9001 car games

I don’t know guys, I just feel so lost and empty.
I don’t even know what to say. I’m 17, I got a lot going for me career wise. All in all I probably have a bright future ahead of me.
Last night I made a pretty big mistake. It’s not just the mistake that I made last night that has me feeling the way I do, but I think it was the catalyst. It doesn’t matter what happened, but it made me realize a lot.
Honestly I wish I wasn’t sober right now. I can’t drink because of my meds, and I wouldn’t be able to hide it. Drugs are off the table cause I got a drug test tomorrow. Idk what to do, I’m just stuck here with my thoughts. I’m wary about drugs anyways. I was prescribes oxys about a year ago and got pretty heavily addicted and went through some pretty bad withdrawals. My anxiety meds ran out and I can’t get any more for a while. All I have is a half full bottle of hydroxyzine.
I don’t know man, I feel like I’m spiraling. I’ve put on such a positive face around everyone that if I break that now I don’t know what would happen. I feel trapped in my own head. I’m not breaking down crying or anything, I just feel empty. I saw a picture this morning of a car completely totaled and wrapped around a tree. I knew something was really wrong with me when I had a back of my mind genuine thought wishing I was behind the wheel.
It’s like purgatory. I’m stuck in this limbo of not wanting to die, but feeling so empty alive. I’m not going to kill myself, I don’t want that. I just feel stuck. I’ve been in bed all day. I haven’t really eaten, or talked to anyone. All of my favorite movies and shows just feel boring now. Same with my favorite games.
I feel like I’ve been living a lie. I feel like nobody knows who I am. I basically wear a mask in front of everyone because I know they’ll be disappointed in me if I don’t. I’ve done so many things I’m not proud of but it’s all I know. It’s the life I live with the people I spend my time with. I’m afraid of what people would think of me if they found out about the late night drug deals and stealing alcohol from convenience stores. Even on the internet I can’t talk about everything.
I don’t even know what else to say. I just don’t feel like writing anymore.

Because those are some fun tracks in their respective games as the Beam sports playground mod superspeedway in Beamng is a lot of fun and Bricksdale from Brickrigs which isn't inherently a racing game its still a fun track to race on in that game even with its stiff car controls.

I struggle with this to no end. I have an advanced degree, a decent job, a house, and a family, but my dad seems to have had so much more life experience by age 40 than I do.
My dad knows how to work on cars and boat engines. He knows some electrical. He owned one of the first personal computers and knows about all the RAM, ROM and such. He does woodworking and has built entire beautiful pieces of furniture and beds we still use. He’s run marathons and used to bike 30 miles to work each way.
My brother in law is gen X, and is very similar.
I, on the other hand, like to sleep in every day. I watch YouTube, cruise Reddit, and play old video games. I feel like a waste.
Maybe they lived these lives out of necessity. Maybe I just have it too easy, and have paradoxical anxiety because of it.
Is this a generational thing, or is it just me?

I have this neighbor that knowingly and intentionally broke my truck down. I’ve had this neighbor for years and I typically thought that he was a pretty alright dude, when I moved in I had gone around and helped with odd jobs or offered pastries to the people around me because, yknow, I’m a normal human being who wants to be in the good graces of those who have access to your location. Anyways, years of what I can call friendship have apparently been thrown out the window when he had a chance to impress a lady friend of his. He’s on the older side, about 42, and has been divorced once, which is now starting to make sense to me. He asked me the other day if he could borrow my truck to pick up this girl he had met in town, and seeing as I’d known him for years, done yard work with him and watched Sunday games with him relatively often I thought there’d be no harm in it considering he told me he’d fill up my tank when he was done. Fast forward to yesterday, and I haven’t seen my only transportation for the better part of 24 hours, when I get a call telling me that my truck had been totaled. Obviously, I’m pretty dumbstruck on the spot, and all I could ask was where it was at and I was told the local landfill. I borrow a real friends little subaru to head on down and yeah, my shit was totaled. I loved that thing, bought it in my last year of high school after saving up for 2 years and had put aftermarket speakers, subs and a new dashboard in it. To me, priceless. To my insurance company, a huge hike in monthly payments. And to him, not even a sorry. I called him multiple times, no answers, so I showed up at his doorstep and he had the audacity to tell me to get the fuck off his property. The thing is, if I do anything to his car or house it’ll be pretty obvious who did it, but he just happened to buy a new rototiller and I wanna know how I can get into it at midnight and snip a cord or something so that he can’t use it and have to buy a new one. I have other plans but I know how to execute them, however I’m not very versed in rototiller mechanics. It’s one of those small push ones. Kinda looks like a push mower, at least in terms of scale.

