Stand above the riff-raff who walk the sidewalks

 

Shoutout to the YouTube channels for the 11foot8 bridge and the Needles Underpass!

The Needles Underpass is 2.4 m high and yet it sure does catch a lot of flies!

Tic Tac Together is team-based recursive tic-tac-toe. When both teams try to claim the same square at the same time, they have to fight for it by playing a subgame. Or a subsubgame. Et cetera. It's surprisingly strategic. How much board control should you give up to secure a contested square?

I've heard good things about Sunderfolk but haven't played it myself. It has hex-grid tactical combat with co-op done via smartphone, so only the buyer of the game needs to share their screen.

Which ones have you heard of?

I will back up Cassette Beasts for having a strategically interesting turn-based combat system.

If you've followed the news and history of this bridge, the city did actually try. They increased the clearance from the original 11 ft 8 in to 12 ft 4 in, but that's still a bit too low for large vehicles. There's limited room to expand since that bridge is a rail bridge and there are utilities under the ground.

Because of the weirdness drivers know they have to pay attention or else death and injury awaits.

That is one thing I admire about chaotic roads. I remember hearing the rule of crossing the street in Hanoi is to just look where you want to go and walk in a straight line at a constant speed, and expect traffic to work around you. Standardization and signage really just exists to make driving easier.

Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!

Like Pseudoregalia, it's another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

Stopping doesn't make the vehicle shorter! This is a common myth, especially among large oversize vehicle drivers in this area.

About a year ago, I heard someone mention that Outer Wilds had a VR mod. I do have a VR setup and am an experienced VR player, so I really could experience this game for the first time in VR.

Is that reasonable or should I play it the first time with flat graphics?

(Index btw)

 

Among all the niche, hyper-specific articles on Wikipedia, it's this one that surprises me that it exists.
