It always seemed like a kiddie game that’s not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously.

Why? Isn’t it pretty much random and unfair by design?

Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

    Why do people like video games?

      Ironically, the older you get, the better video games are for you, flexing your memory and hand-eye coordination.

      I don’t understand why it’s difficult to see the appeal. To me it’s just like watching TV, but you can participate.

      Edit: I was never big on racing games but boy I loved Excite Truck on Wii back in the day.