Hi
I am looking for a good racing wheel with pedals for PC that can help me get more hours simulating a real car and will help me gain more time for driving with a manual stick shift.
Because for my brain with poor working memory I need to have as many hours driving as possible and I don't have a car at hand except for the one in driving school. Obviously in driving school i will buy extra hours to drive but i also need training at home.
Game i will be using is City Car Driving.
Which of these would you advise me to buy? I don't want too expensive but I don't want a low-quality set either wich would break after two weeks.

Thank you for all responses.

How long do we have? This is a self-explanatory, well, kinda, but I want to see what y’all think in terms of how long we have left.
So for context, my dad’s mom (97) is like-really old. She’s on hospice (not for any illness but so if she has to be hospitalized then she can receive the treatment she needs at home) and she is, in my opinion, doing wonderful. But something tells me that it’s going to be soon. And how soon, I’m not sure, which is why I am here.
When we got there this morning she told me her hands were cold, and when I checked, they were. Imagine stepping into a walk-in freezer, that’s how cold. She told it to my dad, and he said she wasn’t cold, only cool. We went shortly after to a family cookout that our relatives had, and on the road there she was amazing, she was energetic, you name it. When we left, however, she was very fatigued, and was passing out in the car. When we got to her apartment, she was really tired, and she kept talking about how she wanted to give me something that I had been interested by when we came over yesterday. Yesterday, she, my dad, and my dad’s sister, all played games (cards, board, etc) and it went on for hours and hours and they were fine. She told my dad about some stuff she wanted him to have, and I made friends with her cat (she’s 11).
When we left, we had taken her to her room and urged her to take a nap, since, when we asked her if she wanted to take a nap, she said “well, it wouldn’t hurt”(I was in the room when she was saying that) and as we were leaving, I just felt this sudden wave of DOOM or like DREAD. Mind you, we’re not close, as shes too far from us to even visit once a month (she lives next to Canada, we live next to Florida/on the beach). As we were leaving her house, it came to me again, and it was like - stronger this time. Like, almost as though this was the last time we were going to see her alive. When we got in the car, even my mom told me that this is probably the last time we’re going to see her, and that my dad’s going to be really emotional so don’t make jokes or make a fuss with him. (My dad has made several trips over the past decade to visit her, solo). I’m not sure what’s going on. Could this just be me being worried or is she actively dying (as in the sense that she’s like-less than a week if not a week left) and we only have so much time left? I haven’t noticed anything else, but I think her eyes have been getting more hollow or shallow. Could just be me though.

