  • For the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:

    • Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
    • Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
    • Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
    • Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
    • Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
    • Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)

    Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.



  • Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Collection is a blast if you’re okay with a kart racer.

    Flatout 2 is the OG combat racer.

    If you’re looking for a true “racing sim” type game I would probably recommend one of the Assetto Corsa games, either the original or competizione.

    CarX Drift Racing Online is probably not what you expect, but is really fun. Not exactly a traditional “racing” game because you don’t compete for time, but rather compete for “drift points,” with longer/wider drifts getting more score. It has a surprisingly thorough singleplayer mode, and the multiplayer is relatively relaxed. Multiplayer is setup in an open-world style; you join a big lobby and can just drive around with friends or randoms without actually competing for anything, although people in each lobby can start competitions that everyone else can opt-in to. The main reason I’m recommending it is it has very thorough car customization and is a chill, non-competitive driving game, whether that be singleplayer or multiplayer.
