Monster Sanctuary! Scratches the Pokemon itch but way better than any Pokemon game ever has

Monster Sanctuary! Outstanding mix of metroidvania and pokemon sorta game

I’d’ve thought mustn’t would be broadly cherished, not reviled!

HORI, a manufacturer of popular gaming accessories

if they’re so popular why have I never heard of them? especially as I’ve very recently researched PC gamepads and settled on an 8BitDo.

HORI sounds like a bullshit throwaway Amazon brand.

That said, I am very very eager for a gamepad which can do gyro aiming, have back buttons that actually function as additional buttons (as opposed to merely copies of other buttons), and do so over better-than-bluetooth wireless. Doesn’t look like this is that, though, so whatever

has nothing to do with Dell’s financials

Define “struggling”

Yup!

Two track days in my Taycan - one at Portland International Raceway, and one at Pacific Raceways.

One rallycross event at Dirtfish in a Fiesta ST

Two day AWD rally racing instruction at Dirtfish (their owm WRX STI sedans)

Several track days in a Cayman at Pacific Raceways and one at The Ridge

And awhile back, track days and autocross in RX-8 and Genesis Coupe. Even a winter autocross in the RX-8 once, which was interesting and challenging.

I totally agree that driving cars for enjoyment which have engaging qualities like three pedals can be that much more enjoyable. And I agree that the Ioniq 5 N offers a really compelling feature for folks like us in their simulated gears - I REALLY wanna try that and I hope the concept spreads to other sporty EVs!

Edit: to answer the start of your post, I can hear which tires are losing grip, which can mean a whole bunch of things, like if the fronts are squealing in a corner I could lift off a tiny bit to shift weight forward and give them more grip, or remember to brake earlier before I hit that same turn on the next lap. Nothing I don’t already intuit from steering wheel feedback and the “butt feel” of inertia, but it’s another dimension of that awareness

being on a track and being able to hear what my tires are doing, individually, in the absence of engine and exhaust (and intake) noises, is a pretty cool level of connectedness and engagement.

“I can’t charge at home” should be an easy way to shut down an EV evangelist. That should be a “get out of conversation free” card.

I say that as an EV evangelist myself, and I lived a few years in a condo with an EV and no EV charging in the garage (and adding charging was going to be cost prohibitive if even possible at all due to already crowded infrastructure). It sucked and ain’t nobody got time for that.

One slice of Costco cheese pizza has like 700 calories

Jeez, don’t give the data brokers any more ideas!

Because the first model year for the Nissan Leaf was 2011, not 2010.

Most cars are physically manufactured a year or so before the model year. If you want to search for Leafs (Leaves?) manufactured in 2010, look for model year 2011.

Yes. And?

I’m going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there’s not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.

She was worse??

Might look the same to us but smells are different every day. If nothing else, just from where other dogs have walked and done their business along the route. Basically checking the pissal media feed

Coming out is not a single, grand event. It’s a decision we have to make repeatedly, sometimes even daily.

Do I have the energy to correct the dude I bought a guitar cable from who assumed I have a wife? I was tired and cranky that day so I didn’t correct him, now I have to deal with feeling weird or even a tad guilty for not standing up for myself or my partner even on such a tiny level.

Mate, this parrot wouldn’t would “voom” if you put four million volts through it!

Fuck “update”. Fuck " clarify". Actually CHANGE.
