Oh gods...the bunker.
I remember that with so much dread.
First time I did a pickup. Very easy - no problems. Just a long trip from the free bunker up north all the way to the harbor?
Second one... jesus H christ.
I hopped into a van I had to pick up at the research facility...and instant max stars. My van almost blew up before I even managed to rev up the engine.
So poorly balanced - Did I get to the bunker alive? Yes... but only because the police gave up chasing me after some really intense hill trips.
fading spade
there is a mission that I have to kill 20 people in a bank or soemthing
and I only have a pistol and I cant do third person shooting to save my life

but... gta has first person?
@frosty dew You'll try really hard to play this way...and give up two minutes later.
Whoever did the first person controls never actually played with it.
frosty dew
i mean... i know that, but it exists! 
i mean honestly, i love playing first person.
especially when remembering the far cry series. but in gta v it was kind of... awful
so, so. so awful
young hill
Mansen I had to go to ship since of update to get supplies. I landed my Hydra in the hot tub, but crashed the Hydra on accident into a helicopter when leaving
fringe salmon
first person works just fine, a lot easier for scuba diving imo and some heists indoor especially
young hill
Wait scub diving is easier in first person.... Gotta try that
fringe salmon
much easier bc you just look in the direction you want to swim
especially helpfull in the heists where you go through the sewer system with scuba gear
young hill
Ah that one
especially when remembering the far cry series. but in gta v it was kind of... awful
You can also go in VR xD

That at-at just let him have fun until they got enough
dont think those blaster bolts even damage the at-at.
Today I commited a warcrime and shot an anti-grain missle at the raiders. It killed 14 men and 2 wounded. Took those wounded and used their organs to fix up my people. It might be a warcrime but our alcoholic has a new liver. and that is why this warcrime is moral and just. plus that was the 3th raid in a row and most of my guys were heavy wounded. The wonderous stories of the rimworld
also should I drug my prisoners with luciferium when I release them for that cripling permenant addiction that kills when withdrawl kicks in?
weak cypress
Can't you use them as forced laborers?
ornate cedar
Not really, but I could recruit them if I want but without a kidney, lung and liver they are very dead.
The other guy was executed cus I administered(forced) him to overdose on yayo(cocaine), Why? cus he had an yayo addiction and I wanted to give him an ironic death
weak cypress
That's hardly ironic, ironic would be OD on something else.
ornate cedar
Luci?
weak cypress
Water for all I care.
orchid prism
ok now I understand why u have wristpain
@unique bane I don't though?
All I literally said is that to be able to use "arm aim" as some call it, I'd have to keep my arm lifted unnaturally all of the time to use my mouse, because otherwise I would get mad friction from my wrists 😄

well, thankfully I most definitely will have a different one before 2023 lmao

ornate cedar
"we own you" - facebook
small comet
even more reasons to not get an oculus
fringe salmon
yup, now I need to actually look into pimax more to have an entry level recommendation for people lmao
small comet
im still eyeing a steam headset
fringe salmon
sure but that isn't entry level
small comet
idk if vr really has entry lvl rn for such an experimental stage still
fringe salmon
the quest was a fairly good value deal
my go-to options were ques/rift, index, pimax if you are fine with a non 1st party solution
but idk if the lower pimax options are as good
fringe salmon
I know, and ceo said when the deal happend that facebook would never do smth like this
then again he also got fired lmao
dense pond
time to sell your oculus then
bleak pike
I returned it
fringe salmon
well existing accounts work till jan 2023
bleak pike
Glad i did really.
fringe salmon
so plenty of time for me to wait for index 2.0 or smth lol
dense pond
just another reason to me to avoid vr like the plague
fringe salmon
nothing do to with vr, thats just a idiotic statement
dense pond
fringe salmon
facebook could buy a company in literally ever industry that exists
so you avoiding everything?
dense pond
mate what
fringe salmon
thats basically what yous aid
dense pond
uh no

