And just like that, the RBR2NDSEAT curse has claimed another career. Goodbye Yuki, we hardly knew ye

Was there a big contingent of people waiting for a sequel? I recall the original game being massively hyped and actually being pretty disappointing once I played it.

Oooh who is Crisp Rat gonna play this time??

The second article linked in the body of the post is about an incident in 2011 wherein a mother, one of her daughters, and her son were hit.

Beep boop hierarchy of a beep boop machine bzzt beep boop get this AI nonsense outta here beep boop, there's not a single actual cat in this image. Into the bin!!

More wheels is more faster, just like legs. That's why horses are faster than people. This Huffman guy might be onto something

Multiple motorcycles? What's he gonna do, ride them all at once?

I imagine though that they weren't planning that additional stop under safety car. I suppose the data must have showed that fresh hards had a better chance than old softs on a restart like that, and maybe that was correct and we wouldn't be having this discussion at all, had Max not had that slide coming onto the start/finish straight as the race got underway again. Just a bit of bad luck for the team really, I think -- although you're right, they probably would have discussed hards at some point this weekend.

Probably should've driven better then innit

Norris in the cooldown room watching Max crash into George literally said: "I've done that before... In mario kart" lol

Hulk had a bit of a sleeper hit there! Where did he come from on that restart??? 😂

Absolute legend lol

It's a shame for Max that they stuck him on hards after he'd raced so well, but jesus christ does he get away with some nonsense. Ten seconds for intentionally crashing into a competitor? Ridiculously light.

He obviously went for the "ahead at the apex" rulebending* that he's used so effectively by rolling off the brakes and trying to claim the position off track on T1, and then when it doesn't go his way he's lost his head.

He's the best driver on the grid, not just in terms of speed but also consistency, track awareness and shrewd rule awareness too - but when he behaves like this it reflects poorly, the way it did when Schumacher was doing this sort of thing too. I guess that kind of anger is part of what makes a best-of-the-best racing driver though.

*It's not really rulebending, more following the letter of the law than the spirit, which is what makes a fantastic competitor -- very clever, very much maximising every inch of the track and of the rulebook.

I'm having an absolutely torrid time at the end of my 20s, so hopefully the next season is either better or short. 😂

Simply get rid of the vehicle that you use to commute to work, do your shopping, go to appointments, and generally live your life outside your home and a couple-mile radius of it! Simple!

"For the people in the back"? The back of where? What is this man talking about? I'm not on stage. I'm in my living room, waiting for the kettle to boil. Are there people in my house? Who are "the people in the back"? I'm reading this sentence out loud but it still sounds fucking stupid. Help me, bald man with beard!

£12 for a vodka coke last time I went out... No thanks 😂

Fair! I'm in web so wouldn't know either. What kind of software do you work in? I've been thinking about jumping careers lately after realising that I quite like architecting a more complex system, and sort of hate working with front end web dev😂

Interesting!

What kind of system would allow for that? Would queueing help?

Ah yeah that's a tricky one. I guess as developers we'd all like to be ambitious and plan for millions of users but that sort of hardware and architecture takes time and money that might not be realistically in the budget/scope.

I've also not really got insight as to who would have a say on that kind of hardware, whether that's PMs or devs. Probably higher-ups, right?
