Bad company 2 nooooo!

Admittedly haven’t checked in for ~a year but last I checked that game still rips. “Portal” or whatever it’s called in the new one captures none of the magic.

RIP

Shrug, it’s been a while and I don’t remember which affected my decision at the time.

Personal anecdote:

When I initially decided to drop Chrome, I moved to Brave because - as a chromium-based browser - it supported the same set of extensions I’d grown accustomed to.

That being said, the crypto stuff weirded me out enough that, once I’d weaned myself off the extensions, I switched to Firefox.

Maybe my opinion is dated/anecdotal.

My belief re: critics comes from early days of Tesla, when the concept of a fast ev was very foreign to most auto journalists. So, most of the reviews were something along the lines of “I wanted to hate this car, but goddamn if it isn’t faster than insert critic’s favorite sports car and way more useful too. I’m converted.”

Re: people in general, I’m basing it off of people I know who own them. That’s admittedly a very small sample size (~a dozen), but their opinions are the polar opposite of what you’ll find on random Internet forums. There’s definitely selection bias going on in both directions.

For what it’s worth, I’m very aware of the QA issues and no I don’t own a Tesla myself.

I’m not defending this practice (it’s gross), but people and critics almost universally love many people and critics who actually own/drive Teslas love them.

So, you’re kind of mischaracterizing them as “worse than other cars.”

edit: it’s unsurprising that this comment is downvoted in a thread hellbent on shitting on Tesla. I don’t know what I expected.
