Honestly, I’m still a bit surprised that anyone still plays it.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s really never been good.

My favorite feature of the game was when you went into a friend’s only game, just so that you can get a handle on mp before subjecting yourself to actual mp, and halfway through driving through the city, you would merge into a public game and get shot to hell with no warning, and when you let out an exasperated “awww come on” the game triggers voice chat, which you never set up and didn’t know the game had it, and only realized when the 10 year old kid that just fragged you comes on the mic with a “cry more noob” or some similar retort.

Oh yeah, super fun game.

Oh no, anyway.

I’ll just leave this here:

Yes and no. If people had access to correct information, rather than every passing thought anyone has ever had ever, including complete fabrications and things that were never meant to be taken seriously, then they’d probably be okay.

Even making a claim about what is true and factual seems to be a point to be argued on the internet lately.

We’ve given everyone a voice and access to everyone else’s voice as well as access to all information. Most are lost in the noise, and can’t find the signal.

My only argument is in the idea of finding which device has a particular IP address.

Guess you’re running laps around the campus staring at pegs for a while to figure out which one it is.

I’m suggesting that my “investment budget” is nothing.

I think this one flew right over your head.

Specifically, I’m making light of the fact that no matter how hard I try to make a living wage, I still struggle to make everything work, indirectly shedding light on the recent discussions about stagnant wages and out of control inflation, raising costs to live while providing me no means by which to afford those increases.

Most months I barely have enough left over to buy myself a single meal at a restaurant as a once-a-month treat, nevermind have money set aside for retirement or have an “investment budget”.

Okay, a small percentage of nothing is…

If you intentionally load edge there’s a prompt you can say no to that asks if you want it to continue to try to pull information from other browsers.

IDK if that will prevent this, but it’s better than nothing.

IMO, this is underhanded at best. It’s as if some middle manager was tasked with getting more people using edge and they thought to themselves that most of their oblivious parents/grand parents/brothers/sisters/cousins/friends/whatever don’t really notice what browser they’re using (and frequently they don’t care), so let’s just move them over to edge as seamlessly as possible and they just keep using it because they’re too oblivious to even notice it’s not chrome.

To be fair, they’re right, but also that thought process is so morally bankrupt that it should be criminal. IMO, that a lot like replacing someone’s Toyota Corolla with a similarly designed Ford with the same engine under the hood, overnight, and hoping they just keep using it.

I don’t want to bash Ford here or anything, but they have very different ideas than Toyota on how to accomplish common tasks. They’re “the same” but very very not the same.

A better automotive comparison that I’m aware of would be the Mazda 626 and the Ford probe. They used the same engine but were very different cars to use. They performed the same basic function, but it was a very different experience.

I had a 626 ES V6 back in the day. If I woke up one day to find that someone had swapped it for a similarly spec’d probe, I would be livid. I don’t hate Ford, or the probe specifically, but I drive the 626. I know that car. I want to keep using that car. I don’t care that the probe is “basically the same”. Fuck off and give me back my 626.

I sadly spun a bearing on that 626 and when I heard the knock from the engine I knew it was time. I still miss that car.

You’d rather be spied on by your carrier… Got it.
