And you think that it is sensible for people who have no training on these vehicles to handle them in everyday traffic? Through dense city centres and small towns, and on byroads?

I think that Sony, having bought so many studios outright starting from their first playstation days (buying Psygnosis to absorb it later on) has not really a good standpoint in this.
In fact, they absorbed so many studios that from then on produced exclusives for their consoles - that they are only now after decades…

Ah, you’re moving vehicles around. Ok, in Europe we use specialized equipment for stuff like that. Like actual rental vehicles that have a towing platform, 7,5ton trucks.
The thing is: With a normal drivers license, you are limited to 3.5ton maximum vehicle weight plus 750kg trailer anyway, or 3.5ton in total (vehicle…

Just out of curiosity, what are you towing that weighs 4 tons?
Apart from that, a normal VW T6.1 bus has space for 9 people with room for some shopping, or less with room for luggage for a trip, and can legally tow 2.5 tons. And is lighter and smaller than most SUV, and drinks less fuel.
Btw, same thing is correct for…

My standards are quite high though. A lot of people seem to hate on Cyberpunk because it is hip to do so, never having played the game at all. Or expecting another Witcher game, which it is not - not from the perspective, from the fact that you can actually design your character yourself, from the whole underlying…

If it was a masterpiece, it would grip everybody from its first moment of play. For me, it fails to do so. Maybe I am spoilt by Elder Scrolls games, but Witcher3 felt somewhat... restricted. It places great emphasis on telling a story (or more: stories if you count the addons), it apparently does things right from…

The thing is: I never hated this game. I loved it from day one, hour one. I never felt that my expectations hadn’t been met. Then again, I do not like the Witcher games at all. None of them, and I tried to play them all when they were relased (because the books are ok-ish), and again later on when they got upgrades…

See, that’s why in Germany the headlight setting is checked at least every 2 years when your car needs a TÜV inspection.
Actually, a non-working headlight adjustment can lead to an automatic failure. Same as blind headlight covers or similar stuff.
Also the reason, why non-approved lights or bulbs are an automatic fail…

There are more things in the game, kind of “easter eggs” directed against Ukraine. Cans with pig meat in Ukraine colors:

Right, earlier Porsche models also had something similar. But maybe that was a design of the times, the 928 airbag wheel also looks similar.
Or several manufacturers bought their wheels from one supplier, after all there are not that many manufacturers of steering wheels.

There is actually a four-spoke wheel on early 996/986 that looks a lot like that Ford wheel.
That said, I like the interior of the 996 much more than the angular hack job they did with the 997 and the following models. Where it looks very much as if the designed the interior with a ruler and a triangle.
After a long…

Nintendo themselves maybe, but we got a few deals here where we could get 3 switch games for 99€ (including tax that is) at large electronics retailers.
Got myself Mario Kart, Zelda BOTW and Animal Crossing like that.

40" waistline seems quite the norm to me tbh. For women this is classified as “Large” in my country, bordering on XL. Same for men.
So... excluding the majority? Not so much. Some quite tall people, who also have the body proportions to go with their height, might have a problem here.
But then again, it depends on the…

And they all will be gone as soon as you stop your subscription.
Modern gaming in a nutshell indeed.
No boxes on the shelf to remind you of past playthroughs. No manuals, artbooks, or gimmicks. Just - gone.
A nightmare for preservationists, like most of online gaming.

^^ basically yes. You are allowed in most EU states to sleep in your car parked in a valid parking spot for one night to regain your ability to drive safely (to prevent accidents because you are too tired to reach your destination). But you have to get up in the morning and make way, not cook breakfast first in your…

In some countries, anything that doesn’t extend beyond the borders of the car, p.ex. a roof tent that when opened pops straight up, is not considered camping. but still luggage. So it is a possibility to get a nights sleep in places where camping is not allowed.
(you would be allowed to sleep in your car/van at the…

That is really the price for which you can get the unit. If you can install it yourself (which can be almost plug&play if you already had a PCM), that’s it.
For a professional retrofit, coming from a lower line stereo, add another 500-700$.

My bad, I was flummoxed by the “early 2000s” - the new models are from 2005 onwards which is not that early anymore.

You have the wrong images. Those are from MY 2005-onward cars. The devices for older cars (Boxster 986, 911 996) were already available for quite some time (since 2020):

The Renault Espace F1.
Put a V10 formula one engine inside a Renault family van, just “because we can”.
Apart from that, the Porsche B32 - a VW T3 with a Porsche 911 boxer engine inside. That was an official thing, they made a bit more than a dozen of those.

I get his statement from a certain point of view. In previous years, game companies would release games when the devs liked them, they released what they wanted to make and liked to play.
Nowadays, you have the feeling that every game has to go through a committee first before being released, be probed for possible…
