I usually try to avoid commenting unless I have anything useful to add, but I’ll make an exception today. I just wanted to say: Jesus motherfucking Christ.

IMO, good racing is always about a lack of fuel. And tyres.

Bollocks, Torch. Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks.

I agree with you in pretty much everything. I wish that there were more cars with supercar looks and “aspirational” prices (even if the performance is sacrificed). Something one could dream of buying after saving up for 20 years. The real successors to the NSX (and to the Esprit) is the Evora, like you say, and the…

Look into traffic flow simulations, and consider for a minute how your actions actually affect others.

According to Google, the Supra Turbo cost $42,800 when new in 1994.

European here: Anything above 2.0 l is “big”.

I would spend a significant amount of money (if I had it) just to be able to have a two-car garage consisting of a La Ferrari and a Le Car.

You’re either vastly underestimating the cost of logging all that information or overestimating the value of storing it. The information is available in the sense that they could theoretically collect it if they wanted to, but that doesn’t mean that they do. I guarantee you that Kotaku does not keep track of how…

“Stark argued that evening the playing field through luck is a poor plan to make newer players feel successful and enjoy the game”

I think that most people don’t take offense by Papers, Please. Bureaucracy was thriving in the eastern bloc, and Papers, Please satirizes this quite nicely.

Many of these games do not aim to portray the “reality” of the place in question, but rather to portray some stereotypic view that we all have of this place.

Torch, did the gallery related to this article get eaten by Kinja at some point?

I know that this is created as a fun piece of reading and all, but I frequently have to interact with people claiming that “hurr durr there is no innovation in the car industry other than Tesla”, and this line of thinking is precisely why.

I haven’t realised this before, but Trump’s skin does remind me about the “rich corinthian leather” you would find in shitty American pseudo-luxury-cars of the 1970s!

I haven’t got a clue, honestly. I might like this if I can get over the boy band characters, but I might not. The thing is that I can’t really pay any attention to a review which seems as anchored in nostalgia as this one.

I don’t know. I never played FF at home either, just tried it a few times at a friend’s place and honestly never found anything special about it.

I might have. I’ve never played any JRPGs, but I was discussing with my gf that it would be nice to have a new game to be amazed by now that we’ve finished The Witcher 3. Final Fantasy looked like it might have been ambitious enough to fill that void.

Don’t get me wrong, though, I can completely understand getting bored with a car after a few months. I only drive my car maybe once per week, and hardly at all during the winter months, so that helps in my case.

This post made me feel insanely frugal. I bought my only car (‘90 Miata) for about 2,500 € (so maybe $3,000 at the time?) three years ago, meaning that even if I total it in a crash it has cost me way less than 100€ per month. If I sold it today, it would probably have cost me maybe 10€ per month including…
