And that’s why EVs aren’t the answer to everything. Reducing use is absolutely an essential part of keeping humanity in existence.

Well, yeah. Tesla Fanbois seem to think that electricity comes from the air or something. Elon’s got them convinced that there is no impact from their EVs.

Battery swap station? What the heck was that guy thinking? Tesla gave up on that one a decade ago. But the “investigative journalist” wrote about it in ‘22? Kinda seems like the dude went looking for a negative article, and didn’t realize how easy it is to do that with ‘ole Elon just based on current events.

You can change your load out when you restart at a checkpoint after dying. Also, whenever you restart at a checkpoint you are fully resupplied and repaired.

Sure it is better, because you can be intelligent in how you change your loadout.

From what I’ve been reading, it’s more of a, “if you’re bashing your head against a boss, you’re doing something wrong” sort of thing.

glad this wasn’t a slide show

If you can’t afford a new car, you effectively don’t exist to automakers

Let’s also not forget that dealers shot themselves in the foot with the ADM antics last year. Hell, up until ~May this year, the Ford dealer nearest to me was still putting 5k markups on non-GT Mach Es, and 15k markups on the GT variants.

It’s not really a secret that most car dealerships don’t actually like EVs. They need a lot less routine maintenance and repair than ICE vehicles which means dealers lose a lucrative source of revenue. They also require infrastructure that dealerships largely had to pay for. It’s not really a surprise that they are…

Yep. I have a garage but I cannot afford the electrical upgrade and I certainly cannot afford a new car... we live in interesting times.

“The dealers have pointed to a lack of demand for less-than-affluent customers”

Same thing, different seasons.

I got back into it in Season of the Seraph. Blew through Lightfall and the Season of Defiance, hit Season of the Deep running and then tripped, fell and decided I was really bored already.

Doesn’t hope the friends that get me into it always bail right as we’re past the “grind” and can…

I got out during lightfall.

Couldn’t agree more, its one of the worst states D2 has been in, in many many ways.

I agree that the vitriol is mostly unwarranted, but the state of the game is far from fine. They've been phoning it in for ages now. And PvP folks have been completely ignored for ages.

Because they’re not treating this like different versions.

Honestly the whole thing where they’re not including the different versions in the home release is kinda horseshit. You can have randomly-selected chapter swaps on a bluray to swap out chunks of a movie with random alternate versions, so you better believe that shit’s possible on streaming. 🤨

This has been a somewhat ironic situation for me.

This (at least the most recent leak) wasn’t speculative stuff, it was finalized content for next season of the game.
