The new Celica, a 3 row compact FWD only CUV with an NA 1.2L I4 and CVT only that will be positioned between the C-HR and RAV4 in size.

Mazda could use the MPS name they used in Europe. For example, the Mazdaspeed 3 was called Mazda3 MPS in Europe

“MazdaSpeed” does sound a bit juvenile if they are pushing up market, but go with a more subdued MSE badging - Mazda Speed Engineering, or similar. Or how about “Rx” branding, it’s a throw back and because you need a prescription for the speed! Also means ‘recipe’ in Latin (hence the Rx on med bottles) so it’s a…

Just gonna clarify something because it comes up every time these things are mentioned. This specific ekranoplan is not the Caspian Sea Monster. The Caspian Sea Monster (officially the KM or Korabl Maket) was the first ekranoplan prototype and was absolutely enormous. It crashed in 1980 and now sits at the bottom of…

As an IT project manager, let me say to this:


Amen.

Here’s a crazy idea:

Let your developers work at a reasonable pace and set your release windows to actual, realistic time-lines in the first place and then you don’t have to push shit back a million times because your project managers can’t seem to figure out how time works. Tell marketing to shut the fuck up and not…

I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool environmentalist: at some point, we need to get people who don’t give a shit about the environment to also buy EVs. We need to get everyone (or at least most people) driving vehicles that aren’t powered by fossil fuels if we are to have a hope of preserving at least some of the Earth’s…

There isn’t a big difference at all. This is exactly where all this was heading. Did anyone truly believe Sony could scoop up big studios, and Microsoft would only react in kind? I mean, does anyone believe Sony scooped up big studios for the sake of the greater gaming ecosystem at large?

come again?

Most people will probably disagree with me, but I thought this was a pretty good event. Not blow the doors off amazing, but my expectations weren’t super high, and mostly were met. It is a bit disappointing that we didn’t get more footage, particularly of Everwild, Forza and Fable (though the latter was probably a…

My god, this was really, really close to the marketing equivalent of nostradamus....

Honestly i’ve always assumed Godzilla just adopts all these kids, neither Minya, Junior, Godzooky or his daughter (yes he apparently has one, she showed up in a Scooby Doo movie wearing a Tutu XD ) bare any resemblance to eachother or even Godzilla most times. I don’t remember but I think the 98 Godzilla was a…

This is great and all...but where in the hell is the Series X games showcase?!?

“Trump in particular is a dead man walking, will be out of office in January”

I’ll believe it in January.

If anybody truly wants him out of office, do not listen to the polls or pundits.  Go out and vote no matter what!

People who fought for the south are not veterans of the US army. They literally killed US soldiers.

To those without virtue, any act of empathy is written off as virtue signalling

I agree, though I think it’s less that they aren’t a hot item and more that they’re incredibly hard to make and pull off. If you’re gonna position yourself as a hobby game, you gotta come out swinging with a plan for rapid updates and something to satiate people who will fill up your message boards about “end game…

Ah, yes, a loot-based game. The Avengers are famous for their... gear.

I think it’s more that it’s kind of irresponsible in general to imply that entire races of people can be “evil,” or “bad,” because of their ancestry or genetics. I think there is absolutely still room to apply the sort of high level morality you’re talking about to factions or larger groups, but this becomes a bit…

This is interesting. It’s one of D&D’s last real structural holdouts from its Tolkien roots that some creatures are all just literally created evil.
