  • Especially when people fuck with the ride height on their trucks. They almost always end up with the front higher than the back, relative to it’s stock setting. Then don’t bother to adjust the head light angle to compensate.

    Then, on I need a massive light bar on the top of my truck. Never mind that I never take this thing off road or do any work with it. It looks cool and it’s bright and shiny.

    Fuck off. Can we just tax these things properly and not v give them a lower tax rate since their classed as commercial vehicles. No one buying these massive boats uses them for more than going to home Depot once a year to buy some leaf bags.

  • I’ve been using Boost. It has user tags, instance blocking which can even be extended to comments from blocked instances. Search is kinda eh, and sometimes gifs from less common sites won’t load, but overall I’m happy with the experience.

    Previously I used Connect. It was pretty good. Had similar features as Boost, but I found more issues loading content with Connect. Admittedly that was about a year ago so things may have improved, but I haven’t gone back to check.





  • I get what you’re saying, but the eating and the spiciness of the wings actually contribute to the quality of the interview.

    1. Eating a meal with someone is disarming and contributes to the relaxed, ungaurded nature or his guests.

    2. Consuming spicy food, particularly extremely spicy food or spicy food in great quantity releases endorphins which.

    So while yes the eating/reacting to how hot the sauce is does interrupt the flow of the interview somewhat, it does help him get good/candid answers for his guests.

    So while his research team is outstanding and he’s a talented interviewer in his own right. The hot wings do serve a role in the interview as more than a clickbaity gimmick.






  • Admittedly I don’t play on Xbox, but yeah their console naming is baffling to me and I honestly don’t know/can’t be bothered to figure it out. PlayStation is simple. Bigger numbers equal newer. Pro version? Just a modest step up but still clearly identifies as the same Gen.

    When Xbox launched the One, I thought, “oh they’re going to reset the numbering convention. It’s awkward now but will be easier going forward.” Boy was I wrong.

    On the other end there’s Nintendo, but the names are so different and distinct it’s easy enough to distinguish (except whatever the hell Wii U was).

    Microsoft seems caught in the middle. They clearly didn’t want to be like PlayStation, but they don’t want to/can’t come up with unique names, so you get just a mouthful of nonsense letters and numbers.





  • Honestly, Inquisition is the low point in the series to me. If it can’t clear that bar then Bioware may be toast. I’ve replayed Origins countless times and it’s truly a great game. DA2 isn’t a perfect game, and certainly shows signs of EA’s influence degrading the product, but I have replayed of numerous and still find it a fun experience.

    Inquisition, I think I’ve only completed it twice, at most. But replays always seem to stall out for me. I don’t find the characters as engaging and the “open world” elements feel like something to be overcome rather than something I want to dive into and explore.

    Honestly, I’d rather they go smaller and focus on well designed areas/missions/quests with fun and engaging characters. I don’t need a huge map from a Bioware title. I just want a good story, with interesting characters and difficult narrative choices.
