He'll just say you don't know how to drive a car and the Chrysler you had that inevitably broke down was a quality vehicle in the right hands.

Sounds like you’re approaching this from an engineering standpoint, asking logical questions like “why are you redlining the connector so close to maximum design tolerances without doing at least the most basic of things like ensuring proper load balancing or creating fusing to prevent...

Fact-based arguments don’t work on him. He’ll just come back with some stat like “it’s 0.5% of cases”, which frankly sounds made up and inconsistent with global R&D efforts to solve this problem. Recall these are the same people who claimed the 12VHPWR issues always broke down to “user error”...

He just ignores everything that contradicts what he wants to believe. He keeps posting one link from GamersNexus saying that if it were an issue, then Youtubers would be talking about it. Meanwhile, GamersNexus HAS talked about it. Many times. All tech Youtubers have done so. Several (like...

Yes, and since you didn’t read the entire text, you’re also not responding to what I actually said. If you want to talk fantasy, I’ll give you two glaring examples of wokeness ruining storytelling that have nothing to do with skin colour, because clearly that’s becoming a red herring. In...

I got Mass Effect Legendary Edition for free on an Amazon Prime giveaway in 2022, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Great freebie though. Thanks, Jeff!

I'm not hung up on anything. I can see you haven't read anything I've said earlier either. If you want to keep arguing with yourself, go ahead I suppose.

I'll spell it out for you: Him: M76 said: It's the easiest thing ever: Demanding for a certain group to be more represented for no particular reason, not because it better serves the story or the setting just for its own sake. That is woke. A minority group existing organically in a story in...

No one said that. The guy you're responding to didn't say that. As a matter of fact, he said the opposite of that. Respectfully, I'm not quite sure who you're arguing with.

Not only that, it literally says in the screenshot you can turn off all of the woke stuff if you don't want it. So they gave the player the choice, and no one complained. The five players that desperately wanted to set their pronouns as "they/them" were satisfied, and everyone else was...

Having LGBTQ+ characters doesn't itself constitute woke. There's a marked difference between having a character that's gay, and having to sit through a lecture on non-binary they/them pronouns like in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Woke developers focus on "the message" first, and the story...

The team that made it one of the all time greats is long gone. We should be cheering the closure of studios that are so far beyond what they once were and have no idea what their core customer wants because it will hopefully incite the management of other studios to do a post-mortem and say...

I wouldn't compare BioWare to Ferrari. I would compare BioWare to Jaguar circa 2024 "Copy Nothing" ad campaign, where Jaguar's customers were left looking at the "new image" the company was trying to push and collectively said "WTF are you doing to that brand? Who is this for?".

Everyone likes to blame investors, but investors don’t shut down profitable enterprises. Saudi Arabia didn’t kill BioWare. Not delivering what the customer wants killed BioWare. EA corporate no doubt had something to do with their inability to do so as well. The guys who made BioWare great are...

Linux's decentralized open-source nature is both it's biggest asset and its biggest weakness for various reasons. Windows will continue to dominate the corporate landscape because it's "one ass to kick" for corporate managers and many people are trained to use it, but MS is doing a lot of...
