
That said, I like looking at these, with a 'fuck that's ugly' general vibe going through my head. I wouldn't want to live in one.

[Frumple]

Florida, ha. All the other categories are a thing, but it only takes one cat 4 or 5 (and I've been through both at this point, bloody michael) hurricane going over your house to gain a significant appreciation for housing what won't decide to go visit the neighbors quite so easily.

... though in fairness 120 mph winds is only cat 3-ish, which generally isn't that bad. Still don't want to be in its way but it's not go-screw-yourself 4 or 5.

[King Zultan]

Out of simple curiosity:

Art Deco!

Hah. We're talking single digits.
