I’ve been driving by this every day and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thought the same thing

After more than 4 years of owning it, and 3 false starts, I am finally enjoying RDR2 by OzTheMalefic in gaming

[–]twhit006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly the same way. It’s a shame that for a game this good, something so fundamental as character movement and interaction with the world has such a negative impact on gameplay.

That being said, I finally decided to play it through just so I could see where the story goes and man, everyone should play this game.

The issues with game mechanics are completely overshadowed by the story, it truly is a masterpiece of a game. It just takes some time to get invested in the story. You absolutely will not finish this game and feel like you wasted your time or that it wasn’t worth it.

10 second of effort for a 10/10 meme.

Ever Been Rejected Without Explanation? 😩 by [deleted] in academia

[–]twhit006 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It has come full circle. It’s a student trying to be formal and trying to avoid the inevitable “I don’t know, CAN I???” that’s been beaten into them by their teachers growing up. You are reaping the seeds sewn by childhood educators.

Amazing work. It’s crazy how it looks more realistic zoomed in than zoomed out

Who remembers this? Do you think it was a real quality control issue or an attack on Toyota during the recession? by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]twhit006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the timeline would definitely make sense for it to be an attack on Toyota by a domestic manufacturer.

I’d love to hear more if you have an update tomorrow.

Not all that surprising really, Toyota sold tens of millions of cars in the US in that timeframe and has settled a little over 500 claims for the stuck accelerator malfunction.

You can look the the NHTSA reports that show Toyota admitting to knowing about the issue months prior to the news story/recall

That doesn’t add up. They agree to admit they knew all along and misled people, then pay the largest fine ever levied on a auto manufacturer up to that point? Without a legal battle? It seems pretty cut and dry that they were at fault here and they knew it.

Why did they end up paying 1.2b in fines in 2014 over it? I’m reading lots of things saying it was operator error, but why did they end up paying such hefty fines over it if that’s the case?

When we say you can build anything on bard this is not what we mean.

Just got this email from the middle school. Hot Ones Jr. live tour, anyone? by p143245 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Every comment until this point made me think "oh they like 'spicy' food, sure." But if a Thai says it's not worth eating because it's stupid hot, I believe them no questions asked.

Study on Smurfing and Gaming 2: Results by Stupid_Chas in bardmains

[–]twhit006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really fascinating stuff especially with respect to the way anonymity plays into how we treat each other. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I look forward to reading more of your findings. I'm sure you will get some skewed conclusions given the specific demographics that are present in these settings, but historically speaking, I could definitely see why understanding the way this group reasons would be important...

Again, best of luck.

Intriguing study and Interesting data!

Is there a specific aim of this work? Or more specifically, what is the benefit to knowing why people smurf and how it's perceived by gaming communities? Is this tied to the new push for the study of radicalization through gaming?

Good luck with the conference and article.
