Alright I’ll say it. I hate how pricey cars and transportation currently are and would totally go for a decent middle of the road (no pun intended) EV that costs like $10-20K less than whats currently on offer. Now I know theres a lot of unfair competition and nuanced takes around this topic so someone please tell me why that might not be the best stance to take, I’m trying to be a little more informed.
Ya that UI is awful. I’m in a science program and random procedures would be placed in whatever week they corresponded to so we would have to comb the whole site for each course until someone found it and posted a link. Blackboard is THE WORST!
Is that blackboard? worst experience i’ve ever had, that interface actively detracts from learning because its so confusing. Our school recently ditched it due to student feedback.
I think if its implemented properly it can be done. Don’t go full Ubisoft and blast store ads on your start screen. I think if you know your audience and put some thought into humorous/thoughtful or interesting content on billboards in GTA or racing games it cold blend in quite well. Even monster energy in death stranding wasn’t that bad, it was so obvious it was funny. I think thats what works.
I’m worried that that isn’t what traditionally sells well and everything has been focussed-grouped into absolute vanilla boringness. we’ll see what happens.
I’ve actually heard it’s incredibly difficult to retrofit office space into condos/apartments.
Lets turn them into office paintball arenas.
I have been waiting SO LONG for this to come to game pass.
do we not already have one?
I think I read somewhere that its the flavouring thats the main issue, at the time they were going off of guides for safe chemicals but most of those are for eating, not smoking. While they’re safe to eat (popcorn) lungs are a different system. I think it was lung macrophages that accumulated these compounds and they’re not sure how to process them so over time they just keep accumulating and cause disease. I’m not sure where the science is now I read that a few years back.
I’ve heard the books are good too i’ve been meaning to read them
its completely ridiculous too from a value perspective. like really? 10 years ago this was 300k, what about it now makes it 1.3 lM? same with groceries I just don’t believe that the prices are “real”. I’ve seen a bunch of ads for toronto condos too, I feel like they’re pumping a little too hard and it’ll hit a breaking point. IDK, thats just the vibe i’m getting.
I’d love a housing crash. I get thats unpopular to owners, landlords and those that just but, but I’d like one.
gee I wonder why. not much to be happy about these days.
ya its to emphasize my bewilderment!
I like their games but its such a weird company. like… people had been asking for bluetooth for wireless headphones on switch for years and it had just never been a feature. then one day… they like, just turned it on and said hey you can use wireless headphones now! like, that took 4 years! absolutely bizarre.
For my understanding its more a combo of overwork/underpay. A bunch left the field altogether after having annual increases capped for years, it just wasn’t worth it anymore. Might as well go somewhere where you’ll get adequately compensated.
Whats insane to me is there is a huge shortage of doctors but I know at least 4 or 5 people in my cohort that are on the 3rd or 4th attempt to get into med school, and these are decent applicants. Then when you do get in you’re 6 figures in debt and signed up for 4-8 more years of schooling so of course everyone heads down to the states where you can make 2-3X what you would make here. Add the massive privatization push, awful working conditions for nurses, too much work/stress for not enough money and of course you’re going to see a massive exodus out of the system. Its just a mess
I dont thik theres any game quite like it, some amazing track designs!
Ya thats where I’m at right now. On one hand I detest the data/privacy nonsense and the unfair subsidies but… on the other I think a fire under these companies asses to innovate and compete is long overdue. Also our EV infrastructure just doesn’t seem like it’s quite there yet. Something has to change because I just don’t think cars are worth what they are asking right now.
