This is so sad. We will inevitably 'own nothing and be happy' when it comes to media. At least I can still buy physical games for now.
I feel like they changed after the success of assassins creed 3. They lost all their creativity
Yeah so when you download retroarch Shuntaro Furukawa can track your location and come take you away
I see these everywhere now. They are really cool looking. I like boxy suv's that don't try to be a jeep wrangler at the same time. Saw one when I went to get my girlfriends 24 kona. Even their cheapest hyundai cars look like spaceships
I can't find any of these clean/in good condition and not slammed or rusted to shit. It's a wagon so by default it's cool. All the old basic cars like this that are in good running order are like 10k+
Yeah they are everywhere here. I thought they were cool but everyone who drives one is a pickme so that killed it for me. Also how elitist tesla drivers can be.
If youre fine with older cars look at a toyota avalon. The ones they made until like 2013ish. They are fantastic luxury cars and you get that toyota insurance cost. If you want something newer they JUST discontinued the newer gen avalon in place of the crown (there's also a crossover version of the crown)

Everyone knows YTP's. They peaked in the early 2000s and are still going somehow. I never see anyone talk about the "edited" video's. Search "spongebob edited" or any other popular media at the time (usually cartoons from the early to mid 2000s).I feel like I've never seen anyone talk about these even though ones like "grandma's kisses" got over a million views.It seems the only real difference...
I would buy one of these but they have too many stupid problems
I was expecting a lot more of this and model 3's in the comments of this post. I honestly don't know a lot about newer BMWs but I see these a lot in central florida
Why do they need to drive a practical car? Some people have the $$$ to not worry about that and I'm not going to shit on them for that.
These are really cool and have more cargo room than they look like they have due to its long wheel base. Hyundai/kia went from diet coke civic to cool kid on the block. Was looking to buy one of these becuase im in the market for an EV but Im probably gonna get a used polestar 3 because I like volvo and they are a steal right now with low miles.
You'll probably die before the truck does
this truck is what the ford ranger wishes it was
I don't know much about MG because I'm in the USA but this thing looks cool.
Looks like a Hyundai kona and chevy trax had a baby.
How many miles are on the SI? That's the coolest SI year the USA ever got (in my opinion.)
There's nothing wrong with being frugal and practical.
I would not call a car that gets 30+mpg impractical. I'm sure your insurance might be a bit higher depending on where you are because a lot of people rice them out and race/wreck them. I don't really think honda has sold an impractical car in the USA since the s2000.
Cars are an obsessive hobby for me but I work in IT for home depot.
they are notoriously one of fords worst modern cars. they got it right after 2017 but then they axed anything that wasn't an suv, truck or mustang in 2020
My main gripe is that it's so much more expensive than it's competition and offers less. Sound system is great though for it's class. I've driven a 23 outback limited
I LOVE these. These are sick. I always find myself wanting one.
A wagon that pretends to be an suv. I cant stand new subaru infotainment, tech is kinda behind in the car and its way more expensive than it's competition
Mk1 and mk2 focuses are the shit. Europe loves em

Title says it all. What does your car say about you?
I mean that's just what I see here. All these people live in gated communities walk their corgis and stare at children at their neighborhood swimming pool.
Cybertruck, hummer EV, Rivian r1T are all driven by old northerners with vacation homes down here in central Florida. Essentially the truck of "I'm well off but have no personality"
Yea infocom games are the shit. I still play them from time to time.

Games didn't have a lot of sustenance back in the day. I'm talking Atari-early NES era. People online will tell me they would play all day and night. However how would you even play a game like asteroids ALL day?When I ask someone in person they always tell me they would play for like 30 minutes with friends then go outside. I feel the exact same way as someone who loves old games. I cannot...
I would say wait until after church/school to make it less traumatizing for children to see government workers come take little Timmy away and its also disruptive to religious ceremonies. I don't really see them being able to really hide out in a church or school anyway
This is why I always go back to Windows. I constantly run into issues with Linux even on Debian. I don't have time to troubleshoot for an hour why I can't open gimp or something. Not to say that I don't run into issues in Windows, it's just way less frequent. I don't see the point for my own use at this point because of WSL
Hey all. I don't promote much on here but I wanted to do this for my girlfriend because she loves her cat and likes the interaction on her video's of him. He's a great guy and deserves it anyway. Thank you.
