Superbly written review! I known I shouldn’t sound so surprised, given that it’s coming from the author that gave us ‘Air Force Gator’, but this was great writing that, if the game is as good as you describe, will certainly do it justice. (Right down to the unironic use of ‘visceral’ in a video game review in 2018!)
@apekios, I hope you take the time to read the article at some point, you will be pleasantly surprised :)
Do the gang not realize that the whole reason Alexa has a limited set of wake words (Alexa, Echo, Amazon, Computer) is precisely because they are hard-coded into the hardware, so that it isn’t actually transmitting everything it hears over the network, but only what you tell it to?
Imola is not actually in San Marino (which is indeed an independent country), just nearby, but in Italy. The race was just called the San Marino Grand Prix because the FIA wanted to have a one country per grand prix rule—the race at the Nurburgring has twice been called the Luxembourg Grand Prix for the same reason, before they started the European Grand Prix nonsense as a way to fudge that rule. (And now we see that the European Grand Prix doesn't even have to be held on European soil!)
Also, Hamilton did RTFM, Mercedes mis-programmed one setting, so his switches were all correct. Rosberg only caught it quicker because he'd switched into that mode later in the race and so could easily tell what wasn't working, whereas Lewis starting in P10 had been in that mode from the start, since he was going to have to pass a lot of cars. So in his situation there wasn't any realistic way for him to know which setting it was that his garage had set wrong.
