Wah wah wah, get back in your cuck chair playing your video games doing nothing with your life, American Inventor. No one's stopping anyone from talking about what they want, it just gets tiresome when you come in here and have nothing else to talk about except video games and slobbing on Sony's cock like they pay you to do it. You're awfully sensitive over that topic, but hey, I'm the one acting like a pussy, LMAO!

I'm still saving for another 1977 Trans Am. I totalled mine on an icy road back during my University days. A solid one with low miles run around $40,000.

Prices seem to be on the decline. I have nearly $30K put away for one but I'm still on the fence.

That sucks, man. They aren't getting any cheaper, at least not for ones in good condition. I've seen prices of rollers/projects go for a handful of thousands. I bought mine before the prices really went up. With prices skyrocketing for performance parts and body shop labor, I'm glad I got my overseas contract when I did.

I found this cool vid on youtube the other day, you guys should check it out.

In it, an FoH poster tries to communicate with some BB.com posters in their own language. I'm not sure how much of a rapport was formed between such disparate groups, but it was still an entertaining watch.

Yeah Boomers buying the classics up like crazy. Every classic car I look at is $15k for basically a bucket of rusty bolts. 70 Chevelle, Gran National, Buick, Duster, etc. Can't say I blame them.....It's different, but I like the 96 impala. Would love it with a supercharged LT4.


I'm thinking I settle on a ~2010 Challenger rt with a 6 speed. Not as cool, but Pretty affordable, safer, more creature comforts, etc. Will definitely be a collectable 20 years from now.

At that age you're just getting started and haven't even figured out and or mastered your own physique. To call yourself a coach is completely retarded...jumping on a bunch of dangerous substances at age 20yrs also retarded...They all have the, "I want it now" mentality when the truth is they need to spend a hell of a lot more time under the bar and doing a hell of a lot more research...

Taylor Meyer, 34, is accused of beating his wife, Deborah, with a wine bottle and stabbing her repeatedly while the couple’s three young children slept upstairs in their Jeffersonville home on Feb. 14 before boasting about the murder to the victim’s possible lover.

Meyer’s grand plans for the perfect Valentine’s Day stemmed from growing suspicion in January that his 36-year-old wife was having an affair with a co-worker, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by outlets this week.

In an attempt to turn the tide, he bought her a dress, ordered dinner and had their kids draw pictures of the Eiffel Tower as part of a “Bringing Paris to you” evening, WAVE reported, citing the documents.

Meyer gave his wife a card with a handwritten message inside and the two even danced to their wedding song, he reportedly told police.

But to her husband’s eyes, Deborah did not appear impressed or appreciative.

“It was the hardest I’ve ever tried,” he allegedly moaned during an interview with investigators, Law and Crime reported. “She just didn’t give a s–t.”

His wife left the home for 20 minutes, which Meyer said he believes was to meet up with her “boyfriend.”

That stuff is out of control, there are a lot of teens jumping on various PEDs/gear and they're going to pay for it in the ER instead of paying their dues in the gym. Of course they all get on social media and monkey see, monkey do. Ego lifting is also out of control. Speaking of "coaches" I heard about a story recently where some teen girl from India recently died after trying to do a 600lb squat that she was nowhere near ready / prepared for. Her coach is a retard.

Guess who's back.

You're stupid as fuck, dude. I call you out on crying over video games and the only thing you can do is keep projecting. I might be losing hair, but at least my skin isn't the color of shit.

Love that car. When I was in high school there was one for sale that was a 454 SS in great condition for $6500. I wanted to buy that car so fucking bad. I still kind of want to.

If you can find one and come up with the cash, you totally should. Those cars aren't going to get any cheaper as time goes on. Chevelles are great looking cars. It would have been nice if they kept the 70 body style for 71 and 72

Sinistkir13 Sony definitely dropped the ball with their PC strategy. The major issue i have against PC is this:

I really enjoy the console experience due to its simplicity of use and longevity. The second reason is that when games are made for my specific hardware configuration which, I just get better quality games. Now I'm not talking about the DEI and feature length cutscenes and Sony devs trying their hardest to make everything into a movie. I'm just talking about games that work and perform really well.

This gen PS5 has barely had many of those experiences while being more than halfway in. Not only is Sony pissing the bed with their studios but also their GAAS Strategy. I worry that sharing limited resources to another platform would mean even less for me. Not only to mention the overall diminishing sales of the console hardware over time

Click to expand...

