Sadly, the app is shit. They still rely on batteries instead of rechargeable packs (at that price point, a strict no-no), their motors have become less powerful than the chinese clones etc...
Plus, you want to get your kid into Legos to get it AWAY from the smartphone.
Just a dumb move from Lego all-around.

In these…

Most shader mods that really do something run on the old Java engine. And even running just in Full-HD, they can bring my machine to a crawl easily, if you up the details a bit.
Performance-wise, the bedrock edition is a godsend, but it is more closed up than the old Java one, and therefore harder to mod.
Not to say…

How about passing a law like in Germany that you HAVE to drive in the rightmost lane unless you are overtaking someone? Even on a three or four lane Autobahn, if there is no car for you to overtake during the next 20 seconds or so, you HAVE to move right by law. And you may only pass cars on the left side, never on…

yes, they have to have speakers on the outside for that exact reason. All electric cars sold now have to have this in Germany, even those who didn’t before (Tesla, Renault Zoe, eGolf etc...)
Germans in their 40s will suddenly realise a market niche and shudder when they remember the dreaded “Jamba Sparabo” for…

Right? It sounds like it came out of Tron. Reason enough for me to buy this car.
(note: That is a mandatory sound at lower speeds that electric cars have to make now in Germany, to alert pedestrians to their presence. However, no manufacturer nailed it as well as Porsche in my opinion)

Just look at this video:

Interesting take on “The Avengers”. I can understand not liking it if you were too focused on the old series. But I thought the actors were great in their roles, I took it as a lengthened TV episode and was pleasantly surprised.
The style especially is just great, from the opening credits to the composure Steed always…

So they fixed the loophole for valved exhausts. Those were illegal to be retrofitted for some time, but factory options were still allowed. Since noise testing took place when standing still, as well when moving at city pace, all manufacturers modified their system to close the baffles at those speeds and re-open them…

LHD vehicle, but RHD lights probably, as well as some other idiosyncrothingis. Like having the wrong emissions classification.
That is regularly a problem with Porsches from the Emirates and other arab nations. Cheap to import, but often were sold de-catted and without additional gear to keep emissions and noise down,…

additionally, since p.ex. Twitch shows advertising to non-subscribers, even if you are not a partner or affiliate, you stream is monetized, therefore not “non-profit” (even if you yourself do not see any revenue from it).

Legally speaking, every streamer needs permission from every company to stream their game.
This was…

eh, a VW T4 campervan of the first generation often came with the 68hp Diesel engine. Talk about slow, they struggled to reach 60mph depending on the road.
But they always got there in the end, and so will this one.

There is a channel on Twitch and Youtube called “Marmeladenoma” where a grandmother, aided on the technical aspects by her grandson, is reading classic fairy tales to the viewers, in the hope that they will not be forgotten.
She has become an internet phenomenon in Germany, appearing on TV shows and generally getting…

I wouldn’t say that about Middara.
The Adventure book has more than 400 pages, containing lore and a continuing story to play through. Then there’s the Crawl book for faster play sessions.
I own both of them, and Middara comes out as the king.
And no, the Middara box is bigger and quite a bit heavier too - without any…

“Biggest Board Game”?

ah, that would work, if you’d just change a little thing about her.
Woman of color, harnessing natural electricity, capable of flight, white hair... and now make her lisp. The game is so absurd, you just might take the dignity out of any concept that there is.

That might be why I like Junkrat so much. He doesn’t even…

Meh, the standard problem for a lot of people on this side of the ocean (read: not America) is more that they are accustomed to certain images from Folklore and from the (animated) movies and series.
And when all of that gets thrown out of the window, it feels weird for a lot of people and pushes them out of their…

The system died in Germany, because every electronics salesman was telling the people to hold off purchasing it because the PS2 would be coming “soon” and it would be so much better.
Well, when the PS2 came out it was 1200DM with a controller, memory card and a game vs. 349DM for the Dreamcast.
But the PS2 had a DVD…

There are two cars I can think of where a red soft-top looks quite good:

Tetris on the original Gameboy. I cannot think of any other game on a portable system that I played as much.

Same thing exists in Germany. Only that here, if you stand in the “walking” lane people will push on regardless and push you aside to get through, often cursing you and calling you names in the process.
