Last information is that they are moving to Steam for their 1.0 launch.
At this point I don't think it would've mattered. Maybe Biden would've been kicked out sooner but the primary would've still ended with a boilerplate democrat candidate. It wasn't Harris who lost the campaign, it was the poor campaign strategy put together by the DNC.
If that helps you sleep, go ahead and don't continue reading.
But if you look at how Piastri took the corner in the quali vs how he took it in the race it's pretty clear he deliberately ran wide. Why would he run wide and compromise the exit of T2 if he thought Max would never make the corner? Maybe his post race interview gives a hint, where he explicitly states "if it was roles reversed it probably would've looked identical". It's almost as if Piastri knew he couldn't leave Max any space because Max would make use of that space the same way he would've used that space if the roles were reversed and Max had left him space. I wonder who is more right? A random F1 viewer on Lemmy stating Max would've have made the corner, or Max (who decided to try to take the corner) and Piastri (who clearly cut him off to make sure he couldn't make the corner) thinking he would've made the corner. Definitely a tough choice here.
Oh and thank you for proving my point about how it's always Max's fault.
So like Max and Lando at COTA…
So literally what I said?
had he (Piastri) also gone off Max wouldn’t have received a penalty.
Lando should've given his position back because if he believed Max was in the wrong (and because some people can't be normal I have to explicitly mention Max was in the wrong) then Max should get penalized. He didn't give the position back and got penalized himself. Same thing with Max. If Max believed Piastri left him no space then he should've given the position back because if Piastri was in the wrong he should get penalized. Max didn't give the position back and got penalized himself.
The sidenote wasn't about the exact same move that Max did in COTA, it was about the fact that Piastri did was Verstappen has done multiple times. Every time Verstappen does something like that people come out in droves to complain about the move. But now that it was Piastri you don't see 10 different commenters on what a scummy move it was, instead anyone critical of the move gets downvoted. My sidenote wasn't a defense of Max (nor is it an attack on Piastri because I don't have an issue with moves like that). It was a jab at all the Max haters who like to think they're being fair and standing against scummy moves when really they complain only when Max is the one making the move.
Hypothetically, if Piastri also had gone off would you put the blame on Piastri?
From his driver cam it looks like he probably could've made the corner if Piastri had left space. But I'm not trying to defend one or another as I also have no issue with what happened. Piastri did what Max would've done and Max got a taste of his own medicine.
I think this season is going to be an interesting championship fight between Piastri and Verstappen.
I'm going to say the same thing I said last year when all the Norris fans (or Max haters) were salty that Norris got a 5 second penalty for overtaking Max off track when Max was the one who pushed him off. Back then I said Norris should've given the position back and made a case that Max didn't leave him space which is why he had to go off track. And I think the same applies here, Max should've given the position back and made a case that Piastri didn't leave him room to do anything else. Because let's face it, Piastri didn't leave him space. Piastri barely stayed within the lines and had he also gone off Max wouldn't have received a penalty. But Max did end up overtaking Piastri off track and he stubbornly refused to give the position back so he deserved the penalty.
On a sidenote, I do find it funny how Piastri pulls a Verstappen-esque move on Verstappen and everyone still puts all the blame on Verstappen. I guess it's okay to make moves like that if you're not named Max Verstappen.
This is all I'll address because it sums up everything I think about what you've said so far.
My opinion is that the store page should say “This title is not eligible for a refund due to a reasonable person knowing better than to buy this new”
If that’s a controversial opinion, please feel free to join the dumpster fire below and defend the billion dollar company.
You think it's okay to take away consumer rights to, I suppose, stick it to a billion dollar company. And anyone disagreeing with you (as in anyone thinking consumer rights shouldn't be taken away) are defending a billion dollar company. There's only one (technically two) thing to say about your statement and that's: "It's stupid and it's wrong". There's no reason to give and no arguments to make because it's just that fucking stupid. It's just wrong.
And that's my opinion on pretty much everything you've said.
And just a final addendum. I haven't downvoted you once (nor have I upvoted anyone else) because I don't really give a fuck about upvotes and downvotes. But I'm not at all surprised you feel the need to bring up something that fucking petty.
Just out of curiosity, do you also shit on New Vegas? Because it's technically a Bethesda game that was made after Oblivion, which according to you makes it dog shit.
While you're entitled to your opinion, don't forget that it just your opinion and it's subject to your own biases. And that's your comment, an opinionated take based on the belief that anything Bethesda touches is shit. I know better to try to change your mind. You being blinded by your vitriol towards Bethesda is not my concern.
My message is very simple and I'll preface it with the obvious. Don't buy anything until you've read the reviews. The actual people working on the remaster/remake are not Bethesda. That means that just because Bethesda is shit doesn't mean the game will be shit. It might be good. But we don't know what it will be until it releases and reviews are out, so don't instantly dismiss it simply because there's a Bethesda logo somewhere.
I think it's also worth remembering that this remaster isn't being made by Bethesda. Virtuos are the ones remastering/remaking the game and their portfolio is pretty much exclusively ports, remasters and remakes. I don't know the details of how much they're using Unreal Engine (the leaks state that the game will be running on UE), but I think that pretty much rules out Bethesda's involvement beyond IP consultancy because they don't have UE experience.
I'm all for being critical of the shit Bethesda puts out, but I'm not going to dismiss someone' work simply because the name Bethesda is attached to it.
I haven't see how the level scaling works, but I'm assuming it works exactly like OG Oblivion for two reasons. First is that the underlying game logic is OG Oblivion and second, whether you liked it not, the level scaling was very much in the DNA of Oblivion so it kinda has to be there to feel like Oblivion. That said, the new leveling system looks like it might make the level scaling less horrid.
And so far from what I watched others play, the world is still as barren and boring as OG Oblivion. Personally I'm going wait for Skyblivion because the barren world was the main reason I didn't enjoy Oblivion.
