I think it’s worth mentioning that the ambient/original music in the Bounty of Blood DLC is some of the best original score I think I’ve ever heard in a video game. It perfectly captures the western/samurai vibe and pays homage to scores from Morricone and Hayasaka while being it’s own work entirely. I also think it’s…

The Niva’s biggest problem in crash testing (which was, as far as I know last updated in 2011 when it got a driver’s airbag (optional)) is it’s lack of crumple zones. The Niva’s unibody is actually extremely ridged and very, very strong. which is bad, because it’s has very low energy absorption. All the force of the…

Yeah, I guess a central cam and long radial pushrods, like an aircraft engine would be perfectly fine, and not too complex... I am one of those people who always defaults to thinking about OHC...

interesting... The valve train would obviously be comically complex, but there’s some neat stuff going on here...

This is exactly why the PS5 has variable clock speed... All the instruction sets from the PS4 are still available, but if the hardware is running too fast, it may mess up important timing things. Sony’s solution: slow the hardware down. It’s kinda brilliant. Theoretically this should mean wider/more accurate backward…

It seems the 5 has the hardware moxy to run software emulation of the 1 and 2 without any issue. The 3... Well that hardware is tricky to emulate... The RPCS3 team has done amazing work, and the hardware requirements are actually not too bad, but there’s still a long way to go on that front.

I’m with you. Language, and especially English relies heavily on context. Removing, or retconning a word’s (or even phrase’s) context changes its meaning. Language evolves. Language is context sensitive. This same attitude leads to literal readings of the Bible, and we all know how well that goes. 

This has multiple motors... motor per wheel? you can hear the whine get out of synch under acceleration when there is probably wheel slip...

As the owner of a 2019 Kona Limited, it is the answer. Surprisingly fun to drive, excellent AWD system, short person friendly, reasonably priced and well equipped.

The Golf AllTrack is decidedly NOT short person friendly. Mrs. BoostAddict, who is 5'4" cannot find a comfortable driving position in one.

As a liberal pinko commie hippie that’s pro gun ownership, I support this statement. The (modern) NRA-jimmy-rustled Gun Nuts are the problem. (Free health care -including mental health- wouldn’t hurt)

I had a 2003 and a 2011 Elantra with stick, the shift feel was very good, and the clutch feel in the 2003 was excellent, the 2011 had too much of that modern-small-car zero-pedal-effort going on, but it still made for fun times at the autocross, and the handling with strut tower braces and good tires was surprising. 

I had a 2003 sedan and a 2011 Touring, both with manual. They were competent, reliable, cheap to own, and the stick was pretty good. I now have a 2019 Kona Limited, and the chassis, 1.6 turbo, and excellent AWD system would be great with a row-your-own option, sadly that does not exist. I still say its the best, least…

I missed it if I ever read... Does the 2.7T GM 4-cyl have port and direct injection, or just direct? I know the 2nd generation ecoboost 2.7tt v6 in our 2018 F150 uses the ability to somewhat cool charge air and the valve-train with the port injection to shift combustion temps down and burn leaner at higher loads by…

I used to travel for a living as an industrial automation service tech, and the worst, most boring, blandest and least internationally-influenced food I had was in Idaho. I made the mistake of going to a “Thai” restaurant... there was a big blurb in the front of the menu about how the owners had been so impressed with…

I really wish 2008 hadn’t forced my hand... My 1992 Alfa Romeo 164-s had just over 400K on it when I sold it. If I had had the resources to fix the rusty rear subframe and continue to own multiple cars maybe I could have gotten it to a million and earned a new Giulia...

The HY actually used a version of this engine into the 80's. Parts availability is not an issue.

you don’t directly “crap”on people for liking turkey, but your use of the phrase “Real Talk:” is generally interpreted as a kind of jab, as if you are saying “I know society says you have to like turkey, and you SAY you like turkey, but lets stop lying to each other about how much of a waste of time turkey really is…

But the main event meat? I’ve never found turkey satisfying, much less have it reach craveable heights. Even if you find the concept of Thanksgiving dinner delicious, its deliciousness is rarely attributed to the bird, rather, dinner in the aggregate.
