2200BC - ‘Here’s the reasons I won’t be buying a horse’ - all the people who were used to walking everywhere before horses were domesticated.

AOTD? I can die a happy man (as I’ll clearly never escape the greys...)

My sole reason for not having an EV is because I rent my home, and I’m not paying $2500+ to install a charger just to have to pay again to have it removed and installed elsewhere when I inevitably move in a year or two (trying to buy a home in the not too distant future).

88k for an EV? ok but have ya’ll considered that E-Bikes are EVs and are way less. 3-5k for a top of the line ebike!

Even 250 miles will get you to the outer bands of a hurricane, which isn’t nearly as bad as the epicenter. And if you heed warnings and forecast, you can easily be out of the area before it hits anyway.

The Financial Sense one made me laugh out loud. “It doesn’t make sense to sell a paid off car when I usually ride my bike”

Wow. makes sense! Until you keep reading... In addition to the WRX, he and the wife have:

Maybe a couple Sea Doo Sparks. I’m selling a boat trailer at the moment, it’s almost 1,400 lbs unloaded. But anyone actually concerned with towing range isn’t thinking about 1,400 lbs. You can pull that with a sedan.

Every time I read a story like this, it feels malicious. Like some one deliberately added the charge out of boredom or something. 

People getting their money back doesn’t change that the game itself, from the beginning, was an odd scam that was never going to deliver on it’s vertical slice, hand-made “gameplay” previews, and blatantly mislabeled genres that were hastily changed after release. 

Everyone who *requested* a refund got one. I'm willing to bet they made a pretty profit off the people who forgot to or didn't know they could get a refund.

I just hope the game is a learning experience for consumers and for a lot of the media (not calling out anyone in particular here) who were painfully slow to catch onto how much of a transparent scam/grift this was.

Will we though? You’d think gamers would have learned that lesson after Cyberpunk or Anthem or Fallout 76 or any other overhyped piece of shit game with a flashy trailer ever since ET on the Atari. Hell, we’re probably less than a month before history repeats itself and we’re right back here after Kotaku writes…

The truth is clearly somewhere in the middle so I certainly wouldn’t go all the way with what Jerykk is saying, but come on, it’s not like his post said Corps are our friends lol

Sigh. Can we stop pretending that corporations are our friends? Consolidation at the level we see from these huge companies is bad.

You also just spend significantly more time like, talking to people and having conversations, getting to know the characters rather than “4 lines of exposition that leads to you killing a bunch of people and blowing up a silo or something”. There’s a lot of really memorable quests in 2077 and I honestly don’t think I…

That’s a bit reductive. Cyberpunk has much more complex level design, as well as expansive melee and hacking systems (as of 2.0). Its environments are far more dense (in terms of interactivity, structures, pedestrians and traffic). It also has dialogue trees, skill checks, speech checks, a fleshed out loot system with…

Cyberpunk was originally 316m, RedDead was anywhere from 370m to 540m. Not sure where you’re getting your numbers and say RDR2 cost less of all things.

I don’t know what game you played but you sure as hell aren’t describing Cyberpunk 2077. 

There is a pederast mimicking my username in the grays. It has a disgusting comment history and has at various times mimicked other users on Kinja.

I’m just glad she’s safe.
