Arthur Morgan is one of the greatest video game (and fictional) characters of all time. I had my doubts about the game when I heard it was a prequel and that John Marston wouldn't be the main character, but I was wrong.
You really should finish it. I've watched my younger son complete it twice too. You haven't even seen the best scenes in the game.

Ahhhh. You bringing it up makes me want to start another playthrough. I've never finished it. Never even got to
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

Mafia: The Definitive Edition is getting a free PS5/Xbox Series X/S update today. I've been holding off on replaying this game in the hopes of a 60fps update and the wait has finally paid off. Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Arkham series are last games I'm waiting on 60fps updates for.

I chose other because I'm between somewhat and hunter. I'm pretty much only playing on Steam for several months since I cancelled gamepass. I like it when I see I've gotten an achievement and there are games I play where there are literally over 100 of them to get. I don't get really invested in them unless I'm close to completion, or maybe even over halfway. I think I've 100% only one game ever and I can't remember what it was right now. It seems like the closer I get to completion the more I care to see if I can wrap it up, but the last few always seem to be some really obscure thing that is not really about the game. Some are downright silly.

Just wondering where everyone stands on Achievements/Trophies. Personally, I don't care about them at all and don't understand the people who play games for the Achievements/Trophies only.

My last race was at Talladega where I was up and down in the top 10 for the entire race. Bump drafting is a necessity on the super speedways as the lead changed at least 30 times during the race. I got a little help on the last lap to take the lead and had to fight off the CPU to hold it around the last bend and across the finish line. What a thrilling race. I'm loving this game.

Haven't played NASCAR 25 for a couple of months but when I left it, I was perhaps 70% of the way through my first ARCA season in career mode. My equipment isn't great, my driving isn't always much better and a finish in the top 20 is generally A Good Day. It's about the most fun I think I've ever had while competing for the honour of being the most average driver on track, because it all feels like a proper race.
Situations evolve, some people come on strong at the end of a stint while others drive the tyres off it early on, and you can tell that's what they're doing so you let them go, wait for them to come back to you, pick them off as they arrive on your front bumper. I'd like better force feedback, particularly under braking on road courses - often it sounds like you've locked a brake but you haven't, and a bit of rumble there would go a long way to conveying what's actually happening - but it's a minor quibble in an otherwise brilliant racer.
I'm on default setups too. I might sometimes use the basic setup bar to make the car tighter or looser, and that's all. There's nothing you can gain from changing a setup until you're near the limit of what your existing one can do, and I know I'm not.
GPL is a slightly different case, mind, because when it shipped way back in 1998, it did so with some fairly ordinary default setups, and some that weren't as good as that. It doesn't change the core principle - get as good as you can with the default first - but there's more to be gained from setups there than in most sims. I don't tweak, but I do use the tweaks of others: the Big Al setups for the default cars suit me perfectly.

NASCAR 25 is a prime example of that particular breed. Twitter, or X or whatever, is permanently lit up with people too busy complaining about what the game doesn't do to acknowledge what it does. Absolutely none of what they whine about has any connection to the core driving and racing, which is both very good and the entire bloody point of the game. Outrage generates revenue, I guess, just as it destroys nuance.
I have not played Full Stride, so this is the limit of my contribution for now, but as someone who periodically finds himself whistling the paddock and pre-race music from G1 Jockey, perhaps I should.
