I love that this stupid thing looks like it was a rendered by a pre-3dfx integrated GPU.

Or provide the extracted and processed lithium to build the requisite batteries in the first place. Even if every single environmental standard was dropped and every mine permit fast-tracked to commence work tomorrow, the only way this planet will produce enough lithium annually by the time the decade is out is if a…

Amen, exactly what I wanted to see here. A developer being “blindsided” by the abrupt cancellation of a Google project is like Sam Sheepdog being shocked that Ralph Wolf would attempt to swipe a sheep.  

I don’t really understand the Galadriel hate, either. I mean, I don’t especially care about her character and wouldn’t have minded if she didn’t feature in the series, but her portrayal here seems more or less on point with what one might expect of an ancient immortal who was born the granddaughter of two of the three…

Is Pharazon “main cast”? Because that actor has him down to a T, he’s in line with my pre-existing image of him to an extent I haven’t seen since Lee’s Saruman.  

The son lists multiple prior cars that have rusted out on the guy, meaning he’s likely either in New England or the Upper Midwest, which in turn suggests he’d also be extending pops an open invitation for ride requests for five months a year.

Beyond Good and Evil was the last AAA game released for $40 MSRP on the PS2 in 2003

I had a HS English teacher thirty years ago who was convinced that The Adventures of Baron Munchausen would have a post-release second life revival on par with The Wizard of Oz, so if he’s still alive he should be pretty happy he may have ultimately been right...

For starters, how about every single FDA-approved medication that has ever been the subject of class action litigation? There are several dozens to choose from, including many that resulted in nine- or ten-figure settlements/judgments. Oh yeah, the plaintiffs can also sue the prescribing physicians, the hospital or…

How about starting by asking for a copy of the rental agreement and reading it, or is that too big an ask for America’s Dumbest? Or they could just continue to allow themselves by to weaponized against innocents by Karens and cynical, lazy corporations and constantly drain their municipalities’ scant resources via…

Yeah, well, law enforcement automatically “believing” a complainant and acting without performing an actual investigation is how you end up with shit like swatting causing the deaths of totally innocent people like Andrew Finch and dozens of others. I know the whole “thinking” thing is tough for pigs, but if they…

I actually envy everyone who hasn’t seen a Malibu MAXX, it’s bad in pictures but it’s a full-scale assault on your eyeballs in person...

I said I meant no offense and phrased it as a question rather than acknowledging it as an established fact, what more do you want? But yes, truly, I’m stricken to know that I lack the approbation of a random dimwit I’ll never meet.  

No offense, but even for an out-and-out Pollyanna, you’re kind of an imbecile, aren’t you?

Ah, yes, the old “rain follows the plow” pearl. It’s too bad for them that you weren’t around to tell the Axis powers to just go gin up a new source of petroleum on the fly when their own sources proved insufficient, surely the Invisible Hand would’ve provided better than coal liquifaction and horses had it only been…

Totally, and while you’re knocking out that seventyfold increase in worldwide annual lithium production by 2035 like it’s no big deal, can you please put in a request for an orbital ring for me at the same time? I’m just glad it’s the same polity that sagely chooses to use its scant water resources growing alfalfa in…

Knowing Sony, I feel like there’s a non-trivial chance that Bablyon’s Fall will be next month’s PS5 game for PS+ subscribers.

Hilarious. If projections are adjusted for recent governmental mandates in all the largest car markets re: the contemplated prohibition of ICE engines, by 2035 worldwide lithium demand will likely approach 7M metric tons annually. In 2021, the total worldwide mine production of lithium was 100K tons. There’s next to…

Many of the the writers on this site have, for years, considered the average cookie-cutter Ubisoft map game to be the Platonic ideal of modern gaming. This is the same rag that claimed that Immortals: Fenyx Rising was one of the best PS5 games available, into the Year of Our Lord 2022, and published probably hundreds…

I mean, it is the same party that only fifteen years ago managed to install Denny Hastert as Speaker, second in the presidential line of succession. Despite being half-orc, Cheney looked like St. Francis by comparison.
