less than a lake reflecting the sunlight. most modern ones have semi-matte coatings.

Soil forms around and underneath plants that are allowed to naturally grow - soil which can contain water. Also roots of plants and plants themselves can. Think: Cactus.
Grass is bad, if it is not allowed to grow tall and intermingle with all kinds of bushes. But trees can cope with surprisingly little water, and grow…

Could be, does not have to - it depends on whether an alternative store would curate its entries.
At least Xbox started with the Xbox Live Arcade program during the 360 days, allowing smaller indie-titles to be distributed digitally. Its original size constraints for entries lead to some interesting games, also from a…

you didn’t get the point. They openly said that by reducing the potential audience of a title possible sales were hurt. And are therefore making an argument why, even after a merger, they would be foolish to restrict access to COD in any way, especially from a top-selling platform.
Activision didn’t put COD back on…

The thing you are ignoring is that on PC, we have a choice where to buy games. I p.ex. won’t touch the Epic store with a 10-foot-pole, do not give in to their giveaways because I’ve been burned by Epics lackluster security from the Unreal development days when I already had to have an account with them (and info got…

All of those numbers are meaningless. The only interesting thing is how fast it can go around a twisting, winding, narrow track.
Every trained ape can drive bloody fast in a straight line provided the vehicle is somewhat stable and the road flat.
Driving a vehicle fast around lots of corners is a whole different story. 

Historically, console exclusives started with Nintendo and then Sega. When Microsoft entered the game though, Sony was already going at it with the Playstation. They wrestled Square over from Nintendo to the PSX, and bought up Psygnosis to develop future titles for them (Wipeout ceased to be multi-vendor after 2097,…

It was the same with the PS2, that one was notoriously difficult to program, and the first games looked way, way worse than anything the Dreamcast had to offer at that point. It took them quite some time to get their game up to par, but marketing worked overtime to compensate for that. That, and ... exclusives. Like…

AMDs tech is supported by ALL graphics cards, regardless of vendor.
Any card can benefit from FSR and Freesync, only Nvidia locks their shit behind closed doors and charges a boatload of money for it.

People with an Intel ARC 770 should be happy.

If only the game had something called an offline mode. Which would enable you to play without having a constant internet connection. Like all games used to have at some point.

The S60 is nice, but give me the choice between that and the equivalent V70, and the estate will win any day of the week. The trunk opening of the S60 is laughably small, sadly :(

No Estate, no buy. Simple as that. Who buys sedans anyway? Those are cars for elderly people.
I want to open a hatch, throw in my stuff and not be concerned about luggage space or “will it fit?”. Volvo always had me covered there.

1000$ ? Ahahaha, no, stuff’s usually not that cheap on an old Porsche :D
Look up the prices for a Targa roof assembly from the 996 if you want a real sticker shock. Other people buy a decent used car for one of the glass panes alone.

why not raise the bar for getting an approval to drive commercial trucks in the US? A proper drivers license for those rigs that has to be taken by everyone who wants to be employed in that field. This includes test where you have to correctly identify signs and correctly answer on how to proceed with the vehicle that…

Diablo 1 and 2 do not require you to be online to play though, do they? (I am not talking about D2 resurrected which requires you to log on once every 30 days). D3 can be played offline on consoles.

We have forced disconnects by our service provider where I live. Once in 24 hours, but the time is not set in stone, it can change. Another reason not to give any more single cent to Blizztivision and their dumb decisions.

in No Mans Sky’s case the game would not have existed, because the procedural generation was at its core, it was what all the premise of the game was all about. All other parts were (at least at launch) mediocre or outright bad (and some like network sync still are), but the premise of infinite planets and aliens…

The people running gas stations don’t own them outright anymore in most cases anyway, most are just employed by the gas companies or other large chains to run them. Especially those on highways.

Ah, that only works if you have a single house though and don’t live in an apartment. Which most people in Germany do, about half of us here live for rent in an apartment or semi-detached or rowhouse.
Solar to charge a car? Not possible.

Or hast it? Yes, we have an abundance of food, or more: overabundance if there is such a thing. So much food gets wasted every day, it is mind-bogglind. I just read that in the US stuff like apples are basically polished and arranged in the stores and every single one that is not spot-free and not gleaming thrown away…
