I looked it up, and a 6700XT costs the same price as a PS5/Xbox in my country. Add onto that all of the extra components you'll need to build a PC and it's way in excess of what a console costs. Sorry, but the cost of entry for PC just doesn't compare to consoles.

Look, you're welcome to nitpick graphical fidelity, but I think current gen console games running on a 4k tv look excellent. They're also a fraction of the price compared to PC hardware. That's a better proposition compared to PC gaming these days for anyone looking to get into gaming. I get that that's not a popular viewpoint among the PC crowd, but that's why I posted it.

That's my dream too, and why I'm actually sort of onboard with Musk's vision for car metros. The issue is that I'm 100% sure they'd also want to expand surface level car infrastructure to facilitate that network.

My centrist compromise that I hope will take off in European cities over the next decade is that most two lane city streets will become one lane one way systems with protected bike lanes, pavements and trees taking the space that's been freed up.

I'm not interested in changing people's minds. I'm in favour of literally telling people to stop driving because the fucking planet is on fire. If that adds 30 minutes to your commute, so be it.

Meanwhile I live in a city with good public transport, such that it only takes 15 minutes longer to get around, but 95% of people still drive. That absolutely justifies regularly reminding people that acceptable alternatives are available every time they listen to the radio.

Railing against anything that reminds you of cars is not the path to systematic change.

Yes it is. That's why this community exists: to discuss alternatives to car dependency.

Why does public transport need to be exactly as quick as driving? I leave myself an extra few minutes to walk to the bus in the morning with no negative consequences compared to driving whatsoever. It's not the end of the world if getting from A to B takes a little longer. This is exactly the type of dogshit logic that makes it next to impossible to get anyone to do anything differently.
