Volkswagen Shuts Down Tennessee Plant’s EV Production at the Worst Possible Time

Devils advocate, it could be because the ID.4 is terrible? This is anecdotal, but yea.

I have a friend who is an OUTSTANDING car mechanic, the shop he owns/started has everything from VW to Ferrari. He's been doing this since the 90s.

He has an ID.4 he bought to daily drive to said shop. He talks a lot about how big of a piece of shit the car is. Like every single time I see him it's a new complaint. I've personally seen panels just start falling off, the infotainment is always janky, you have to manually turn on the A/C and can't even do so when in reverse. The list goes on.

He legit has one single compliment, that his AWD model has outstanding acceleration. Which is nothing special for an electric car...at all.

Hard agree, they made a moba that was easy to balance, stripped out the tedicious shit mechanics, and had multiple cool maps. And if you were a Blizzard fan, all the amazing characters for the cherry on top.

Resident Evil | Official Teaser

IIRC when it was announced, he said it's a unique story with new characters in Racoon City as it falls apart.

I think it's smart to deviate from the games entirely, and just use the RE universe. Won't have to worry about doing justice to a game -> film adaptation.

007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans

I beat it already. It is a lot like Hitman, granted its been many years since I played a Hitman game.

The biggest is large levels with multiple paths and options for reaching your objective. Sneak through a series of vents and dodge guards; or lure a guard into a closet, knock them unconscious, take their key, and bluff your way in. Things like that.

If you get caught and enemies shoot at you, License To Kill goes live and you can use guns.