dense pond
we can play this game all day
ornate cedar
you cant
dense pond
or we can agree to just leave others enjoy their OS
proper cargo
disabling windows updates is 1 of the main causes why people have problems in the first place.
ornate cedar
they will reset everything on update
fading spade
^^
fading spade
I have updates disabled until next week
dense pond
Not to mention I haven't updated in 3 months on linux
fading spade
cause oracle datababse gets fucked if you update windows
dense pond
shit runs fine still
proper cargo
personally i have no problems with windows updates. i just let it update. so what it takes 5 seconds longer to turn off the computer.
ornate cedar
Also they have an ai to determine when to update. 🙂

fading spade
I update nvidia drivers and if there is wifi ones too
proper cargo
no. wait
you update, to allow further stability under the hood, to enhance compatibility, and to
fu what was that third thing
fading spade
I like new features
dense pond
i'll update when i want, not when they want
proper cargo
its the same as your antivirus. why update your antivirus if you never had any problems? to prevent future problems.
ornate cedar
It doesnt really. if the update is 2 updates it skips to the newest version as the rest is irrelavant
dense pond
[laughs in no anti virus]
dense pond
also about file extensions, in linux you just use ELF to determine it
or the "file" command
proper cargo
i only got windows defender myself. seems to be enough cause i dont go to weird sites 😛
fading spade
Or
In the file manager
dense pond
wait no that's wrong
ornate cedar
dense pond
I meant magic bit
fading spade
I want to try sabayon
ornate cedar
windows has file exprorer as shell
dense pond
fun fact: you can type cmd in the file location to open a cmd prompt in said location
dense pond
also, [laughs in outdated, so called "vulnerable" software and operating system]
proper cargo
still, as long as this number doesnt increase, linux wont be taken seriously and they will have to sort out their own way to make stuff work. sure, as some vids point out, linux makes games run better. because of linux? sure. cause linux is almost an empty shell compared to all the bloatware that windows provides and got running in the background.
ornate cedar
or use alt+shift+f2 for a terminal
fading spade
Mage
Do you at least update your web browser?
dense pond
nope
fading spade
O.o
fading spade
Uh
ornate cedar
linux is just the kernel
dense pond
also a lot of stuff on linux could work out of the box
but then you forget that since everything is foss and everyone disagrees on everything
you get the mess that is linux
"LiNuX/gNu"
ornate cedar
so basic drivers, scheduler, memory manegement and not dieing
fading spade
So you are running out dated web browsers
Noice...
ornate cedar
windows sucks even more when it comes to not dieoing
dense pond
Nah
Windows has never let me down on OOM conditions
It'll just kill apps
And won't freeze up
ornate cedar
Servers cant run for prolonged time without interference with windows
That is a key reason why linux is used
dense pond
You sure that ain't because of the server software and not the kernel?
ornate cedar
bluescreen
dense pond
Not trying to defend Windows here, but some "server" software really sucks sometimes.
Also bluescreen shouldn't happen in normal conditions
ornate cedar
but it should not murder the kernel if it happens
fading spade
If it's a server
How would it blue screen? Servers are in command line
fading spade
O
dense pond
also linux ain't any better
if it panics, you're stuck
atleast windows has the audacity to reboot AFAIK, with linux you have to enable it in kernel config
ornate cedar
linux kernel tries to figure out on how to recover plus it allows to configure it to use backup kernels
dense pond
ornate cedar
windows servers are not known to lasts months
ornate cedar
they just fail
dense pond
also, drivers suck
for both operating systems
be it for any piece of hardware
drivers just suck.
@fading spade also to aggrevate you I was thinking of installing windows xp tbh
ornate cedar
and linux allows you to choose which one you want to use, windows can be stubborn and change if it wants to
dense pond
yesn't
dense pond
If it's modules, yes, if built in, no
also people need to stop being afraid of running "old" software or whatever
it's just brainwashing
fading spade
Idk
ornate cedar
Bitrot is a thing
dense pond
I'm running w7 rn. Do I have pesty hackers on my OS rn? no.
fading spade
I'm pretty certain XP is still prone to many exploits that newer windows aren't
fading spade
Hmm
dense pond
And yes bitrot is a thing
But so is bloat
Just look at Windows 10
I'll take bitrot over bloat any day
fading spade
Bitrot?
dense pond
AKA old outdated code no longer being used, which generally leads to issues
proper cargo
its more that older OS lose support, unless you know how to code and alter the OS or the program to make it run
ornate cedar
Downgrade the kernel for better support
fading spade
Yeah...
dense pond
and they wanted the charge (can't recall the amount) that is added to all pcs provided with windows to be refunded
fading spade
I understand that computers that you go into a store and quickly buy need an OS installed so that you don't need to spend that extra hour to install one yourself
But like damn
Why must it be the one that costs $120
dense pond
i mean if you can't spend 30 minutes to install an os
that sounds like a you problem
ngl
fading spade
I'm including updates
dense pond
updates take an hour
dense pond
but once done you should be good
fading spade
Updates take longer than the install -.-
fading spade
Xd
ornate cedar
Why not live update?
dense pond
that's a thing?
ornate cedar
in linux
dense pond
we are talking windows
but yes, it's a thing in linux
but "live update" is dependent on what you mean by it
ornate cedar
microsoft planned for it but it stayed at that
kernel can be updated while running it
it runs in the memory instead of disk
dense pond
Yes but it isn't a simple click to do so
At least last time I checked
Not to mention rebooting takes very little time
Even less time with kexec
ornate cedar
yay -Syu
dense pond
i am not using arch or a arch derivative.
ornate cedar
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
fading spade
Why not live update?
@ornate cedar what? You mean ubuntu's Livepatch?
dense pond
that's just general updating programs and leaving currently running programs in memory
ornate cedar
ubuntu can duck dirt
fading spade

