fart simpson posted:chinese ridesharing apps have a special mode for this and people actually use it. normally its like, a dude has to drive 15 hours to another city anyway so why not let a couple strangers ride along for $100 each or w/e. ive used it a few times to get places when train tickets were already sold out the post-soviet equivalent is random drivers with minibuses lining up vans at the local bus stop behind signs for various cities. once it's full or gives up on more passengers, it leaves i have had several leave and get a radio call saying there are three more people after 20m, so they turn around and pick up more lol

i played tsushima and the horizon sequel on ps4 and yknow what, they were still drat pretty only thing i regret was not getting to play horizon with the fancy haptics granted i am very blind to good visuals and happily played PC games at <30fps, which apparently most people would balk at, but last-gen consoles still look quite good that'll probably change years down the road--it always takes devs a while to start fully taking advantage of new platforms--but late lifecycle PS4 stuff at the moment doesn't look _that_ much worse than early lifecycle PS5

DELETE CASCADE posted:i've said it before and i'll say it again: haha pc gaming haptics? in PC games? graphics-wize console games actually have a notable advantage where there's only one graphics platform to targets, and poo poo is guaranteed to run smooth, even on older hardware, as long as the devs are competent by comparision, plenty of PC games end up having slowdown or crashes even on modern hardware because the devs have to target infinity possible hardware configurations. i like my PC games, but definitely appreciate how the other half is able to optimize the hell out of console hardware because they don't need to develop for other chips

Apple captured the professional audio market back then for a reason
