Good article. Despite Stallman's being an asshole, he was right about a great many things.

Oh wow, I played so many hours of that game as a kid. OpenTTD is a thing already so why not this!

I do enjoy the both of them, and they are more games missing from my chart, lol.

Ah, this is excellent! I really don't get why, and neither like, the feed on Lemmy pages is centered wasting so much screen space. For that alone I want to throw this onto my browser.

Yeah you've already got a good order. Those are basically all of the main UC Timeline Gundam works, in order of release, and they do get continuity of characters and themes.
There are also side-stories that you can watch at any point now that you already know of the One Year War, such as 08th MS Team, 0080:War In The Pocket and 0083 Stardust Memories. In general, I'd go to the Gundam wiki and just follow their listing there.

Also a lot of people recommend watching Unicorn Gundam after Char's Counterattack, but it isn't necessary for Hathaway's Flash.

Yes, I made that with my own favorite games. Like I said, I could still add more games that I couldn't fit in there. Test Drive Unlimited, Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2, Gran Turismo 2, Forza Horizon 4, Wipeout Pulse, Project CARS 2, Raceroom Racing Experience, Automobilista 2, NFSU2 and Most Wanted both, the other Burnout games... There's way too many good racing games in the past, and not enough in the present. I really like racing games.

Wow I took a look at Unsighted and it looks really nice. ZeroRanger has been on my list for quite a while too.

Ahhh friend, that is such a big question. I'm going to narrow down to just 2 games but I could literally sit here all day, fill out an entire chart of games and still not be done. I love racing games.
I'm going to say the best sim overall is Assetto Corsa, the original, because of it's insane modding community that can make it into any sort of driving experience that you want.
And for best arcade racing game.... I am inclined to say Burnout 3:Takedown from back in the PS2 days. The later sequels were also great, but this is the one that perfected the formula of extremely fast and aggressive driving, with blissful brake to drive and crashing physics. They just don't make games that drive as good as this one in the arcade subgenre anymore.

Actually, I AM going to post a chart too, because I remembered I already have it saved. My favorite racing games, and this is still missing at least Ridge Racer Type 4

Yeah I took a few Astronomy classes as electives in college. Astronomy is NOT easy or simple at all. Lots and lots of very complicated math and extrapolation from limited data happen there.

I've never finished the DS3 DLCs. Maybe I should give it another try this time, despite already having played the games for 300+ hours.

Still trying to figure that out. I think I can follow stuff from kbin here, and stuff from here over there, but I'm having trouble finding this particular post from lemm.ee and I'm not sure if it's just a thing that the servers need to work out between themselves yet. I'm sure all of them are currently overloaded with activity for now.

The Burnout, WipeOut and Ridge Racer series. All of those are perhaps the best arcade racers ever released on consoles, and they're all dead now. I've been playing the PS1 and PS2 games, and they all still hold up tremendously today.
