This is so dumb, but:

The new Forza Motorsport has a system where you have to drive a car for like 3 hours before you’re able to upgrade all of the parts on it. Regardless of how many credits you have.

So I’ve been using xCloud to “play” Forza with all of the driving assists on—accelerating, braking, shifting, all of it—just to level up cars to the point I unlock all of the upgrades to that car. (Offline, of course. Not gonna mess up someone else’s game because of Microsoft’s weird ideas on progression.)

So “AFK racing” has been running on my Deck more than any other game this week.

Wow, that sounds awful. Reminds me of shitty mobile games.

Yeah, I guess they were going for “engagement” or whatever metrics look good to the C suite pinheads.

But the actual racing with a properly upgraded and tuned car feels really good! So I enjoy the actual racing, and let the computer do the grinding for me lol

How are you running Xcloud? Are you running Windows?

My daughter told me I could do this. I might actually get a series S if it’s good.

Problem is, I have toddlers. I have not been able to use my tv in awhile. The Steam Deck has been a lifesaver.

If I touch the tv, just baaaarely touch it, they swarm me. “I want JJ!” says one, “NO DADDY, PINKFONG! No, monkey, yeah monkey.” The other cries, “No daddy, JJ. Pleeeeeaaaase?”

So I just don’t touch it haha.
