I turned car friction off in GTA 5. Help

A modding enthusiast in Los Santos has transformed Grand Theft Auto V by setting all NPC vehicles to have constant, unstoppable momentum and disabling friction, resulting in vehicles floating through the air. The modder revived an older modification, the anti-air truck, to create a whimsical spectacle. Initially, all vehicles were set to maximum speed, making the game unplayable, but after adjustments, a speed of 15 was implemented, allowing for chaotic yet navigable gameplay. Players can witness this airborne vehicle display from Franklin's balcony, although they may occasionally be unexpectedly hit by fast-moving vehicles.

I’m a decade-plus FromSoftware sicko, and these are my 5 takeaways from the first Duskbloods gameplay

Veteran Soulsborne YouTubers VaatiVidya and Oroboro have shared gameplay videos for The Duskbloods, an exclusive PvPvE title for the Switch 2. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the project lead, has discussed the game with IGN and Automaton. The design of Duskbloods resembles the level layouts of Nightreign, emphasizing verticality and exploration, contrasting with Elden Ring's landscapes. Visuals in Duskbloods evoke Bloodborne, featuring hooded ogres similar to Church Giants, a map reminiscent of Yharnam, a boss encounter in a cathedral, weapons akin to those in Elden Ring and Bloodborne, and thematic elements like a battle in a field of white flowers. The map's vertical density is compared to Shadow of the Erdtree and Nightreign. Concerns exist regarding FromSoftware's ability to maintain multiplayer balance and support, as well as the game's single-player content and potential PC release. The gaming community is eager for updates leading up to the network test.
