I think my biggest issue with this thread is the bikes they are referring too are actually Electric Motorbikes(and should be treated like any other motorbike), not an “ebike” in the typical sense of Pedal Assist Bicycle.

I do agree with most of your post, and the whole your average cyclist doing “30 mph without much trouble” is ridiculous. I do think you are underestimating how fast road bikes can be though.
You are not reaching 30mph unless you are fully sprinting on a descent with a gravel bike (maybe a mountain bike if it’s a long, long, stretch) or have a road bicycle on a flat/slight slope and you are full sending it (even on a flat road I’m assuming, I’ve never ridden one). Not to mention these people will be using protective gear
So, on a road bike, it is pretty easy on the flat to keep 20mph/32kmh. 30mph/48kmh is definitely an effort and not one that is sustainable for most people. To give you an idea, I did a charity bike ride in June which was just shy of 100 miles, it was 158.3km with 1667m of climbing as well, so not completely flat. I averaged 31.2kmh. I am in no way fast, I am alright on the flat but gravity is a cruel mistress on an uphill.
Downhill is a different thing as well, I have hit speeds of around 62mph/100kmh, and a hill near me will almost always spit me out doing 55mph/89kmh with 0 effort(roll down the hill and sit on the drops), and that is on both my road and gravel bikes. But that is probably steeper than you are thinking. However, there is also a pretty steady -1% average “downhill”, it is a false flat, but it is really easy to cruise along at 25mph/40kph+.

From what I could see there was basically nothing of note. Maybe Jetpack Joyride if you want to indulge some 12 year old mobile game.
So quick break down is:
OS and programs on NVME 1, this also includes gamepass games. NVME 2 is Steam games and other launchers that might be installed.
HDD1 is downloads, pictures, music and documents, HDD2 is Videos.
My PC has 4TB of NVME storage(2 drives), and then 8TB of HDD space(another 2 drives).
Games, and actual used stuff all live on the NVMEs, with things like Pictures and Videos stored on the HDDs. Plenty of space to never have to really think about what to keep installed.
I also have a 512GB Steam Deck, which also has a 256GB SD Card in it. My Switch also has a 256GB SD card in it as well.
I dont normally defend battle passes, but SF6’s is pretty tame al things considered. It is cheap at 250 fighter coins(and you don’t have to over invest in their paid currency as the minimum you can buy is 250), you complete the easy 30 levels and you get the 250 coins back. And comes with a ROM you can play in game.
If you compare it to Diablo 4’s battle pass, it is really good. Still a battlepass though, and I do wish they just wasnt really a thing.
The cost of the avatar costumes though… that can fuck off. I was excited about the TMNT annoucment, but the prices are just atrocious, and are not micro transactions.
Closer to the Edge - Available on youtube for free, and is a glimpse inside the madness of the Isle of Man TT. I am not a huge fan of motorsports, but this is a fantastic and epic watch that follows a bunch of rides in the run up and through the TT.
Party Animals has beta access for preorders, so that will be one of the main games with friends this weekend. Then inbetween that still playing both Street Fighter 6 and Baldurs Gate 3.
