His point wasn’t that Valve has more money, but more that Valve has ENOUGH money that they wouldn’t hesitate to actually litigate it, and would likely win because it’s been ruled over and over and over that emulation is 100% legal, assuming that there’s no proprietary BIOS and it was a cleanroom reverse engineering.…

I knew a guy with #4. He was a good guy from all I could tell, but would randomly say the N-word when he was having tics. He wasn’t even trying to be funny or edgy, because he’d be all by himself alone and it would happen. If he was doing it on purpose it was a hell of an act. He was also extremely embarrassed and…

The thing is that when that show premiered, it was 1998. So 22 years after the time the show depicts (1976). It’s now 2023, so if it’s 1994 in the show, it’s even FURTHER back than that. You’re likely thrown off by the fact that you lived through the 90's, and not the 70's and still feel, like a lot of people, that…

The problem is that A) this is usually younger people and B) the event itself was always well organized and fun and safe. It’s that you bring in 3000 people to a beach town (and Wildwood has a reputation for being a party town) and it’s all the ancillary shenanigans that get out of hand. It’s hard for the event…

This exactly. Once the VW show got too big, and everyone else started showing up and acting like assholes. Not that the VW guys weren’t joining in the mayhem because they certainly did, but it didn’t start out that way. Too many people trying to swing big dicks and ‘impress’ everyone.

I also don’t know why I can’t edit my post, but here we are. Addressing a few other threads, but the ‘too old for this shit’ doesn’t mean you sanctioned it when you were young. Back when I was young and we first started going, it was like, 100-200 cars. Most people knew everyone else, everyone had fun and it was…

Is H2Oi no longer a VAG only show? I used to go every year when it was in Ocean City MD before they got kicked out of there. The problem there was that there was always a Corvette show at the same time, and the Vette guys were just as rowdy and raucous, but being in a $60K Vette and 50+ years old meant the cops barely…

The real question is... how long will they STAY great when growing so quickly? So many places start out great and then once they get enough franchisees, they start to take a nosedive quickly. Quiznos and Five Guys for example.

I always get mine dry, and everyone is always like ‘Are you SURE you don’t want ANYTHING on there? Just meat, veggies and cheese?’ ... that’s what I said, isn’t it?

Yeah Markiplier’s been at this game for a long long time, too. I think there’s a few people, like Pewdiepie, MrBeast, Markiplier, etc that no matter what would be fine because they made SO much money it would be impossible to spend it all, but I see others that get JUST enough to be ‘rich’ but think it’s never ending…

Right, but the amount of people outside of SeaTac and Spokane... negligible.

I never understood how these overnight millionaires just keep on spending. Like, if I was making millions on YouTube or Twitch, I’d be saving 75% of it because the bottom could fall out of that shit at any time. I see YouTubers that just keep spending and spending and spending. All it takes is a recession where ad…

So much this. If they didn’t test their stuff over the past 6 months that the iOS16 dev betas were seeded, who’s fault is this really? Apple’s pretty clear on the changes made to the OS usually, so this shouldn’t have surprised the developer. “But it was fine the past two times!” shouldn’t be an excuse to not test it…

I think the CoD people are worse than Halo people.

Tokyo Street Racing was good! 

Scientifically speaking, he’s not wrong. Societally wrong? Yes. But the ultimate question is, even if you’re technically right on the subject why would you say that?

Remains to be seen whether or not it will be the .... bZ nZ.

I’ve found the best way to buy a car from a dealership is to let my wife deal with the negotiating process. She is particularly savage. She emailed 6 dealerships when we bought a Honda Insight in 2013 with what we wanted and essentially wrote them an RFP, and made sure to re-CC them all everytime one would respond…

Even the music is EXTREMELY similar.

You realize he’s being sarcastic, right? Notice that ‘left wing’ is in quotes?
