I love this. Just like what happened with the gold skins in MechWarrior Online.

The "truck" has a terrible design, and often is incapable of completing basic tasks a truck is expected to do without great difficulty or some weird quirk.

Youtuber be like:

but it's a great truck, i love it.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 11 months ago

Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don't see the "truck" part.

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.

[-] Starbuck@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Trucks with covers are a thing, it’s called a tonneau. What’s not normal is for them to be permanent.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

That's not entirely true. The high end of aftermarket covers are electric, require the semi permanent installation of rails, wires, and the box, and are fairly cumbersome to remove. They're not permanent in that they can be removed, but practically no one does this. Rivian's truck has one built in as well. Most legacy manufacturers leave this to dealers to do as it's an easy high profit accessory for them to upsell.

[-] Starbuck@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Yeah, that’s I mean though, it’s optional and not a fundamental design of the truck.

Someone on my discord posted the warranty terms and apparently it doesn't cover unusual damage or useage such as exposrure to rain, sunlight or being used off a paved road. So no its not a truck, in fact it doesn't even stand up as a car.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

It has a bed with a cover on, raccoons think it's a dumpster and try and open it.

Generally if you get a truck and do truck things with it, there's 2 specific things a truck will have that no other class has:

  1. A protected bed that you can put bulky and dirty/stinky items into for transport
  2. The ability to pull a large trailer

But hilariously your average crossover is fully capable of hauling an inexpensive trailer and a couple thousand pounds of whatever if not more than that, which covers 99.9% of the lifestyle arguments most pavement princes truck owners make for why they need a truck

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, for sure trucks do not own pulling trailers, and they are fairly bad for cargo also. Truck fans will hate it, but a minivan can take care of both of those probably just as well, if not potentially better. The one use case is oversized cargo, which is almost never hauled by anyone. In the off chance you need that you can rent a truck or uhaul.

My first live sighting of one of them I realized how god-awful ugly they really are. Even in some bronze/pewter terrible color. Or maybe it got left in the rain and that's just corrosion.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I forgot about that! Good times. They got team killed/crippled pretty often too.

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes, it was funny when the entire game would stop just to focus on killing the gold skin user. Didn't matter what team they were on, they became the collective target of everyone in the match. Good times, indeed.

[-] Die4Ever@programming.dev 89 points 11 months ago

So is this what they call "cyber bullying"?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

The only kind I support.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 77 points 11 months ago

But that's like the entire game anyway... You mean to tell me you play a last man standing shooter and let people live?

[-] Archelon@lemmy.world 205 points 11 months ago

Quoted in the article:

“i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“

[-] Mighty@lemmy.world 66 points 11 months ago
[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

If only they could muster that sort of unity against all mxt and fomo.

[-] rekorse@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.

Rocket league has/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

almost makes me want to play Fortnite just to join, but that feels like added engagement because of Tesla so I won't

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

That is astronomically fucking funny

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 20 points 11 months ago

I'm so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

It’s a game where you summon towers out of your ass and then get sniped by a 12 year old who fucked your mom

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 22 points 11 months ago

So it's CoD but with building mechanics

My wife's been playing a bunch of it and honestly best I can tell it's an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with a easy-to-use game engine for beginners to make mini games in (similar to Roblox's various games) with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing.

Which is kinda confusing given Epic also has Core which is also an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with easy-to-use game engine with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing

Oh and Fortnite has its official Battle Royale mode that's largely a copy of PUBG

I guess if it's a situation where multiple enemies are in sight everyone would focus on the cybertruck so you'd be even more targeted than normal (I have no idea how to play Fortnite).

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

That's exactly what will happen (that ugly nazi car is not yet available ingame).

[-] variants@possumpat.io 13 points 11 months ago

I guess everyone will work in solidarity to kill the player who picked the cybertruck character, then once that's done the remaining humanoids will just play like normal

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Driving a Cybertruck in the game would be like being a child molestor in the penitentiary. Other inmates may have beef with one another and be ready to shank a mfer if they get froggy; but if a child molester joins the cell block, they team up on him first.

[-] merari42@lemmy.world 58 points 11 months ago

No idea how Fortnite works. But can you (realistically) use the Cybertruck to cut off your enemies fingers with it's automatic doors.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 37 points 11 months ago

Dunno. But it seems like its bulletproofing has been accurately translated into the game.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 30 points 11 months ago

So it's not very bulletproof at all?

I wish I could do this in real life. I've seen two in my city and they're visually arresting.

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 39 points 11 months ago

Just spray them with a hose

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 33 points 11 months ago

That honestly is a very interesting subject for a beginners exam to criminal law

[-] Thann@lemmy.ml 14 points 11 months ago

unless they're parked right next to your roses, I imagine it would be pretty easy to prove malice

[-] Krzd@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

But could it not be reasonably assumed that you were only attempting to annoy the owner and not cause harm?

No idea if that even makes a difference, would be funny tho

[-] Delusional@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

"It was ugly and dirty and I was just trying to wash it."

Case dismissed.

[-] Thann@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago

I was trying to wash the ugly off

And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 months ago

Sadly, they're only expensive trash.

The dude who owns the new Dunkin Donuts in town parked his out front with a Dunkin sticker on it. Totally a legit business expense.

This wouldn't change how I play? I already destroy everything on sight (in Fortnite).

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

The change is if you see one, there's an implied truce between every non-Cybertruck-owner until they're dead, then it's back to a free for all.
