    Car ?'s

    You can partially blame cafe standards in safety. When you try to eek out every ounce from the car to meet them, well, engineering can only go so far in safety and physics wins out in the end. Plus those stats are not just all about car safety but the drivers influence those stats too.

    Prob its a smaller CGI studio that does quality shit. Im sure SW movies are made by some lucasfilm bullshit CGI which is probably all politics and no talent anymore and they are stuck with them.

    No because youre buying... fucking cards to collect. Just like youre buying comics or whatever the fuck you collect . If you buy 2022 card decks you have no fucking clue what will be of worth in 10-20 yrs, they are all essentially worthless. Plus there isnt some magical "rare" or "super...

    LOL why do you pick 2002 as some arbitrary year to compare to? Also in 2002 I had my first kid, a house, wife and career. Def not 15, lol. Hell I remeber playing the first DOOM on my Unix station at work, I think I was 20? In regards to RPG yeah there have been a few great games in the last...

    They might be gone from consoles and PC FOR NOW. But still Mobile is 1/2 the revenue of combined gaming and is plagued with loot boxes, eggs, diamonds, or whatever the fuck you want to call them.

    Its all related dumbass. This is why we have Microsoft controlling 50% or more of the games you will play in the future. Its all due to non regulating the shit and anti trust. Its why google is the way it is now controlling what you watch and search for for 90% of the internet, basically...

    Rather simplistic way to look at capitalism and justy let it do its thing without some government regulations lol. Enjoy your googgles, microsofts and the now what? 4 major game companies running like 60-70% of all AAA games produced (microsoft being one of them)?

    I dont hate capitalism, lol. Its just that when capitalism runs unregulated you get your googles, twitters, bell telecoms of the 80s etc... Pretty much monopolizing the industries. You cannot have capitalism without rules and regulations. Because if ran unfettered its possible you would get one...

    Well my kids were brought up in the dark ages of not letting them have phones until they were older, early 2000s so I never had to deal with this shit. But you dont need to allow kids to have access to credit cards and other methods. Usually it happens to younger kids when you give them your...

    Seems like this whole season is a bit overtuned. The seasonal activity is fucking frustrating. I mean its not hard its just that everyone dies like 10 times during boss phase. They throw too many overtuned mobs at you at once. Last season was cool. the 6 man was fun and the 3 man was fun as...

    I dont even mind the cosmetics thing if there is an actual game there to play. But im not talking about cosmetics here, as in the point of mobile games (but this is also slowly infiltrating consoles and PC). They literally are designed to stop you in your tracks from progressing unless you...

    Exactly. Make a good fucking game and people WILL pay for it to play it, simple as that. Somehow this industry got off its rails, probably when they discovered they can pilfer millions of dollars from suckers with just a interface to sell chances at pixels and nothing more. So now its not about...

    Said by someone with no kids. It literally takes 30 minurtes for you kid getting a hold of your phone and raking that $5000 up no problem. Its not about kid control, its about predatory game companies with thinly veiled non regulated casinos that dont even have to pay anything out, just collect.

    Nahh you see, misty, like 90% of the mobile market are not games at all, they are thinly disguised skinner boxes, that is all. You make a good game and people will buy it and play it. There are tons of examples of one dude making a game that becomes a phenomenon of its own. See tetris, (pre cell...

    There cannot be digital items in games with real world value if its not regulated in some way. What is to stop the devs making copies of the said items and selling them on the black market for an example? Like was happening in EQ and its emulated cousins? What sets the value of those goods?

    How bout we just go back to the way it was for decades before. You pay once for a video game. If you have content coming out on a regular basis, charge a monthly or bi monthly fee. Or just charge a fee for the damn content you are adding. There is no need for loot boxes, or predatory BS gambling...

    There is a difference between regulating video game content and the way video games are SOLD and MONETIZED. Now im sure govt would jump at the chance to regulate itself some content, but thats not what were asking about here misty. They do need to do something about the predatory BS going on in...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    The 3080 ti was another laughable card. $400 more than a 3080 for like 5%-8% performance. The only reason they ever sold was the lack of 3080s. this is why nvidia needs to take a hit on this shit, quit buying their overpriced gouged cards.
