My Summer Car - the Ultimate fuck-you-Datsun Simulator

[Turisas]

I want a bus, taxi or something. Driving to the shop is too dangerous.

There's the boat you can take straight to Peräjärvi across the lake, but apparently loading it up with peer is fucky atm.

Build your own 1 gear bike with rusty chain DLC. Of course you'll keep falling down in a ditch anyway.

Installing exhaust pipe is hard? Naaah...

That feeling when you get fined even when not speeding.

But the alcoholism of Finnish police during the 90s was appalling

Just look at this poor officer... what a disgrace

In a small village everyone knows each other. Here the nearby shopkeeper is making a home call.

I feel that there is something... uh... peculiar about the tastes of the player character...

... Somberlain, is that you?

Hmm. You know, that raises an interesting question: How *IS* Nazi Germany seen in Finland, anyway? They were allied during the war, fighting against the Soviet Union, and unlike Japan, we never stomped on them and tried to beat it out of them, not entirely successfully: Nazi imagery is far more common in Asia, where it never developed a horrible rep as the Nazis never did anything to them and all the things they did happened only to weird foreigners nobody really cares about.

Pretty much the same as everywhere else. At the end of the war, Germans burned down Lapland as they retreated, which definitely made them unpopular. Post-war everything end everyone related to Nazi Germany was shunned, even Finnish soldiers who fought in the war alongside the German troops. Finland is still relatively nationalistic, so putting up another nation's flags and symbols is generally seen as a traitorous action. In general if people do that, they are either dumb as bricks or then trolling.

Detachment Kuhlmey pretty much saved our independence, though. Or at least played a crucial role. I think you have to differentiate between SS and Wehrmacht/Luftwaffe.

BTW, almost 110k copies sold, according to Steamspy!

 

[toroid]

Welp, turns out fatigue can kill faster than I expected. Didn't sleep for about two days and got a taste of some permadeath. Fuck.
I guess I need to start memorizing the sizes of all the nuts and bolts so I can get back to where I left off more quickly.. I kinda wish they indicated their size when targeted.

 

[Neki]

I Don't know who made this game, but he\she\it is my new favorite person on the world.

 

[agris]

First, I'd like to thank the Codex for introducing me to this game.

Second, for the game items with Finnish text like the maps, newspapers, car parts magazines- when we play in English, do we see English text? If not, how do we know what car parts to mail order?

 

[Haba]

There is English translation for everything relevant, like the car inspection sheet etc. Mail order also comes with pictures, which should be mostly self-explanatory.

 

[imajia]

FFS, this game can be frustrating. Burnt 15h to assemble the car before it finally started. After a certain point I started to make backups of the save. Fuck permadeath.
Tested the car and it ran like shit and overheated quickly. Screw it, the inspector will probably not care.
On my way to the inspection, I was overtaken by another car which crashed into a truck on the other lane, bounced back and crashed into me. Dead.
Next try.
On my way to the inspection, another car drove on the wrong side and crashed into me. Dead.
Next try.
On my way to the inspection, I had to slow down to avoid overheating and the car behind me crashed into me. Dead.
Next try.
Drove to the garage and hoped that the mechanic repairs whatever is wrong with my car, which he didn't. So be it, I'll find the error myself. Instead of pressing the key to show the finger while in the car, I accidentally kicked out my windscreen. At least I made it to the inspection and naturally it failed due to the missing windscreen. At least I got the achievement "money well spent".

Then I tried to fix the oil leak which caused the overheating. Which means disassembling the bloody engine until I find the screw(s) which I missed before. And got totally lucky. There was another 7mm screw somewhere in the engine which I missed and by pure chance hovered over the ghostimage. And I didn't have to dissassemble anything. YES! That's probably the best feature, that you can access all the screws even when the engine is assembled.

 

[Haba]

Yeah, I certainly miss that feature when fixing cars in real life...

Oh you want to change the windshield wiper washer pump?
- Jack the car up
- Remove left front wheel
- Remove mudguard
- Realize that to remove the mudguard you'll have to remove engine shield as well since one screw is placed facing INSIDE
- Replace the pump itself, takes 30 seconds

Looks about right. Or, did these people changed country setting for full fledged LARPing?

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I must quit everything and play this game.

 

[Norfleet]

How can some countries have more players than owners? Don't pirated versions have to be de-steamed and thus invisible to this Steam spyware?

Owner ratios are based on "total owners" (151,032) and player ratios are based on "players in the last 2 weeks" (39,950).

I have seen recent images of people with beer bellies, german Stahlhelm and real Nazi flags as decoration (not the Finish thingy), so I think nothing has changed at all. They go to their Saunas swith a Suomi SMG and once you are drunk on Finnish vodka you could wear a SS uniform and raise the right arm and no one will give a shit. I think Finns are quite simple people, they only want to be left alone, can you remember anything ever coming out of Finnland except Nokia, Vodka, machine guns and hockey players?

 

[Norfleet]

The main thing I know about Finland is that they're some of the deadliest people on the planet and you should never invade there or they will fuck you up. Other than that, people there are extremely quiet and never bother anyone.

Uh... SSH, IRC and this little thing called Linux, to name a few.
