The wheel wells stick out in the Honda through the trunk bed and the sloping hatch limit the space, so the Outback wins space wise by about ~10 cubic ft. Comfort and feature wise for the year (this was 2012) they were comparable depending on trim, but I managed to get the V6 in mine, and the H6 Outback version -…

Thanks, I’m always grateful for positive reactions on the internet. I will say that the best thing about unpopular cars is that they tend to depreciate in near-magnificent terms. I would never have bought one new, but 10k less a comparable-age-feature Subaru Outback trim is ridiculous.

While there is some justification for a Fit EV, I think it would compromise too much on battery space vs range unless they redesigned it for more room/size/cost.

Speak for yourself, I love my Crosstour. Drives like a Tall Accord and has lots of room all over the interior. 

I don’t tend to pass judgment, my thoughts are just an observation on human life. People want to share, even if it’s not very useful or insightful, and even if I were the biggest hypocrite in the world, it would still be true. It’s just that I would also be making it true, which makes me look bad, but still does not…

I think you’re reading into it and getting defensive. I never said I was excluded from the common masses. There is a reason I don’t review, because I don’t have many original thoughts either.

Reviews don’t need to be anything, but then again, the need for things that are constantly repeated in aggregate also by inference don’t need to be expressed. Hardly anyone or the ideas they express by literal definition is special. It’s just that people tend to think that’s the case before they express something. The…

The implication is that most people are not in any significant way original but are pretty likely to think they are and express themselves as such. It has nothing to with what they do for a living.

They are unaware that their input is not as original as they think. 

My reasoning behind this is that responsibility develops last in the brain as they reach adulthood.

I have a few thoughts on this.

Juzuo the drunkard dropped my unseen aid percentage to 12%. That's the last boss I beat.

Not at that skill level yet, nor am I at mid-range bosses. I’m still very much struggling with the earlier ones. 

That sounds great, but I just looked it up and it’s for a skill tree I don’t have yet, as I am still struggling with the early bosses. I’m already holding block when I can, but I still get a hit a lot.

I’ve been going back to Hanbei regularly. His applied training is effective, but only teaches one real pattern which I have down now. I go back and fight him occasionally anyway, but it’s the variable dynamism of the bosses that I am now struggling with. 

The main problem with failing deflect to blocking is that your posture takes a huge hit which affects how boss fights play out. I’d rather time this right but I can’t tell if it’s me or the hardware that’s making it tough for me. 

The deflection timing is what frustrates me the most right now. I was never that good at parrying in Souls no matter how much I practiced it - with a ton of repetition I managed to figure it out mostly for 1 and somewhat for 2 and 3.

By all means, it’s not originally mine but I think it bears repeating occasionally. 

I got a good deal on a manual c7 because the dealer was struggling to sell it. Most of the people in that demographic I see sharing what they bought seem to have gone for the auto. C'est la vie. I will note that the plural of anecdote is not data but I'm almost certain the sales numbers would back me up. 

Interesting. I know that Dark Souls dialogue was all recorded in English and subtitled out for Japan. Is this whole game going to be in Japanese and subtitled for English speakers?
