Seven Engineers Suspended After $2.3M Bridge Includes 90-Degree Turn

Personal anecdote: As a child I played a lot of Sim City. In those games bridges must be perfectly straight and as a result I developed a mental model that curved bridges simply don't exist. When I first drove over a gently curved bridge in my late 20's I felt a serious disturbance to an irrelevant worldview that I never questioned.

I first got hold of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas early in the summer holidays during my school years, which meant I was able to play nearly-uninterrupted (save for pesky things like sleep and food) for several days straight.

When I finally surfaced, and Mum drove me into town for something or other, I felt visceral panic that she was driving on the "wrong" side of the road.

You must be in a left hand drive country?

Based on the use of "Mum", very probably.

I wonder if you could simulate driving on the left by 1) flipping the entire screen left-to-right, 2) flipping the controls left-to-right, and 3) getting really good at reading mirrored writing.

Coming from the same area, I didn’t even think that it might look odd to folks in other parts of the world …

Shame only the first installment of the series had an expansion pack set in London.

If you know how to mirror a display in Windows 11 I can try it in my sim rig and see if it works. I actually thought about doing that the other day for some reason, I think it would work.

It would be a super hacky way to just test, but you can do that with OBS set to capture the game output and then displaying the OBS capture. There's probably multiple other ways, but that would be a quick and easy way to test if you already have OBS installed

See I'm familiar with California and their "flying" interchanges which are often banked pretty substantially - having to walk along one once was an eye opener, they're really banked!

On a somewhat related note: the Game Cube and Wii editions of Zelda: Twilight Princess are mirror images of each other. If you're playing on a Game Cube, Link is left-handed, but he's right-handed on a Wii.

Or just buy a truck simulator on steam and experience it without hacks ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
