All my aussie friends who've been to the US mentioned the fast food there is really gross and the portions are concerning. Food quality difference maybe, I'm not sure

The expectations from gamers is pretty cooked nowadays man, pay attention to the louder and larger voices on game forums, x (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, steam etc.

$5m to develop + $13.2m to market

Equivalent to about $32m in 2024. Not disagreeing, putting the value into perspective. Also consider the scale of vice city compared to your average AAA, even AA game. Games have significantly higher expectations nowadays.

Game studios aren't individual people it's hundreds of individuals working together to make a game. There's no excuse for elden ring to be so laggy, there is most definitely some management decisions pushing back performance upgrades to the engine.

Checking my blind spot has saved me from driving into cars several times on the highway.

Outer wilds if you enjoyed subnautica's sense of wonder and exploration. Not replayable but a unique once in a lifetime experience.

Helldivers 2 if you enjoy halo firefight and it's expansive sandbox. Very replayable.

Teardown is very replayable and will run great on your rig.

Curious why you went for 64gb of ram instead of 32, because the extra dosh could have gone to a better gpu. Always use the extra on the gpu or monitor.

Not sure about the egulf, but the Volt in Australia is a Holden badge and I am pretty sure is a hybrid. The cheapest you can get here is a Nissan leaf, which I honestly had no idea existed until now.

Regardless, all manufacturers are adding electric to a lot of their range, as the years go, they'll be cheaper second hand and I bet that's when adoption will sky-rocket.

I like to think most people, at least where I live, know cars burn up the planet. Problem is most can't afford a $50k AUD EV, even on finance, but a 2011 Hyundai shit box or a 2005 Toyota hilux is less than $10k.

Oh also, cars are being made to be replaced within a few years. Cost and build quality of modern vehicles pushes me away from buying an EV. Hopefully in the future, they become more ubiquitous, cheaper, and we can solve the problem of handling old batteries and stability.