linuxmint ftw

Nah

mint is good
fading spade
Pop or ArcoLinuxB
ornate cedar
for average users mint is good
fading spade
Yeh
dense pond
or people switching from windows to linux
fading spade
Its the just boring too
dense pond
anything else? no
ornate cedar
if you want to control the distro then get something like arch or gentoo

you're right on that @fading spade

grandma wont care for anything other than email, grandkids and being prevented on getting scammed
dense pond
scammed part not solvable
ornate cedar
cant scam if you cant access it
fading spade
You can't stop people from getting scammed by anything in software
dense pond
you also can't stop people breaking software or misinterpreting it
fading spade
I meant dodgy links to apps they want also
dense pond
the best way is to educate them
doesn't require software
will make you wanna pull your hair out for days
huge success in my book
fading spade
Yeah for sure
The only bs is those accept cookies popups
I try to get my mom to learn how to deny them
dense pond
extensions exist for that
and just disable cookies on third party sites
does most of the work
fading spade
But some are so difficult to deny you can't figure it out
ornate cedar
just tel grandparent to not try to delete virus as you have the best antivirus installed already or refund money as the banks will handle that. also whitelist links
fading spade
Even I can't find out how in some of them -.-
You also get ones that you have like 40 things to toggle off to deny it
dense pond
i'm gonna go for now, hf.
ornate cedar
whitelist websites that are know to be safe and block the rest
proper cargo
@fading spade
i prevent my father from getting scammed by making him promise to consult me on his online purchases. just the other day he bought a usb adapter thingy, of Wish, thinking it was a usb stick. he is 73 years old.
i know its a little bit humiliating, but he is old. old people get scammed alot. thats something he needs to accept. and im willing to help him in not getting scammed.
dense pond
Nothing wrong with that. If anything, you're doing god's work.
Also can I just mention thank god steam's "depot" system exists? Saves you a lot of trouble having to go pirate or dig the internet for an older version of something.
proper cargo
a first i heard of it
dense pond
tl;dr
It would be nice if other services like uPlay and Origin provided this natively.
GOG provides this natively (As in a built in feature in GOG Galaxy), so good on them. You can also contact support to get an older version manually if you don't wish to use GOG Galaxy.
dense pond
Siege 1.0
Tfw the older version of the game actually runs better than the newer vulkan one.
Also interestingly enough, steam depots will follow your steam prefered language, even though being explicitly told not to do so.
dense pond
Also another free image
The more I think of it the more I'm happy to be banned tbh. Older version of the game is definitively a bit "off" from the regular feeling, but so much better. Also not to mention the stupid barage of updates the game has gotten over the years.
slim token
as does any game over time
dense pond
Sadly you're right
lime smelt
they spent more money on themed events than actually improving the game
slim token
and cosmetics
lime smelt
that game could have been so much more
also different global law enforcement operators fighting each other makes no sense
dense pond
Well, yeah it doesn't but apparently if you follow the lore it's all simulation except terrorist hunt.
but let's be honest, the lore sucks.
slim token
you can tell the moment the lore went to shit when harry was introduced to replace six
dense pond
Mhm
tough jay
I never really played rainbow six siege after the first few updates. I could not get bothered memorizing map layouts.
I also noticed playing with a group of people that when someone else leads I tend to become a sheep and not learn the maps themselves. That certainly did not help.
proper cargo
you got banned from rainbow six siege?
@dense pond
why would you do such a thing tho
fringe salmon
we went over this, he used a vm
proper cargo
oh, that thing
oh right he was the linux guy
but
i thought that indian gamer guy big youtube peep said that you only get a warning at first
trim rock
Yes but if you then go on to bypass said warning you get in trouble
proper cargo
ah
fringe salmon
the warning is also not guaranteed to happen I think,
proper cargo
SO THEN i need to bring up the discussion again, why isnt rainbow six siege playable on linux without using a windows vm
cause windows is better, thats why
HA
IN UR FACE