hi, i am 42 and i feel all i have in my life is my job and my parents of whom i live with.
i have no children or family or my own, and this failing has been eating away at me. tried to do something about it but nothing availed (career? string of dead end jobs. women? never reply or can ever get close to on a personal level). after my grandmum died a few weeks ago i really do begin to feel the clock ticking and this anxiety and worry, i dont know if thats a midlife crisis.
all i know, this is not just an episode of being 'down in the dumps'. its been something i feel its been growing inside me for years - not in my head, but feeling it from my gut. i'm starting to feel it interrupting my job. my get up and go has got up has gone. i just dont feel like working even though the rational part of me forces myself to just do it. i dont know if i have depression but lately i am in this state where i just dont feel like doing anything and i am just unhappy.
i used to be a gamer in my 30s as a hobby, but i havent even touched my ps5 for over 6 months. i've sold all my games. i just lost the will to play.
i have been seeing a counsellor for 11 years in trying to 'get help' (as everyone keeps saying) but i feel its done hardly anything for me. she has aspired me to do travelling to get out my comfort zone and meet people, which i have done. but thats it. even travelling is becoming meaningless now because i am constantly in this state of preoccupation. i know after a big holiday i'll never see those people again even if they add me on facebook or not (and when they don't, it hurts).
people say talk to friends and family. i have no real friends. never have. when i was a little boy in school, i was bullied. in secondary school i got focused on my studies thinking that eventually, a degree would unlock a life of fabulous riches. but i eventually learned the hard way with years of unemployment that it wasnt, back then. i tried reaching out to people, online via a facebook group, but it descended to insults and hurtful remarks that left me banned and made me punched the wall. my family doesnt know about my feelings, becaise from what i have seen, mental health is seen as taboo. they'll just admonish me, shout me down, tell me to get a grip. i cant really talk to them because they're going to deny theres a problem. and i dont want to break their hearts, especially my parents. i rather soak the pain than bring them in it. i love them too much to see them feel hurt for me.
social groups - when going out, if its not work or a family function, i largely have social anxiety. i so badly want to meet women and get a girlfriend, who hopefully becomes my wife and eventual mother to my kids and form my new family, but i just seem incapable of it. i just cant get close to a woman at that personal and intimate level. if i try, it results in failure and embarassment. at the rare times i did try, it just doesnt come out right. i once went to salsa dancing class in a big city nearby, trying to talk to women, but the anxiety was so overwhelming, i couldnt breathe, and thought i was going to have a heart attack, i had to get out of there. i never been back since. i dont even go to pubs. i think about women more and more - even women i wasnt attracted to at first, drives me crazy now. i remember when leaving a job to move to another, a lady colleague i worked alot with hugged me, and it felt unlike anything i felt before. it was amazing. the softness, the warmth, the care...its as if i was missing that my whole life. i was close to crying. i want to experience true closeness, and intimacy.
thats not to say i'm a virgin. i lost my virginity at 30 to an escort; that was a unsatisfying experience as even then i had anxiety and couldnt perform properly - i did it because i didnt wanted to be the '30 year old virgin'. i just cant seem to get close with women. i tend to obsess about them. my instagram feed is full of attractive women. seeing beautiful ones on tv, even if its just the weather girl or news reader, it drives me nuts. in my job, i work with journalists, and theres many women there. i can talk to them confidently and easily, IF ITS ABOUT WORK. the instances i tried to talk about life in trying to get to know them and get close to them, the barrier goes up. i can tell because they wont add me on fb or whatever. i just cant seem to hack it with women. no woman = no wife = no mother to my children = no family of my own = no legacy.
i appreciate some might say not having family should not mean one is a failure. however, as much as i tried to ignore it, i come from a culture whereby family trumps everything else - money, career, hobbies, everything. i been ignoring it for years. trying to chase a career, which ended up as a string of dead end temporary jobs. losing 15 years of my life to this, living from temp job to temp job, and going to over 200 job interviews in getting secure employment, enduring hundreds of devastating rejections. but, years later, i now have at least job security, which is most important, but am beginning to feel the limit of my pay. trying to chase a career, spending nights throughout the 2010s playing video games and enjoying my gaming career in that, playing adventure games...but now i have reached a point where i've 'run out' of games to play and nothing (except maybe gta6) will interest me in picking up a controller again. i've grown out of it, it seems. i even been travelling more too - i travel far, and so big holidays. from usa, to africa, to europe, to india, and soon to be going to australia... doing all sorts of holidays from cruises, ranch holidays, safari, hiking, group road trips, wildlife conservation volunteering, sailing the mediterrarian - grand, amazing experiences that does suspend my worries... but in the end, i keep coming back to them, this feeling of emptiness.
my big fear is seeing my parents get older and dying from a broken heart caused by me. my dad worked in construction but is retired and now freelances, and he tends to hurt himself in accidents as he gets clumsy. my mother works in a school. i have always lived with my family except during the years i was at university. i feel my mum and dad are my 'best friends' - sad as it sounds -and the thought of them both going to die somepoint in the future, fills me with dread. because i feel i have failed them, in not continuing the family line. failing to secure a legacy for us. to keep us all going, surviving through the next generation. when i think about it deeply, our bloodline has been passed down for thousands of years, surviving through all sorts such as wars, plagues, and revolutions. i feel compelled to continue it, as if its a duty, and i dont want my parents to die with their last thoughts being disappointment. i can see it in my dads eyes already, the sadness. he wants to play with his grandchildren, but he has none, and all his friends shows off their grandkids. similarly with me, i see people i went to school with, and ex-colleagues i used to work with...they all have kids and a house of their own and a car. i have none of that. i stand NO chance buying a house of my own as i simply can't afford it, and renting will be throwing my money away living on other peoples crap. i said to my parents i want to inherit this home when they go, because my memories are here. my history. our family memories. my happy childhood memories, growing up, the birthdays, playing with my brother, my parents, the fun times growing up, coming back from school, doing homework, watching football together on the TV in the 90s, our first pc, all of it. all of these amazing experiences back then, i love to go through again, but this time with my own kids, seeing them grow up, playing with toys, drawing, having a first pet, etc...to navigate life with them as a father, and teaching them what i believe is required to be a good person.
before you say it, i'm not just doing it for my parents. i want a family for myself. i feel if i failed to have children, failed to find someone who loves me, failed to have any friends, failed to have had any influence or imprint on the world nomatter how small - i actually feel i'm not part of this world. to quote ellie from the last of us, my life would not have 'fkn mattered'. its as if i am a 'watcher', if that makes sense, not part of the fabric of this world and civilisation. watching it all from a window. that'll lead me to questions like why i am i here, leading to a probable, and painful, full-on existential crisis. when its my parents' time, when they grow old and die, and if i'm left all alone, i dont think i'd want to live anymore. i'm praying to find something. of course, i know i have to DO something, but my mind draws a blank. i cant ignore what my body is telling me anymore. but then, i step outside the house, and i dont know what to do, socially. when i approach someone, i get anxiety attacks. in my town, people are aggressive - its also possible if i approach a woman here i might end up getting assaulted, shouted at or shamed. sometimes theres no place to really go as i live in a small town. and as you get older, its harder to make friends, as people already have their established circles. i even remember my ex-manager talking to colleagues about this when we had a drink once and she asked 'how do you meet people' even though shes in her 50s and has established family and friends - indeed. how, for those who do not.
for coping, some people elsewhere suggested exercising. this is something i tend to do, but perhaps not enough of. i like to go on walks. theres a public park where i go and feed the ducks. seeing animals makes me happy. when the baby ducks swim to me wanting the kibble food it makes me feel wanted. i love animals. from dogs, cats and ducks - to even wild animals like the tigers i saw in india. i also did some hiking holidays, including going through some american national parks like yosemite, where i saw a family of bears at a distance. travelling is something i like to do too - in fact, i have more 'big' holidays coming up in usa again (alaska this summer), then australia, europe (croatia), the canadian rockies and maybe south america. i do these trips to get that out-of-body, 'blown away' feeling, of being thrilled, alive, and enjoying and experiencing life. it does help. but travelling is expensive. i'm not made of money.
all i want, is my own family..

