No, rated arr

Hahaha well then what better experience can you have with an ebb and flow like that? That’s beyond living it up, and more like riding the storm 😆

Ten seconds? I think Mother Nature can understand if you wanna live it up a little bit more you know?

I used to really love R. Kelly’s Bump N’ Grind, until… Well, I think everyone knows at this point

I’ll probably keep two at most, though I’m pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg

Guys honestly just buy a kei car like a Honda N-Van and a phone mount. 42 mpg, spacious, tons of cargo capacity, comparatively minuscule carbon footprint, and a basic 2din radio.

He’s probably talking about his dissatisfaction with Google’s entire Android platform on top of Pixel Pass

Y: “Oh. Well then, do you wanna semicolon?”

That’s rizzzz with a Z++.

Step up, song makers. Don’t get tied up in your chords

This is an interesting question actually. In my head, “staying true to the games” initially referred to how the game operates like the other commenter said e.g.

• How different bodily needs are met. To quench my thirst, do I boil the dirty water and just take some RadAway? How much radiation does this InstaMash have? If a character in the show drinks from an irradiated lake and somehow isn’t affected by the next plot device, how “true to the game” is that? If I do that in any of the Fallout games, I’d be running into Deathclaws with only a fraction of my max HP.

• VATS. Will time be stopped or slowed down while the characters are selecting and terminating their targets? There’s a lot that can go well here especially since it’s an opportunity to inject slow-mo Hollywood-style shooting scenes, but can you imagine if they don’t put any slow-mo at all? In my opinion that would show a huge lack of understanding of the games.

• To your point, decisions. Unfortunately I think making decisions for the audience is unavoidable here unless the show becomes something like Netflix’s interactive specials. However, some good ideas might include reproducing quests similar to the ones from the games and then making decisions based on data they may have gathered from game quests. Take the Megaton Bomb quest for example. Maybe the show will force a character into deciding between blowing up a city or not at the twilight of a story arc. In the end, they decide to blow it up. Then, during the credit roll, they show that most people in the games who did the Megaton quest actually blew up the city. I don’t actually know what the real stats are, but I think it would be a good idea for the show’s characters – to a certain reasonable extent, because if we blew everything up like in my last playthrough it wouldn’t be a very good show – to follow the patterns of most decisions made by the playerbase in the games. I’d see that as an attempt to reconcile the disconnect between playing a game(lots of control) vs. watching a show(no control).

I probably wouldn’t have but if there are errors as big as those and they’re trying to slide it by me, that’s pretty slimy.

Why must you hurt me with the truth? Counterpoint though: Almost heaven

Well this is already taking points off for sure. But let’s see if the show is good. If they stay true to the games and create a truly unique show, maybe it will be worthwhile.

Hahaha unfortunately Circuit de la Sarthe is my absolute limit when it comes to track length, though even on the Mulsanne Straight I end up spacing out. It’s like a mini break

Sim racing isn’t necessarily too quirky or obscure but I do it to maintain some sort of maybe possibly ADHD. Doing laps around a track really helps with getting myself used to focusing.

It’s especially helpful because each lap around a race track tends to be only 1 - 2 minutes, which is a relatively easy amount of time to keep focus at any one point in time, but keeping it up for consecutive laps and remaining consistent as time builds up in small increments is a different kind of joy to me.

A Toyota Pixis Mega/Honda N Van as a daily and a toy on the side, that’s ideal for me and maybe it should be for Americans too. But I’m biased because I love driving

Yeeeeeeeeees!

If you use your sword to stab your shield, you’ll create an axe with spinning blades

I feel like there should be a Lemmy version of everything now

I had a hard time understanding why people would listen to Rogan after reading all these articles about him. Then my wife and I talked about it for a little bit and I took a listen to an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience.

I’m completely talking out of my ass here but I think Rogan is a good/influential conversationalist. I think people get carried away by his views because of the convenience of his skill, kinda similar to how some people tend to err on the broad side of being agreeable when talking to a stranger for the first time, at least in a North American context. Set up the “conversation” as a podcast and it’s easy for familiarity to build with his audience. People getting familiar with his content then subconsciously decide that they really agreed in the first place because he talks nice and now they’re a fan.

Great orators are amazing at getting you to nod your head in agreement. I’ve “fallen victim” to it as well with Obama in his 2004 DNC speech. Just rose tint everywhere. It’s a little easier to understand through this but of course I am so open to being completely wrong about this. What do you guys think?

I TRIED. SO. HARD.
