*Whispers into the Ether*  “It’s the (lack of) games”

This is like saying you should just drive a flat bed tow truck with a spare car because you might might break down someday. “Why even drive a car that isn’t a tow truck with a spare car?”  One “rescue” charge over the course of an EV’s life that most owners will never need doesn’t negate the benefits of the YEARS…

often involving protesters gluing themselves to asphalt, so they can’t move out of the way of oncoming traffic.

Given how shoddily secured most truck’s cargo looks when I pass it on the interstate, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more...like every couple of minutes somewhere in the US.

Hoping someone gets the “Fist of the Dead Star” in this one.

I still remember getting sideswiped by cars after pulling someone over because I didn’t approach the “right way” in Police Quest 2.

I’d be willing to bet money it looks like someone playing a VR game because that’s how they captured the footage, the hand movements, etc. Hell, it would be so easy. This just looks like an external feed of someone playing Boneworks in a much higher fidelity game engine.

The part of my brain that went “buuuuullllllshiit” when the Killzone 2 trailer was shown got triggered by this trailer. Not that it’s impossible to create animations this varied for head and hand movements, reloads, etc. but I’d put money on this looking like someone playing the game in VR because that’s how they…

...your metric for how popular the announcement to drop the one of the most popular features in modern cars is whether there was a mass exodus of reservation holders that probably aren’t aware of it? Jesus, GM has their head up their own ass.

They tried to build Disney’s America west of DC in Northern Va but the locals killed it.  But yes, they need to diversify locations.

Dentist here. It’s awful to me too.

Yeah, that’s the downside.  But after using one exclusively for a couple days muscle memory takes over and my eyes just adjust their focal length automatically when looking (like they’re adjusting to looking at the infotainment screen from looking out the windshield) and I don’t even notice.  It’s hard to overcome 25…

How many cars over the years have had functionally useless rear windows anyway?  My wife’s Defender and my GMC have rear view mirror screens so they could have blanked out rear windows as well and I’d never know.  This is fine.

So is the state going to take responsibility for accidents on rides they’ve certified as “safe” in a scenario where this comes true? (For the record I think DeSantis is full of hot air and he just continues to dig himself a hole where all of these highly specific, targeted rule changes bolster Disney’s case).

Nintendo’s legal ethos IS petulant, petty, and cruel. Almost every stance they’ve taken on fair use, monetization on YouTube, use of their games at tournaments, public exhibition, etc. are regressive and draconian.

“Treasonous dumbass” is probably a more succinct descriptor. I don’t agree with using “gun enthusiast” as a pejorative on the same level as “racist”. He’s all of those things, but they’re tangential to just being a seditious piece of shit.

...It’s only a flagship because their marketing department says it is. BMW themselves offer SUVs that look better, go faster, sound better, etc. for a fraction of this thing’s ridiculous price. The only thing it symbolizes is stupidity. If I see someone driving this, I won’t be going “ooo, they must be rich or…

TH made a very good point. This is what happens when BMW wants to make a X8 M70e and the marketing department is like “we have a ‘better’ idea”. It’s slower, more expensive, has less interior space, looks worse, has a worse stereo, etc. than an X5/6 Comp. It’s completely pointless and not in a good way. You could buy…

Well, in the case of the Hummer, they’d have to actually make them for them for that to be a problem. They’ve only sold 856 in the 18 months it’s been on sale (and only 2 in the past 6 months). Anyway, I wouldn’t install chargers on anything but the first floor. You could always just penalize parking EVs on anything…

That’s the hope but it never works out. The lure of clout will settle a fog on consequences. And anyone too cheap to buy the book originally was just going to google pdfs of the book after release anyway. The people who want a well made tangible artbook will still buy it, even after the leak. I still have my pre-order…
