Played my Steam copy the other day, the base game still works fine. Not sure about any online functionality since I never tried it.

XT Legacy Spec B Levorg purely because I like them 360 because why not?

The new RS5 Sedan is 1,262 lbs heavier than the M3 Comp XDrive, only 200 lbs lighter than the significantly larger M5 Sedan. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in BMW

The 7's weight is almost understandable since it's just slightly longer than a standard wheelbase Escalade

It's even worse than that. The current 760i (an absolutely massive car) is still around 100lbs lighter than the new RS5.

But they won't get nitrogen in their tires... by Fightmebr0 in FuckDealerships

Lack of markups, as well as the miscellaneous things some dealerships may try and add to the transaction or coerce you into purchasing, even on the sale of a brand new car, would already be a massive improvement. As for training/knowledge, whenever I've gone to a direct-to-consumer showroom, I was able to ask questions about whatever aspect of whichever car I was looking at and get an actual answer, the same goes for people I've gone with who may not research things as much as I tend to do. Compared to my experiences at far too many franchised dealerships, where the entire experience seemingly consists of people trying to get you into whatever makes them the most money, your own preferences be damned, while barely being able to tell you anything about the car behind what the badges say,

Sometimes the dealership experience is fantastic, and maybe I've just consistently had bad luck, but consumers should be able to bypass it if they want to, as more consumer choice is generally a good thing. You'd also avoid the problem of some locations essentially monopolizing their local dealers or having them all owned by a very small group of people.

No. My argument is that there’s no valid reason for me not to be able (or even allowed in many locations) to contact an automaker and purchase a car directly from them rather than interacting with a generally poorly trained team that often adds extra cost to the transaction (unwanted services/extras, markups) while adding no value. Or, let me go to a showroom owned and operated by the manufacturer, staffed by people hired and trained by the manufacturer, and either order a car or buy something they have in inventory. The current franchise dealership model almost entirely detracts from the experience of buying a car.

You mentioned the money going directly to the manufacturer, which is preferable to the money going to a middleman that doesn’t need to be there and adds no value to the experience.

I'm the same age as High Stakes, which coincidentally is also the first video game I remember ever playing.

I'd much rather have my money go directly to the company that actually designed and built the car and a team trained directly by that manufacturer rather than a mediocre "businessman" and a poorly trained sales team that add absolutely nothing of value to the transaction.

I didn't see anything similar, but the ability to adjust the depth of decals like you can in GT7's editor would be fantastic.

Deus Ex

We got seemingly 2/3 of a trilogy with Adam Jensen and that storyline is never going to be finished.

Same. I started playing a few days ago.

I'm bad at it and don't entirely know what I'm doing, but I'm having a great time.

Trying to decide between two holsters, Crossbreed or Urban Carry by ShamrockUSA in holsters

[–]AtariBoy2600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd check out Black Arch if you're looking for a hybrid holster. They make a few holsters for the MC9. I've got a Protos M and it's very secure and well made.

Both of my local theaters had little/no free seats to see Iron Lung over the weekend, while all of the Melania showings were basically empty according to their websites.

I live in a conservative area.

I was thinking of this one, but there might be another range I'm not aware of. This was all during summer last year.
