The video makes it look like the guys had been told where, approximately, the car was, and were out looking for it specifically, spotted it from across the road (also the angle they spotted it at means it couldn’t have been bumper stickers or the like), smashed it up kind of carefully targeting only the windows, and…

Or he could call the police on what is incredibly obviously a scam. The car was clearly targeted by people who were out looking specifically for that car (see the video), and no other cars - they didn’t even do the figleaf of mildly damaging the cars nearby.

Dude. That’s either a Mercedes GLC or GLA. The total cost of the car is thus between $34k and $55k. The total cost of the car.

Yeah his perspective seems bizarre. Uber went from “fairly reasonable” to “flatly overpriced” over the last few years. The idea that it’s “one of the best things to happen in our lifetimes” seems absolutely insane, even if we just limited that to tech or whatever. Over the same period it’s also become vastly less…

Why do you say that? Where are you based out of that you think that?

Whether it’s a GLC or a GLA, it’s an incredible scam number, given the top end new models cost like $55k.

In 2023?

Interesting! I notice quite a theme there - none of them are action games, they’re all driving games. I wonder what made it possible to do it with driving games, but not action games.

He’s not right though, you don’t have to regularly say it or even think it, if it was ingrained enough at a certain point. I’ve never called anyone any person a slur online in, like 25 years of online gaming (in general in game I’m weirdly far more polite than forum posts). But I did use the early internet, and…

Want to list some of the “multiple last gen” open-world games that have instant fast travel?

“Any game can be optimized if it’s a priority; that’s not been a priority for Bethesda for a long time (if ever).”

Sorry just saw this - that’s a barely-literate article that seems to be full of made-up nonsense, and gives no sources for any of their wild claims, so if you’re trusting that, I’m afraid that’s unreasonable behaviour.

At the current rate? A couple of years. I think we’re at least an expansion and an accompanying major gameplay overhaul away from D4 being an actually good ARPG, rather than a really pretty and nice-sounding (though the music isn’t quite there) and very well-running one. It just lacks even the charm of latter-day D3…

You’d think so, right? And I think it’s true for a lot of people.

I mean, it’s the very definition of a “Saturday Night Special”, so “real gun” is perhaps strong language, but certainly it is a 9mm pistol capable of killing people. Probably cheaper than a lot of prop guns at $239.

I don’t think a dude who is waving a gun around in the street and headbutting women with a helmet, whilst on video, is getting bail. There’s no doubt he’s a violent criminal, the only real questions are, when’s the trial (if he doesn’t plead out) and what will the exact sentence be.

Yeah there are a ton of improvements here but no changes to what makes D4 fundamentally tedious and uninvolving as an ARPG. It’s like you have a broken leg and yes they put bandaids on all the scratches and cuts and gave you two ibuprofen, but they didn’t splint it let alone put it in a cast and aren’t going to any…

Was it? It’s not funny. Just sounds like a whinge.

That’s ridiculous. Cole is based on a real person and looks far more like the real person than the ridiculous Chad version. It looks like dogshit if you actually Aaron Staton looks like:

Also - the thumbnail is of a FACIAL SCAN, so the original is actually what the guy looks like, whereas the other one some ridiculous Chad’d up version.
