Definitely curious how this will go. For the “western market” this probably isn’t all that interesting. For developing countries with great internet but where PC hardware is a massive investment, I’m sure it could be really interesting. I’m most interested in how it’s received in China, where I’m assuming the fact…

Just wanna throw it out there that if you like this kind of thing, the best way to get more of it is to make sure the creators get paid. I *know* there’s some folks out there thinking “$6K/month, they’re living large!” but even for two people + associated other expenses, $6K/mo, depending on where you are, can be…

I *loved* this book as well, and for anyone who’s even got a passing interest in Newey or F1 in general, it’s definitely worth the time.

I didn’t like it the 1st two years post-Clarkson/Hammond/May, but I’ve found the last two seasons, Harris/LeBlanc have some good chemistry, and the writing often feels less forced & formulaic than it does either with the latter Clarkson-era seasons or TGT. I also like Rory Reid - he seems like a kind of everyman…

Sega America didn’t do any internal development at the time. So there was nowhere to put the folks working on this game. We ended up working in a windowless storage room that smelled like rat poop, because ... well, it had been a windowless storage room for ages.

I wish. My job was implementing the script logic and doing a little bit of facial animation scripting. Our producers flew down to LA for the day when Mr. Nimoy did his VO. I did, however, just by way of repeated exposure, at one point know every line in the first 5 “chapters” of the game by heart, and could respond to…

Awesome! Seaman was the 1st game I worked on. You couldn’t comfortably work on Seaman, either.

For me it was, “Who is Richard Mille?” only to find they were exotic-car-priced watches.

Thanks for writing this. As a 42-year old half-Japanese half-Finnish guy who grew up & lives in the US, I’ve never been at home in Japan, and definitely not in Finland, either. Growing up, the questions were always “what are you?” since ethnically, I wasn’t easy to recognize, and had a weird name.

I’m grateful that my…

I honestly couldn’t care less if F1 got slower. And it’s not because I don’t love F1 - it’s because I do, and have since the early 90's, and for waaaay too much of the time between then & now, the actual racing has been garbage. The less reliant cars are on aero grip, and the closer together they can get, the better.…

Dumb question, maybe, but let’s say you do all the things you recommend - you review your vote, you make sure you did everything right... is there *any* reasonable way to ensure that the machine doesn’t just arbitrarily switch your vote without giving you any indication it’s done so? If there are people screwing with…

I know it’s the car to beat, but it’s odd that the Taycan is comparing itself against a five year old car. One of the problems with something like this is that Porsche’s forced to shoot where Tesla is, when they should, instead, but shooting at where they’re *going to be*. Classic mistake. Did they not even see that…

Purosangue is the most up-is-down doublespeak bullshit name Ferrari could possibly give a Ferrari SUV. I’m not a “brand purist” about much, but I can’t help but imagine you could power a LaFerrari competitor with the amount of spinning Enzo is doing in his grave.

For me, I’m torn. On one hand, I admire that they’ve stuck with it, and tried to right their wrongs. It’s shown an impressive amount of dedication, and when someone makes a mistake and then works to correct it, that kind of behavior should be rewarded.

That said, I bought the initial release, and *despised* it. Like,…

I think one of the things that’s never really discussed re: McLaren-Honda is that a team isn’t just the sum of its parts, it’s how well it all works together, as a team.

Honda’s a typically Japanese company. McLaren’s a very odd auteur-driven dictatorship. Or was, at least, under Dennis. While those two management…

For folks whose responses are, “It doesn’t matter...” it *does* matter. It may be one of the *only* things that matters. If you say, “Look, the ethics of a person doing business are a part of whether I will buy something or not,” can and will change how businesses operate.

There’s a hundred and four guns in Destiny 2

One big reason the GTs look worse is that they’re significantly taller. Look at the front fender flare, right above the wheel. And in the rear. The gap between the flare & the character line? That gap exists all around the car, making every feature have to accommodate this extra inch or two in a way they weren’t…

Goddammit. This is a spectacular team-up, but “Make Rhythm-Action Great Again” made this a non-starter for me. I realize that sounds extreme to a lot of folks, but “Make X Great Again” is, at this point, a symbol of racism, tyranny, and fascism. It’s hard to divorce the phrase from the current political climate, and…

Lightspeed’s pop-up shades are *incredible*. The mechanism to put ‘em up & tear them down is absolutely brilliant, and the quality is top-notch. Highly, highly recommended. We have a slightly different model, but absolutely love it.
