The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money::Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money.

No shit. I'd bet money the Cybertruck design isn't coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.

I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.

That's funny, I've describe that monstrosity as "the truck of my dreams... when I was 4," more than once.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I mean, if I were working on that project I'd either laugh so hard everyday or I'd have to quit. It's just so comically bad.

I am also shocked Elon is not suing all the 4yr olds out there that have "stolen" his design.

It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

I've said it before, n64 games had more polygons than this. It's a virtualboy truck and it gives you a migraine to look at just like the virtualboy did.

actually... that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!

No Mercy was the best

Huh, I've never seen anyone spell WCW/nWo Revenge that way before.

The game play is great, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or do they? Let me know). But no one’s making retro N64 era transitional 3d graphics is what I meant. Mario 64 is a great game but I don’t think I can think of a single game that actually tries to hit that aesthetic in modern times.

Super Kiwi 64, the Toree series, Dusk, Anodyne 2, a billion indie horror games, Frogun, Signalis, A Short Hike

I stand corrected. I think I’ve only heard of “A short hike” in the list you posted, but Super Kiwi 64 is… i don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in 20 years. Very interesting list, thank you.

It's kind of becoming a popular aesthetic again.

The Satisfactory version is far better, square wheels and all.

There was reporting recently that the engineers hated it so much they designed a reasonable one in their free time

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The rumor is that it was scribbled on a piece of paper as an idea and the engineers were forced to make it verbatim.

So does this count as another "Simpsons predicted this" moment after Homer basically does the same thing?

Gentlemen, we are successful in getting all the woke leftists salivating on our shit, but we need also produce something for the real men. And since I'm one of them this is the people like me would want.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

If someone rolled up in that, I'd not consider them anything but a "real sucker".

"A weak man's idea of a strong man" comes to mind.
