You and I must have played different versions of BC, because I remember people running around like they fell out of bags of Skittles with their armor, silly transformations (Noggenfogger, anyone?), and other goofy things. WoW has always had a healthy dose whimsy (both intentional and not) mixed in.
Pandas looking badass and Dracthyr not is purely subjective.
I think you have rose-tinted glasses on, friend.
Meal prep is the way.
I’m going to go with… Factorio :).
He gives a lot of detail as to why he likes or doesn’t like various things, so you can determine for yourself if they’re important to you or not. SKillUp is my favorite reviewer, and I definitely don’t agree with him on all his takes.
I didn’t visit Reddit for 8 months or so after the API fiasco, but gradually started going back for a handful of niche communities whose fediverse counterparts are dead or nonexistent.
A lot of it is d) spam
Many of your posts are fine, but a good amount leave me thinking one of the following:
-That’s a pretty specific question, is there really nowhere else that would be e better place to ask?
-Wtf are they talking about, is that an obscure reference or something?
-How high are they?
I can appreciate you generating topics for discussion, but seems you don’t have a filter and post anything that comes to mind.
I’d like to think I’m an engineer, but if we’re being honest, I’m much closer to chef.
Same happened with kbin.run. Glad I set up an account on another instance before that happened.
Your setup looks like it’s showing its age. How much you could/should salvage depends entirely on how much of an upgrade you want and what your budget is. You can of course keep using your peripherals as long as they aren’t giving you any trouble.
If you are looking for some inexpensive upgrades, I would look at getting an m.2 SSD and at least 8gb additional ram. You could also do some things like uninstall unused software, clean out any crapware or any unneeded processes, defrag your hard drive, or even reinstall your OS.
No idea where you live or what performance targets you would be looking for, but you can get a decent prebuilt for around $800 USD.
It’s doable in most (maybe all?) manual vehicles. If you get the RPMs to a certain point, you’re able to shift smoothly to the next gear without pushing the clutch in.
Learning the clutch friction point, especially for a new driver, can be a challenge. Even after being experienced with driving manual for years, two things I still hate about them are stop-and-go traffic and taking off on a hill when someone is right on your ass.
I learned to drive using a manual transmission vehicle. I spent a lot of time in empty parking lots, then in empty subdivision roads. It sucked, and having my dad as a teacher made things worse (he had a bit of a temper). As you stated, learning the clutch friction point for your vehicle is crucial (and it’s different in every model of car, so that’s fun), but once you get that down, the rest falls into place pretty easily.
I have had 4 vehicles since I got my license, and only the most recent one is automatic. I much prefer driving manual, but they’re getting increasingly difficult to find outside of sports cars.
It will be releasing on Steam and Xbox on the same day.
A lot of these Playstation trailers are borderline misleading. I don’t expect Sony to advertise for other platforms, but the way they present things make it look like a PS5 exclusive.
I’m guessing the 2nd “function” is the lanyard hole.
I was in the same boat as OP, so thanks for the clarification. Your post was enlightening.
My captor must have had experience working help desk. I’ve endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.
I uninstalled Epic Online Services right after installing the game, and the only difference now is I get a warning screen that it’s not installed whenever I start the game up. It’s still BS that I should have to manually uninstall something I never wanted, though.
Gambled and lost
I started with World, and put hundreds of hours into that and Rise, plus their expansions. I tried the GU demo on Switch, but it felt too clunky.
The thing that hooked me was the first large monster you hunt, Great Jagras. He’s a pushover for any hunter with even a slight amount of experience, but for me as a new player, it was an epic battle and I certainly didn’t expect that much intensity that early in the game. I also liked how even after you had a monster on “farm status” a hunt could still easily go from good to bad if you weren’t careful. It emphasized that these monsters were incredibly dangerous, and even seasoned hunters could be in trouble if they get too cocky. It also helped keep farming more interesting as you needed to pay attention if you wanted to be successful.
Overall, I like the… world, in World more, but the gameplay mechanics and combat more in Rise. In World, the maps were larger, with more detail and felt more alive. I also liked the tracking aspect, and was disappointed that aspect didn’t make it to Rise. It felt like you were actually hunting your target, instead of just sprinting to their location on your doggo friend and beating them up like in Rise.
I’m definitely looking forward to Wilds releasing next year.
I saw the update on Steam, but didn’t look very closely since it’s been some time since I’ve played RoR2. It’s good to see they’re committed to making the DLC good.
