It’s really not as bad as people think, because they are equating the batteries in cars to the ones in their phones, which have a very measurable drop in less than 3 years. This drop is due to the usage habits of phones, and the fact that there is only one cell in the battery. Charging a single cell hundreds of time…

There’s not “much more demand” for the PS5 at this point; Both are selling out as fast as they can make them. Any indications of demand at this point are BS, it will take until there is stock to buy before we can determine that.

WTF is that stick even there for?

The engineering section post refit was mostly shuttle bay and rec deck. Main engineering was still in the saucer just like in TOS, and there is debate whether the warp core was there or not - most agree it was, because there was literally no room in the eng hull because of the way they designed the shuttle bay.

Like that would stop them.

The big caveat for GamePass is that DLC is not included, and with day 1 DLC being the norm for a lot of games now (to encourage people to buy the higher tier versions), that can be a bummer. Still, you can play the game with the sub and decide if you want to get some DLC for it after, maybe while it’s on sale, so it’s…

Do not underestimate the power of slide rules and groups of people in a room with mechanical calculators. :)

You can look at historical photos of pre-WWII battleships that were refitted with modern secondary guns for more evidence of the prowess of shipyard welders. Ships like the USS Nevada and USS California that were severely damaged and actually sunk at Pearl Harbor, that were re-floated, returned stateside, and rebuilt.

+1. They’re really simple to set up (there’s a hose adapter you put on your sink faucet that quick-disconnects to the hose on the unit, and a single plug that you put in a GFE outlet), and in general they do as good a job as a built-in. You can roll them off into whatever closet you have space in when not in use.

We don’t know all the details yet, but EA Play is being added to GamePass in early November, and if it’s the full version of the service it will likely include SW Squadrons and FIFA 21. So if you want to wait on it, and you already have GamePass, it might be worth it.

The topic here is (and always has been) what the teaser trailer showed and whether the game was ready based on it. I am (and have been) saying that the teaser trailer they ALREADY DID was enough to be the only announcement trailer. There’s nothing more needed in that regards, because there’s no “wow” to be had by a…

Again, how does a standard game trailer show those changes beyond flashing some text on the screen? If, as you insist, the people you are talking about consider graphics secondary, then what exactly is the benefit of a video sequence showing those things off with text over the top of them vs a static picture of box…

No, seriously, how much more graphical fidelity does a closed track game really need? There are lots of improvements in gameplay to be had and those changes are likely going to be exciting to the “I have a dedicated bucket and steering rig” crowd, but in the end it’s going to be a bunch of text flashed over a screen…

It’s a track racing game, what exactly are they going to show that people will be impressed with?

So, same timeframe as Sony’s AAA exclusives they’ve “announced”? I don’t really see your point. We all know that “2021" in a AAA game announcement means “rushed unfinished and full of bugs for Holiday 2022" in real development time, that’s why MS didn’t even bother with dates on most titles.

Well, there’s the fact that the video card alone to match the Series X visual quality costs more than the Series X likely will. Even if the rumors on the price tag and performance of the RTX 3070 end up being true, the Series X likely is a better deal if you don’t already have a $2000 computer and just want to game.

Sounds like someone in that conversation doesn’t understand that there are women who enjoy having more that one orgasm, or orgasming in multiple ways simultaneously. Not that there’s anything wrong with women who are one-and-done or prefer a single stim source at a time, but it ain’t the only preference or option...

Don’t need to be into anything kinky. Some people are just messy to have sex with, even normal vanilla sex, and mattresses are hella expensive.

As others have said, I think your memories of previous console launches is a bit more rosy than was actually the case. Launch years are never as exciting as the years following them, launch games almost always end up being last gen titles that they shoved new features into late in the dev cycle to make them “next…

With LG’s upcoming 48-inch OLED, it could be your new gaming PC monitor too. :)