obvious troll is obvious
fringe salmon
you say obvious when way too many people legit think that way
fading spade
^
proper cargo
yea, im seeing lord bloat type for longer than a minute so he might be typing something serous
ornate cedar
If linux can play it while running everything under vm while spoofing the anti-cheat enough to make it seem it is windows naitive
trim rock
Clearly not since the anticheat detected it and issued the ban
fading spade
you need to recompile Linux with things to prevent that
proper cargo
well, all you need to figure out is what makes rainbow's anti cheat tick and then counter it.
ornate cedar
battleye is shit anyways, it does fuck all against actual cheaters
trim rock
Well yeah it was rather easily defeated https://secret.club/2020/07/06/bottleye.html but I'm not sure if that still works
fading spade
battleye is shit anyways, it does fuck all against actual cheaters
@ornate cedar litewrally, my friend plays it and she always sees hackers in most games
ornate cedar
yup. Some tried to get banned it took months and a support ticket to ubisoft to get banned
fading spade
O.o
proper cargo
well
ubisoft
ubisoft is trying to be like ea games but they got only half the resources available
fringe salmon
you cant really judge it from that, even if you still see x% of cheaters, you dont know how many it still stops from cheating
ornate cedar
He just asked every game to get reported and had oblious hacks. Speed, walls, infinite range, etc. still nothin
its insane that it didnt get triggered
fringe salmon
until we get some insane AI-abusing anti cheat we always will ahve situations like that, point of AC is to make it just a little bit harder to stop the majority that would cheat if it's too easy, and hopefully from time to time get big ban waves
proper cargo
also deosnt help that game keys for such games are very cheap to come by
fringe salmon
it's to make you not play with/against only hackers and nnot also real people
ornate cedar
instead of banning use a scale system that judges the likelyness of hacking and put people together with similair scores.
fringe salmon
nooooo
nonono
there already is not enough people to make truly good matchmaking
trust system in csgo only works somewhat because it's not a hard limitation and also has an insane ammount of players
ornate cedar
thats the point as the cheaters wont know when they get put in that bracket
novel umbra
?
as a regular and active player you get a higher trust factor than new ones
and a much higher one that suspicious ones
afaik those also get separated from the ones that have a low one due to being toxic
ornate cedar
If they dont know when they are marked they wont know when to abandon ship and get a new account.
novel umbra
yea
you still have a higher one
or do yo uwanan throw new players in low trust factor land?
multiple accoutns per ip also accounts to it btw
fringe salmon
you will know once you notice your matchmaking got much worse
ornate cedar
you can even give their new account automatic lower score
if they play nicely it will increase
if not they stay in the hell
novel umbra
no
they will quite if they start with low trust factor
because they play a "hacker infested game"
fringe salmon
and if you meant to track people who make a new account bc the old one is in low trust, that can easily hit innocent people too
ornate cedar
Then it is -1 cheater overall
novel umbra
well multi accounts will get lowered trust factor
although idk what the exact ratings of that are
fading spade
Anyone have any idea why nvidia drivers set systemwide vsync and make my games run locked to 60FPS
BUT if I open thje nvidia settings app and then just close it again, that FPS lock is disabled
ornate cedar
vac wont ban without knowing >99.9% sure that it has detected a hacker
fringe salmon
yeah but trust factor only works with a really large playerbase and can still fuck over people who are just good
fringe salmon
not really
fading spade
oh? but I open it as normal user
fringe salmon
ye that one sounds like linux issue idk what to look out for there
fading spade
its in my autostart xd
ornate cedar
trust factor is quite slow to move
fading spade
I told you, it makes the FPS lock not happen anymore
ornate cedar
it doesnt do judgement immidiatly
fringe salmon
nah, I've had multiple cases where it took weeks to get rid of the red trustfactor a friend had when we 5man queued and always have recommnded him , a day or two later he was red again
fading spade
novel umbra
well he might have been just over the cutoff point lol
fringe salmon
sure but directly from neutral to full deep red again?