I've tried deleting the steam library and clearing download cache it didn't work. I also tried to make it so the folder isn't read only. But when I untick the read only for the folder, the next time I open the properties it shows read only is ticked again.

I have a (recently turned) 9 year old who is a …. strong personality to say the least. She throws tantrums like a toddler when she is told no or doesn’t get her way, or told to do something she doesn’t want to do. We are not pushovers and don’t give in to her when she acts like this, so I thought she’d grow out of it by now, and she hasn’t. We have 3 younger kids, one is a baby, but the other two are well past their toddler tantrum days. The 9 year old is the oldest and is setting a bad example for the younger, and constantly ruining experiences for the rest of us with this ridiculous behavior. If she doesn’t want to go somewhere, she will just refuse to go. Refuse to cooperate with any directions, or even get in the car. No amount of negotiating or punishing works.
One example, we were at a sibling’s sporting event last night and the weather was hot. She didn’t want to be there and laid on the ground kicking my chair, whining and crying about how miserable she was, and asking to go home over and over. She was offered several solutions, none of which were acceptable to her, because the only solution she wanted was to leave. I explained to her that we were there to support her sibling and were not leaving until it was over, no matter how she behaved. I finally just ignored her because she wasn’t budging. She then kicked my chair and whined until the game was over. I get she was hot and uncomfortable (we all were) but it’s like this with everything. She didn’t want to take a shower tonight and it was the same thing. She is unwilling to compromise ever.
There were even some of her classmates at this game and picturing any one of them doing what she was doing made me realize how ridiculous her behavior has become. I’m afraid it’s going to start affecting her socially when her classmates see her act like this, but the problem is she does not give a single hoot what anyone else thinks of her. A personality trait that I’m sure will serve her well one day, but is so frustrating to parent. I’m trying to be an attentive, involved, loving parent and I don’t think I’m doing a terrible job with the other kids, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong here, or how to navigate this, because it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Any advice or parenting resource suggestions?

Hey there! I am a 23 year old guy, and im looking for my special someone.
I am 190cm(6'3) tall, I have short black hair, hazel eyes. My hobbies are driving, working on my car, going to the gym, play video games, listen to music and watch YouTube videos, and also play with my dog too :D I go to university to be an IT Engineer and also work part time aswell.
I am a very cuddly person, very loyal, honest, and I like giving all of my attention to the person who's important for me. If we'd get closer, I'd love to spend all my freetime with you and chat/voice call a lot, and hopefully develop a long lasting relationship, and hopefully it'll turn to irl in the future.
I'm looking for a girl who's also cuddly, clingy, kind, sweet, and who'd also be a good Passenger Princess 😋
If you'd be interested in chatting and getting to know each other, send me a message :)

Hey everyone! This game has been stuck in my head recently. I remember playing it on our family computer (it was a cd rom game) in the early 2000s but it could’ve been from the late 90s. It was definitely stylized, but not cartoonish. You essentially build cars and vehicles in a garage. Not much else. I don’t remember any characters or plot. The car building was sort of modular, picking different components and putting them together. I’m pretty sure when combining the parts you would either weld or use a rivet gun, which would follow the path of your mouse. I know this isn’t a lot to go off of but any help would be appreciated!
