Big “the purpose of a system is what it does now” energy

As they should be. Heavier vehicles do exponentially more wear on roads.

As an American, nobody has to buy them at first. “Light trucks” like pickups and SUVs weren’t always big in the US, but because they were more profitable, aggressive advertising campaigns turned SUVs from being something mocked for being unsafe, unwieldy, and inefficient into being what nearly everyone drives. I hate it. Infrastructure has shifted to accommodate them to the detriment of everyone else. Don’t let it happen to you. The last several years the top 5 best selling vehicles in the US have been pickups. Not because anyone needs them, but because advertising has turned them into a cultural staple, despite their inconvenience.

But it’s okay, because MY company is AHEAD OF THE CURVE on those 95% losses

I’ll have to dig up finer details in a bit, but it’s a backup device I got on discount years ago. i5 what gen I’m not sure, gtx 960m, I may have replaced ram up to 16gb at some point and it’s running on an ssd at least.

Time to sue my credit card company for preventing my purchases, but failing to prevent a purchase that was detrimental to me

Agreed. Fear and Hunger has it’s issues and I would not broadly recommend it to anyone. I would also say that the FREQUENCY of sexual assault in the game, and the presence of some weirdly sexual status effects like anal bleeding are a bit overboard. That being said, when one of the earliest enemies can sexually assault you, or maim your character in a way that leaves you able to keep playing, but effectively crippled, it really nails home not just that the world is dark, but that your assumptions about what is in the game don’t apply here. Anything could happen. REALLY anything. And exploring a harsh, hostile world with that expectation set is one of the best parts of the game, because it’s a unique experience that you just can’t get at that quality anywhere else.

Supposed to be, according to markering. Isn’t. I think only half of SUVs sold in the US even have 4 wheel drive. This is fine because in the US most pickups and SUVs are just massive pavement princesses anyway.

Not to mention google has fought to replace real PCs in grade school computer courses with chromebooks, which are glorified tablets. Recent gens simply aren’t as familiar with proper computers as phones and tablets.
