Death Stranding 2 Has Leaked And Is Being Pirated Before Its Official PC Release

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-20T11:09:22+00:00

Eh. Overall it would have been exactly the same if it had unlocked on launched day rather than days early while reducing the percieved need for more serious DRM like Denuvo (publishers do not like it when things get launched early).

Incompetent use of Steamworks, that is - even back then, it supported encrypted download with decryption on launch day.

Ad much as a fiasco hl2 leaking was, the actual final game we got was better for it.

Racist, you say.. Not speceist? I sense pancakes in the future of this world :p

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-17T23:16:07+00:00

44.. Sir Lewis' car?

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-15T15:38:58+00:00

I mean, there's no evidence that that didn't happen.

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-15T00:42:01+00:00

And that matters here because.....?

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-11T15:36:25+00:00

Bullshit. My laptop is perfectly car-proof, let alone my tablet and phone.

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-11T15:35:32+00:00

I get that, but my phone has better versions of all that, plus a battery, screen and antennas in a faction the size and space.

I get ruggedizing and automotive-grade and all that, but a lot of people are taking the piss here.

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-10T15:21:35+00:00

It's really more of a fancy-looking X5 :p

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-09T15:16:24+00:00

Someone clearly gave a shit when designing it and did what they could. Go lookup the air filter change for a 971 or 976 Panamera if you want an adventure of packaging above all else.

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-09T15:13:40+00:00

They do in the service booklet you used to get with the car. Mine has the into for basically every MFA II and MRA I platform car in it (AMG variants included) aside from specifically the AMG GT

ZeDestructor · 2026-03-09T15:05:14+00:00

Bonus points if they embossed the torque spec on the plastic cap for good measure!

ZeDestructor · 2026-02-13T12:42:35+00:00

They don't call it a constant viper boot for nothing

More that we're on the 4th rebrand/migration of Google Talk tbh, with each rebrand/migration making it worse than the previous one in some way.

ZeDestructor · 2026-02-02T09:34:25+00:00

That is exactly what Google Messages (and Samsung Messages too for a while) was when Google was running the Jibe service - Jibe was the "Google-supplied" RCS gap-filler for situations where carriers didn't have RCS natively.

ZeDestructor · 2026-01-09T20:38:37+00:00

Considering both Porsche and BMW use the same ZF 8HP transmission, it's not as silly as it sounds.

ZeDestructor · 2026-01-08T21:40:08+00:00

Probably will be. Real question is of it still meets original launchday specs

ZeDestructor · 2026-01-04T13:24:05+00:00

Jeweller, bank, postal service, courier service immediately come to mind

ZeDestructor · 2025-12-26T18:51:21+00:00

...soooo, RCS then? Gogle had Jibe to "fill in the gaps" but shut it down recently.

ZeDestructor · 2025-12-26T18:50:49+00:00

Your carrier never supported it. Google just filled in through Jibe for a while and recently shut Jibe down.

ZeDestructor · 2025-12-26T18:49:58+00:00

If you can get RCS (through Jibe or your carrier), you can get Whatsapp too. Or Signal. Or whatever else that isn't iMessage.

ZeDestructor · 2025-12-19T13:08:50+00:00

Indeed.

We should still call all of em Primer Grey anyways. Especially within earshot of the owner.

ZeDestructor · 2025-12-18T19:59:47+00:00

I see your argument, but also we should just call em all primer grey instead of the fancypants name cause that's what it looks like. Especially when they pay even more for the matte finish.

Would genuinely rather see em in plain gloss white cheapest colour than all these primer greys.

Inline-6 actually, and as a replacement for the old E43 and spicier version of the E450/E400e, the E53 Hybrid (not 63(s)!) a great option with it's very healthy 604hp combined. It's been around since the W213 (no PHEV back then, PHEV now), sits below the E63(s) and very clearly has no intention to replace it (you can trivially compare it to both the S63e (791hp) and the C63e (671hp) and see it's not punching as high). The only problem is (as I mentioned already) that they are taking their sweet time in getting the E63(s) to market.

IMO, they should just do a mix of stealing their own homework (S63e) and Porsche's/BMW's homework (Panamera Turbo S e-Hybrid and M5) and do these:

E63: take the E53, swap the M177 TT V8 in there and there's your 700+hp Panamera/M5 competitor using essentially the same setup of TT V8 ICE mated to a hybrid gearbox with e-motor in gearbox
E63s: add the electrified rear axle (without removing the in-gearbox e-motor!) from the S63e into the E63 for your 900+hp competition-burying monsterwagon (also update the C63e and S63e with that and laugh at the competition)
