  • The game’s cheap but not the hobby

    Jump

  • People who play the more involved and serious sim racing games look down on it because (IMO) its the most accessible for casual gamers.

  • Thats why Gran Turismo haters can fuck off.

    I owned a ps4 already and Id owned Gran Turismo as a casual gamer before I decided to give sim racing a go. I bought a $200 used wheel and pedals off marketplace and built a cheap rig for about another $200.

    It might be "Simcade" or whatever elitist gatekeepy shit people want to say but my total investment to suck at simracing is $500. You can spend $10,000 and still suck at Iracing.

  • I am a huge car guy. Removing an engine MAKES SENSE to me, I understand on a fundamental level how to get the best out of an engine and drivetrain but if I have to do literally any custom wiring I farm it out to a spark wizard who can tame the magic pixies that run up and down the rainbow spaghetti. FUCK WIRING.

    While I dont understand windows "fundamentally" Ive also been screwing with it since 1995, it makes sense. Linux just doesnt to me.

  • Perfect choice of director..

    Jump

  • IMO the movies should be movies.

    Tone down the world building, the existential messages and social commentary and make something thats more accessable to a wider audience.

    Dont fuck with the show, the show is absolutely for all of that.

  • YouTube is so dirty for those ones.

    Jump

  • Also YT might be a soulless big tech giant with highly questionable ethics but they are literally a modern technological marvel with a how-to video on pretty much anything, niche and hobby content that "tv" and streaming would never touch and literally endless pure entertainment...

    They are not now nor have they ever been a public service. Frankly its a minor miracle that in this day and age that they have a purely advertising supported option for access.

  • "You know what would make this more interesting... MULTIBALL!!!"

  • GameStop CEO Says Games Are "Irrelevant" To Company Revenue

    Jump

  • And Ebay has been going to absolute shit for a while now. FB marketplace and Amazon absolutely gutted two of their core profit centers.

  • Google has shut down tenor's public API for third-party use.

    Jump

  • If you agree with this view: Why do you think societies should allow billionaires to exist? How does that benefit the common good?

    Jump

  • At "Billionaire" (or even hundreds of millions of dollars) levels of wealth the government should implement a different tax scale based on net worth. Simpler and harder to manipulate. An annual minimum tax bill of 1% of your net worth that cannot be reduced, offset, deferred or otherwise mitigated per billion annually to do buisness in the country, per country.

    Just stop them rorting loopholes. I think people would probably hate billionaires a whole lot less if they just paid a FAIR amount of tax.

    Edit: actually the math works pretty much all the way down. Everyone should have a minimum income tax bill every year of 1% of their net worth with the only exemption being your primary residence.

    Is McDonalds in America expensive and crap?

    Jump

  • All fast food is delicious when cooked with the fresh ingredients and exactly to the standards that they spent many thousands of dollars perfecting in their corporate test kitchens

    The problem is that the overcooked patties and the stale buns with too much ketchup and the wilted ass lettuce used by your local franchise and assembled by a 15yo who couldnt give less of a fuck ruin the experience. Thats also assuming you eat it fresh in the "restaurant" not after a 10 minute drive home at which point its fully congealed and the chips are soggy.

  • George Lucas (renowned creator of "Star Wars") to appear in the new Minions movie and has stated to be a "huge fan of the franchise".

    Jump

  • A New Hope came out in 1977... Revenge of the Sith came out in 2005.

    It is necessary for many, we just old.

  • What are some actors that can only play themselves?

    Jump

  • I have a love hate relationship with that movie for an interesting reason (IMO). There is not a sympathetic or likeable character in the whole thing.

    The only person who isnt actively dislikeable is Ed Harris and he barely qualifies as a character.

  • I hate that I love his work.

    Name another A lister that regularly takes high concept standalone Sci-Fi roles and crushes them.

  • He did a weird indie film called "The Nines" he can turn the chops on when he wants to. I find it hard to criticise those people because "Hey, want to earn millions of dollars doing this the easy way? Or you can go do some passion projects to prove a point and make less." Is a damn awkward spot to be in.

    Im sure we all like to think we would take the route of Sandler doing Uncut Gems, I love to think that was him just telling his haters to go fuck themselves. "Just because I dont, doesnt mean I cant"

  • Nah, Will does have range. Theres alot of reasons he is terrible but thats not one of them.

  • TIL that cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling products of all time. It cost nearly $1,000 per pill, even though that same pill cost just 25 cents to make

    Jump

  • You also arent funding the development of the drug that worked, but also the dozen that didnt.

    Not saying they arent predatory, just that the math of "The pill only costs $0.25" is a massive oversimplification.

  • Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not an Asgardian/Judge/Doomguy!

    Jump

  • Mortal Kombat MUST be terrible, I'll be mad when they make a good one. It's supposed to be an intergalactic version of a Jean Claude Van Damme movie from the 80s.

  • The ‘T’ is missing. It just says ‘R-U-M-P.’ It says Rump,” Melanie Petit told NBC 6 about a $640 watch she received as a present from her husband

  • Was it an officially endorsed product or just some other grifter cashing in with cheap Aliexpress 3rd party merch because NGL, I thought about doing the latter.

  • What is a hobby you'd love to get into but cant for what ever reason

  • The storage requirements are the real killer, cars become 3 times larger the moment you start dissasembly.
