I just don’t want to be navigating while going 200mph. The big goofy arrow barriers are part of the Burnout experience, and Paradise not having them to keep me on track kills it for me.

Also, I embrace Takedowns, but reject Traffic Checking. This is the way. It’s all about the tiny pinpricks of light in the distance rapidly becoming metal walls of death. If you’re not in the oncoming lane, that’s not Burnout

I think Hot Pursuit played more like Burnout than Burnout Paradise for me.

Although the series peaked at Burnout 3.

Something something Jews controlling the weather with chemtrails all praise Trump.

His old one was very similar, but a darker colour so we called him The Fall Guy.

Or rather the few of us in the office old enough to remember that show did.

So do a lot of other governments, to be fair. It’s one of those industries that employs a lot of people, and it’s always bad press to close it when a bit of money could have kept it. Certainly cheaper than putting thousands of people on benefits.

Plus there’s subsidies for domestic sales as well. The UK at least had a grant for plug in cars that they ended a few years ago, presumably just to get the infrastructure up and running.

But then the new vehicle price is neither here nor there in the long term, since most people drive used vehicles anyway. What matters is how many vehicles trickle down to the masses, and whether wear on the battery is a concern. Some of the early smaller models didn’t have great batteries to start with, but as a daily driver to the shops and work it’d probably be fine. For some reason the conversation always drifts over to “but what about that one time you drove across the state” or “remember that time you transported a fridge”, as if that’s something people can’t work around for the once a year they do it.

Oh no! The type of capitalism where we have to compete!

Make it go away, Daddy Trump!

My boss in the UK got one. In bright red. It looks like he’s driving a fucking fire engine.

I’m unconvinced they can find a replacement for him that touches the nerve of all those hateful loons at once. Who are they going to have? JD Vance and his eyeliner?

The next election they’d play the “Do it for Him” card, but I can’t see them queuing round the block to vote for anyone else. They voted for Donald because even in their politically sheltered lives, they’d heard of him and seen him on TV. As somebody who watched Boris Johnson rise to power, it really is as fucking dumb as that.

They should put it on gofundme.com

I’m surprised it isn’t just Elon typing really fast at this point.

Wait, New Zealand’s top export is evaporated milk?

And cover your damn face.

It’s just a shame it’s such a half arsed VR conversion. Way too much UI going on for my tastes.

I just can’t get into it. I can see there’s a progress path of stuff to do, but it feels like there’s grind to get anywhere.

I was on an EA boycott for a while without even realising it. They just stopped making anything that interested me.

Only broke it for It Takes Two and Split Fiction, which I paid full price for. I did play a few Respawn games as well (Titanfall 2 and the Jedi games) but got them either as part of PSPlus or Humble Bundles.

No.

Yeah, it seemed to be for a time when controller support on PC was shit.

I use it on mobile. It’s mostly OK tbh, and the addition of a working ad blocker means it’s far better than Chrome for me.

In fairness that is an invalid URL in my book, but it should at least be consistent across desktop and mobile, or at least tucked behind an option.

You’re an original Xbox controller kind of guy aren’t you?

From the PS4 onwards they did at least acknowledge that most people don’t have tiny child-sized hands, and that most consoles are bought by adults.

Yeah, I couldn’t get on with it at all. Most games are designed for a right analogue stick, and not having one just kills it.
