BMW triggers me....hard....

It's less of a head spinner than going into a brand like Toyota

But the majority of this actually comes from a talk I did with a guy called Wolfgang Utecht. He was the one responsible for the development of the Mercedes E-Class in 2004 and we talked a bit about this specific topic when he was up here for a summit from Shell about urban automation

Nah, it mostly triggers me because I love BMW coupês, and I own a couple of em (new and old).

Utrecht, btw, is a cool guy. I heard him talk at a conference couple of years ago in regard to what "industry 4.0" (that terrible buzzword) means for the automotive sector in Germany. Was might impressive.

Look at this well oiled machine that churns out content consistently quarterly when other MMOs can have year long draughts. It is a trainwreck because their database is a mess and they rather spend time making new content than making it easier for us loving idiots to play dress up

In a normal and sane world they'd just do both. :shrug:

I'm not saying ff14 is bad or anything, but we both know SE has enough money to funnel into ff14 now to fix most of this bullshit, and they don't because bugfixing and qol enhancements doesn't generate as much cash as content so they see it as a complete waste of budget.

The new Zelda is good, yeah, even though it suffers from bad frame drops in certain places. :argh:

Unfortunately, reality is it's worse than on PC, because plenty of games still run like poo poo and you can't even buy better hardware to fix it, lmbo

CIG just made $6,000,000+ dollars in one month after not releasing anything for 1.5 years, blatantly lying to backers about progress, and scamming them with moon land in a universe that doesn't exist.

They ain't goin' anywhere.

If your rent is £300 per month and you've been earning £150-£250 each month, you'll be eating away into whatever savings you had to keep your house. If you suddenly get a Christmas bonus of £600 one month, that doesn't change the fact that for the past 9-10 months you've been operating at a loss (especially if you have a loan repayment due immediately after you get the bonus). The $6m isn't a sign that all's well, it's just a temporary reprieve.

I tried the trucking thing in Elite, even calculated routes with some online tools....then found out about HazRes, Conflict zones and in the latest patch tourist stuff and made much, much more that way.

Maybe I'm just too stupid to truck, that's totally possible

you can make good money with trucking, en par with haz res if you account for ammo/repair time, its just a matter what you prefer.
what keeps me off trucking is the NEED for external tools, since in the grim darkness of the far future there is no internet to plan things in my spaceship.
But of course as soon as i so much as look funny at an innocent that flies straight through my tracers the entire galaxy knows im basically hitler

This "mmos are really expensive to run" is a myth perpetuated by the industry to get you to pay for subs so they can make more money. Just like lootboxes and "games are getting more expensive to make" (games have been getting cheaper to make for big companies like EA for like half a decade now).

I only have the WiiU version, so I have not seen how the Switch version runs (not buying a Switch for one game), but everything else I've tried other than Zelda runs just fine. Something like Mario Kart even hits about 60 fps most of the time. I think they just tried cramming more into Zelda than the hardware can comfortably handle, similar to how Ocarina of Time also had frame rate issues back in the day.

Don't let that confident demeanour fool you. Cat taxes are deceptively easy, they don't pay rent and have no declarable income.

He'd probably gently caress it right up if we're being honest.
