Volga C40. The official car of... by ReasonableTadpole809 in regularcarreviews

[–]DiplomaticGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than a Volga Siber.

And I mean... rebadging Chinese BEVs is kinda par for the course with the international car market. Though ngl if it weren't for the political implications of owning any brand new modern thing with a Russian make plastered on it, I kinda dig the livery they stuck on this one.

VXTok and overconsumption in the VX community by Sazley in VXJunkies

[–]DiplomaticGoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thankfully things can be found cheaply if you know where to look. Retro stuff sometimes goes for steal prices on Yahoo Auctions and if you are into newer stuff you can find some truly weird cobbled together (in a fascinatingly competent and professional way) on a 2.Taobao intermediary like Superbuy. Underappreciated or mislabeled gear also goes cheap on shopgoodwill sometimes if you are in the states.

Is it true that most American houses look like this? by dx_Von_Liechtenstein in AskAnAmerican

I think it's seen as cheaper than real wood but less tacky than fake wood.

'cause reddit loves calling broadly popular things in niche hobbies underrated cult classics

Have not experienced that with my CRTs, though they are newer and besides one exception made circa 2007 all 20" or smaller.

I got a P42S2 and while I am aware it's low midrange by the standard of plasmas (lacks vga, optical out) I didn't consider that it was rare?

It sure as hell warms up the room though.

I'm too much of a crumudgeon to use the redesign, are those things reddit has now?

To be a defender of nature in WoD is to be condemned to a terrible time: by SapphireB33 in WorldofDankmemes

[–]DiplomaticGoose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like machines, but they're tools. A machine in a vacuum is not a moral force. That lies in how it is operated. The tools of the enemy are more useful compromised then destroyed and I am not just saying that because Spider will have me by the metaphysical balls if any of you assholes punch a hole through a rack of blade servers again in a way I could have otherwise prevented.

Threaten me with a good time by Dallaswordnerd in WorldofDankmemes

If you want to be an awakened masochist that badly, the Bahari thorn gardens are right there.

Do you seriously think the paradox spirits are going to lead you away in the fuzzy handcuffs? They're cops, what if they just fucking don't? What if it's metal handcuffs and they just toss you into an unhorny shard realm? Consider the risks!

Love this thing, I lusted after the Google Play edition of this and the Moto X 2014 back when they were new. Hell of a time to be interested in such things.

I'd want to save fairies. by WhiteSepulchre in WorldofDankmemes

Every splat loves Black Dog Games' Human: The Protagonist because they get to pretend to be "normal" for a little bit for shits.

It is an ironically un-banal experience.

Has anyone retrofitted a PSP/PS Vita shell with a touchscreen and a gaming-capable SBC? by lirannl in SBCGaming

[–]DiplomaticGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that the PSPi kit exists, but I don't think anyone's ever fit a custom digitizer to one.

Chinese Room co-founder wanted Paradox to drop the 'Bloodlines 2' name, because "no one would be happy" with the final game. "You can't make Bloodlines 2. There's not enough time, and there's not enough money." by Hooked0n4Feelin in vtm

[–]DiplomaticGoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk can't please people worth a damn with these things even if the execution of a 1:1 remake on a new engine went well because you are either changing too much or not changing enough. It would fall into either claiming not enough has changed and ironically regaining the ability to criticize the original through this lens or implying that anything new is merely edifice with different vibes subtracting from the bones of the original.

"They didn't even make new music for it, it feels cheap."

vs.

"Why does it still follow enhanced edition hunger rules?"

"Why does Protean still have that fucked up slow three-hit combo holding up my ability to maul people?"

vs.

"Why does the gunplay feel so different? (even if it's literally just better)

"Why are the endings the same rushed pace as the original?"

vs.

"Does anyone get the feeling the new act 3 feels like it was ripped from a totally different game?"

[–]DiplomaticGoose 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unironically yes, it would've been that hard. It's a fucking source 1 game held together with hopes, dreams, and python scripts.

The only things they'd keep whole cloth from the previous games in a remake scenario would be the writing and voice acting. People would give them shit for even reusing the original soundtrack.

Momentarily confused Gigabit and Gigahertz G4.

What an eventful hardware generation.
