“Eidos we like the games where the sneaky man shoots robots and steals things plz make more”

This is just wholesome as heck, i want a “send nice message” button for my car!

I’ve only ever driven 2 Chevys: an ancient Impala which was okay in that classic floaty land-yacht way, and an HHR, in which the electronic assist was so numb it felt like I was only suggesting the steering, and visibility was slightly worse than in a Bradley IFV. I wouldn’t pay for either experience again, but I…

My guess - based on nothing - is that most Merc and Audi owners lease and were ineligible for the survey, and those who bought weren’t happy with their massive depreciation?

Only 73 percent of (Lexus) owners would definitely buy the same vehicle again.

I’m waiting for the Gizmodo article fetishizing the technology they used for this; the Root article about how noticing her mistake is racist, or fixing it is racist, or how letting Alicia Keys play instead of running a 52 minute beat poetry drop by a collective of Harlem performance artists that nobody who isn’t on…

On the one hand, slathering a single bright color on everything the player can interact with has become a shorthand so omnipresent that I think developers just do it thoughtlessly now.

Let’s say our two companies here are Tesla and Ford. There are more companies involved, and I don’t know if Ford buys credits from Tesla, but this is just an example.

Implicit in this coverage, but not actually stated, is that carbon credits are completely fake. Which should be obvious, but bears repeating.

Weird minigames! Microtransactions! Invasive copy protection! Yves D. Guillemot, the king of spiked cupcakes, attained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to other publishers:

It doesn’t say how they’re all linked up, but no way even a fraction of the total horsepower survives to the chain, either. unless there’s like fifteen tiny diffs or a bunch of itty bitty timing belts, most of the work from each one is going to just slam into the next one, right? It just SOUNDS like torque grinding.…

Jesus. Our tax dollars at work.

Personal experience: the hatch lock on the last-gen Kia Sedona (and perhaps most minivans, I don’t know). The lock works by a motor, wired to the fuses and controls through the door and roof. So far so good, but this motor doesn’t move lock parts - it operates a mechanical toggle that moves a control rod that runs…

For comparison, that money will easily get you a last-generation US Focus, plus all the service the Dealership didn’t bother doing first.

This game has a reputation mechanic now? Crazy.

Warmbo would fit right in at modern AV Club, sadly.

So would you say people who play this deserve to be in prison more or less than people who play Genshin Impact? Or the same amount?

I worry that, given the frigid reception to the movie on release, that version of the character may have a chilling effect on future engagement.
