Uh, it’s called different opinions, bub. What’s so bizarre about that?

I was really hoping for just one more toast-related comparison in your post. It would’ve really rounded it out nicely. :-P

I’d think the parties most concerned about this practice would be advertisers (followed closely by less-connected streamers).

I’m not talking about grinds in general, and definitely not about grinding while playing the same way you would in a competition. I have nothing against requiring relevant grinding in games. My point is just that the specific type of grind required in Pokemon in order to compose a competitive team has nothing to do…

There’s definitely a place in the automotive world for both of those types of vehicle concepts. This, as all of the Vision GT cars have been, is purely a marketing stunt. However, it’s basically the case that all concept cars are marketing stunts — this is just a marketing stunt that will result in a usable in-game…

Yes, but when you look at the time spent, how it’s spent, and what sort of effort is involved during that time, the difference is quite apparent.

I wouldn’t normally think to compare these cars too directly since they seem to me to be aimed at different markets. For me, the Hyundai Elantra GT is more of a direct competitor to the Mazda 3, so that would’ve been the more interesting comparison.

If anything, extremely popular content creators should be placed under greater scrutiny than average players when they break the rules. They’re playing these games *professionally*, as in *like a job*. Of course there is going to be money on the line, but that’s the case with any job. Jarvis didn’t take his job…

This reminds me of the site that was known for popularizing “videogame photograpgy”, Dead End Thrills and its author Duncan Harris. I’m sure most people who have been online and following videogames since about 2011 and before have heard of him, but he’s still producing content, and it still looks great.

The cost of that 3D scanning rig has probably been covered multiple times over by the media attention it brings every time they use it to add another celebrity to the game.

Who knew Gran Turismo was so realistic!

I hope, if they release this game in the US, that they keep that kanji quiz game. I’d love another method/excuse to practice Japanese.

This is not a true self-driving car, though. The Tesla “Autopilot” feature is nowhere even close to full-on whole-car autonomous driving systems being tested by Google, Uber, and others — and those more substantial systems have still had their fair share of accidents.

Add the 188 HP engine and AWD from the outgoing Juke and I’d absolutely be interested in this. The Kicks is fairly bland, and I was majorly disappointed when they replaced the original Juke with it. I loved that they had that 215 HP Juke Nismo RS too.

I’ve, no joke, heard of people sneezing when getting aroused, but never a nose-bleed. It’s actually apparently been reported on by a sister site, Splinter News.

When I read that, my first thought was how it seemed like if that single officer didn’t recognize him, and/or didn’t happen to live in his neighborhood, the situation most likely would have become significantly worse. It was basically pure luck that resolved the situation so quickly. Most others who are Swatted don’t…

Ah, interesting! That said, what I’m really wondering is why his name is “Onion” in Japanese.

When I visited, I did this on my own based on locations in the Digimon animated series. I basically re-traced the steps of the show via Google Maps and then went there myself. Later, I found the website writer Chiaki Konaka set up for all the extra commentary on the season he wrote and saw that he had pointed out…

I’m not sure about that “sharing contact info” test. . .