I know what you mean about regarding the performance and function of games, although these days there is honestly next to nothing preventing a good experience on console alongside PC when it's all the same architecture versus the 360/PS3 and prior generations.

In fact, at least from what I understand about Sony/Playstation, I've read that they offer solid dev kits and support, so things aren't just getting worse for the PS5, but gaming as a whole thanks to numerous factors that have only become more prominent over the years recently, e.g.:

1. We have hit the point of diminishing returns in what you can achieve visually for the hardware available that comes with an exponential performance tax to see middling gains, from console to budget PC to the most high end, thousands of dollars setups.
   
   This is contributing to the rising costs to develop AAA games and why there are barely a handful of games worth looking at this gen. Sony has been especially guilty of chasing visuals and is reaching the threshold of almost desperation with some of plain wasteful and stupid remasters they've pushed out, which is just pissing money away and dev time.
   
   
2. Optimization is seeing much less priority from the top with the mentality of pushing the visual envelope over stable frame rates or visual clarity, while the talent pool is drying up from the bottom to handle the increasingly demanding task at hand with more complex games.
   
   A somewhat minor side of this is an increasing reliance on licensed engines like Unreal a bit more on the third party side but not necessarily if you look at Microsoft's studios, under the presumption that a more accessible and commonly used engine equates to these people automatically knowing what the hell they're doing.
   
   Now this you actually can chalk some of this up to DEI as well because they're no longer hiring the necessary number of legitimately qualified developers when they're more interested in looking for pronouns and rainbow flags for a toxic positivity safe space instead of making video games. Studios no longer have people stepping up risking to rock the boat by say saying, "um, what the fuck is this?," which applies as much to how WTF the piss poor stories and characters are as to shoddy state games are releasing in.
   
   
3. There is the growing use and expectation of ray tracing, which easily tanks the possible performance for some spastic little details that most people would completely miss in most situations of normal gameplay. Developers might get an easier lighting/shadow solution in the short term, however this comes at the cost of performance, and again they are less equipped than ever to optimize for these increasingly complex games.
   
   
4. Combine all of that and there is now a near total reliance on frame generation and resolution upscaling to compensate for the overly-demanding visuals and lacking of optimization. As mentioned before, the economical hardware for consoles or lower end PCs simply is not enough to combine all of the pieces without some forms of sacrifice, and developers have turned to those two "solutions" over anything else, especially when they no longer have the talent to do anything else other than what takes the least effort or skill.

So now you have games that barely move the needle with how good they look compared to their predecessors, and the most up to date hardware struggles to nudge it any further regardless of how much money you throw at it, which is where consoles naturally tap out early.

That's why at least the hypothetical resources allocated to developing for more than one system is not really going to have a negative effect outside of company-side incompetence and mismanagement, especially when the key difference console releases and the PC ports is that the former has no guarantees of running at X resolution at Y frames per second, or running at all on individual hardware (think the Xbox s and it's shit hardware and the documented headache that has caused). The industry's growing problem of incompetence and mismanagement isn't even a secret now, either, and we already know that Sony's first part studios aren't immune with Naughty Dog being an easy example (why no Factions 2?), and now they get to be the proud owners of the poster child of bad management, Bungie.

In fact, the additional revenue will not only offset any expense porting it, but help future games receive the necessary development budgets with the added benefit of even more confidence in the larger audience interest. However, that is assuming that the game itself is actually good, which circles us back to Sony's problem right now where they're investing in games nobody wants to play. That is what will 100% negatively effect the performance and quality assurance behind games for console players because Sony has been drying up their funds wasting development money and time.

I see you mention emulation for those older games. Been really enjoying SB because there's no great cinematic cutscenes (outside of the badass boss fights), no big emotional acting moments between characters, no pandering. You just go thru the levels, fight some cool enemies and experience a good but digestible story along the way. Nothing fancy, you can tell the majority of the game was spent on the gameplay, enemy and protagonist design.

All in all, this just gives me the vibes of an old school PS2/PS3 game, but instead with modern gameplay and fidelity. They even struck a great balance with the boss difficulty as it manages to be challenging enough, without that souls-like level of frustration. So far at least.

Nice! You've got me sold, because that's really all I look for these days. SB's studio is one that Sony needs to take notes from alongside the Astro Bot studio because the Eastern developers understand their market. Meanwhile, I could probably count the number of Western games I'm interested in on one hand.
