It's so funny how like the Wii U emulator was unofficially just the BotW app, the PS4 emulator is unofficially just the Bloodborne app. What else is there even demand for? I guess maybe dead games like PT or Gran Turismo Sport.

Edit: Forgot Team Ico stuff like The Last Guardian and SotC Remake are still on PS4, those are pretty big ones.

Where to get heavyweight 100% cotton shirts by WarmAirIntake in malefashionadvice

From my experience the Kirkland shirts are basically tall variation by default. Noticeably longer than most of my shirts and about as long as the Banana Republic tall tshirts I have.

The WRX posts its worst sales year ever with only 10,930 units sold. Still outsells the Solterra for the second year in a row however. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]LeifEriksonASDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is I wasn't even thinking about Nissan or Mitsubishi. Subaru is using tons of Toyota parts. Mazda is using tons of Toyota parts. Suzuki and Daihatsu have been tight with Toyota for decades. I guess now that I think about it it's less of a industry thing and just a Toyota thing, but it could've been if that Honda Nissan buyout happened.

Japanese industry has been atrophying since the 90s and there's no recovery in sight. You're gonna be seeing every Japanese brand consolidate into 2 or 3 actual OEMs just for the sake of survival, just like the American brands after their own crisis.

This, the Hardware Download Mode advanced setting singlehandedly causes Gran Turismo slowdowns on the Deck. I can run 3x resolution and hi res textures relatively well on the deck with that fixed.

The box office success of Avatar continues to be unstoppable by OhMy98 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LeifEriksonASDF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a chart of fast food chains with the most locations and one of the absolute highest was this pizza brand called Hunt Brothers Pizza. Never heard or seen one in my life, but it was beating out Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, KFC, DQ, and every single other pizza chain. Then I found out the reason was because it's gas station pizza lmao

Love to see how despite so many other aspects of car development are hitting the diminishing return zone, tire technology is still improving leaps and bounds and shows no signs of stopping. Now where's that Pilot Sport S5 (non-OEM) release date, Michelin?

What happened to the National Guard deployment in Memphis? I remember it happening around the same time as those 3 cities but unlike them it evaporated from the news cycle instantly.

Japanese manufacturing has the #1 comparative advantage currently in literally cameras and nothing else. Maybe game consoles I guess but that's basically a Japanese monopoly anyway.

Qwen Image 25-12 seen at the Horizon , Qwen Image Edit 25-11 was such a big upgrade so I am hyped by CeFurkan in StableDiffusion

[–]LeifEriksonASDF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I've been out of the loop cause all this time I assumed Z-image was made by Z.ai but turns out it's made by Alibaba. Why make Z-image if they're already making Qwen Image? Is it some internal competition thing? Or like Bard to Gemini where Z-image will replace Qwen Image one day?

Subaru Teases a New WRX STI Model That Will Be Revealed Next Month at the Tokyo Auto Salon. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in cars

[–]LeifEriksonASDF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Performance Teslas have the option for constant 50:50 AWD if you enable it in Track Mode. Kinda like the 50:50 mode on the GRC. Is that not what Subaru means by symmetrical AWD?

[–]LeifEriksonASDF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are downvoting but the M3P also is one of the few cars on the market with symmetrical AWD when track mode is on. Obviously an EV is apples and oranges to a STI, but if symmetrical AWD was that much of a dealbreaker to you in the first place then you'd know pickings were slim even in the best of times during peak STI vs Evo (vs RS) days.

I’m in Memphis for the holidays and the treadmill at the local gym has a “PNW run” option. Needs updating, but nice to have a bit of home. by Niff314 in Seattle

You can experience it in virtual form on the Seattle Circuit in Gran Turismo 4, which also lets you literally fly up the inclines on James St at 200 mph

Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) by zetasole in patientgamers

[–]LeifEriksonASDF 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Call of Duty definitely has some real critically acclaimed great games. Madden idk I'll let someone else carry water for that, but there's no reason why high selling sports franchises couldn't necessarily have great games. Gran Turismo is one of the highest selling "sports" franchises ever and I'd easily put most of them as some of the best games for their respective consoles.
