Midnight Wolf

Their Ring camera that points directly at the desk they keep this notebook on: “it’s showtime”

I appreciate your input.

Trivago.

Gonna have to be more specific…

But that’s what I’m saying - there’s no real visual change, even though there has been decades to do so. Its not my fault they don’t innovate, lol.

My first experience with Pagani was from NFS and even back then I was like ‘jfc who designed this’ like 15 years ago. I cannot understand what people see in these cars. Sure they they are fast, but fast cars are a dime a dozen. Rarity? Okay, so trust-fund babies and midlife crisis customers, yawn. I’d much rather get out of something that I pause, turn around, and look at as I’m walking away - something I’m proud to own. Sure, technically they are interesting, but for cars specifications alone don’t give me a chub. The body, now that’s where it’s at.

That’s my thinking, anyway.

Real talk, Pagani makes some of the worst looking cars of the 2000s. And they are more-or-less the same vehicles, just with different carbon body panels and liveries.

It’s like Nintendo and the Mario franchise. Every few years, new paint job but basically the same product. But for some reason people cream their pants over them all the same.

Meow! :3

Yes, the fuck is wrong with you ‘morning people’?

Yeah, I’m doing 3-2-1 as well, though my off-site backups (two) only cover essential data, not my movie collection or anything else ‘expendable’. I have 2x 10TB WD Red Pros alongside 2x 4TB WD Reds (they would now be Pros, before the name change). For the 10TBs I use daily-or-more snapshots, local full backup once a month that I disconnect physically (mitigate chance of ransomware attacks), and daily off-site. Along with raid1 (not a backup yada yada). So I’d need two drive failures, plus the external drive to fail, plus both off-sites to fail (different companies, different continents). I still want to get another local drive, backup to it say every 6 months, so if the 3 local disks all simultaneously die, I still have a chance with #4. ‘soon’. This year hopefully.

But regardless, I’m going to dread when one of them alerts me. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

(the 4TBs don’t get backed up beyond snapshots as it’s just ota dvr recordings and backup drives for another system)

When one of these drives fail and you have to resilver with a new disk: ‘3 weeks remaining’ 😱😬😰

The Sims 1 OST. Always makes me calm and happy.

The remaster, yes. The original, no.

Ah, a proper government-funder endeavor.

Hard disagree. I’m still in my starter car in Heat because the physics are 110% garbage. A stock 240 should not be able to pull off drifts like it has 800+ more hp than it has, or the fact that it forces a drift when you merely want to take a standard corner. In street tires. In a standard circuit/sprint race. Or how it’s tied to online servers, thus when the servers freak out, your single player event kicks you off. Or how there are objects that retain their lowest LOD no matter how close you are, or how long you wait. That’s just off the top of my head, it’s been a while.

I got the ‘premium’ or whatever version for $1.25 on steam a couple years ago. I played the 10 hour demo before that, reviewing it blind for a friend and then revisiting it 6 months later, each for a few hours. ‘surely, it’s been a couple years, they must have fixed it some’. Nope, not even a bit. I want my $1.25 back.

Shit, I think Unbound is a decent upgrade from Heat. And I don’t particularly like Unbound, so that’s kind of both a complement and an insult at once. The bar was so low it was touching the floor, it could have only gotten worse with DRM that opens a backdoor to my machine or something. I spent $10 for Unbound, and I don’t want my $10 back for that installment (I mean I’ll take it if they are offering but), so… Heat is baaaaad. Unbound is meh, but meh beats the hell out of baaaaad.

You mean like NFS World? I was a closed beta tester. While it was a P2W system (buy powerups, etc) it wasn’t ruined by it, and if you could beat a nfs game you can do just fine in World.

I only played for the first year or so - and haven’t played the 3rd party rebirths - but World had potential. And EA killed it, like the dumbasses they are.

E: word

And the multiplayer mod!

Look up videos of the MW beta. It was supposed to be a MW, just like '05. Time constraints killed that plan.

I’m a huge (old) nfs fan, and I love HP '10 and MW '12. It’s no U2 but both are damn good games. I fired up MW not too long ago, just to cruise.

Burnout was the shit too. Mostly for Crash Mode. Paradise was cool with the open-world but them kneecapping crash for whatever the fuck they called ‘bounce your car endlessly down the street’ mode was fucking atrocious. EA selling the ‘ultimate box’ on the pc without the fucking island - and no way to get it - was bullshit, always been pissed of about that.
