yup. Bought the NA for 1100€ including a set of winter tyres and hardtop. We had to weld a lot of body parts, installed a new roof (that alone was over 500€ in parts), had to replace a lot of engine stuff (one water connector at the front was 250€ at Mazda alone, and there’s no aftermarket part for that), had to…

getting in/out of one is one thing (with the roof on :D ), the other thing are the seats in an elise/Exige. I sat in some because some larger Miata owners use them for their light weight and thin-ness to provide extra headroom.
Well... yeah, if I sit on bare carbon fiber without any upholstery, I sure get extra…

Thank you, both of you. I was thinking the same - fat old people are often the only ones who can afford a (new) 2 seater sports car as a secondary or tertiary ride.
But that doesn’t mean that the Miata has to change. Bought one for my wife as her first car, a beater - sure, but it was still fun, and she loved it until…

A lot of people still like physical media. Games that you somehow “own” in some way. People have been burnt by Sonys recent removal of movies they paid money for from their accounts, being unable to download/watch them again.

At least in this regard, Steam is still the better option. Even if a game gets delisted for…

Insurance companies. Banks. All of those enterprises where you need people who are normally working their standard 8-hour-shift, but know that when shit hits the fan, they have to buckle up and solve the problem with coffee and determination. (and will get reimbursed for it later, so they still are ok with that)
Also,…

In Germany, the premade forms for selling cars privately all have fields on them to note down the id number of the “Personalausweis”, our state-issued id document, as well as the full address of the buyer.
If someone would refuse that - well, they can try to buy a car somewhere else.
Also, they will have to pay via…

you may have hit the nail on the head: The only people to mistake the PALs for Pokemon would be the ones that hardly ever played any Pokemon game. The ones complaining are those people who should know better, but probably somehow are angry that a small company produce an open world monster game that’s more inline with…

Not really. The gameplay is fun on its own, the beasts could’ve looked wildly different and it would still be a fun game. There are only so many variants you can make a cute comic-like wolf/sheep/insert-other-animal-here, they will all look somewhat the same.

Sorry, but correction: Worldwide it is 50 years, while some EU countries and the US have extended it via Lex Disney to 70 years, with the option to extend it in the US via renewal.
The 50 years is only a recommendation though, don’t know if all countries really follow suit here.

Japan also has 70 years from the death of…

afaik, AI was used on a previous game from the team, not on this one.
And if you look at the side by side comparison of the models the guy posted afterwards on his twitter, and not only the video, you would’ve seen that the models are not really close to each other. Other models were even further apart.

You could also…

Look at the thread you linked, they have side-by-side pictures of both models there. Definitely not the same, not even close.

It is sadly normal in Germany that foreigners have to pay fines at least 50% in cash, because quite often, credit cards they used to pay the fines were fake/stolen.

Most accounts in Germany would not allow you to withdraw that amount in one day anyway. As well with new EU regulations underway, any transaction higher than 10.000€ in cash needs to be registered , the seller needs to keep records of your identity and can ask where you got the cash from, the bank handing out the cash…

90km/h = 55mph. 

Curtain airbags are still relegated to the upper classes of cars. And I’ve seen some which had stickers/markers on the roof, but actually no airbags inside!
But basically everything in the sub-20K-Euro-category, which is a large part of the market, has none of those. Maybe side airbags in the seats, but even those are…

Five normally sized people with an average weight of 75kg. That’s about the european norm, don’t know what kind of XXXL persons you are talking about ^^
JK, my brother-in-law is about 6,8ft and really struggles in a lot of “normal” sized cars. When he sits in a Daihatsu Copen, his head is fully above the windshield,…

Yeah, well everybody knew that it would took them “some” years until the ships would be in-game, but feature-creep (which was mostly the fault of the backers wanting more of everything, and throwing more money at it to make it happen) meant that the design of the actual ships got pushed back, and the gameloops to…

I agree in some part. Though we as the backers are also to blame, they asked if we wanted more and told us that the game would take longer then, and the vocal majority was always crying: MORE, MORE, MORE!
The original pitch was for a much smaller game, instanced playerbase with 32-64 players per instance (like E:D,…

They are actually updating the flight model again. Some people are very vocal against it, but they want to make it more diverse between fight or flight - i.e. you can go full speed, but not with powered-up weapons or shields. If you want to go head to head, you are limited speed-wise to get full agility out of your…

not really. Look at the latest trailers for Squadron 42 (the singleplayer-standalone game that has evolved from the single campaign thing), they look quite nice even still. And hey, it’s a possibility to see some actors in motion that have since passed in the real world.
It is now apparently “feature complete”. The…
