No, thank you.

I am very familiar. It makes it even worse.

IN what way would that be evil? They produce the very thing that keeps us alive by transforming what kills us.

I don't know if it's still the case, but in my minor hockey years in the 90's in Canada it was mandatory to wear neck protection. The ref would be standing at the door and you couldn't get on the ice if you didn't have one. This apparently didn't make it's way up in the last 30 years.

And honestly, they are ok with all the rest of the equipment but the fucking neck guard is a step to far? Seriously? It's one of the least invasive part of the equipment and people have actually died from having their throats slit by a blade.

Bingo.

All the niche communities exist it's just that nobody comments or posts anything for months on end. I actually think that the existence of many of the same communities on different instances is the main hurdle here. Drawback of the concept of the fediverse I suppose but it does make the experience on Lemmy much poorer in that regard.

Is there still some that use it because all the others did? Copycat style just to fit in and feel legit to unknowing listeners?

Phillips is just common in consumer goods as it's designed to cam out when over torqued by the average joe. Better to have it stripped but tight than a broken head.

Still sucks balls when you know what you are doing though.

They’re not thinking about these things as games, generally, but specifically how they’ll be perceived by the Xbox audience. It looks to me like they discounted BG3, at least in part, because it couldn’t split-screen on series S. They’re thinking about games you play on the couch, in a group, maybe during a party - not games you play solo for hours or days on end.

And that's what I mean. They are wrong on all counts because they don't understand what makes a game successful. They only consider the monetary success of their own. They also think "xbox" audience is somehow different and want something else than other platform users. Sure couch is cool but let's not pretend that this is really how people are gaming nowadays. People like all games when they are well made, complete from the start and just fucking work. Throw a bit of good writing in there and you have a GOTY contender. BG3 is just far above that only and that's why I'm saying if anyone an MS looked into BG3 and Larian and chose not to sign, they are incompetent idiots.

That's sandalous.

Honestly not a big issue. The vast adoption of the standard is going to make it much easier to find charge points as they will always be compatible. This is a good step in the wide adoption of ev's. It was bound to happen anyway.

Hit the nail right on the head. This is just a company trying to rebrand helicopters. And bad helicopters at that. They are banking on naive people who think this is actually a novel and viable technology. It will at the very best be another toy for the super wealthy to send the kids to Disney.

These already exist. Almost anything Platinum Games and the Devil May Cry series for example.
