I've been thinking about the PS1 game 'Driver' a lot recently. It's a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I'm sure it doesn't hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my 'gaming youth'.

As much as I know I enjoyed it however, I don't remember all that much about it. Aside from pulling the perfect reverse hand-break-turn in order to leave the garage/lockup area and begin the game proper. I didn't need to pull this manoeuvre of course, I could just, you know...drive out, but something felt so incredibly satisfying about it that I couldn't stop myself.

Which brings me to this point of this thread. What's something you do in a game for no reason other than it feels damn good?

I spent an inordinate amount of time driving a forklift around in Shenmue, moving crates.

going from reverse into forward with a 180 turn in stuntman ignition felt so fucking good to pull off

In CSGO I constantly switching guns andbinspecting my weapons. The animations and sounds are really satisfying to me

In Minecraft flying around in the Elytra feels really nice. I wish there was some sort of time trials minigame for the Elytras

I never got through the first mission, sadly. It seems like there is never enough time.

By the time I started playing Forza Horizon 5, I had already completed a vast majority of the content in FH4. Once I started FH5 I found myself doing a lot less missions/races and instead just hopping in a pretty sounding or nicely handling or gorgeous looking car and seeing if I can drift some corner or launch myself off a ramp and land on a piece of road.

It just feels good.
