I’m guessing you are rich enough to stop working. Maybe don’t bother trying to defend oligarchy.

Did you say crazy?
- Comment on What are your favorite racing games? 1 month ago:
Project cars 3 in VR is pretty slick. I still think the gran Turismo franchise is tops. I wish there was a pc version or anything similar.

Seitan, legumes (so many options), nutritional yeast, spelt hemp seeds, peas, spirulina, quinoa, oats, wild rice, all nuts, mycoprotein (mushrooms). 🤷

Sorry no… Just use that ray gun to blast people like Mitch McConnell and my depression will sort itself out.
- Comment on Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD. 3 months ago:
Going to add to the climate argument, but thrown in a personal realization. I used to only buy rwd manual sporty cars but put snow tires on them in the winter. This was fine until I moved to a location that rains 9 months per year.
It was then I realized heavy torque, rwd was miserable here regardless of the tire choice. I’ve been buying AWD since. But it took me basically a decade to figure that out.
FWIW I still put snow tires on in the Winter, but I ski.
- Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ? 4 months ago:
Different studios take different approaches, I know when Polyphony digital was making Gran Turismo 7 they dramatically changed how they were doing audio by actually bringing the real cars into a dedicated recording studio. This isn’t the video I saw a few years ago, but it’s similar.
To my knowledge they may have been (still?) the only studio doing it this way.
- Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs? 5 months ago:
Replying to my own comment because I just stumbled upon uncle Rich doing exactly this on a cheap chinese EV truck.
It’s kind of a fun take on the crappy truck too. youtube link
- Comment on Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs? 5 months ago:
While most of the points are covered here, and it’s likely true that the cost to add the panel and micro inverters is high, (I built a small two panel one battery off-grid system for about $4000 to power a chest freezer)… I have a counter point that I feel should be considered.
While it’s true that it isn’t going to extend driving range by much, my thought is that it is still worth it. Take these examples:
Drove to great wolf lodge in the summer, left car in parking lot for 3 days without charge. It lost several %.
Left car in an airport lot for a week lost even more power.
Drove to NorCal, left car at Airbnb driveway, had to find charging despite the car sitting in very bright sunshine for 4 days.
Car camping
Apartment complex parking (literally one of the main negatives about EVs)
All of these would benefit from trickle charging, even if it was just to prevent the drain of sitting.
- Comment on What is the point of Xbox? 6 months ago:
Why do you say it isn’t a proper substitute? What features is it missing?
- Comment on What is the point of Xbox? 6 months ago:
I mean, the nuance you describe is notable. But I sit on the couch, using controllers and play the same games you would on ps or Xbox. Both of which run variants of Linux/windows.
It appears the nuance is no longer important.
- Comment on What is the point of Xbox? 6 months ago:
K… This is just not true. Plenty of AAA games run well on the steam deck. Currently installed on mine, RDR2, cyberpunk 2077, horizon zero dawn, Forza horizon, uncharted legacy of thieves, the last of us, and for funsies I just started another fallout 4 playthrough. I’m sure others have lots of other AAA games they play on their deck.
If it’s the exclusives you’re missing, like Gran Turismo or something, I think that’s a different argument.
- Comment on How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound? 7 months ago:
Ooof don’t mistake intent… It’s difficult over text. Rattly ass 4 cylinder isn’t a term I coined. Some sound good, some sound bad, modern engines are stifled and amazing all at the same time. Mainstream appliance 4 cylinder are designed for fuel and emissions
- Comment on How are newer cars (gas/hybrid) supposed to sound? 7 months ago:
Most main stream, dare I say alliance cars, have what is called a rattly ass 4cyl. Not to be confused with nice sounding 4cyl engines.
I’ve also noticed new cars sound bad.
- Comment on Is there any love for BAR (Beyond All Reason-FOSS RTS) on Lemmy? 9 months ago:
I love bar and play it all the time.

This is the answer, it’s friendlier to authors trying to get started.
- Comment on Is Windows 11 decent yet? 1 year ago:
Naw brand new Lenovo legion gaming laptop. Nothing interesting installed on it when I tried this.
- Comment on Is Windows 11 decent yet? 1 year ago:
Bought days gone (game) on steam. Would not launch on windows 11. Tried to get a refund. But it had been two weeks. Launch d it on my steam deck and it worked great.
So. No… It’s sucks.
- Comment on Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse? 1 year ago:
Just a reminder that it isn’t a left vs right conversation. It’s working class vs ruling class.
You aren’t bitter at leftists, you’re bitter at the ideas that media companies use to keep you angry at leftists instead of oligarchs.
If you have to work, you’re working class.
If you actually do hate certain types of people, then you need to work on yourself. If you don’t believe certain people need health care, then you need to work on yourself. If you believe ultra wealthy (people making over $10mil in income annually) deserve more tax cuts, then you need to work on yourself. If you don’t believe that minimum wage should have parity with inflation, then you need to work on yourself.
Have some class solidarity.
- Comment on Games like Road 96? 1 year ago:
I too played road96 through a few times. There isn’t much like it that I know of. One game is kind of similar, called Late Shift. And there is a second road96 game called Mile 0.
