I haven’t seen an optometrist recently, as the pandemic / quarantine / general state of everything has kept me away from all but the most crucial doctor appointments. I still absolutely stand by my statement. The Ferrari looks worse to me. And i am perfectly happy with a car that i like looking at but isn’t…

The Volvo is a better looking car between the two

Sometimes it feels like you put stuff up here for us to just no dice it into oblivion

Snow tires and socks. Choice picks for things that need to touch the ground

I am all here for a box truck RV conversion! propane heater is the kinda obvious answer I was ignoring because it (a box truck RV conversion) is a bad pick for what this WCSIB write-in is looking for. Propane heaters are great until you run out of propane at 2 am and it is below freezing out. I would be interested to…

The problem with box trucks like this, especially for the purposes of “traveling ski lodge,” is that the cargo area is unheated. Getting that big box to insulate properly and then pumping heat into it isn't impossible, but it's a taller order than most would want to take on. Used RVs of various sizes are plentiful and…

I’ve loved Miatas I've owned, so Mazda. My current '90 has 253k miles and still going strong. I have a few friends with newer Mazda 3 and 6s and they've all had real good success. Honda, toyota and hyundai have all treated my family and friends pretty well. Fuck Subaru and Jeep. Particularly the engine…

Vangelis’ soundtrack is such a standout, spectacular part of the film and is so crucial to the whole tone. Great pick

It’s definitely a great thing to hop back into for a run here and there. I vastly prefer the developer’s next game, Into the Breach, but FTL is a treasure

I bought the vinyl record of this soundtrack a few years ago and it was such a great purchase. It’s a double LP, one LP being dedicated to the chill exploration music and the other to “battle” music. Love the soundtrack, still never actually beaten the game...

Lol I’m poor and young and only one car I’ve ever bought had less than 150,000 miles. It was a 94 Miata and probably my rattiest car. My current car (90 Miata) was purchased with ~230,000 miles and I’ve put 20,000 on it in about two years. Everything else has been in the 160-190,000 mile range. And the only one I…

“On paper this might sound terrible. In practice, it works incredibly well.”

Your money goes into their back accounts after Sony’s year-long platform exclusivity check clears.

Oof. Not a big fan of stances? They’re one of the best things about the games’ combat system. And it’s also good that you can largely ignore it if you want to and use one stance. The equipment is the hurdle for most folks, with the game adopting diablo’s loot system more or less wholesale. Each item has a ton of…

Western Mass is an inferior car-culture region. We have too much rust and bad roads for cool cars to really thrive. You do get younger folks into tuners and stancing, largely as a result of the many colleges in hampshire/Hampden counties. But then those cars scrape and bottom out regularly on the shit-ass roads…

I know there was some sort of Windows support for PowerPC-based processors in the past (like early Windows 3.x up through the NT kernel) but don’t know enough about how it all works to really dive into technical stuff. the Xbox One and now Series (S/X) are basically running the PowerPC-based 360 CPU through…

I wouldn’t exactly call Sony “reluctant,” but there is no compelling reason, in their view, to spend a large chunk of money so a relatively small percentage of players can play PS3 & earlier titles on the PS5. Building a PS3 emulator on PS5 would take a massive effort that the company has deemed unworthy of. I wish…

Oh for sure, although the stuff they’re doing with some 360 games is still downright inspiring. And the 360 is based on the PowerPC architecture, so there is some serious virtualization going on with getting those games running at speed (and far above 360-spec on the One X) on an x86-64 based CPU

Xbox's commitment to backwards compatibility is absolutely commendable, and the work they do for One X enhancements and now Series X/S enhancements is nothing short of incredible. Especially when almost always this stuff comes with zero original developer input

Look, I’m not trying to be a fucking Herb, and i disagree with a lot of business practices of online publications, but your conspiracy about sites being paid to write content by the game’s publisher and then not telling people its paid promotional content is unfounded and unnecessary.
