Those games seem like they’re good enough to play with a performance hit. The fact that the Deck can play them really says a lot about how good the hardware is.

I only took the time to work on it in MS paint, but this is what I think they should have done instead:

This depends on exactly how many jobs rely on keeping out the imports. Production is global certainly, but we ought to make sure that the math maths.

People are childish. You could reply with “Your wife (SO if they use they/them pronouns) didn’t seem to have trouble with it” but that's also childish. I prefer the scowl and smh combo.

1st Gear: I’ll believe it when I see it (build quality going to be really important in a rocket ship, especially when it crashes)

Have you priced any EV batteries? Most are still extremely expensive, so this take is currently valid. If US based battery plants come online this may change, but currently EVs are not cheaper to maintain.

This will never make it out of the greys, but whatever.

Honestly I would classify the game as Pokemon with survival elements. The guns look to be super late game crafts. I'm only like 2ish hours in though.

I’m not sure I understand how the Supra is ugly? Personally I think all the body curves look nice and proportional compared the the jagged and jank looking Z, but if the Supra is ugly, what modern sports cars look better? Just curious.

Just saying they seem to be giving us all the ugly bloat bean cars here, fun looking stuff coming out for EU, maybe to a slightly lesser extent China. Maybe the data points to Americans viewing cars more and more as an appliance?

Until the $7500 becomes a point of sale rebate next year, most of us poors can't take advantage of it, much less know it exists

If you don’t mind my butting in, I would say that the “global ev buying" doesn't quite correlate to our US market. If the smaller, more affordable offerings they get in the EU and China were available here, I think you could safely make that argument. IMO the issue is that the OEMs are offering the wrong products to…

Somewhat related, but the AI component of Forge has been fun to mess with. Shame it limits you to 32 characters at a time, but it sure was entertaining making a marathon of elites power jog in circles around the blank canvas map. Next we’re going to tweak a very nice looking Helms Deep map to be more in line with…

Seems like the easiest solution would be to make checking bags less expensive and painful. Ideally I think they'd want to redesign the plane so that passengers and their luggage can go in the same spot, perhaps an access port below their seat, but I'm just throwing out crazy ideas. Anything to avoid being crammed in…

This may not be a valid solution for those who want “official” goods, but there are plenty of sellers on Etsy and artists on various sites like Twitter who can make fantastic pieces that rival or even exceed the quality of regular items. I feel for the folks looking to get these cards though. Scalpers have been a huge…

I had the networking error showing last night preventing me from accessing the main menu even. Rebooted the game to see if it was temporary but no dice. That was at 9PM Eastern last night. I will see how it is this week, but I may uninstall and wait a few weeks/months. Those updates for Halo Infinite and Sea of…

Played the beta both times that it was available. Was fine, but forced you to matchmake with other players. I had this nagging feeling that the online thing would become an issue, but waved it off because the beta was smooth. I queued it up on Monday morning when I couldn’t sleep just to check for a solo option, saw…

Wonderful news. All those “It’s Sea of Thieves not Sea of Friends” people can go pound sand.

On the few flights I have had recently, checking the bag would have been more than double the cost of the ticket. I am a cheapass, but I follow the rules. My bag fits in the stupid little “your bag must not exceed this amount of volume” boxes, so I’m taking it on. I try to avoid flying at all costs because of how…

I had a good weekend, though I went hard on the Rayquaza raids as I was determined to get the Mega energy. I got really lucky with getting pulled into a group of 8 through campfire and managed to get a 3* shiny. I didn’t buy a ticket because I felt like $15 was too high and didn’t think the previous years were worth…
