Consequences of your decisions is what makes this game special. You're going to have a bad time going forward with this game if you cannot deal with the fomo.

Right? And Roland has that deep menacing voice while Hart...

They could've at least went with Terry Crews if they really wanted a uber popular figure. He's also far funnier.

Kevin Hart as Roland?

REALLY?

ANd If they don't include Jack, they clearly have 0 understanding of what made this series any good.

Yeah weight is the best advantage for carbon imo. Of course when you're riding it's a marginal performance gain nobody really needs nor want. But when you're not it's a massive difference. Try going up a tight spiral staircase to reach you front door with a 25lbs roadie. Now do that twice a day to commute to work and suddenly the steel part really, really sucks. Even more recent options are still 50% heavier not to mention as expensive as some cheaper CF options, not all of them are 10k. Aluminium is really the only good alternative as far as I'm concerned.

And they also think looks is a valid argument.

It didn't read like this was the joke to me. Disney isn't in a creative rut, they're purposefully not trying new stuff.

In this particular case, it does. Whales are air breathing mammals.

Not all of Starfield is randomly generated. This specific example is from one of the main big cities that are definitely hand built. The random stuff is mostly deserts and outposts like what players can build. So even according to your standards, this is a correct and legitimate comparison.

Everybody will. It's the new standard connection in north america. They don't really have the choice so the sooner ther better.

TLDR: It's voice lines.

Thanks chat gpt. But I'll give you my advice as a 10 year mechanic.

Don't. You'll look like a tool and you'll ruin a perfectly good truck. It's certainly not a "good investment".

Strong world building. No matter how farfetched the technology/society/species, if there is enough backstory or precedent anything is believeable. For example, Isaac Asimov's robots aren't realistic at all but he starts by laying down a set of rules (three laws of robotics)and wrote entire books worth of stories detailing their development. This not only allows readers to suspend their disbelief and accept that sentient robots exist but gives context and relatability to all of your characters/events/locations. The Expanse acheived the same by simply rooting it's fiction deeply in reality which makes it inherently relatable. The rest is normal storytelling.
