  • What I hate even more is they more and more stores are disabling the mute button, leaving you with Loud and Louder as your only volume choices.

    When I worked self checkout at Safeway, first thing I would do at the start of my shift is mute every self checkout register. You can tell if a customer needs help from the lights alone; no need for the obnoxious, repetitive script. But unfortunately a lot of cashiers are too stupid to realize what the lights are for, so they crank the volume so that their Boomer ears can hear them. Drives me nuts.

  • Boooo! The World Is Not Enough was superior in every way. Fully-voiced dialog and a working physics engine, on the freaking Nintendo 64! No Oddjob bullshit in multiplayer, either.

    Never understood why everyone sleeps on TWINE and praises GoldenEye. Every single time. Y'all missed out on a really good sequel.

    Edit: sigh* See what I mean? Why does everyone hate this game!?

  • Thank you for not saying Resident Evil 2 (or worse: Resident Evil 4). I don't care what anyone says, nothing tops the original. I wish Capcom would hurry up and get off of their asses to work on a proper remake already. The remaster is so old and out of date.

  • Mate you don't have to talk down to me. I used to own a hybrid; I've mastered the art of throttle control to keep the engine from kicking in so I could run on battery power for longer periods of time.

    Furthermore, this car has 300bhp; if redlined every shift, I'd be flying down the street. I rarely shift above 2500RPM.

    You may think you're trying to help, but you're just being condescending. Please knock it off. And take a Z for a test drive sometime. Then and only then will you understand where I'm coming from.

  • My sister's pretty dumb but couldn't break ElementaryOS. Hell, it took her a full year before she realize that it wasn't Windows.

    IDK how, cause it looks more like MacOS than Windows; point I'm making is that if ElementaryOS could work for her, it could probably work for your grandma.

  • The problem is that I'm not the best shifter in the world. My 1st to 2nd shift is often rough, which causes TCS to kick in cause I keep popping out the clutch too fast. And when TCS cuts fuel in the middle of a gear change, it causes the car to buck and stall, which can cause an accident. So I turn it off.

    I've been driving manual since 2008 and honestly, I've never really had this issue before in other cars. Just my 350Z. It's significantly harder to shift smoothly in.

  • ESP, or Electronic Stability Program, uses the brakes to brake individual wheels and keep the car going in the intended direction, when it detects that the vehicle is sliding out of control. It is often paired with TCS—Traction Control System (usually controlled with the same button)—which cuts fuel to the engine when it detects wheel spin. Can't lose traction when there's no power going to the wheels.

    In other words, it's the fun button. Press it once when you want to have some fun (turns off TCS), press and hold it to have a lot of fun (turns off both TCS and ESP; professional drivers only).

  • Meh; pro drivers turn it off anyway, so it doesn't interfere with your inputs and prevent you from Tokyo Drifting around corners.

    I wish my traction+stability control button was next to my knee too, so I don't have to keep reaching for the button every time I start my car.

    (FWIW, I'm not a pro driver. I just turn it off because it's a bit too aggressive in my 350Z. Even the tiniest bit of wheel spin cuts all power from the engine and doesn't give it back for at least 5-10 seconds, which is especially annoying when you're in the middle of a gear change.)
