The acceptance in the car scene seems to be such a weird hot and cold thing. Nobody in my local MINI club has cared one bit, but there are so many other groups locally that I would expect to be utter douches about my gender identity.

Speaking as one of the few trans women that regularly posts on this site, allow me to clarify. Caitlyn was always Caitlyn, so when referring to her accomplishments, be they the olympic medals, the Wheaties box, this race, it is proper form to refer to her by her chosen name and correct pronouns. It isn’t considered…

As Jalopnik’s resident crotchety trans woman, let me just stop you there. If you were trans (pretty obvious you’re not by the answer you chose), you’d have room to talk. You aren’t, so sit the fuck down.

If you want to attach Boomer credit to the massive technological increases that Gen X has created upon the foundation of computing you lay claim to, then this is all building on the work of Charles Babbage, or the ancient Greeks. Modern racing sims have as much to do with what Boomers created, as what Boomers created…

For me, buying a vehicle like this is all about whether I can trust its condition - which 9 times out of 10 means trusting the owner. It’s not clean, no. It’s old, yes. It has more miles than anything I’ve driven before, yes. But it also has the service records - which, unless there is something super bad in them (and…

More metal than rust, maybe? That would be an improvement... Look at the driver’s footwell. This thing has been FLOODED.

Well that doesn’t look too....oh wait...that front seat is probably trashed I wonder if.. SWEET INDIRA GANDHI’S THONG WHAT DID YOU ALLOW TO HAPPEN TO THAT ENGINE BAY?!

CP at any price higher than a new tetanus shot.

I dig the colors on this chair, but having sat in an Aeron I got as a christmas gift a decade or more ago, I could never sit in these for long term computer/gaming work. They just aren’t as comfy, and they recline at entirely the wrong spot. For this price, you can get a used Aeron in great condition.

Even below the top performance levels, arguably mostly below the top levels (because top level players respect skill a lot more than casuals - as is evidenced by nobody getting up in Sneaky’s shit for his gender bending cosplay), the harassment ruins the game for women, and even more so for trans people. I wrote a…

If that were remotely true, there wouldn’t be ranked play without full premades in any game.

Not gonna lie, I skipped most of the article because I don’t care about internet drama, but I wanted to comment on the point Steph failed at making.

For what it’s worth, they’re non-binary, so “he” is the wrong pronoun. Fuck yeah on the Steven Universe movie thing though! I didn’t know that!

That’s pretty dope, but on a more upbeat note:

I’m probably going to spend a good part of the weekend building and enhancing an enclosure for my new 3d printer, so I can bring it in from the garage, and print without worrying about the fumes and microparticles. That new legend in Apex looks kinda fun, so maybe I’ll load that up for a bit to check her out at some…

I’ve had someone to play with for all of about 20 minutes since I started playing. It’s totally not as fun as Warframe was, when I had a regular group to play with.

Honestly, Brink wasn’t a terrible game, objectively. It was basically Star Wars Battlefront with different models and abilities. Its real failing, in my eyes, was what it was pitched as. We were all expecting Battlefront meets Mirrors Edge, and we got sliding and vaulting, and really....nothing else that the preview…

I’ll never understand why auto manufacturers don’t just switch to Android Auto and Apple Carplay. They could save a goddamn fortune in development and manufacturing of their infotainment systems.

I’m always willing to listen to what’s been added, and see what the players say about it, but I’m definitely not spending money on anything Destiny related before finding out it’s worth it. I made that mistake with Brink, so unless Bungie really proves there’s something worth paying for, my wallet stays closed...

I think one of the nails you hit square on the head for me is the story lines. As someone who did all my 90 hour a week binge gaming in the 90s and naughties, I have no illusions about being a rockstar in Crucible, or Trials, or ever having enough friends online at once to see a raid other than on YouTube. What really…

I had a ton of fun with D2 over the last 6 months or so since I first played it. Bought the campaigns, a season pass or two. Then this season came around....and....here, do this thing that’s not very specific and comes with no instructions but feels super grindy.

Nah, I’m good. Maybe next season they’ll have learned…
