This late in the Switch’s lifecycle, I’d argue that the existence of a new game as big as a Prime sequel is good to remind people of. Haven’t touched my Switch in a while, but will likely be picking it up again for Zelda and Prime.

They did great with Metroid Dread, putting a new spin on an old classic.

I have some faith that they won’t just be rehashing an old formula and that this “Beyond” aspect will have some gameplay twists.

This trailer seems meant to reassure those of us who have been waiting decades for a true successor to Prime that “yes, in fact this is it”.

I expect we will see more trailers as it gets closer, teasing some of the new story and gameplay innovations once they are more polished.

Microsoft is confused.

It hurt itself in it’s confusion.

Isn’t she the one that spilled those details which caused him to lose roles and sue her? I guess if she didn’t want those details public she wouldn’t have shared them right? Maybe I’m missing something.

Took a peek in worldnews recently and yeah it’s bad. I don’t remember it being so bad the last time Gaza was bombed. It’s like they cleaned out worldnews for the IPO or something.

The article mentions he worked for Dean Phillips’ campaign, but it’s not clear whether he was at the time these crimes were committed.

I’ll layer on to the other replies which are spot on…

One reason I’ve soured on hydrogen is that it’s overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.

This is a really in depth article about a study that found that “well to wheel” efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it’s 25-30%.

I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.

Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I’d rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.

Not only that, he said recently that these protests wouldn’t be happening if he was in the White House. His positions on Palestine and left-leaning protests have not exactly been subtle.

Why?

I’m not sure I’d want to be swapping my battery out like a propane tank. Not everyone would follow charging recommendations, etc.

Maybe they will save money because they don’t have to offer healthcare?

I’m not sure it’s true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about American public opinion, since they do benefit from American military support, but let’s assume what you said is true.

Even if Americans protesting won’t stop the genocide, won’t end apartheid, I’d prefer that those atrocities are not committed with my tax dollars, with support from my government, in my name. The lesson learned from 9/11 shouldn’t have been “we need to enact regime change anywhere in the world where American interest are opposed”. It should have been “Americans better make sure they are OK with the things that their government is doing abroad”.

I’m not OK with it, I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that Gaza can be levelled with “made in America” munitions. I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that oil companies and other big business interests have friendly regimes to collude with in the region as they scam the people out of their resources and freedoms.

I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3’s dedicated physics chip or something like that.

One of my cats will headbutt me if I say “headbutt”, he’s like a pokemon or something. Hard enough that I can hear a thunk.

This is a good point, I’m more inclined to support a unionized company. Still… my understanding is that GM and Ford (and others) all circumvent unionization by manufacturing (to some extent) in Mexico. I guess it depends on the individual car. I’m supportive of Federal and State EV incentives that prioritize made in the US, unionized manufacturing.

Yeah, this is my dilemma. I have heard positive things about Ford and GM in regards to them making it easier to skip the dealership, so that at least addresses the convenience factor. Another factor in wanting to avoid the dealership is that I don’t trust their business model where they sell you a car that they want you to bring in regularly for maintenance. I’d rather buy from a company that doesn’t see vehicle service as a revenue opportunity. Does that apply to Tesla? I’m not sure, but I know that’s how the traditional dealership model works so it’s hard to trust those companies.

Replies to a thread with lots of well-thought out comments with some BS and doesn’t even elaborate.

You seem to be missing the point. Show me a car company that’s not screwing over the consumers and the workforce, and I’ll buy from them. Not every consumer has the luxury of maximizing altruism with their car purchase. At least those supposedly untrained employees are US citizens getting paid a US wage. Do you honestly think that things are better at the Mexican plants?

Maybe Honda and Toyota or Subaru? But they’ve been too busy sucking off the oil industry with their hydrogen push, and now their EV offerings can’t compete.

You’re probably right about that, but he’s so blatantly crossing the line in ways that would result in a regular Joe getting thrown in jail…

Can we survive as a society of he continues to make a mockery of the rule of law? Isn’t it important to show that the wealthy are not above the law? Every day he breathes free air is evidence that the justice system is broken beyond repair and it gives fuel to those who want a violent revolution to burn the system down.

Cars and car companies suck. If I could lug all my sports shit around in an e-bike I would.

I imagine the conditions aren’t great at all these “American” car plants which are conveniently located in Mexico for maximum abuse of labor.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, there just needs to be alternatives in order for consumers to vote with their wallet on these issues.

For something like a car which is not optional for me, it’s either an ICE from a scummy car dealer with a scummy company behind them that uses questionable labor practices, or an EV from a scummy car dealer with a scummy company behind them that uses questionable labor practices, or an EV from a company with a scummy CEO that uses questionable labor practices. At least with a Tesla you can cut out some of the scumbags? I’d be interested in Rivian too if I could afford one but they start at 70k.
