    The car is a Dongfeng M-Hero 917. It’s Chinese.

      I see China is on board with the monitors that look like they were glued to the dashboard and not actually part of it asthetic. I like that both driver and passenger get a neat throttle control. What does it do?

        twin throttle controls are usually for different engines; it’s not one set for the pilot flying and another for the pilot monitoring.

        maybe this vehicle has two engines to allow its owner to really gun it?

            Used em for nearly 20 years but their newer stuff has some reduced build quality in favour of aesthetics. The model I bought had particularly bad coil whine (as did it’s RMA replacement) so I shifted from them.

        Most online gaming is fps or RPG. Why would a magazine be offensive if a sword wasn’t.

            I’m gunna bet over time a sharp bladed instrument has taken orders of magnitude more lives.

            So again, is a sword melee worship and how would that be more or less offensive.

              Probably not. They were in use for a much longer time, but population sizes and army sizes were much smaller during those times. Also, they are less deadly.

                They’re still in use and are a larger cause of accidental death as well.

                Are you?

                It’s a motherboard aimed at higher end fps clan play, it’s a relevant object on a relevant object.

                So I say again, rpg themed system with a sword on it. Offensive?

                Cars and drugs on a GTA themed system. Offensive?

                I think you’re just picking something benign to be upset about in the most safe time in human history. Statistically you were more likely to be murdered in 1950 before the gun worship culture was as prevalent then today. Teach, compassion, life skills and critical thinking, fear mongering over inanimates isn’t particularly useful.

                  Gun violence isn’t only about murders.

                  There’s no sword violence epidemic.

                  Go tell people in third world countries or first Nations that guns have made their life safer than any other time in history and see what they have to say about that.

                  And yeah, a drug themed motherboard would be fucking offensive, what an idiotic question!
