I have worked in software development for over 15 years at this point.

You’re so, so wrong.

Stinger GT2, top spec trim, same engine as the GT. I highly doubt anybody was going to assume otherwise given the context of this article.

I haven’t, got it a bit late to try any snow driving. This coming winter I’ll take it up to the mountains for skiing and snowboarding, though.

Yeah I’m not going to try and claim my ‘99 E36 M3 was very nice inside but I’ve been in other modern mid-level luxury cars and the Stinger is as nice or nicer than anything else I’ve sat in at this level.

You really only start getting clearly “nicer” interiors when you start moving up to the ~$65k+ level and even then…

It gives me a small kick of joy every time I walk away from my Stinger, hold the fob up and click the detonator button dramatically while walking away without looking.

I did not expect I would be trading my ‘99 M3 in for a Kia, but two months later and I would never go back, I love my Stinger GT2.

I have a GT2 in that same blue color. It’s an absolute blast to drive and is insanely comfortable as well, including in stop-and-go traffic (the radar adaptive cruise control is magical for this—I don’t know if the GT1 gets that).

Very different shift knob though, but GT2 with AWD so I guess trim-level differences...

I was watching that episode last night, before I went to bed.

The first thing I saw when I woke up was the news of his death. I started crying immediately. I’ve been gutted all day long. I’ve never felt like this after a celebrity death.

I have a very similar blue (with ivory/brushed aluminum interior) Stinger GT2 AWD. Absolutely love it and cannot say enough good things about it as a fun, powerful daily driver. It’s as fun on an empty curvy road as it is comfortable and relaxing in a traffic jam.

Every person I’ve seen who said this hasn’t actually read as much fantasy as they think they have.

I’m not saying Malazan isn’t good, it’s just not as good as you’re implying. There’s a lot of amazing—and better—stuff out there.

I’ve always figured when I do get married I’d take my wife’s last name (as long as I liked how my first name sounds paired with it) since I don’t really care to tie any children I may have to my father’s side of my family (and, to be honest, I think it might be fun to not have that name anymore).

Those who know me know…

Yeah Guy #1 has some real shitbags for friends.

One of the central creators of the game is pretty openly racist and misogynist.

My mother read the whole series to me and one of my siblings when we were very young children (4-5 years old) (before moving on to reading The Lord of the Rings books to us).

Very interesting looking at it through a progressive, actually-historical lens now.

I already uninstalled the game. It’s janky and uninteresting and many other games do similar stuff much better.

I’ll spend my time playing actually good games.

Lots of good points being made in the comments about why this is stupid and this guy is grasping at straws, but they are all missing what really matters about this story: this dude is complete trash as are all streamers who heavily promote skin gambling and other such things. So fuck him.

Having got all the way through the tutorial portions into what seems like the open world, you are 100% correct about your observations, good and bad.

I quit playing today after it was giving me the lockpicking tutorial and I literally ran out of lockpicks for the tutorial without ever successfully picking the lock and…

“Creators should consider the consequences of their statements and the actions of their audiences?” he asked on stream yesterday while reading Twitch’s new guidelines. “No, no, no, no. You cannot have both. I can watch what I say; I cannot watch what my community does. Are you fucking serious?”

Wait, you didn’t just climb to the top of the walls and look down and find the good stuff that way?

Two ideas (I might try these myself) for things to do to waste their time:

1. Report the crimes (and then describe the illegal alien) from the Men In Black movies. Be convincing, keep them going right up until you start describing what the perp looks like inside their human disguise.

2. Read off of a script the infamous…
