It is a pretty old auto. If I’m not mistaken, it is a similar unit to what was found in the Lexus IS from the early 2000s. The gearing is also not ideal. 2nd gear ends at around 66~67 mph. For the manual, 2nd ends at just over 60 mph.

Watching the livestream reveal and seeing John Cho baked out of his mind was interesting. Not sure if he is regretting his life choices at this point, or if nobody told him he had to get on Skype. The whole thing was awkward. But I got to sign up to see the first 2 episode early.

Yea, the first few sequences are not good. Once I get past that, I feel like it starts to work.

I played it via Game Pass since I would never have bought it.

Makes sense. I can hear Mark complaining that the software is incomplete, the touch interface is unintuitive, it drives sloppy, and for the price the power is inadequate.

I’m confused by the wording of 1st Gear.

Yup. It is about allowing existing AMG products to exist in the face of EU regulations.

Direct Storage will be nice in future games when it is the architected into the game engine.

Complicated? Once you do it once you will realize how simple a process it was. Just count your lucky stars you aren’t having to build an entire PS5 from scratch... although building PCs is really fun, so I hope this could be a stepping stone for PS5 owners to get into PC gaming.

I wonder if there is a business case for this design or something similiar on an EV platform. Maybe Mercedes wants to share the new EQS platform, like they share their AMG parts. I assume we will start seeing tons of retro-EV designs in the coming decades.

Basically this. I’ve seen loads of F-250s towing horse trailers and boats, but most F150s I see are pulling uhauls, jet skies, and trailers, and are likely going 50 miles or less, round trip

“RWD: 58.0 kWh battery with a 160kW rear motor yields 167 horsepower”

Great! Can’t wait for people to start racing these things down crowded streets before striking a bunch of cars and people and all 9,000 pounds of mass causes unimaginable destruction and death!

I’m assuming it is as easy as turning on your VPN and switching IPs. If they put a file in your directory labeling you a cheater, the user can probably just swap some folders off a storage drive and they are good to go. A 5 minute inconvenience at most.

Waiting to see more about the Lucid Aid. I think that will be the one to get if you are in this price category.

I got a 3700x about 6 months ago and have been thrilled with it especially at 65w and it hovers around 70C on the stock cooler. However, I never get close to maxing it out since I am GPU limited with RT turned on at 1440p. In CP2077 I think my CPU sat around 30~50% utilization, which is great knowing I have so much…

I’m in the same boat. I think many of Kia’s current offerings are attractive and distinct, but the EV6 is bland, especially from the front. The taillights are trying really hard to save it, but it isn’t working.

I was excited for the ID.3 and ID.4 until the Mach E was revealed. I think Ford and many potential EV buyers would agree. Based on every review I’ve seen, the Mach-E is just about perfect for its price compared to the current crop of electric cars, with the only major issue being the public charging network. Also, it…

What made Audi bring back physical buttons? The Taycan is all touch screens. Likewise, all of their top-end products are switching to the lower touchscreen. Have their customers rejected this screen already, or was the car developed before it was ready?

Did they already reveal the ending? Mila Jonavich is the only one to escape, hitches a ride on the copter, only to realize that one monster still got through the gate and she runs and leaps into the air, cut to a close up of her blades glowing in front of her face, then the credits roll. Then the sequel is some evil…
