When Soylent originally came out, I was on the hype train due to the name. To me, it was a worthy extrapolation of the Soylent Green idea, where the masses would need to resort to a sort of prescribed nutrition. Naturally occurring foods would be for the wealthy, while the proletariat would be relegated to processed abominations to receive enough nutrition to survive. It was like a neat little roleplay, getting to eat a dystopian food product with some real benefits.

Now it feels like we're starting to come into that reality. For many right now, unless you're willing and have the time to get creative with actual soy and lentils, Soylent is legitimately one of the more affordable ways to

I bought winter tires from my MINI dealer, turns out the truck was late. I have a roughly $32,000 F56 with JCW Pro Tuning kit, all of the badging changed to JCW, sport kit and that sort of thing. I tried to go for having a JCW that wasn't crazy and admittedly gaudy, I don't like the gen 3 interior stuff for the JCWs. I don't have backup camera, parking sensors, the big touchscreen with nav, folding mirrors, the advanced camera features, power seats, etc. It's basically a base Cooper S with sport packages.

This loaner is a late 2018 Countryman Cooper S worth about $45,000. The only thing it's missing is JCW bits, folding mirrors, and the advanced forward camera features. So I thought, as so

I was going to block off this entire post with a spoiler tag, but Reddit's formatting is goddamn terrible and it won't do it if I line break unless I put 11 separate spoiler tags in here and that would be a mess.

So the complaint is that Addison looks funny. She does, she looks ridiculous. A couple of her lines are terrible. She's not relatable in any way.

That's not Addison.

Look at her eyes. See that greenish eye color? Now go and look at the other human NPCs around the Nexus. Huh. There's that same green eye color. Sure, they could have fucked up and just given everyone the same eyes, and at this point I do not doubt that it's a serious possibility. But let's consider the evidence tha

Post in question here

The post linked above has given me a great opportunity to show what you absolutely never under any circumstances say to customers. Let's look at some choice bits:

While we sympathize with impatient people...

You absolutely never call someone impatient, even if they are impatient.

...we can't fail but notice that a small fraction of visitors are prone to over-reactions and inflating a beta give away mishap into a playground for libel, caricatures & defamation of My.com for unsustained allegations of fraudulent commercial practices...

So thanks to a combination of cold weather and the fact that MINI decided to use a SUPER cheap plastic hose, my PCV hose cracked right in two.

"That's not so bad, right? Cars generally just run poorly with an intake vacuum leak."

NOPE. Doesn't idle. You can rev it and it'll pretty happily keep going, but the second it falls back to idle it just cuts right out. It is eerily similar to the "cold start problem" except it doesn't keep going after a few tries.

To top it off, the end attached to the intake manifold doesn't appear to be accessible on the non-S without removing the intake manifold... which doesn't appear to be possible without getting underneath it. I'm buying some tubing to sl

Now, this isn't to say those with constant low FPS and crashing issues aren't experiencing real issues. They definitely are.

But the hitching and FPS drops are classic shader caching. This happens in games made by small studios that cannot pre-optimize and cache for all possible systems. For me personally, this behavior lasted about 20 minutes. It may take longer.

It saddens and disgusts me that we live in a time where gamers can't wait for shader caching. This used to happen with pretty much every game. Battlefield used to take 5-10 minutes to start for the first time as it cached shaders. Yeah, for a $60 game they should have gone with a publisher who could have done more initial opti

So, confirmation of how terrible the servers are has already started showing up. "200ms what a joke! Literally Hitler!" However, not only is the "show server delay period" option clearly not a traditional ping measurement, it doesn't reflect how game servers actually work.

If you've played with it, you'll see that it only updates when you move. Seriously if you stand still and use abilities, it still doesn't update. This clearly means that the measurement is taking place with your movement messages to the server.

Fine, right?

No. Online games typically update different player actions with different priority/frequency. The likelihood that the BnS servers are updating WASD movement at th
