Hilariously, you are right. It certainly wasn’t his intention to do so, but it is happening. Strangely aligned with China spending like crazy to pivot to a green energy super-supplier. End of an era, although no one will admit it yet.

Dogs are not great at grammar and punctuation. They are still good dogs.

It’s a hot mess out of the box, but the core mechanics make good bones, and they integrate the rules into the lore in a way that makes metagaming hard (Or in character, anyways, for example at high perception, you can actually see stats)

My favorite system only uses d10s, and they should be color coded. 9 colors are assigned, and you always have to have a random, and frequently you will need to roll two of the same color, but you also have to keep track of which color was for which effect… And as I introduce more players, I usually end up giving them a set to play with… I’m sure I’m well over $2k on this over the entire life of the hobby.

The dice goblin cannot be satiated. Just a few more…

The only piece I think you missed is that nation states and surveillance corps will buy up foreclosed data centers for pennies on the dollar to use them to power a surveillance/police state.

100% the cheapest, most green choice is keep driving what you already have. But when I did my own math on my projected ownership of 10+ years, going electric was a no brainer on deciding between ICE and electric, and I’m betting that math will only get more in favor for electric on the basis that manufacturing petroleum products is dependent on a limited resource while green electricity is only getting bigger and cheaper. Especially if you’re able to get your own solar power generation.

Zoom out. BYD models are $10k cheaper than comparable models, you’re saving maybe $1k+ annually on gas, and you’re throwing in the towel on $150 tax? They are not available in US because of anti-competition and “national security” concerns, but if they were, the US manufacturers would be getting murked. As it is, we’re just going to massively lose global market share.
