Willing to throw my hat into the ring here and say that I haven’t even bought it yet because I know my pc can’t handle it. I will wait for performance patches (or look at finally upgrading my 5 year old pc)

I also think they’ve done everything right. They called it out BEFORE release, but released anyway for the subset of players who can play, with the promise of improving it for the rest.

The ones who can play it got lucky, the ones who can’t and are all pissed about it are the same ones who would be bitching if it got delayed.

Better than what my brain suggested… “Tom Cruise has finally lost it, then.”

I have some bad news, you're gonna want to sit down for this… it's 22 years you have to do over…

Ye, meant to reply to /u/DessertStorms, not you, sorry

Actually, its because there’s no way to specify alt text right now. What you’re specifying with the ![text](link) format is a label, which from a technical aspect is distinct from alt text. Op is correct, alt text shouldn’t render by default. Not because of abelism, but because that’s how they work. Don’t be so quick to start throwing isms at people.

You know you can see who’s downvoting right? It’s a lurker account with “Texas” in the username. Make of that what you will.

I don’t agree with your first two paragraphs, but I 1000% agree with the last one.

Ultimately the vast VAST majority of ALL emissions come from sources outside of most people’s sphere of influence anyway. The Steel industry for example is dirty AF, and yet for some reason they get a hall pass

This is always used as an argument against going electric, but it’s flawed for a few reasons.

1st, that 94% doesn’t hold everywhere. I live in NZ. We’re at about 80% renewable for grid energy.

2nd, the type of people who can afford, and choose to go electric for environmental reasons, are the same people who are likely to be installing solar panels and other renewables at the property.

3rd, even you have pointed out that your 94% figure is well out of date… because most governments (Except a few derps) are trying to increase the percentage of renewable energy in their grids. I’m not sure where you are, but assuming you’re in the US, it’s actually 78% now, and 60% for the UK

4th, the cars themselves generate power through solar, and regenerative breaking. No, it’s probably not enough to keep you running without plugging in to the grid, but it is a further reduction.

There are environmental issues related to electric cars, but they’re in the manufacturing. Not in the reliance on grid energy. Assuming that the car survives it’s full lifecycle, even only relying on grid power with their current percentages of renewables, the overall impact is STILL a net reduction in emissions.

There are plenty non-environmental reasons for going electric too

TL;DR: Ye, nah, the grid energy argument doesn’t hold water. Love it or hate it, electric cars are the future.

Good advice for outside the fediverse too

Fuuuuuuuuuuck. Welp. That’s it. The internet is closed for business. Thanks for stopping by
