I’m oddly fascinated by “not a remake/remaster” statement and I suspect some Playstation and Switch modders are probably currently salivating because of it. You see, Stubbs was the only other game built on the poopy “Halo” engine that was written by some insignificant little company. . . Bungie, I think it was. . . ?…

I know I’m just shouting into the void hear but:

How about Nintendo stops with fucking stupid trinkets and lets my wife and I have our own damn islands on our shared Switch?

Oh they’re almost certainly functional. It’s just that heat management isn’t the reason.

Primary purpose of fender vents is relieving pressure that builds up in your wheel wells, especially at high speeds, both from the rotation of the wheels and any air ducted in to cool the rotors. That pressure’ll actually generate an amount of lift, which is why your front end starts feeling “floaty” as you start…

Side benefit, maybe, but fender vents are about aerodynamics and relieving pressure from the wheel well.

Alright, who wants to tell him?

Lemme be that guy:

Every time you’re in the liquor store in Japan, it feels like you see a brand you’ve never heard of before, that has no providence and no history, but somehow is Japanese whisky.

MIT’s 3D solar tower array’s been around for a hot minute and shows a lot of promise. Just curious, outside of your neighbors/HOA calling for your blood, was this sort of thing brought up as an option when you discussed the system’s design?

And that’s my problem.

The Switch joycon stick module uses a couple screws and a ribbon cable. DIY is super easy with little required beyond patience and basic tool skills. The DS4/5 requires some familiarity with soldering electronics components, with the attendant equipment on hand.  It’s a bit much for the masses.

I bought one of the McFarlane Halo 3 XBox 360 controllers on sale literally over a decade ago. I still use it for almost all my PC gaming: no drift, no issues.

We’ve had sticks and wear down pat for a while now, at least since they figured out the droopy N64 stick, and I’m inclined to believe these current issues are…

That was my first thought as well, and is probably the winner for “Most Deserving.”

Just watched iFixit’s teardown of the controller. Ouch! The ‘sticks are still soldered to the motherboard so repair is not an easy proposition.

Hall-effect: good enough to control the go AND slow in your car, and push shit around in space.

Just curious: how bad was the teardown? I just repaired my (left) Joycon for drift and it was really simple. Adult-owned, largely lives in its dock (mainly used Pro controller), roughly two-ish years old, blahblahfuckinblah. The sticks are just crap from the factory and will fail, regardless on how much care you take.

O…

Sounds like time for some civil forfeiture to me!

I think because the Grom, and to a lesser extant Z125, are the French bulldogs of the motorcycle world.

And from a realistic standpoint, there isn’t a better platform for an EV than the inner-city terror machine. The short range and low top speed won’t matter, and you can roll it through your front door to charge…

Bringing joy. Also wheelies.

(‘Murrican perspective inbound.)

I’ve heard the RX-3/4 are shockingly solid (all things considered) and I dig the DIY/Right-To-Repair ownership model. But yeah, that little bike’s second-cousin to the Amazon specials that “Bikes & Beards” mine for content. I’mma pass as well.

CSC is already looking to sell a Chinese-made electrified Grom-alike.
