Agreed. This isn’t professional sports where you give a ring to the guy that was injured in camp and put on IR as well as the guy cut after the second game and the guy traded away at the deadline because “they contributed to the team”.

It’s not a Bethesda game if it works right on release day.

I fully expect to see self-driving cars in the next 10-20 years, but I doubt Tesla will be the one to get there. There reliance on huge data sets full of bad data makes me think they aren’t able to properly sort this data into good and bad pools. Running a stop sign could be a clever computer using knowledge of the…

Dunning-Kruger would say that it’s the bad drivers that think they’re good while the good drivers don’t think they’re anything special. 

While I don’t know where to get data on fatalities (news reports will sensationalize fatalities from autonomous vehicles just as they do from ecstasy), autonomous vehicles are involved in over twice as many accidents per million miles driven as regular cars. So that statement about being safer is dubious.  

Is that why word today told me “a FDR” is wrong? Which is clearly wrong because I’d never write “an False Discovery Rate”.

He’s talking about intersections without turn arrows for the left turn lane, but in LA (and many large cities in CA) people just sort of go if they saw the light green at some point when looking up from their phone.

I understand the “reasoning” behind these sorts of things, but if 3 cars go on the red, they still have to wait for the through traffic to stop. Maybe the through traffic guy decides he’s running the red because he’s a sick and maybe he feels he only missed the green because the cross traffic 3 cars held him up. Now…

They could always A) put a left turn signal in or B) ban left turns without signals (SF has many intersections where lefts are illegal during busy traffic hours).

Red light cameras with progressive tickets (warning, $100, $250, $500, $1000, suspended license) doesn’t seem like much of an undertaking.

Destiny has a story? I couldn’t tell from the first game. 

The prequels should be remade to not suck. There’s plenty of material for three interesting movies that don’t include Jar-Jar, mediclorians or whatever, or focus on politics of the galactic senate. Unfortunately Lucas made boring drek instead. 

People keep saying different gameplay, but that doesn’t change whether something is a remake or not. Is Fallout 3 not a sequel because it was completely different gameplay from Fallout 1 and 2.

I think it’s easy to forget that all the maps for GTA III, VC, SA, and IV fit into the GTA V map. The graphics between III and VC were only modestly improved (they were great at the time but are really basic by today’s standards). Also the stories of III, VC, and SA are connected, which is why they’re a trilogy.…

GTA V does have real estate you can buy and those open up additional missions, but the payoff for those missions and the weekly income is pretty weak. Also the missions felt too much like grinding to be fun for me. VC also had property and you could make real money just for owning everything, like a boss.

Likely reason Sony did less for PS3 owners than PS4 owners now is that PS3 games had their weird cell architecture that meant they’d have to make 2 games instead of 1 game and turn down the settings. 

The odd PS3 architecture seems the big issue last gen. This gen it’s not a thing, and probably never will be again. 

Getting a PS5 took some time hunting (missed one at Walmart after their electronics clerk said they’d be first come first serve at opening, but the manager at opening said if they’re in the store they’re for sale, so they were already gone), but got one through direct, which seems like one of the more fair systems for…

By next year there will probably be 30-40 million units sold, and most PS5 exclusives are 2022 or later.

That’s why they had to charge more this year, to pay for the extra development that put the paid ads into the game…
