I'm starting to feel like this is a controversial opinion, but maybe the American people should be the ones holding their own government accountable? Interventionism is the worst way to fix a country and I very much doubt it even could be done for a country like America.
The telemetry shows both of them rushed into the corner because they were both fighting to be first into the apex, that's the game. Max didn't slow down because Piastri didn't slow down. It was a great move by Piastri, why do you have to diminish it by not acknowledging what Piastri did. Does Verstappen live rent free in your mind that you have to make everything about Max?
At that scale it's not kidnapping, it's ethnic cleansing.
Another thing to bring up for ancient greybeards like me, Oblivion is almost 20 years old. There's an entire generation of gamers who have never played Oblivion and are now getting their first time experience.
I haven't see how the level scaling works, but I'm assuming it works exactly like OG Oblivion for two reasons. First is that the underlying game logic is OG Oblivion and second, whether you liked it not, the level scaling was very much in the DNA of Oblivion so it kinda has to be there to feel like Oblivion. That said, the new leveling system looks like it might make the level scaling less horrid.
And so far from what I watched others play, the world is still as barren and boring as OG Oblivion. Personally I'm going wait for Skyblivion because the barren world was the main reason I didn't enjoy Oblivion.
Last information is that they are moving to Steam for their 1.0 launch.
At this point I don't think it would've mattered. Maybe Biden would've been kicked out sooner but the primary would've still ended with a boilerplate democrat candidate. It wasn't Harris who lost the campaign, it was the poor campaign strategy put together by the DNC.
If that helps you sleep, go ahead and don't continue reading.
But if you look at how Piastri took the corner in the quali vs how he took it in the race it's pretty clear he deliberately ran wide. Why would he run wide and compromise the exit of T2 if he thought Max would never make the corner? Maybe his post race interview gives a hint, where he explicitly states "if it was roles reversed it probably would've looked identical". It's almost as if Piastri knew he couldn't leave Max any space because Max would make use of that space the same way he would've used that space if the roles were reversed and Max had left him space. I wonder who is more right? A random F1 viewer on Lemmy stating Max would've have made the corner, or Max (who decided to try to take the corner) and Piastri (who clearly cut him off to make sure he couldn't make the corner) thinking he would've made the corner. Definitely a tough choice here.
Oh and thank you for proving my point about how it's always Max's fault.
So like Max and Lando at COTA…
So literally what I said?
had he (Piastri) also gone off Max wouldn’t have received a penalty.
Lando should've given his position back because if he believed Max was in the wrong (and because some people can't be normal I have to explicitly mention Max was in the wrong) then Max should get penalized. He didn't give the position back and got penalized himself. Same thing with Max. If Max believed Piastri left him no space then he should've given the position back because if Piastri was in the wrong he should get penalized. Max didn't give the position back and got penalized himself.
The sidenote wasn't about the exact same move that Max did in COTA, it was about the fact that Piastri did was Verstappen has done multiple times. Every time Verstappen does something like that people come out in droves to complain about the move. But now that it was Piastri you don't see 10 different commenters on what a scummy move it was, instead anyone critical of the move gets downvoted. My sidenote wasn't a defense of Max (nor is it an attack on Piastri because I don't have an issue with moves like that). It was a jab at all the Max haters who like to think they're being fair and standing against scummy moves when really they complain only when Max is the one making the move.
Hypothetically, if Piastri also had gone off would you put the blame on Piastri?
From his driver cam it looks like he probably could've made the corner if Piastri had left space. But I'm not trying to defend one or another as I also have no issue with what happened. Piastri did what Max would've done and Max got a taste of his own medicine.
I think this season is going to be an interesting championship fight between Piastri and Verstappen.
All the more reason to not do anything about it. Let America implode and their interventionist power also takes a hit.
