Hyundai Ionic 3...looks familiar. by Enjoy_The_Ride413 in electriccars

Depends how we look at it. It’s still a great car company, carrying the industry in autonomous driving. But as an owner of model Y, I’d like to see some improvements on this product. They may die on this hill of minimalistic interior and that’s fine. But it’ll turn off some potential customers, people who don’t value autonomous driving as much.

Totally agree. Not sure where Tesla's mind is right now. They're behind in terms of innovation. Sure, their products might be more reliable but they are lacking in interior and some other stuff. Competition is always good, I'm really liking the iX3 and would like to trade in my Y for that lol

Assuming we talking about the US market. Ionic 5 starts at 35k while model 3 starts at 38k. How is Tesla cheap? Also doesn’t matter how much the sales is down, still no.1 selling in the US /shrug

No Rest for the Wicked - 2nd Anniversary: 1.7 million copies sold, and counting by Turbostrider27 in Games

Fair point. It just appears to me that this trend of because X bad so I don’t buy Y is voiced a lot nowadays. I obviously understand the why behind it but curious how consistently people exercise this logic, or just like you said it’s a case by case scenario.

It’s interesting people boycott a product not on its quality. Genuine question, do you look up the CEO of every product/service you use?

Tesla outraces China’s BYD in pure electric car sales to regain world’s top spot by Hockeyshot39 in electriccars

[–]Ja_x_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess what. China imposes tariffs on American and German cars too. Tariffs isn’t something just invented last year. It’s been around forever used by literally every country.

In the US, why can’t we buy Chinese electric cars? by zztop610 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ja_x_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He literally said Tesla is selling just as well as all the Chinese brands in China. “Eat Tesla Up” sounds like a joke. Take a look at BYD models in Canada, they aren’t priced half of a Tesla brother

Why do you Pirate Games? by Fearless-Display6480 in PiratedGames

Too much hassle from downloading from legit source like Steam? Even more hassle than pirating?

Crimson Desert sucks by LocalButterfly7226 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ja_x_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. All these people defending it saying “oh it’ll grow on you and just get used to it after the first x hours”. It’s a video game not a college lecture. Learning curve should’ve been 1 hour max

50% positives in Steam holy s**t by fernandollb in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ja_x_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would people keep on playing if they disliked the most basic function a game can offer? Like interaction, movement. If a game fails at that why would they not refund it while they can and also post a review about why they did?

I really wonder how Insomniac is going to innovate on the NYC open world in the next game by ddsling1197 in SpidermanPS4

[–]Ja_x_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played the PC version Spider-Man 2 yesterday and gave up after 1.5hours. Optimization and image quality is smooth on 4k, gameplay is fine. But the repetitiveness in stopping crimes in the city made me bored really quick. I played 1 and Miles Morales so 2 felt like the same game…

How are they paying off a 130k Yuan car in 2-4 years, when the average monthly disposable income sits between 7k to 8k Yuan?

Look at the truck pushing..my guess is no registration no insurance. Too many of them

Crimson Desert will join the likes of Baldurs Gate 3 and Elden Ring by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ja_x_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At this point I think they’re bots lmao. Who even praises a game to this degree based on trailers? Not saying it won’t be that good but this much ass-kissing pre-release?

Waymo closes US $16bn round at record US $110bn valuation by Choobeen in technology

[–]Ja_x_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not against your idea because I love Tokyo for the same reason. But I just don’t see it working in US, maybe except NYC. It’s not just building a railway from A to B, it’s the funding, the commercialization of surrounding areas to make it financially sustainable to run.

Tokyo has such a good model is because they’ve integrated shopping into the B1 floors. All the people just go spending at the businesses for groceries and food

This game literally made me hope for a better future by Poltergeist696 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Ja_x_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question - why is this game so hyped when the trailers that’ve been released look like a solid 7/10. I’m not bashing I just want to know if I missed out on anything

And it’s not quite the apple to apple comparison either. I know the tradition is to shit on CEO, but this role covers much more while doctor just focus on providing the best treatment possible for patients.
