The M156 family is probably my favorite engine ever, and it’s a shame that it was basically in just a single generation of cars. 

To be fair, the GT went with the turbo 6 because of the packaging restrains of those flying buttresses and aerodynamic considerations. 

I feel exactly the same way. Having someone ELSE who knows how to make movies adapt MGS or Death Stranding? Absolutely. But trusting Kojima to do that himself? No thank you. He should have been making smaller budget stuff to hone his film making skills for a long time now, not just jumping into the deep end with a big…

It’s on Gamepass for PC, so I’ll be downloading it out of morbid curiosity. 

Playing on PC and I’ve experienced just a single bug. One of the characters got stuck in an airlock door in a lying down position, basically phasing halfway through the door. Simply going through the door to the outside to trigger a loading screen fixed it.

My wife and I use CP and AA in our Mazda 6, and it’s been flawless for the last 3 years. And Mazda is NOT known for their infotainment prowess. 

Even Uconnect from FCA/Chrysler/Stellantis kicks the shit out of whatever GM has. 

No idea why you’re still using Apple maps, but:

I never really agreed with Clarkson’s assessment of its looks, but those wheels and that color of the wood is absolutely heinous. 

You must be using the SHIT out of your PS5. I’ve had mine for just over a year, and until last month was playing daily. My original (and only) Dualsense works just fine, apart from the shitty battery life that it came with. 

Counterpoint:

They’re not selling them. The “delivery” event was a handover of some prototypes on manufacturer plates that people paid to get. 

Yep, I checked the NHTSA database, and the last Tesla on there was tested in 2018.

Biggest way to upgrade your coffee game at home? Buy a Chemex. Seriously, $50 and you get SUPERB coffee. You don’t need a kettle. Just boil the water, then let it sit for about a minute. I would recommend a scale for consistencies sake though. I use about 50 grams of grounds per liter of water. Find some good fresh…

How is it insane? Look at all the first party studios that Sony controls. Insomniac, Sucker Punch, Guerilla Games, Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studios, Polyphony Digital. What do they make? Bangers. Sony has some serious anti-consumer tendencies when it comes to hardware and their ecosystem, but one thing they do well…

Yeah, the Tesla stans take that autopilot shit literally. I had a dickhead boss that would get drunk at the casino and pass out in his Tesla while it drove him 2 hours home. 

The problem is that it unwillingly conscripts the REST of us into the beta test as well. 

if Bungie’s sci-fi MMO keeps failing revenue targets, Sony could dissolve its existing board of directors and take full control of the roughly 1,100 person studio.

And this is part of why the PS3 was so damn expensive. Yeah, it was a game console, but it was also the most powerful home theater device for the price, especially if you took advantage of the Super Audio CD and hi-res audio (88khz/24 bit) capabilities. When you look at it that way, it was actually really cheap. For…

Towards the end of my PS4 journey, I ended up modding my DS4 with a bigger battery and a USB-C port. Cost me a grant total of $35 and about an hour of time.
