It’s crazy how some publisher/dev heads have come out in recent years to say that live-service elements are a must for sales and bottom lines, yet

By making more great games? It’s a formula that has worked for decades, even for R*. 

hand-wave hand-wave hand-wave, I’m going to say that Bill the prepper retrofitted his truck (the S-10 in question) with an engine that can run on basically crap. He was more or less ready when everything started so that he put himself in position to survive, so I’m going to say that his particular S-10 is going to do…

How it hell is lifting up 5 gallons of gasoline, balancing it on an plastic tab against the fuel filler hole and then PUSHING DOWN considered safe in any way. I spill much less with my “unsafe” older gas cans. 

The best stories have an element of truth in them.

FUCK safety spouts. God!

I don’t know about 20 years, but I do know that my 5-gallon can of gas that I use to top off my lawn mower lasts for three or four years before I need to fill it back up.

Also, safety spouts can piss right off.

I must be lucky, because I use the same old ass gas and my mower starts right up after a handfull of pulls. Then 1 or 2 pulls every mow after that.

All good stuff, but one other note. All of those different things that different women want? Sometimes the same woman wants different things on different days (and sometimes different things on the same day). It all boils down to this mantra: Communication is sexy.

I’m paying for my son’s college tuition, room & board, car & car insurance and health insurance. Why should I need to pay for TWO accounts while he is away at college? He’s part of my family.

When every studio and publisher has created their own platform and we’re expected to buy a subscription to all of them? Yes.

Copy and pasting the same non-sense over and over doesn’t make it right or true. It just makes you annoying.

Cost to buy and drive for 10 years:

EV’s already make sense from a price perspective.  It’s just that people automatically rule out vehicles like the Leaf and Bolt because they are econoboxes and they don’t actually care just about price anyways.

Is this Facebook where grandpa is spouting whatever BS some random Fox News talking head told him to think? JFC I expect a bit more from a site dealing with cars. 

Seriously?

This is an anti EV thing that AEG’s been pushing for years, even Jalopnik’s sister site has an article debunking this https://cleantechnica.com/2021/10/26/about-that-scary-evs-cost-more-to-fuel-study-not/.

Yeah i just filled up our ICE (RX400h) and at 25mpg and $4.70/gal it’s $0.19/mile. Just the ICE number sounds suspiciously low. You’d need to average 30mpg at the US average of $3.40/gallon which isn’t really representative of the ICE fleet (it’s more like 25 mpg)

the EV is running on $0.36/kwh and gets about 333…

Maybe they were looking at least efficient EVs in the most expensive electricity areas, and comparing that to a Prius in a cheap gas state.

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.
