@KiwiEV I just really like EVs :) every car can be a torquey thing that's never annoying to drive when you hit the hills. Even a small economy car like this.

@Rjdlandscapes @ukuku @KiwiEV at this rate that's the best thing that could happen to GM. And this is coming from someone who historically was a huge Chevy fan.

@Dozer old meme, still funny :)

@thejpster isn't a circle an equisided polygon where the number of sides tends to infinity?

@jellycrystals It's amazing how influential a teacher can be. A bad teacher could sway a smart kid away from pursuing a particular subject in the future. So much wasted potential.

@maxim wow! Graphically so cool!

@Rjdlandscapes sometimes reality looks like an Unreal demo.

@Solid_Snail I'm actually super impressed by this port, sure some slow loading, but graphically it is fine. The Switch is today's ZX Spectrum, conversions are compromised but impressive nonetheless.

The upcoming #Xbox controller seems to be pulling #Microsoft out of the controller dark ages straight into the present.

Two key features that were sorely needed are shown here:

* Accelerometer: Gyro aiming has become essential to many for FPS games, the days of having to use a third-party controller that allows you to map the gyro to the mouse or stick will finally be over! Native gyro implementations will be possible.

* Direct to cloud: Bringing the Stadia controller experience to Microsoft cloud gaming, this is really nice to have too! While Microsoft's cloud gaming isn't anywhere near as usable as #Stadia was it is slowly improving, I hope that eventually, it will catch up to where #google was years ago.

@gamingonlinux great! Nice bunch of folk.

@ouij indeed. EVs are objectively nice, with lots of torque, super quick acceleration, incredibly quiet, and can be refuelled at home. However, it's tough to come to terms that eventually replacing your current £30k SUV or truck with something sort of equivalent will cost you £70k and it isn't exactly equivalent because it struggles to tow without running out of juice fairly quickly.
