  • Might I suggest American Truck Simulator / Euro Truck Simulator 2. It doesn’t cover snow and ice but does do rain that causes loss of traction and maneuverability at speed, as well as delivery deadlines, drowsiness, traffic citations, road closures and events, basic damage and wear, managing air brakes and fuel, and of course handling the trucks and their different types of trailers (and the cargo of various shapes, sizes) in a ton of situations.

    I’ve put a few hundred hours into the two and if you can play with a friend it becomes a rather relaxed game for just talking and chilling out, but with a goal in mind. Can get chaotic sometimes, making mistakes like missing an exit or running short on time.

    And for ATS they are releasing two ‘road trip’ dlc soon, with 4 vehicles each from Dodge/RAM and Ford, so you can make money with your rig and then race your friends cannonball-style down route 66, or from Washington to Louisiana (current furthest southeast state available for dlc), Montana to Texas, or wherever else.

    All the imagined stress, all the silly shenanigans, none of the dread of wiping out an entire family in a minivan as you smash into it.

    (I quite like these games, if you can’t tell)











  • Well, I kind of know what happened in that scenario… because it did. Until Pay, there was Wallet. The original Wallet, not the current one. Wallet had a physical and virtual prepaid debit card, that you would load up and manage in the app. I used it a few times (new tech woo), and distinctively remember ordering at a McDonald’s, the clerk announced the cost, I held my Nexus 7 to the new nfc pad, they started to say ‘uhh no you have to-’ and then a success beep, and their jaw dropped. They thought it was nuts, I told them in a few years ‘this will be everywhere’.

    So before Pay, there was Wallet, and it’s own little sandbox of testing if anyone would use this. A couple years later the Wallet card discontinued, and Pay took its place.
