Mama told me not to come.
She said, that ain’t the way to have fun.
probably half the range of an EV
Many EVs have ~250 miles range. I need a quarter of that in usable winter range for my commute. If I could get an EV with 125 miles of advertised range (about half that in winter) for a third the price, I’d do it.
It’s not going to replace my road tripping car, but it could replace my commuter, which needs very little range.
We have them at the mouths of canyons, and canyons are beautiful and desirable to live near.
It’s also great for grocery getter cars where total range isn’t super important. Current EVs are ~250 miles range and top out around 300-400, which is insufficient as a gas replacement for road trips but overkill for a commute or around-town car.
There are a lot of use cases for something inexpensive but technically inferior.
A lot of households, like my own, have multiple cars. We have a commuter (50 miles round trip) and a family car. We use the commuter for most trips around town (only commutes 2x/week), and the family car for longer road trips.
I don’t need a car that can do both, I just need to replace the commuter since that’s where the vast majority of our driving is.
Don’t try to solve the hard problem of putting charging stations in the middle of nowhere, solve the easy problem of replacing that second car. For that, sodium-ion is more than sufficient. Focus infrastructure improvements on apartment complexes, workplaces, and shopping centers so people who don’t have a garage can charge.
About tree fiddy.
How to turn your laptop into a desktop with this one, weird trick! PC makers are furious!!
I actually use a T-Mobile MVNO, so I don’t have experience with their customer service.
They seem to have the biggest variety of options for resellers, so if you like the coverage but not the customer service, you have options.
Maybe. Or maybe we’d have less selection but more approaches to solve the same problem. That’s not great because it means games would be less approachable since they can’t borrow what works well.
I think software patents in general are stupid. The implementation is often obvious when looking at the end product, so the whole point of a patent (socialize information) isn’t relevant. The work to build it initially also isn’t particularly large for most things, certainly not to the level of pharmaceuticals. So the only purpose of a software patent is to block competition, there’s little if any social benefit to granting the patent.
Lol.
But T-Mobile is less bad the other telecoms. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
Seems like a video game version of playing H-O-R-S-E in basketball: you need to make it from behind the hoop, with your eyes closed, and while hopping on one foot…
Isn’t this just user-created achievements?
As a teen, I was into law and computers, so I wanted to be a software patent attorney. Partway through my CS program, I did some FOSS work and realized just how awful software patents can be.
I don’t understand how anyone can actually make software patents. What kind of person can get far enough into a software career and not realize how utterly evil they are?
DDLC has something similar as well.
Inscryption
Yeah, it’s technically a deck builder, and that’s the gameplay loop throughout, but it’s not a rogue like deckbuilder like Slay the Spire (well, it kind of is at first). But it plays more like a puzzle game than a deckbuilder, but it’s not quite a puzzle game either.
But yeah, that’s the weakest of the bunch, and I only added it because Pony Island by the same dev is on there (which is technically a run-and-gun?).
Both have a popular genre at the forefront, but the game really wants you to look past that at what’s developing behind the game. And that’s what I think makes them unique. Labeling them as “deck builder” and “run-and-gun” don’t feel appropriate, despite that being the core gameplay loop.
So, is that just a remake of Oath of Felghana? Yeah it’s almost 20 years old, but it’s also already a remake itself.
Edit: Apparently this is a Switch game, so it’s getting localized for the Switch in western markets, and I’m guessing a bit of a remaster from the 2005 version. Still cool.
Yeah, I agree with most of those. Some of my favorite mentions from that thread:
I’ll add:
And kind of the opposite, but I’ll list a couple of abstract genre games:
Sure. I’m just saying storage doesn’t need to be overly burdensome. I just toss mine in a box and stick it in a closet. And if the drives die, you have the disks.
What is “handheld” here? It doesn’t seem like the Switch counts, and I doubt Steam Deck does, so is this this the old handheld-exclusive consoles like 3DS?
Also, it’s sad arcade is so small now, I loved arcades as a kid.
It’s not that big, the cases are much smaller than DVD cases. Each case is 12-13mm wide, so on a typical shelf, you could fit >60. You can easily make them two or three deep, depending on your shelf.
I just stick them in a box after ripping them to my HDDs.
The article specifies a JD Power study, which is an American institution. Seems obvious enough…
Probably just celebrating Canada Day.
Btw, happy 4th of July to my fellow residents in Canada’s Pants. :)
I’m celebrating both holidays this week with family (brother married a Canadian), and am not playing much. But I have been trying a few new (to me) games here and there:
Anyway, I hope everyone has had or is having a wonderful holiday. That goes for you even if you’re not American or Canadian.
