  • I mean, werent the SAG terms putting Hoyo in a lose-lose situation if they sign it since they have some non-SAG actors which do not want to join SAG? If Hoyo signed the SAG agreement then they would have to either force the non-SAG actors to join SAG against their will or replace the non-SAG actors with a SAG actor if they intend to hire them more than 3 times.

    Sounds like SAG just wants total monopolistic control of the entire Voice Acting industry to me.

  • No.1 Why the fuck are you bringing up sony on this, we're not on reddit, fanboys foff

    No. 2 Sony had a well known (for people with two neurons to rub together) partnership with Nintendo to have their tech (CDs) on Nintendo's next console, they backstabbed sony and that's the event that spurred the PlayStation. If you want to call out sony, NEC were the first to bring CDs to console.

    No. 3 You're probably young and that's why you are not familiar with EEE. Microsoft's strategy is literally the same as cancer cells, I don't know how anyone can defend a corporation like this but, here we are...

    No. 4 Microsoft has a history of copying better build/designed/thought out products with a facsimile electro trash designed to get people to subscribe to one of their cancerous offerings. If you want more details, you're welcome to hear more about it on your successful Zune player.

    I don't know who pissed in your cereal this morning, but I hope your day gets better, holy moly. You could probably even impress a Redditor with how rudely this response is written.

  • It is not retro. It is "Modern," like how art from the 50s and 60s is called "Modern Art."

    Here is an easy chart:

    1st Console Gen (Magnavox Odyssey) : Historic

    2nd Console Gen (ColecoVision) : Antique

    3rd Console Gen (NES) : Vintage

    4th Console Gen (SNES) : Retro

    5th Console Gen (N64) : Classic

    6th Console Gen (XBOX) : Renaissance

    7th Console Gen (X360) : Modern

    8th Console Gen (XBOX ONE) : Post-Modern

    9th Console Gen (XBOX SERIES) : Contemporary

  • I mean, Sony is also guilty of this. The PS1 would never have existed if they didn't copy the Super Nintendo (they even have nearly the same sound chip, designed by the same person even). Everyone copies everyone else. The Steam Deck is a SteamOS copy of a Switch but better, the Switch is a copy of a GameVice Wikipad but includes a 2015 NVidia Shield tablet.

    If nobody copied anyone else, very little progress or advancement could be made, because everyone would just keep reinventing the wheel.

  • IDK, reading this really solidified the idea that it actually is just Fallout: Britain. Gameplay is incredibly similar, and there appear to be a lot of instances of "Fallout has X, so this game has X too." Kinda like "I will copy your homework but change it a bit so its not too suspicious."

    Also, a spelling mistake in literally the first sentence is not a good look for whoever the Editor is.

  • Helldivers 2 is different. The game already released, and then Sony tried adding PS Account requirement after many people had already bought the game.

    Forza Horizon 5 has not released on PlayStation yet, and anyone that currently plays the game does so on platforms that they do have a Microsoft Account. For example, playing the game on Steam still requires you to link a Microsoft Account.

    The Helldivers 2 things wasn't that the game needed an account, it was because it was added on later. Its also different from games like Horizon Forbidden West or God of War Ragnarok because both of those are singleplayer games and should not require any kind of account to play the game as they do not have online gameplay.

  • I mean, any car can be a daily driver lol, mines 57 years old this year.

    This community is just about cars. Anything about cars. Anyone can make a post about cars. It doesn't need to be gear head only stuff, some people post about EVs and that's not what most people think of when talking about gear head interests. I dont think anyone needs any technical knowledge to post here or anything. I don't see why someone couldn't post something about daily drivers, or any other type of cars really.

    This community just has pretty low engagement despite being a default community, likely due to the average Lemmy user demographic having a pretty big overlap with the type of people that do not like cars. That's just the way it is. I wouldn't know other communities that might be more active. But more activity is not shunned, if you want to.post here more often about cars, feel free to.

  • No, theyre not bad at all. Theyre just more temperamental than other brands. I obviously am not physically inspecting the car so I cannot say for certain, but it seems like it will probably be fine for a while.

    Don't cheap out on the plugs, definitely don't cheap out on the ignition coils, just get OEM. Ironically, I think OEM can sometimes be bought cheaper than aftermarket. Also, be careful with the connectors on the harness, the plastic can sometimes get brittle depending on the local weather and if they break you are going to have to either replace the harness or repair the end, both probably ending up in a similar repair cost (IIRC those engines have a short harness for the coils that is removable from the main harness).

    Transmission fluid is replaceable, its a simple drain and fill. Fill port is under the air folter box but be careful because it is also plastic. Its a 3/8 square drive. Don't overtighten it, also it has a rubber o-ring, it only needs to be replaced if it is damaged or deteriorated. Crack open the service port on the front bottom of the plastic trans cover and fill until fluid begins to steadily flow out of the port then close it back up. Pretty easy but its kinda hard to get to since you gotta take stuff out of the way first.

    All things considered, Kias and Hyundais are mostly easy to work on once you take the stuff that gets in the way, out of the way.

  • No. I mean, maybe but I don't have much interest in American cars made after 1974 or without a V8. They can be tuned properly and driven to get about 20mpg, and an EFI conversion can make it better, but again I dont recommend it for most other people.

  • If you are actually taking care of it, and its not giving you problems, I don't see why I wouldn't keep it. I mean, except that I personally think theyre pretty ugly, but thats just my opinion.

    I would keep an eye out on something else and definitely build up a backup fund, just in case. But again, if you are truly taking care of it (which is different from babying it or "driving it like a grandma"), at least the mechanical parts, then chances are pretty good that its not going to grenade on you randomly.

    Personally, I would never own a Kia or Hyundai, not because they are bad (theyre only as bad as the maintenance put into them) but because I prefer old American cars instead. I find them easier to work on if something goes wrong and stupid cheap mechanical parts. Expensive on gas though. But its not for everyone, and I dont recommend it unless you have time and knowledge, and want to own one.