ornate cedar
it doesnt tell the trustscore normally?
fringe salmon
not it doesnt tell the score but if you queue up it tells you "worse matchmaking bc player x has slightly/significantly lower trustfacotr"
ornate cedar
use xrandr for monitor ting
fringe salmon
and that is in either yellow or red
ornate cedar
That is relative to you
you can be a saint while your friend a hero and he still give a red message
fringe salmon
it is relative, hence why I always see it bc im the worst in the group and never get bad trust factor lmao
if two are red they dont see anything but I both see them red
thats not a UX thing bc its related to matchmaking not using the game
ornate cedar
It is red because it will lower the group trustfactor and could negatively affect the player
fringe salmon
so anyway, it is a mostly good system, bc it has enough players, but man you get fucked over if people are just mad and dislike you getting good shots in
ornate cedar
Toxic players that false report a lot dont carrt any weight to the score
fringe salmon
if that was the case we'd not constantly have to get people's trust back up to not red lmao
we have 3 people who play on a second or third smurf bc we just get against hackers with their mains bc of a bad trust rating

Or it could be to circumfent the cooldown
cus the molly went haywire and teammates were cold while watching you
dense pond
the warning wasn't a warning in the first place
it was a generic error before they changed it
RDTSC emulation also apparently doesn't solve the problem from what I heard, some people still got banned.
Also nothing in the TOS of R6S even states anything about vm's.
Battleye only recently started doing it about a month ago
Twitter
And not to mention you have to remember that guy actually has a youtube channel and has a somewhat decent userbase I guess. I have none of that, aka, no say.
fading spade
why kick "normal users"?
dense pond
from my understanding
to prevent anyone using a vm from playing
but that they can play on a legitimate pc
bypassing the kick is a ban. no exceptions.
even if you used to play on a legitimate pc.
even if your account is from year 1
this is battleye's doing, not ubisoft's
fringe salmon
to keep it shorter: kick people in vm bc they cant make sure the vm isnt used to circumvent battleeye
dense pond
correct
because vm's can modify memory outside the os
and also because apparently "everyone who uses a vm is a cheater"
that's bollocks though
fringe salmon
says you
dense pond
guarantee you most users aren't gonna go through the process of installing a vm just to cheat
fringe salmon
most aren't, but it's also not many that use a vm to play normally
dense pond
but that's also a lie
theres plenty of people who game on vm's
and fleimi
let me restate again
it's battleye's doing
bleak pike
Technically speaking
dense pond
not rainbow's
bleak pike
It’s not their game
bleak pike
They own the anti cheat not the game it’s used on
fringe salmon
doesnt have to be in the TOS if the tos say "keep to the rules of the anti cheat"
bleak pike
Also it’ll be under modified shit
dense pond
literally doesn't state anything of the like quintosh
bleak pike
No difference, I just want to be that guy
bleak pike
DRM yay
fringe salmon
I bet its under dont cheat that words it, dont make the anit cheat ban you and thus includes it
fringe salmon
of course the tos dont need to include what exactly the anti cheat bans you for
bleak pike
It’ll under modifying or something
fringe salmon
