If you enjoyed the game, it was good. If you didn't, it wasn't. That's literally all that makes it either a good or bad game.

It was my least favorite only because the ruins/abandoned nature of 1 and 2 were what made the games so enjoyable for me.

It was incredibly easy to get banned there as many with the ability to ban were as petty and spiteful as the average SA poster. I had seen accounts get banned for something as little as not using punctuation and paragraphs(I'm not exaggerating).

I don't feel the urge to try to change your mind but can I ask for an example of the tacky veneer? Are you seeing this globally or muricans acting locally?

Yeah, they're not even changing design. Just call it some feature of an internal combustion engine and call it done.

It's one of the thousands of cheap Chinese e-bikes out there(I own one, although not this model) with all of the shared drawbacks that come with them.

  1. The KwH and range advertised are not realistic.
  2. Every bolt on part is of the cheapest quality. The front shock is useless, the brakes are spongy and slow to perform, the derailleur is too cheap to dial in well. All cables are sticky and require replacement to work correctly.
  3. It is so heavy that just moving it around in an apt/garage or loading into a vehicle requires a small team of powerlifters.
  4. When something is broken at delivery, you will be dealing with customer service that comes with buying directly from China.

The pros:

  1. It's thousands less than a one by a reputable company.
  2. They stick to part standards for the most part so upgrading parts(and you'll need to) is possible with quality components.
  3. Nobody will ever want to steal these bikes.

Temper your expectations, understand why your paying thousands less than quality e-bikes and you won't be disappointed.

It wouldn't surprise me if Twitter is pushing it due to it being proven that outrage boosts engagement. Facebook has been doing that for years.

I'm going to be honest. This instance has taught me more surprising information than any other. I never, in my life, would have guessed that as probable. :)

The struggle might be complicated by the fact that you're reading a math book.

Appreciate the capital letters so we know what words are important, WindowsCentral.
