I drove a new Hyundai Sonata hybrid and was pretty annoyed by how flaky the lane keeping and adaptive cruise control were, plus the shift knob thing and clunky hybrid/EV switching after a red light.

I had wireless Android Auto in a rental car last month and loved it. My car just has the wired version. With wireless, I just sat down and it had locations up already that I was looking at and picked up the music or podcast I was playing. I'm a fan.

Yeah, I tried their configurator and was thinking about this. Once it has the bed cover and 2nd row of seats, bigger battery, speakers, power windows, fog lights...

At least I don't see it and want to pit maneuver it off the road like with a Mercedes GLC Coupe.

Have you seen Iron Sky?

I think it depends on where you are. Some regions cause cars to rust through and destroy themselves from salt and humidity. Others are dry as a bone, so cars last longer.

I've played and DMed both. A West Marches campaign has been the right fit for some groups with tough schedules. That format can work really well when you have a larger world plan and story that different venn diagrams of groups slowly discover and have to post notes about to a group chat or Discord. Players remember and read about things from different sessions and piece together the story and world, then can decide on new missions and exploration in a real collaborative setting. Picture a tavern setting where they're arguing about different plot hooks, missions, and tips, and start to switch from the selfish motivations of wanting cool loot to also wanting to uncover the story. It can be great if you lay the groundwork.

A few lazy players can disappear into the background, and they still have fun and want to hang out.

One of the campaigns I play in is more of a West Marches or Adventurer's League style with a rotating cast of players. There are... differening levels of effort.

And the person who didn't gets to default to being the loner outcast who doesn't talk much, easy
