You’d think that, but if you own a sports car that isn’t daily-driveable you just end up wishing you could drive it more.

How many loud, uncomfortable, in-your-face sports cars have you owned?

Being an event and being a usable car do not have to be mutually exclusive. That’s the beauty of modern cars. Even Ferraris make decent everyday cars these days

I keep telling everyone who says “The R8 is boring” the same thing:

I am also a fan of that significantly more expensive vehicle. 

Wait, I thought the Mustang was an electric SUV, now I’m confused

Wait, so you mean to tell me the old school handle design isn’t absolutely perfect? That can’t be right. All of the comments around here have me believing the old way of doing things was perfect. Now I don’t know what to think. 

Just pulled the door handle out of my BMW this weekend. Three Separate Electrical plugs,( one for the window, one for the lock and one unknown) and two cables make this work, until that cast zinc piece in the front breaks and you cannot open the door from the outside.

Sorry, but that man was just objectively an idiot and a great candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Your nightmare has already arrived! Basically all accelerator pedals are switches now. I don’t think any car on the market has a cable connecting the pedal to the throttle anymore. Brake-by-wire is also becoming a thing on some cars.

Who needs a stinkin’ door?

Welcome to our future hellscape where every simple mechanical function has been replaced by a more complicated, less reliable, electro-mechanical system. It won’t be long until the accelerator and brake petals are soft buttons too. Unless the entire door pops open and closes automatically without any effort, I’m not…

OK Boomer.

There’s another problem: the competition can do essentially everything stadia can.

Stadia just doubled their launch lineup....and it is still half as big as the number of xcloud games in their Beta. The game streaming wars are almost like a format war. And google is hd dvd. Both microsoft and sony have a large stable…

Nvidia Shield allows you to stream your games to your shield device or tablet using any of the bigger game libraries out there (steam, origin, uplay, blizzard ... maybe even the epic games store) without any additional charge.

Stadia isn’t able to run many demanding titles because there is only so much information you can pump through a server/modem at this stage of our internet world. Some games will have to shave off quality in order to get it to stream properly.

Looking at the game lineup, it seems no publisher was willing to tie new releases to this thing. Probably trying to avoid bad press when it (inevitably) comes out that the lag makes the game unplayable with Stadia for a bunch of people.

A lot of people, including myself, have been singing Gamepass’s praises lately.  Game services are fine so long as there is both a good selection,and the price is right.  In functionality it’s no different from a rental service, where people are paying a cheaper price for temporary access to some media.

Google has an uphill battle in the short-term imho.  Speaking for myself, I want to own my games, which is why i prefer physical media as much as possible, or at least keep the game code locally so i can play offline.  I daresay most gamers still prefer that as well.

I’m surprised Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order isn’t releasing on this service. I can only imagine Google is missing a size-able demographic who love Star Wars and don’t own a console/ powerful PC.

Then again, it’s Google. Who knows how they will mess this up (beyond Stadia’s current state).
