Absolutely agree. It’s an exceptionally solid 7/10 experience for fans of the genre, but even then not one I’d recommend without reservation. There are moments of greatness which are too often offset by baffling content and design choices. This isn’t unique to Starfield, of course, but even players who love the game…

I do like seeing the Dead Space remake being up for an award in the audio design category. The original was rightfully acclaimed in this regard, and the remake genuinely did take this baton and aggressively run with it. The refreshed audio (both the technology, as well as the experience as a player) is impeccable.

Investors are also, notoriously, big dumb dummy-heads.

Reminds me of EVGA (RIP) and their “clown lips” graphics card.

I love it.

I’m seeing just over 500lbs for the GVWR to curb weight difference on the CR-Z refresh, but that’s still hilariously small.

I have an oddly irrational dislike of that primer grey look. It’s somehow more bland looking than beige.

No.

I have a set of those on my 4Runner. They’re quite decent.

I got my Fiesta ST stuck several times on its stock Bridgestone RE050s.

The solution is to add more layers. We need a Supreme Chief Editor in Charge.

Many modern vehicles do log such data on integrated event data recorders. It’s essentially a rolling .CSV of specific values; doesn’t take much space at all.

Correct. Microsoft raised the price of Game Pass Ultimate from $14.99/mo to $16.99/mo in July. It has never been $30/month.

Parents had two of these when I was smallish (a ‘70 and then a ‘72, years later). I can’t not love ‘em. But I like them because of the way they look and the fond memories of trundling around rural roads, the too-hot vinyl seats and fiddling with the little triangle windows. I’ll never be a matching numbers guy, but…

Unironically, electrobillies.

I have zero issue with developers being able to offload filler content, allowing them to work on more substantive content instead. This can (and will) be a great tool for facilitating that.

GameFAQs was the real downfall of modern civilization! Children with their violence and their secret items and their warp whistles and Tanooki suits.

I still grab mostly physical console releases, but will jump on a digital edition if the price is good. I’ve found that the disc versions tend to be available on sale more often, and having the option to buy (and sell!) used is nice. Some games include actual manuals or other goodies, for those who like collectibles.…

Sony deserves massive credit for making storage expansion as easy as they do with the PS5. Slapping on another 1-2TB for $50-100 makes a lot of sense for users who like to have a lot of titles in rotation, or who may lack fast internet to make quickly reacquiring them an option. The Series X implementation is good for…

Obligatory Bobcat trials time:
