The brake pedal in the first picture is more than twice as wide as the accelerator, and it’s only about ~50% wider in the second picture

Yeah, it’s not “emergency brake” levels of slam (where you would indeed slam on both pedals), but it usually gets pressed a lot faster and harder than how you’d press on the braking pedal when braking normally.

Basically, monkey brain expects the left foot to meet with a pedal and will absolutely settle for the brake pedal if not reasoned with. I’ve done it a few times myself.

Because there is no inherent benefit to easing the clutch “in”. At least that’s the reason they gave me when I was learning how to drive, and my mechanic doesn’t seem to disagree. Basically, you want to disengage the transmission from the engine as soon as possible (especially when you’re doing that to benefit from the engine brake), change your gear, then gently ease the clutch “out”

You slam on the clutch to change gears. And you get used to changing gears while decelerating to use the engine brake as much as possible

I guess it could be construed as racist when it’s literally “master/slave”. But I have never seen it as a normalization of slavery because there usually is no value attached to the terms, it’s just describing the relation between them. And I don’t think acknowledging that a slave generally doesn’t have much say in doing what their master tells them is racist in itself or endorsing/normalizing slavery.

But also, I am white, and there are other terms we can use that can describe this kind of relation just fine, so, whatever. I just get mildly annoyed when some stuff that was working perfectly fine gets deprecated just to change these terms and I have to adapt to it.

It depends on the keyboard. I’ve used some in the past that tied that feature to the current language

Eh, I’d still call it a win by Boeing’s standards

Who needs 1000hz 4k when 120hz 2k is already stupidly expensive to achieve with most AAA games

Or all the backpacks that will supposedly last your entire life. The companies that actually mean it have them under warranty for several decades though (or even until the actual end of your life but it requires some form of registration)

IIRC gorillas are indeed pretty chill if you respect their territorial instincts, as opposed to, say, a chimp that might try to kill you more or less on a whim

Imo, as soon as you write it as 0.25 multiplied by a fraction it works, because you can then easily see that it’s the same as (1/4)*2

Yeah I was gonna comment that 0.25*(1/0.5) = 0.5 doesn’t look nearly as weird

Joke’s on you, there is no mistake in your comment.

I have never seen it framed as “it is an absolute disgrace that this game does not have a hard mode, and if you think otherwise you are an idiot and/or ableist (or whatever the opposite would be)” tbh. Which is pretty much what the easy mode advocates were saying about Sekiro the last time I followed that debate

I’m in southern england and it’s solid all year.

Well, there’s your problem

Germany can do that because they opened new coal plants, plus they can buy cheap (mostly nuclear) electricity from France when their renewables are performing suboptimally and they need to meet high demand

Amen to that

Yeah, Raymond Hill made a great plugin, but the people maintaining the lists are the real MVPs
