That's not the point. The point is when these Asian car companies started making cars they were shit, but the figured things out and then quality improved dramatically. They started making luxury cars, so Toyota comes up with Lexus, Nissan makes Infinity, Honda makes Acura etc. Same thing...

Oh, so you've seen this crumbling infrastructure in person? Or are you just parroting what you've read and seen from CNN and MSM? I go to China every year for business. I've been to Russia 5-6 times in my life. There is a reason all the propaganda you read is negative regarding these 2...

You know, they said the same thing about Japanese cars back in the 70s/80s. Then they improved to the point where companies like Lexus overtook the US in quality. Then when Korean cars came in the 90s, same thing, people said the quality was crap, lo and behold, years later Hyundai ends up...

Or dealership markups

Tesla is able to produce vanity cars like the Cybertruck and the Roadster 2 because they sell other profitable models. Pop quiz: Which model sold more cars last year? Tesla model S or Porche 911? I don't think you realize the amount of Teslas being sold, all models. Also, I'm willing to bet...

Wanted to also focus on this point. First off, the biggest "fuck you" by Elon wouldn't be to save Rivian or Lucid, it would be watching them burn to the ground. "See? You thought it was so easy to start a EV company, but you failed". Also, Tesla already has designs and manufacturing to build...

Again, the difference between Tesla and Lucid/Rivian is one of scale. All 3 companies have the advantage of being first to market, ahead of the legacy auto makers. Tesla was not profitable early on, true. Those early years of unprofitability were when they sold the original Roadster and...

This is an interesting take. I feel like the opposite. Once the major car makers get their act together and enter the EV market, I think Rivian and Lucid go the way of Fisker. I don't see why any other auto manufacturer would want to pay millions to take over a company that makes cars few...

$50 is a not a "micro transaction" for an expansion with probably 25% of the content of the main game. If they were going after the micro transaction people, they would release the expansion for free/cheap and load up their cash shop with a bunch of cosmetics and what/not. This is a cash grab...

I've played TMB at every player count. I think the sweet spot is 2. The worst is 4. Also makes the game too easy. I've enjoyed it at 3 and solo as well, but I think it's most balanced as a 2 player game.

Depends on where you are at. Here in California, I would guess it's more expensive than most places. I'm grandfathered in, so I pay nothing for charging, but my buddies say a charge is like $10-15 each time. Most charging stations are located along major highways or densely urban areas, so...

Well now he’s painted himself into a corner by threatening to sue. He has to now, which means dirt will be out in the open in court. But if he doesn’t sue, then it totally looks suspect and he probably did get buttfucked.

At this level of money, it's all about social ranking. The difference between $500 million and $250 million is essentially not getting into certain social circles or groups. You will literally be shunned. Like dropping from a billionaire to a multi-millionaire, you would think you are fine...

Again, this is only in the news because it's Will and Jada. You know nothing from his side. I already stated one win - he doesn't have to shell out millions to lawyers. We know nothing about Will's side. Another win is he might be fucking an army of Margot Robbie look-alikes without...

Not in his case though, cause his wife will let him do whatever he wants. It's not like he's super rich but if he's caught fooling around, his wife is going to leave him and take half. He's wife allegedly now doesn't give a shit. So why go through a divorce? Stay with her, live separately...

You have to make a new character to play seasonal content regardless of how long you have or have not been playing.

The notes say Duriel has a chance of dropping Uber Uniques, although it doesn't say what percentage or which ones (new vs old). Waiting on changes for itemization. A bunch of QoL improvements, but it doesn't change the fact that game from 70-100 is stale. I guess quicker levelling (40%) makes...

Here's the proper analogy for you: you hired a hooker for an hour, but you splooged in 30 seconds. Did you still get your money's worth? And it is a live service. I'm not here to say the game is in a good place currently, it's in a shitty place, and I really feel like no matter how much they...

One of my all time favorite series. That being said, season 1 and 2 were the highlights. Goes downhill from there. You can feel the woke agenda start seeping in towards the end. However, Cilian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Helen McCrory, and whoever plays Arthur are top notch actors. Hardy as Alfie...

It took them TWO MINUTES to kill that regular dungeon boss on TIER FUCKING 1. These are the people in charge of this game? Holy shit.

