Dude I distinctly remember the day I logged back on after a few months away to find entire planets just removed. Literally played for 5 minutes until I got mad and haven’t been back since.

We had the opposite happen at my work a little while ago lol. New person came in and saw that I carry a 1.9l water bottle everywhere with me and they started laughing asking why when there’s water and cups in the kitchen. Cue a week of various coworkers having to prove to this person that basically everyone in the office has a water bottle of their own that they regularly use at work. Still didn’t understand at the end and they also didn’t last long, oh well.

It’s got a pretty good damage model (which can be turned off entirely for single player content) but the crash physics aren’t as rich. With full damage on you definitely have to be careful to avoid wrecking your car, but you won’t get full body warping damage.

I’ve had a blast with the Horizon games from the first entry, and many of the Motorsport entries as well. Horizon strikes a great balance of arcade mechanics and style with tight, grounded physics and a pretty deep upgrade and tuning system. I basically only ever play solo, no multiplayer matches or anything, usually I’ll throw on a podcast or an audiobook, explore the map and do some races to make money, build a new car and repeat.

My entirely unqualified thought is that it gives the food stain particles something to bind to that isn’t the plastic of the container
