You’re right as a non-truck person you don’t get it. The bed is where you throw your empty beer cans on your way to the gun range and back.

Exactly. What a ridiculous take. I hope.. hope.. it’s for clicks and isn’t a real take. I guess I’ll add Ismail to the growing list of Jalopnik writers I don’t click on. Can’t wait for the Autopian to kick off.

Does Jalopnic not use their Slack chat to discuss article ideas between themselves? And NOBODY shot this down?

This article is a bad take, and you outline why.

drivers wanted nimble and fun cars are a dying breed.

The vast majority of car buyers need a covered cargo area

Not really. The only things you have to worry about are fairly light objects with a lot of surface area. So I wouldn’t transport my poster board in the bed of my truck...I’d put it in the back seat. I put groceries in the bed of my truck all the time. Even driving at 80 MPH, nothing has ever flown out of the bed. My…

I don’t understand this take. Someone makes a small fuel efficient pickup and that’s a problem? We should only buy Brodoziers and Civics?  I see lot’s of people who have a commuter car and a beater pickup for weekend projects or sports stuff. Why is combining the two an issue? I still don’t understand why GM never…

Platinum has always been hit-or-miss. They made that terrible Legend of Korra game. And that boring Transformers game. And that awful TMNT game. And that questionable Star Fox game.

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.

There was never a situation where Kotick wasn't going to get a huge payday, regardless of this buyout. 

That’s what some people said about the Bethesda acquisition. Even Microsoft tried to slow play it. Then they basically confirmed last year that it will all be Xbox/Windows exclusives (correct me if I’m wrong there) going forward.

My PS5 is starting to seem like a poor investment. And now I’m wishing I held out for an Xbox Series X instead of a Series S.

Considering this is likely to take all of the games and make them exclusives I wouldn’t call this pro consumer.

I mean... there’s basically no way to see one gigantic behemoth buying another gigantic behemoth as being a “pro consumer” move.

This is the gaming equivalent of Disney swallowing up Fox. That festering shitheel Bobby Kotick is going to get a big fat paycheck on the way to having his ass kicked out the door. And anything still left at Blizzard that people still give a crap about (which, at the moment, is probably very little) is going to be…

Remember 20 years ago when the United States sued Microsoft over anti-trust laws? It’s crazy to see how monopolies are now the norm aNd ThEy’Re GoOd FoR tHe EcOnOmY aCtUaLy.

Sony: “So, there’s this game developer we’ve been working with for like ten years. Almost every game they’ve made during that time has been a PlayStation exclusive. They like us. We like them. We thought about it for a long time, and after a lot of thinking we’ve decided to make it official. Welcome to the PlayStation…

How is twitter not dead yet? People should have learnt by now.

A lot of these discussions make me think of Tolstoy’s “What Is Art?”, or at least parts I think I remember from college (a million years and a million beers ago). Basically, think of a sunset - you can write a poem about it, take a picture, draw a sketch, make an impressionist painting, compose a song about it,…
