The ending of this game outright broke my brain... What a masterpiece of storytelling. I remember getting up and walking around my house just mindblown... 100% recommended, right up there with Bastion.

    [Discussion] Second Place Book Club Selection - Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer in c/sciencefiction@lemmy.world

    Really enjoyed the first book. Started questioning things in the second. By the third, I was hate reading it to get to the end.

    Without spoiling it, the ending completely failed to land for me. Just a hodgepodge of incomplete ideas and loose ends... If it was just the first book they could've told other stories and built a Lovecraftian mythos around it, but instead they had to go for the 3 book deal and by the end it was just too much toast and not enough butter for me.

    Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather in c/technology@lemmy.world

    From an Australian perspective, I wanted an ev and I wanted to be able to take it on road trips. The supercharger network is the most comprehensively built out infrastructure here and frankly the only way to reliably make long road trips.

    The minute they open it up to other manufacturers that advantage disappears; similarly if we had any genuine effort from any corner to build out competing infrastructure.

    It's easy to shit on Tesla because, well, , but in some markets they still hold a distinct and compelling competitive advantage.

    Meanwhile my anecdotal n=1 stranger on the internet story is that I've not had any issues with my model 3 so far: for me, it's been a great car. When I purchased it, the decision came down to the 3 or the polestar 2, and at the time polestar had zero service capability here: based on 12 months of driving I feel I made the right decision.

    bummed out as a solo player (aussie.zone)
     

    I guess I'm just here to vent. I was a day 1 D1 guardian, and have put more hours into Destiny as a franchise than any other game in my library. I quit D2 after Curse of Osiris because PvP was the only thing going, and Bungie had just made Sniper/Sidearm the only viable loadout and it broke me. I came back just after Witch Queen, because the hype was inescapable. Caught up on the lore, got my Scallywag badge and then my Seraph badge... And then in season of Defiance I noticed a change.

    A change I've seen get only worse in season of the deep: there is no way for me to complete the seasonal title solo.

    "Just use LFG". Not the point. I have always been able to enjoy Destiny as a solo player. Always enjoyed the matchmade playlists. Loved the challenge of going after Brakion to get Vexcalibur. Hell, Bungie even seemed to be catering more to players like me by promising in game LFG with Lightfall... I shouldn't have to throw myself on the mercy of strangers on a 3rd party website just to find two people who want to do all the pressure trials.

    I just feel disincented. I don't really expect anything to change, but I do kind of feel bummed out about how much Bungie seems to be moving away from players like me: that I'm no longer the target audience for a game I enjoy the spit out of.

    /rant. Thanks for listening you guys. Maybe it's time to finish Returnal or something...
