With what driver though? Stroll certainly isn’t the worst driver on the grid, but it’s well accepted that he’s still a pay-for driver. I don’t think Alonso will be around in five years.

Dodge, stand forth and take a bow. You guys truly GET how to not go gently into that good night. Everything in this last finale of the Challenger/Charger/Hellcat saga has been a crescendo worthy of a grand opera. US V8 muscle cars are dying out, but by the Stars and Stripes, they are not going quietly. Bravo.

In my work, I always under-promise and over-deliver. Musk has taken a... different approach.

Until Ford drops $44 bills on a social media platform that has never made a dime I, for one, am skeptical that they’ have the focus and discipline to truly succeed in the EV market.

“On top of that, Musk’s idea of a 700 mph vacuum-powered train is literally nowhere to be found in the real world.”

If only there was a way of knowing that this boring company project was a scam.

Honestly, how anyone ever fell for this super obvious scam is a mystery to me.

Seriously we need to stop this idea that Charles Martinet would be a good mario for 90 minutes. He does a fantastic job with the short quips and reaction lines but god if you hear him trying to do long form mario it is just grating and awful.

Your cryo-pod opens with a hiss of cold air. You have no idea how long you’ve been under. You fall to the floor, your muscles sore and atrophied. It takes a few moments for the rest of your senses to come back. Longer than you think, longer than you’d like. Once your eyes are able to focus, you look around the dimly…

I’m sure they’ll find new and innovative ways to continue the proud legacy of having that one goddamn character in every Bethesda game.

You’re alone on the ship, you’re out of fuel. You desperately search around the few asteroids in the system scavenging what little you can find. But you’ve stayed too long. You hear the footsteps, he’s here. And all that fills you is dread as they speak.

So... Earth got hit with a space fart.

Naw, Nintendo knows exactly how 95%+ of their community functions. You know how many Nintendo customers care about the pro smash scene? <1%.

Nintendo has never licensed events in the past, and has taken a hands off approach to competitive events until a year ago when they partnered with Panda Global and started hosting officially licensed competitions through that partnership.

Nintendo seemed willing to work with Smash World Tour initially. In the time…

Nintendo once again showing that they have no idea how their community actually functions.

Another one of these articles means it’s time for all the weirdos to log on and explain how Nintendo “has every right to protect their IP and who even cares about this old game anyway?”

You do realise that argument holds about as much water as just saying “well Singapore is doing amazing, so authoritarian capitalism must be good” right?

In theory, maybe, but in practice, where’s the sustained demonstration of that having happened?

Even that’s suspect. The feedback mechanism of allowing firms to fail if they have bad ideas and the risk/reward tradeoff that liquid capital markets create is critical to the most efficient economic evolution and innovation.

On the one hand it’s very fun to watch that section of PDS fans that are very into the studio’s output for acting out their Wehraboo or Crusader-Christian fantasies getting angry at a game portraying left-wing economics as superior but at the same time I can’t help but laugh at the naive “if you just give a higher…
