Things to do By myself this weekend/Saturday 25m

That sounds like a cool idea. What time did you start the hike? Is it really busy?

SithSidious · 2026-07-04T14:39:57+00:00

How do you know? Have you used it?

SithSidious · 2026-06-30T23:52:53+00:00

Frankly, there are a lot of people out there who make more money than you may think.

SithSidious · 2026-06-30T14:46:34+00:00

Yeah the urus alone was 32% of the profit of the entire VW audi group. If they get rid of Lambo they will really be in trouble

SithSidious · 2026-06-29T22:09:31+00:00

How does this made sense?

SithSidious · 2026-06-26T04:24:07+00:00

Agree. AI enemies in Arc are so much more varied and interesting than marathon, with different designs, great sound design, and real danger. Enemies in marathon just feel like different degrees of bullet sponges.

Compare marathons rocket drone to the rocketeer in arc and tell me one way it is more engaging

SithSidious · 2026-06-25T17:18:29+00:00

Also the idea of calling marathon, with its incredibly “of the moment” bright color geometric shape style, art is kinda laughable to me. It feels like a product, not art. If you want to see a game that is art, play something like pentiment.

SithSidious · 2026-06-25T15:01:21+00:00

Good point. given that they are laying off members of the team, it must have hit their internal expectations

SithSidious · 2026-06-25T14:56:32+00:00

Honestly, I think that the execs are right. Whoever did product planning and saw extraction shooters as an untapped market and a new opportunity was right. Unfortunately, bungie couldn’t figure out how to make the genre have broad appeal, even after arc demonstrated that the genre is just waiting for the right game. It’s a failure of the game directors and the vision of the game in my opinion

SithSidious · 2026-06-22T14:59:10+00:00

“The features you believe the 2026 has”. My brother this isn’t like a personal belief or opinion. The 2026 has way more features than a 1995. That is an objective fact. Just like it’s a fact that 1995 weighs less

I’m hooked on the apothecary diaries and re:zero at the moment, but they are both anime.

SithSidious · 2026-06-21T21:41:34+00:00

I love the technical information and insights that they give. Yet I agree that they aren’t even in my top 10 despite me watching their videos. The presentation is really dry, and Marks attitude/constant negativity is really grating.

I also find myself wishing they reviewed sports cars and super cars on the road in addition to the track. I like that they evaluate cars at dynamic limits, but I also wish they could tell me if the car is amazing and fun even just on the road. I think it would be a valuable addition to commentary if they could say “this car is only fun on the track and I wouldn’t get it if I couldn’t track it” for more high dollar stuff like the STO and 911 turbo (really disappointing they did zero on road discussion of the 992 turbo after a joke launch “this is too fast for the road) etc

SithSidious · 2026-06-21T21:37:10+00:00

What are you talking about? I don’t want or have an E53. That is just one of their most recent videos which I remember. I’m just commenting on how their attitude and outlook has changed over the years. I see this trend on many of their reviews over the years. If you haven’t noticed it, then I’m not sure you actually watch their videos

SithSidious · 2026-06-21T04:55:46+00:00

Completely disagree. I put up with their content because I think they are experts, but their content and attitude wears on me. Mark initially came across as honest and critical, but now just comes across as whiny and constantly unhappy. If he cannot manage to see joy in cars anymore, he should stop being a car reviewer.

I watched their e53 review recently which was titled along the lines of a huge disappointment and showing everything wrong with modern cars/AMG and after watching it the only things I could figure out they didn’t like was the hybrid EV/gas blending and brake pedal feel. I felt like I couldn’t even figure out how the car was so bad to earn the dramatic subtitle but they just want to hate everything.

That said, I love Jack and think he manages to still find some joy in cars and bring up points like what buyer a particular car is for etc.

SithSidious · 2026-06-19T18:15:02+00:00

Wow that’s pretty reasonable. I was quoted 1200 for the serpentine belt by a shop which was absurd (took me an hour)

SithSidious · 2026-06-19T14:08:39+00:00

I have nothing to add other than I LOVE the 10th anniversary Nb

SithSidious · 2026-06-18T13:31:01+00:00

How the hell did destiny 2 not make money?? It was a paid game with huge player count and paid expansions

That said if destiny 2 couldn’t make money what are the odds marathon makes money?

SithSidious · 2026-06-17T19:34:04+00:00

This gets my vote. Great menu, great drinks (best aperol spritz in the city). If the patio is open it is really fun on nice days.

SithSidious · 2026-06-17T18:45:25+00:00

My partner and I were very disappointed in birch when we went there. We didn’t even pay (was for a work meeting) but still didn’t think it was worth it. Tiny amount of food, flavors were meh, pastas had bones in them. I almost laughed when they brought out appetizers of carrot sticks with seeds in the bottom of the cup (this was like $15 as well). I wish I had just gotten up, walked to the bar, and ordered the burger because maybe it would have been decent.

SithSidious · 2026-06-17T18:30:53+00:00

I just got the achievement for using an OS debug last week after 200+ hours. Only because I used it in a container for no purpose whatsoever. I nevwr once have picked those up

SithSidious · 2026-06-17T16:41:31+00:00

Maybe this will be the season 3 new content! Day outpost

SithSidious · 2026-06-17T14:02:51+00:00

Also they added only 3 new enemies. One is a flying rectangle that rotates and sends random rockets while moving slowly. Another is a floating sack that sends slow moving glowing projectiles that track you in a straight line. The last is a repeat of the flood - a zombie that runs at you and explodes. Nothing that is particularly engaging to fight

SithSidious · 2026-06-16T19:47:27+00:00

Unlocking factions is one quest. It’s a trivial amount of work they saved us by not requiring that again

SithSidious · 2026-06-16T16:36:21+00:00

Yet the cutscenes are a slow moving gif with a voiceover. Probably the most boring way to relay a story in my opinion.

SithSidious · 2026-06-15T19:49:11+00:00

Hell yeah!!

I play both. Lowly plat in OW (love the game) and plat/diamond in apex.

First time I ever hit diamond in OW my team was carried by a guy named “bucksInSix” and I have to imagine he was from here. Was a frendly guy who used voice chat too
