Luke,

Oh hooray, nudity!

AUGH!

I appreciate your input on this. It worries me when gaming sites can't seem to muster up a writer with racing sim experience to try out new racing games. A little bit like the racing wheel reviews that Kotaku has been publishing, where I suspect that the reviewer hasn't even tried using manual gearbox mode.

Not to mention that if you want to be a bit of a simulation snob, you can argue that no major, serious driving game has ever even been released on console. Sure, I like the GT and Forza series, but I'm not sure I'd call them 'serious' driving games. Not in the sense that the majority of players take the racing…

I know, I'm not defending the model's existence, simply stating my prejudice against those who buy it.

If you want the social status that you think comes with owning something with a Porsche badge, but you have no interest whatsoever in sports cars?

I think that you just outed yourself as having the tiniest dick on Jalopnik. But that's fine, we love you anyway.

Is it your GTV in your profile pic? Such a beautiful car. I'm currently torn between getting myself a GTV or a newer GT.

That's fair, most people don't. But Alfas are cars for people who value beauty and personality over reliability. People who think that cars are 'boring' or lacks 'character' if all the gauges are working when it's rolled out of the factory. You might judge an Audi by its boot capacity, but you wouldn't do the same for…

And yet, since you’re using ‘Alfas’ in plural, he presumably kept on buying them. The greatness of an Alfa isn’t measured by the quality of the interior or how many weeks it will last from new before falling apart. If you judge an Alfa by the same standards you would judge a Ford or a Toyota, you’re definitely not one…

It amazes me how many comments there are like ‘the leather doesn’t look good’ or ‘the stereo looks cheap’ or ‘that LCD display looks tacky’ or ‘look how impractical it is’.

Are we sure he’s not just a Magic the Gathering fan?

Hmm, I'm no Saab enthusiast (here in Sweden, they are the second most boring choice of car you can make, after Volvos), but isn't the common consensus amongst enthusiasts that the cars lost all their characters when they were pieced together by stuff from the GM parts bin? Add to that a poor reputation when it comes…

When it comes to kids, nononononono. No. But maybe if the society in the future is more tolerant of trans people, it will be easier to endure for those who have to spend some time pre-op. Or maybe we'll even figure it all out from a psychological perspective. But even if that were to happen, you'll have the same issue…

Is the industry switching, though, or is it just growing faster in the direction of casual gaming than in the direction of enthusiast gaming? If we cathegorize 'hard core' games as opposed to 'casual' games, the total production budget for all hard core games currently being made must be several orders of magnitudes…

In the end, I guess that as a society we should offer the treatment that has the greatest chance of making people happy! I'm pretty confident that at least today, gender reassignment therapy coupled with improved attitudes against trans people is by far the best method to make them feel good. But the question of the…

Aw, thanks! It's 2am over here, and I'm usually trying to refrain from writing things at this time of night. But you bringing up xenomelia resonated with me.

Oh, man, I actually spent last night sleepless thinking about exactly this.

But that's fine. I'm a car guy. I like cars. I like driving. I like working on my car. The vast majority of car owners aren't car people. They don't care about anything than getting from point A to point B alive and in relative comfort, and most car models being produced reflect this market. Yet the amount of…

All in a day's work, madam.
