“Capitalism doesn’t work without checks.” has been my biggest takeaway from basic econ. It always finds a way to run itself (and the people dependent on it) into the ground without regulations.

I think it might make sense for them to merge with Hyundai Motors/Kia/Genesis/Ioniq. Hyundai is already a big EV manufacturer and for them, gaining access to the battery supply and battery technology would be good for them as they already have experience in designing and making EVs. At the same time, Tesla gets access…

I remember seeing the trailer for live-action Ajin and dying inside.

It’s got 600 lbs of extra weight in gear.

Cybertruck isn’t targeting the same market. This is a luxury offroad barge more comparable to Rivian’s offerings. Cybertruck is intended to be closer to an electric F150.

I also don’t get why it’s always a Katana every time. There are tons of cultures around the world but they always choose the same things. Even purely in Japan there’s a variety of weapons to get inspiration from, let alone the hundreds of weapons within Asia, and thousands around the world. Cyberpunk would be great if…

It’s likely that what the Model S Plaid has is the new tabless 4680 battery cell and what we’re seeing is actually a test mule. It would make sense considering the late 2021 release date, increased range, faster speed (increased power output), and the ability to turn more than 5 corners at speed (which means better…

Give me a Monster Hunter version of this and I’m in.

You will eventually get tired of the game, but I think the issue with us vets is that we’ve simply played it for too long. 2000 hours in game is more than enough for a free game to spend your time on. While for new players it’s practically endless content. I have massively enjoyed the time I’ve spent in the game…

1st: This is why Tesla is pushing to manufacture their own batteries. They get control of their situation, no licensing costs, and don’t have to deal with outside legal stuff like this.

I would’ve put Into the Spider-Verse over Homecoming. Homecoming was really good, but Into the Spider-Verse was that much better. It’s style, soundtrack, and (re?)characterization of Spider-Man and the usual cast of characters are so fresh yet familiar. I’m willing to bet it’s going to have a much bigger cultural and…

Having watched Ghost in the Shell (1995) and GitS: SAC before PP, PP was a letdown. If you like sci-fi, cyberpunk, and detective-crime series, watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (2 seasons) instead. I would not recommend the live-action movie (very shallow in comparison) and definitely not the Netflix…

“Lootboxes, but for closed beta access.” is a bad idea in general. Weighing it more for people who’ve watched more wasn’t going to change both streamers and viewers wanting to keep streams on for as long as possible. The numbers go up, the subs and donations go up, because viewers want a chance at that access. And str…

Comparing this to BLAME!, Knights of Sidonia, or the upcoming Human Lost - all by Polygon Pictures - just makes this look so disappointing. Polygon knows how to make sci-fi 3D anime work really well (besides their self-imposed framerate restriction). They can do really complex GUIs that GitS is filled with. This…

The upgrades aren’t limited to a Model 3 motor, inverter, gearbox. The biggest change is arguably the upgraded active suspension system which provides a much better ride than before (according to Roadshow). There’s a lot of minor changes to efficiency all around the car that nets them a claimed 10% increase to 370/305…

Though I support the view of legal channels, I feel like a lot of this falls to how well Hentai Haven marketed itself vs Fakku. The name was not only way catchier but they even made their own slick animated intro (with sound effects!). It worked so well the site itself became a meme. Combine that mindshare with how…

I saw it in person and found out I liked it much better in pictures than in real life. The amount of blocked space on the grille is much more pronounced in real life.

This has been my barrier to entry, too. I can’t stand tall keycaps and large travel, which is why I stick with chiclet.

Sometimes I wonder if it would’ve been better for the Supra to be a Toyota hybrid. It’s a flagship car, and they have the chance to try someting different in a new model instead of sticking both foot into nostalgia. This would’ve given them a means to step out of the I6 image and have people at least judge it on its…

“The idea that the vehicle even needs to understand the terrain around it in 3D is absurd.”
