if you count tweets individually they might

kind of surprised this isn't in the game as an easter egg tbh

Also the placement of the eyes suggests this... thing has predators. The implication is terrifying.

Would you rather it be a predator?

If an individual state like California wanted to try it, that's a different story.

I'd argue the shift happened when exotic hair colours became a thing in the real world more than in video game characters that have the hots for the self-insert

how you came to that conclusion about death stranding. not trying to be argumentative, genuinely curious

My eyes are twitching at red faction slander, I would have picked gears of war myself.

It's not technically the first but it is kind of vibes based the first cover shooter, at least in a way that it started an entire genre of offshoots. Historically relevant I guess.

I don't even dislike Guerilla but having played it a bit recently it just doesn't hold up. The destruction physics are really good and especially for the time that was insane work but outside of that it's a very, very 2000s brown shooter.

I have a vague recollection that the marketing was aimed to appeal to that type of player to then deliver the twist later or something it's been a while.

yeah but it's like far cry 3 levels of botching your satire imo

Could've been Wolfenstein (2009) for all it's worth, allthough that has decidedly more colour.

Just the first one that came to my mind as the mid 2000s white bald stubbly guy with brown and piss filter on it that just has nothing else going for it. Red Faction Guerilla ticks all the boxes but at least that has an impressive physics going, even if it doesn't manage to prop up the rest of the game. FEAR 2 rides the coattails the first ones before they really nosedived it with 3. But Haze? What's the saving grace for Haze?

EDIT: I'd say Uncharted, RDR and TLOU are regularly called blockbuster games (positive) but I think they should be called blockbuster games (negative)

I never finished Half Life because there were too many "where the fuck do I go/do moments" which might be a skill issue but whatever.

the original? That still has a lot of remnants of doom / quake / wolfenstein find the keycard or press E on this one thing in it honestly

 

I want a cargo bike for obvious reasons but also so I don't have to buy a second car for the snowtime. I'm fine with suffering through the cold and muck but even with spikes the freeze-thaw mooncraters are simply not doable on 2 wheels.

Unless you buy something really expensive, i.e. "could buy and keep a beater car running for quite a while" money, so many of them are limited to 100kg on the seat. I get they're all unisize and there's quite the leverage on the seatpost going on due to this, but fucking 100kg MAX? That's well within "normal" BMI weight for tall people and not exactly terrible far off if you pack on a few pounds. or like want to use a backpack.

 

I am forced to drive a car by the enviromental factors and also me voting the "force me to drive a car" party at every election

don't @ me about vooooooooooooating

 
 

sort of a follow up to my dortmund post and then I swear I shut up about this but c'mon man. It's 26°C fucking degrees and the trains stop.

 

the elites don't want you to know this

 

The funniest argument and the reason I share this is that since the utilities company that provides the tram service has a ratified goal of becoming CO2-Neutral eventually, they've elected to not buy ACs since they'd consume about 7 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and ACs aren't sustainable. I assume the 50°C tram is gonna be a big hit as per transportation in the upcoming summers.

 

Everything political in the game otherwise is ironic nihilism except for

spoilerHauzmann, who is an unironic nihilist and as such at least one of the funner characters, albeit not exactly interesting

Except of course at every opportunity everyone including your own thoughts and the narration keeps bringing up that the explicitly in-universe End of History is untenable bollocks. That's kind of a funny bone to pick.

 

I do most of my trips by bicycle obviously, but for anything requires hauling lots of shit or people I own like a 30 year old station wagon. It seems to be on its way out so I looked for a newer one and they either all suck or seem so clapped out I might aswell try to keep this baby going. Is that really the only options? Like I look at reasonably priced SUV and sure it seats five but the amount of cargo space available I might aswell buy 2 compacts and rip the seats out of one or whatever.

Also bonus questions what the fuck, does nobody use their cars for anything but personal transport and maybe some groceries anymore?

the arc of US history is long and confusing but it apparently the inevitable end result is pardoning aremoved and honestly, yeah, probably

 

Pictured here is a Musketier Radkutsche because it's one you could buy as a consumer, everything else with this config or similar - i.e. space in the back - is mostly those last mile logistic cycles and you can only really get them on a B2B contract.

This here fits an euro pallette in the back and has about ~200kg give or take maximum cargo load given a rider on the heavier side. pricepoint is ~6000€ upwards on account of they hand make this in the south of germany because seemingly nobody wants to do a factory for cargo bikes.

Over the similar in idea longtail cargo bikes that are loads more common this has the upside of giving you a flat, stable base to work from so you can throw on a big box or a café or whatever, like this:

 

did you know your run of the mill internal gear hub is only spec'd to 50nm? Gotta buy like a fucking Rohloff to get that up to 130nm. ride derailleurs if you want that fat ass
