that's a ridiculous concept from start to finish:

"you stood near a cop when he killed someone, so now you're a murderer even though you objectively didn't kill anyone and we know who the actual killer is"

this is completely insane.

it's not "a different animal", it's insanity.

just insanity.

if it isn't murder, then why is the kid charged with it?? that makes the entire thing even MORE ridiculous!

you forgot the necrophilia in Under The Dome! ;)

not true; that's a developer thing, not steam itself.

steam offers it as an option, it doesn't force developers to use it.

plenty of games bought on steam can be run entirely without steam.

"practical" and "pragmatic" implies proof, soooo...source?

all of the words you listed that use a soft g are loanwords from other languages (pretty sure they're all french) soooo......yeah. no wonder those have different pronunciation.

when you look at anglo-saxon words the difference becomes clear:

  • gift
  • graveyard
  • ground
  • gay

all hard g's.

mixing up languages is the common denominator here.

the G in GIF stands for graphical, neither english nor french in origin, hence the confusion about pronunciation.

alternatively; English is a terrible mess, and the only "correct" pronunciation is reached through general consensus. if the majority pronounces something a certain way, that's how it should be pronounced.

f95zone has it almost certainly, if not, request it in a request thread, done.

works for pretty much any NSFW title ;)

you don't have a choice when it comes to data collection:

if it's allowed literally every manufacturer WILL do it!

see: the exact situation we're currently in!!

so, no, you don't have a choice (other than buying an older model).

this isn't how "the market" does anything.

there's no downside to outlawing spyware in cars.

and it hasn't made anything cheaper, what the hell kind of cope is that??

i absolutely love it when it's paired with manual transmission and an auto-break function:

when you stop, for example at a red light, and press the break while standing still for a bit, it goes into auto-break mode.

when you then release the clutch while in gear (neutral gets ignored), it automatically releases the hand break, so you can perform a hand break assisted start from standstill without having to touch the actual hand break!

this is excellent when you've stopped at an incline, and generally really useful!

but i get the skepticism...i was extremely skeptical at first too, but you get used to it quickly and then it feels weird when it's missing or turned off in another car... there's just no reason not to use this feature it's simply great!

I've seen waaay more manual handles break than electric windows...but that might be somewhat biased by the sheer age of most of the cars with manual windows...still, rarely ever even heard of an electric one breaking...is that common where you live?

because barely anyone even knows about HUDs, since there are barely any vehicles in the "won't cost you both kidneys" price segment with HUDs in them...

...but yes, they really should be in every car. it's just a no-brainer for safety, for the exact reason you said: simply having your speed right in your field of view alone is worth it!
