The game was a love letter to Central Oregon from the developers that lived there; the setting and characters are spot-on for the type of people there, unfortunately so is the dev’s comment. I’ve been to most of the places in the game, hiked in the forests, gone to see the waterfalls...it’s done much better than most…

There is NOTHING special about the food at that place, but the view is pretty sweet. What you don’t see in that view are all the meth tubs hidden back in those hills; there are people that live up there that will put the very best of the deep south up to task. 

Between the wind, rain, winter snow, and Hood River being built on the side of a steep hill; you learn to drive pretty good in adverse conditions.

It was pretty green when I drove through last week.

“that it’s hard to just drive it in 2 hours and not spend 4-5 extra hours gawping.”

I’d hate to be the facilities manager that has to keep that robot barista functioning....give it two years and it’ll be repurposed as a coat rack.

There’s a lot more that do. Never trust a Russian. 

Take away the first line and it’s an astute statement, add the first line and now you’re just another fuckhead.

Absolutely! People suck and not having them interfere is wonderful.

Don’t steal. If the owner of the game doesn’t want to sell it, tough shit for you. Nobody owes you anything nor do you have any right to play something, if you want control over something then go create it. 

Get a better job chump.

Wife’s CrossTrek drives great with the CVT, so did her model before it. That whole “OMG the CVT is soooooooooooooo bad” narrative is beyond tired. 

This right here. I’m buying a WRX GT within the next year or so, but just finding one is going to be the hardest part. 

“Even in the US, which is frankly a waste of space at this point”

Boring is outside of Portland headed toward the foothills of Mt Hood. They tend to get more wintery weather than Portland proper gets, studs wouldn’t be a bad idea out there. Though snow is less a problem overall than freezing fog and black ice, that’s a constant all winter. 

Well...at the very basic level business is run to maximize profit for shareholders blah blah blah We all know that, you SHOULD know that based on this wonderful piece of paper that you haven’t quantified in the least, so why is ANY of what you pissed and moaned about a surprise in the least? Big business boy should…

“This article is a history lesson that massively misunderstands the history.”

“I’m glad that people are finally realizing how awful Activision and Bobby Kotick are.”

“Unfortunately, those people looking for cheap dipshit fun were the main audience for the wrx of yore, not responsible adults like you”

Everything about this makes me smile; faster, nicer, and aimed at people other than those looking to brrrrrrrrap around like dipshits. Dark blue with the GT trim please, I’m even looking forward to the CVT.
