The death of the touring car, and even the sedan really sucks. We need more large 4 door cars that can fit four adults comfortably with reasonable trunk space. My first car was an old Chrysler LHS and it’s still the most comfortable car I ever drove.

That was one of the last old people brands, especially with the vinyl top.

You can’t exclusively support the hardcore audience, but you do need a level of support for it. The hardcore players are the ones doing the research, writing the strategies and guides, and finding or exploiting bug and balance issues.

There used to be semi regular Posts tracking posts and monthly active users. You might be able to find them. Over the past couple years, there’s been a consistent flat to negative trend in activity, the general consensus to this wasn’t concern, some were even happy.

That’s all Lemmy has is meme and shit posting, and even those are getting slower.

Lemmy is shrinking significantly since the boom of the reddit appocalypse. It’s a problem a lot of people here like to ignore or pretend it’s not a problem.

That’s pretty likely in Florida, they just lost a seat that was R+19 the election before. If they drop margins into the +5-7 range it could be a 2010 level swing in the Democrats favor this time.

The top 20 appears to be play time, but it would be nice if it was ever really mentioned.

Interstate compacts require congressional approval. This one doesn’t have that. There’s also a good argument that a state giving all it’s votes to someone the state didn’t vote for in the majority violates the rights of it’s citizens to a republican form of government.

It’s not just battles trying to delay it. There’s very good legal arguments that congressional approval is required at a minimum in addition to states signing on.

This compact is extremely unlikely to ever be enforceable. The ensuing court cases would make 2000 seem minor.

The US system mostly works for a lot of people. There’s not a lot of people willing to risk things getting worse for them so 10-15% of people get something better.

There’s also massive doctor shortage issues that will only get worse with healthcare reform. Even if cost wasn’t an issue, there wouldn’t really be access.

Halo CE is definitely a but dated now, but 2 is one of the best campaigns even still. I’m not sure it can be overrated though. 3\odst is some of the best multiplayer experience there was before the series was infected with CoD.

I see said the blind man, as he picked up the hammer and saw.

He cares about his fictional moderate Republican family.

I doubt it. Wow is still a massive cash cow. The other franchises also haven’t been mined of all potential value either.

By what definition is the 30% cut high? It’s the same percentage for Apple, Google, and Steam. Brick and mortar is generally around 50%. Amazon is a large range, but 30% is roughly average or even low. eBay charges less, but doesn’t do anything other than facilitate the transaction. Epic charges less to small developers, but that’s also mostly marketing.

It’s not about the epic store being a success. It’s about getting fortnite on steam with little to no fees being paid to steam. Just like the lawsuit against apple.

At a minimum it should be popular enough to be a good reference machine for indie and AA developers to ensure good performance.

There’s plenty of games that you could say the same about that didn’t get the traction. It’s still a hit based industry. It’s not a knock against the game, it’s a reality of the industry.
