I’m wasn’t really here to argue what’s realistic or not, but now out of curiosity I did an apartment search in Austin as if I was moving to work there and there appear to be a healthy number of 1 bedroom apartments available for rent around the city for around $1000 and studio apts for even less. Living wage is meant…

so what you’re saying is that 24 million is so ... small? ... that it’s easy to lose sight of just how big the gaps have gotten? is that it? are you under the impression that 24 million in 2 weeks, being under projected, minimizes .. or is even germane to the point that making 24 million in 2 weeks is such a massive…

appreciate the meta-labelling of your posts

I worked at a developer that made a videogame called Jersey Devil for the PS1. They got letters about that. (Mind you this was Quebec, and they’ve always had an outspoken anti-secular contingent, more so back then.)

buwhahaha. Electric “solo guitar shredding over electronic beat = epic” is a lazy shorthand staple of videogame music. Not that it’s a “terrible” per se track but it’s awfully generic to my ears.

Not really appropriate to compare a videogame track written for a specific game to an actual legend status hip-hop anthem that appears on a videogame licensed tracklist. (And I say this as a dude who played the hell out of Street vol 2 and loved the tracklist and soundtrack.)

That is indeed dope. It perfectly walks the line of “videogame music” and “actual funk”. I appreciate that the scratching sounds like actual cuts and not a the sort of sampler patch of baked “scratch sounds” capable of instantly obliterating the credibility of many a videogame “urban funk” track.

I would give anything for somebody to do a modern remake of Rock and Roll Racing (isometric perspective intact)

This has got to be made for city driving.

the government is choosing to spend people’s money on something they might not necessarily want or ever use

The “operator” is not the person pumping the gas. The operator is the person maintaining the pumps (and watching other people use them) as there are far more moving mechanical and serviceable parts to a fossil fuel pump system and dangerous ways of using them that can require direct intervention than there is to an EV…

The goal is to encourage adoption. First adopters are generally those with the most discretionary income as economies of scale and commoditization of market have not occurred in sufficient amounts yet. While they can afford to fuel up, it’s in the public interest to make their investment as reasonable as possible. So…

I’ll pass this along to our team (I was one of two audio programmers) and the sound designers will be chuffed by your positive feedback. I can’t comment on specific technical details, but your appreciation of the audio realization is appreciated!

bummed enough to sign a petition? yes, I’ll call that deranged