If you are referring to the Aspect of Serration, I can confirm it drops, I have gotten it a few times. I finally won the lotto and got my first Ring of Mendeln (at lvl 75), and of course it rolled the lowest lucky hit chance possible.

i play on PS5 couch-coop with gf. Also PS4 when at her place. No crashing on PS5 lately, however, when we do crash it's almost always inventory related, like we are buying/selling/salvaging at the same time at blacksmith with both windows open. Game will occasionally freeze then. Our...

Sounds like someone who just wants to be contrarian to get clicks and views. This is the age we live in unfortunately. Original DS was epic because there was nothing out there like it. It's like playing EQ MMO for the first time, it's mind-blowing. You can never put the genie back in the...

It was for home internet yeah.

Interesting because I'm almost the exact opposite. Granted, I have a blast playing with my gf because she's still excited about the littlest things in the game, every drop is still like a revelation to her since there's no data mining and she has no idea what the loot table looks like.....BUT...

So interesting situation for me. I recently signed up for Verizon Wireless, and as part of their promotion I got a free XBox Series S. I know, might not be the best system, but hey, it's free. I have never owned an XBox in my life, I have always had a Playstation. It's pretty good timing...

Interesting, never knew it was an XBOX/pc exclusive on release. It’s free this month for PS Plus. Review said game was made for a device like the Switch so I wonder if they ever ported it over to that platform.

It's always about risk/reward, time/reward. Like, if it's high risk, the reward better be good. If it takes a long time, the reward better be good. This is like ARPG 101, Intro to ARPG. Butcher is gay because you knock off his shield, do like 10%-20% damage to his health bar, then...

Yeah no joke. Also, I guess no one bothers proofreading at Blizzard. What about bosses level 61-79? Like how hard is it to make sure your graph covers all ranges?

Are wrathful (especially invokers) drops gated behind levels? I hit 66 last night and I still haven’t seen a single wrathful invoker drop. I’ve been in T4 since level 62. I have 3 wrathful hearts that dropped while leveling. How are you getting so many wrathfuls to drop? Also interesting...

Which is why I ended up buying out my latest Tesla X, instead of continuing to lease. It was the last model grandfathered in so I get free unlimited charging forever, as long as I own the vehicle. I wonder if Tesla will ever renege on this, or if I can expect to get free charging for...

Because we don't live in Soviet Russia. What company in their right mind is going to waste valuable resources making a shit box that makes them very little money, when they can turn out trucks and SUVs that net them a lot more? If there was a market for these type of cars, believe me, someone...

This will never happen. All the EV handwaving is just virtue signalling. Even IF the cheapest EVs start at something like $25k-$30k.....that is out of reach for most people. It's the people in their ivory towers that are completely out of touch with the common man that think everybody's gonna...

Will definitely try it out since it’s free. However, they aren’t the smartest businessmen releasing so much info this early. The game should be out in 2024, not entering beta. This gives someone like Blizzard to much lead time to adapt their game to be more competitive. For instance, how all...

Yeah.....I'm not sure what Phazael and his wife are dying to, but getting one-shot doesn't really happen before T4 unless I guess you are just super casual and not optimised at all, i.e. just throwing on random gear and going at it. Season 0 my sorc was getting one-shotted AFTER the latest...

This graph just shows how fucked gaming is going to be in the future. There is no reason companies will choose to deviate from their current strategies given how much money MOBILE gaming brings in. Holy shit. Who are these people? It's literally an untapped revenue stream because I don't...

It's unfortunate that the corporate big wigs run Blizzard now. It's pretty obvious when every single design element and change in D4 can be answered with "in order to make more money". Not enough coins in season pass to buy ANYTHING (lol). Every change in last patch to slow the game down...

MS owning Blizzard doesn't change anything. Are you old enough to remember the old Blizzard? The company that was famous for their "polish" on games? Their old mantra "we will release it when it's ready"? You can do those things when you are private company. When you get bought out by a...

Man, that Joe Shely has a very punchable face. It's like watching the kids that inherited Dad's company, have no clue what made it great or how to run it, and now are burning it to the ground. It's laughable they are shocked at how poorly received the latest patch was.....like have they NEVER...

I don’t know how anyone would want to play hardcore now. For the first time ever (on my SC character) I’m getting one shotted by those corpse bows like you mentioned. No warning - just me suddenly dead and trying to figure out what just happened, only to run back where I died to find a corpse...
