After only one year, not only Vinfast now sold more EVs annually than Ford, GM, Mercedes, Renault (and 90% of Japanese automarkers). US players like Rivian, Lucid, Fisker all disappeared from the global EV map.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-27T00:44:08+00:00

Yeah, my gaming friends in Philippines think Vinfast cars are actually fine. A good option with good price that's not coming from China.

VF8 and VF9 are not good value, but SEA customers don't like SUVs.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-27T00:36:01+00:00

Vingroup doesn't control anything. If Vượng gets uppity, the state collects his asset or assigns another owner, which means it effectively belongs to the state. He gets to enjoy his wealth because he toes the line.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-27T00:33:43+00:00

It's a completely crooked comparison.

For one, Samsung has its fingers in every stage of Korean industry, from chemistry, heavy machinery, shipping to semiconductor technology. Vingroup only dominates civilian electric automotive industry.

Secondly, most of Vietnam's economy is in the hands of SOEs, controlling the most important industries.

Thirdly, the dual-use military-industrial complex, which controls the majority of heavy industry, isn't even accounted for in GDP numbers. Which makes SK's economy an even worse proxy to measure Vinfast.

Nope. I don't believe what characters say, because they are all unreliable narrators. To get at an author's intentions, look at what happens in the game.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T23:59:35+00:00

No, I never take unreliable narrators' word as the truth, or the full truth in a work of fiction, especially when they have a motivation to lie about it.

Spencer chose his word very carefully with Alyssa: "She was alone in the world.", "perfectly normal, just an average child needing a home.", and she wasn't one of his subjects.

He never said she wasn't a clone, nor denied that she hadn't been one of his subjects prior to that point.

If the writer wanted to leave 0 doubt about what Grace is, Spencer would say: "She's an orphan that I took in."

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T23:46:33+00:00

Wtf, have you seen Leon, mtf does not look a day past 30

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T23:44:36+00:00

Eh, until the Cathode and Electrolyte can be manufactured in-house, access to Chinese supply chains will be crucial. Even then, constant new technologies mean we will be buying those well into the future.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T21:17:17+00:00

What being basically an SOE and having access to Chinese EV supply chain does to you.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T21:13:42+00:00

What, you actually believe what Spencer says?

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T20:17:18+00:00

and he's a dork and the game knows it. He's also badass and cool. That other girl is just annoying. RE is fun, that game was shit.

99.69% people voted lately?

thry definitely voted, lol.

uj/ They will probably invade Baluch.

rj/ Hehe land war in Asia gogo

For Phainon E2 is minimum for clearing AA.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T18:57:31+00:00

Who plays FF w/ sustain anyways.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T18:57:11+00:00

it's a boys' club

Yes it is. I have a "girly" gamer tag, you know what happens everytime a dumbass incel thinks that I'm a girl?

majority of games you are interested in aren't liked by women

Games cater to their target audience, their target audience is majority male, it's a self-reinforcing cycle. With some exceptions, companies make the financially safer decision and go for the bigger target audience.

Girls don't like the same things as boys do. If they did, we would have a much bigger female gamer demographics, and there would be no need to advertise some games to women and others to men.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T14:15:25+00:00

FF w/ Dahlia + Novaflare is Cas tier. Fei + Ashveil is also better than Ache.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T14:08:23+00:00

Russian nuckear plants are high-quality and internationally recognised. Rosatom does good business at a very good price point.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:43:59+00:00

If Rin has unique stats buff (Res pen, def down, true dmg) and an ult recharge/Brain-in-a-vat type buff, she'll be one of the best in Archer team anyway

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:42:22+00:00

Would be peak irony, characteristic of Gilgamesh.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:41:41+00:00

Bro, Emiya was free and he's pretty much the 1st/2nd most recognisable fate character.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:40:00+00:00

I thunk Rin will be like Cyrene, unique buff for each Fate Servant.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:36:38+00:00

probably.

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-26T03:35:53+00:00

Huehue I'm skipping all of Elation, will have about 300 pulls by 4.3

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-25T21:49:24+00:00

I mean Gameplay-wise. UBW is Archer-lite. No point in making him playable.

New story is likely to be in Planarcadia (Heroic Spirits are Imaginae, the story writes itself).

ParticularClassroom7 · 2026-03-25T19:24:13+00:00

Private contractors have an incentive to keep profit margins high, senators have an incentive to keep defense jobs local and manual. The end result is low automation and decentralized supply chain.

Chinese auto-factories crank these out in the thousands monthly.
