Yeah, second that. Started reading the manga now, though not very far in, looks like the anime was scene for scene almost identical, at least at first.

The Movie Redline.
It basically killed a Studio, but it is pretty good watching.
A completely over the top sci fi racing anime MOVIE not series.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

I was strongly considering doing a Let's Play thread of the Star Trek Lower Decks Warp Your Own Way CYOA comic, but it's not really a game, just explorable interactive fiction. It is, however, super good. Like the show, the references to previous material can be a bit thick on the ground, but if you can manage that it's a really solid thinky Trek story that effectively blends comedy, mystery, horror, and heroism.

Re-reading Catch-22
The chaplain had mastered, in a moment of divine intuition, the handy technique of protective rationalization, and he was exhilarated by his discovery. It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.
