- Comment on In order to be allowed to drive, you don't just have to promise to pay if you hit someone, you have to pay in advance in case you hit someone 1 week ago:
So like you can do that if you’re rich. You out $1M in a bond, or show some proof annually that you’ve got that available, and poof - that’s your insurance.
Most people can’t afford a car without payments. So insurance is there so when / if you break someone else’s car, you’ve already made those payments.
Plus some capitalistic grift for the insurance companies, of course. It’s a courtesy they’re providing you, after all.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 2 weeks ago:
The guy they’re interviewing seems so detached from reality, the article links to another with more from the same guy, he’s quoted saying that “it doesn’t make sense to go to some left field location for novelty” specifically in regards to Tokyo, then goes on to say “it’s too easy to do what we know again” which sounds negative? But then follows that up with “nobody is[…]not going to play gta 6 because it’s in vice city”
It’s a really odd take tbh.

- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 2 months ago:
It’s in Tesla stock and only if Tesla stock hits some insane price that’ll make it 2x or 3x more valuable than nvidia, so it’ll basically never happen. But the optics are still so bad.

Yeah. One of the rich guys brought his son. Reported as “university aged” but still.

Yeah we should build a bigger submarine that fits more billionaires.
- Comment on Alien: Isolation is too long because the Alien is too clever, says former Creative Assembly writer 3 months ago:
Dipshits like this is why we don’t have nice things.
Admittedly, alien isolation is a very polarizing game. But it definitely did not need to be shorter, or easier.
When I buy a AAA game for $50 or $80 or whatever I certainly get pissed if it’s only 20 hours of play.
