You missed the EJ22, and the Frankenstein mod of putting the EJ22 heads (along with some ECU and wiring hacks) on an EJ25 for higher compression and horsepower.

I witnessed people who RP’ed things like schools. I must admit, I don’t get the appeal. Would you indulge my curiosity? I can’t help but wonder what is so compelling about pretending to sit through classes, and partake in other activities that most people would consider incredibly mundane. I suppose I understand in…

It hasn’t gotten any better. An ex of mine was hooked on it, because it allowed her to be a misanthrope in the real world, and still feel like she had a life (which is why I always say Second Life is for people without a first one). The “RP” is...super suspect. I’ve never seen people so sold on their own stories.…

Subaru would like a word with you...

Uh... Second Life has less than 40,000 concurrent users most of the time, worldwide. That’s anything but “crazy high” amounts of users. Even with that low a user count, the client and servers are constantly slow and crashing. It’s as slow and buggy a codebase as I’ve ever seen out of a “game”, and I’ve been a backer of…

No, I’d still say it about more lifelike avatars. It’s not the presentation, it’s the concept. This is essentially discord with higher system requirements, with a little of second life sprinkled in. If people want to be social, Discord is the platform of choice for non-text communications. Now, board games and games…

He won’t bite. It won’t fit in his back yard.

Joe has been letting insane and horrible people on his show for the longest time, under the guise of everyone getting a fair voice (despite never seeming to give genuinely good people a voice). The problem is, he never stopped to consider that when you invite in people you know are saying horrible things (eg- Nazis,…

Of COURSE! Taxes were too high for us to have any money to fix this bridge! We should cut taxes, so we can afford it!

Cue the Qanons saying this was a false flag to gain acceptance of his spending plan in 3...2...1...

My comparisons to Second Life and VR Chat were deliberate, because of what happened when the public was turned loose on them. Second Life got Something Awful users invading with flying penii, VR chat got racist kids and Ugandan Knucles everywhere. In the end, the latter become pointless, and the former was let go by…

I mean exactly what Dr Bob said. When I think of VR Chat, I think of 12 year olds shouting racist stuff, and Ugandan Knuckles. Just like when I think Second Life (other than chuckling at the memory of realizing that no one that plays Second Life has a first one), I think of the Something Awful Flying Penii invasion.

Exactly.

There’s plenty of things in VR worth developing, we’ve just shown that avatar based chat isn’t one of them. I’d rather have Johnny Mnemonic style VR, than a bunch of legless bodies, or people using furry avatars, spouting an entire room’s worth of babble at me - and I suspect at least for now that’s the opinion of the…

Didn’t we already realize Second Life was a bad idea? Or VR Chat? How many companies are going to try this same experiment, hoping it’ll yield different results?

I have fond memories of my Mongoose FS-1 as a kid. First generation of freestyle BMX bikes, back in the 80s. MASSIVELY heavy compared to today’s equivalents, but more sturdy than most modern mountain bikes...

Walmart sells Mongoose too, and they’re just as bad as the Schwinns they sell. None of the old names mean anything, anymore...

Gee...that’s sure gonna make people shell out a thousand dollars for a basic cruiser.

Ye flipping Gods, can he not though? I feel like he’s single handedly dumbing down the entire staff writing for Jalopnik...

If it makes even one person give up the game, and stop posting those stupid colored blocks on Facebook, I’m all for it...
