Most cars are completely mundane and indiscernible from each other. To me, all trucks look about the same. Most sedans look the same. Only a few cars, like 911s , Beetles, and G-Wagons are so iconic they are immediately identifiable. Even Ferrari's no longer stand out when the new Corvette...

Ouch, hit me right in the feels. Have we met before? :emoji_sweat_smile:

Maybe someday when you are no longer poor you can begin to understand the concept of angel investing.

I know this isn’t the right forum, but you may want to check out board gaming. It’s amazing how advanced it’s gotten, and I’ve had a great time playing board games with groups of friends, with dates and even by myself. It’s a great way to unplug from a screen.

I couldn’t name a single game produced from any of the developers mentioned in the past few posts, my guess is most of us couldn’t. So basically just start up and investor money flushed down the toilet, but to be fair, if you gave money to these companies expecting to generate a profit, you...

Land Rovers are shit cars that are used solely as status symbols by trophy wives who know nothing about cars or maintenance. At least in LA. So yeah, avoid like the plague and take any warranty available. Their systemic problems are legendary.

The only thing I remember using 2 screens was when The Division was first announced, and they had the interesting idea of someone using their laptop/ipad and controlling like a drone that could mark targets for their teammates. I think they even did a demo with it, someone was playing either a...

Well, not every business caters to the minority. Certainly none of mine. But I can definitely see your point, especially those companies that have a DEI division.

I would say something along the line of - companies are in the business of making money, government is in the habit of burning it. Everything you stated would not exist or be sparse if it wasn't for government rules and regulations.

On the one hand, you say it's good and it's probably actually a good game. On the other hand, Dave appears to be a fat slob surrounded by the usual diversity hires, not sure what that fatty in the pink shirt is suppose to be. I hope the game is first-person perspective, if it's third person...

Yea, but work is different from home. Lot's of businesses use multiple monitors. I'm guessing people shouldn't be gaming at work. Now, the question is, how many of those people also have two monitors at home, where they are likely to be gaming? Like everyone at your work has two+ monitors...

I think you are overestimating the number of people using two monitors. I did a quick search, there was a PC gamer survey that had it at 15%, then there was another Steam survey that had it at 25%. It must be even lower in general population, you figure the Steam survey would be biased towards...

It's amazing. I went down the rabbit hole. She went to Palos Verdes High School, which is a rich, white area in Los Angeles along with Palos Verdes Estates (even more tony), so she comes from white privilege. Went to USC in the 90s, so wasn't that bright, the school was known as University of...

Yeah, the car is definitely simpler engine-wise than the computer-driven monstrosities of today. My own issue is that my car is (almost) all original, matching serial numbers, etc., and it has provenance. So when a part needs to be replaced, I have to hope the part is available from stripped...

What you need to think about is maintenance, down the line. The F-type is a beautiful car, it's basically a poor man's Aston Martin, considering Ian Callum designed both. But with Jaguar ceasing production, and potentially going out of business, you are going to find it harder and harder to...

Who on God's green Earth would pay $150k+ for a new factory BMW? Don't get me wrong, one of the best sports cars that was ever made was the old M3 coupes, and the Z8s are definitely worth 6 figures....but if you are going to spend that kind of cash you can get a used exotic that will hold it's...

The most popular examples would be games like Terraforming Mars or Wingspan, if you've played either of those.

Not sure why you would just limit yourself to games made in countries where they speak English primarily, again I think you are just being pedantic. Especially in this day and age where most large games are a global effort, and multiple studios from multiple countries make a single game. In...

You clearly meant games produced by the Western world. If you did mean JUST England, then name me some great games that have come out of British gaming studios.

What? Is Belgium not white enough for you? When you say Anglosphere do you specifically mean English? Because England doesn’t make shit anymore. You guys are the banking system for Europe now.

Has this game ever been part of PlayStation's online service?

Ok. Sounded like you were talking about your boyfriends. Also, not sure how you're going to fit that in the garage next to your Pista.

You still talking about cars?

I’m pretty impressed you pulled your mask down long enough to type all that. As for why a studio would want to inflate the numbers…..Avatar is being produced by Disney, 20th century fox, and they are going all in. I forget how many avatar movies are being planned, but I think at least 2 or 3...

it’s because you are using the word conspiracy too liberally. I have no doubt people went to see the movie. But a little bit of logic suggests that the popularity of the movie is a bit incredulous, especially in a post-Covid world where people go to movies less and less. it goes along with...

As opposed to what? MSM telling me it's the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time? I never saw any of the Harry Potter movies in the theaters, but I know a lot of people who did. If I knew of people who saw new Avatar, then yes, I can imagine it being a big deal. I literally don't know...

Yeah, the new Avatar numbers are totally sus. I also don't know anyone who went to go see it. Not friends, not family, not friends with families.....no one. Also everyone I know that's seen it streamed has said it was ok, but nothing great. I haven't seen it myself yet. Now compare that to...

Unfortunately it's the slippery slope we are already on and sliding away. It will be interesting to see how things pan out in about 20 years. My guess is by then most physical media will be obsolete. I remember the excitement of lining up to buy the latest CD, or game....no one does that...

Haven't you heard? Natural gas is bad for the environment! Did they ban gas stoves in Canada yet like they are doing in new construction homes here in the US? Thank your elected officials. I mean, I'm don't know how much Canadians pay in taxes, but whatever it is it should at least be...

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.