i aint reading it bc you're pulling at strings here that nobody will argue for
novel umbra
wheat kraken
I'll argue that most anti-cheats are bullshit
wheat kraken
Or at least in most cases are
novel umbra
it will be a lot lower on R6s which never had native linux support
dense pond
you're talking about something completely different
novel umbra
so you have a total of how many players?
20?
that are on linux
that genuinely need a VM to play on their OS
novel umbra
mate what
novel umbra
yea ik
fringe salmon
it was 0.3 percent and that included linux and mac for rokcet league
novel umbra
people don;t install a vm for rocket league when it runs native
so the numbers in r6s would be a lot lower
dense pond
you're wrong though
novel umbra
dense pond
some people did
novel umbra
so you have a total of how many people that tried to paly r6s on linux?
dense pond
no
i'm talking about this statement
people don;t install a vm for rocket league when it runs native
you're wrong on this
bleak pike
And it only mentions running the game on something for an unfair advantage
Soooo time to ban ultrawide/144hz users? 
dense pond
i literally run linux capable games on windows mostly due to the fact i don't want to deal with shit that won't run right
also piracy
wheat kraken
You're implying either of those give an advantage
dense pond
they do though
bleak pike
144hz for sure does
wheat kraken
Well ultrawide dure
bleak pike
As for ultrawide idk how they tackle it
Ultrawide can be a serious advantage in some games
fringe salmon
just dont allow them to see more, done
fringe salmon
that wasnt a joke
bleak pike
Tbf it says software
dense pond
you're a troll quintosh
bleak pike
He’s not he’s just ugh
dense pond
at least, in my book
trim rock
or, let players on narrower screens crank up the FOV more...
bleak pike
Very logical
fringe salmon
just make it so even on a bigger screen you dont get to see more than on 16:9 and done, no advantage gained
dense pond
at the end of the day fuck battleye
fringe salmon
you can set all sorts of limits for cameras in your engine, so that you either need black bars or get a stretched image or smth like that if you dont limit the resolution to 16:9 or similar
novel umbra
you could also limit horizontal FOV
and then 16:9 users can just crank it up the same way

sure but then you still might have an advantage on ultrawide bc you can still see whats going on and not have insane fisheye lmao

just make it so even on a bigger screen you dont get to see more than on 16:9 and done, no advantage gained
@fringe salmon then the image is stretched and horrible
fringe salmon
@fringe salmon then the image is stretched and horrible
@fading spade yes thats the point
fading spade
how?
novel umbra
since you move the anticheat to a higher level than it should be
actually both of these
wheat kraken
That's stretching it like a motherfucker
novel umbra
not really
fringe salmon
@fringe salmon then the image is stretched and horrible
@fading spade hence you'll want to set it to 16:9 resolution to play it not stretched, and suddenly you dont get an advantage
novel umbra
you modify how it should run
wheat kraken
By using a VM, I'm not directly or even indirectly changing, editing, or corrupting game or server code.
Nor am I using a bot, cheating, nor 'hacking' their game
small comet
@wheat kraken ya but u can easily access and chabge shit in the entire vm ram
so
cheating is almost unprotectable on a vm
cause the host os has way more access
novel umbra
you modify it
wheat kraken
I mean I guess? I wouldn't know personally.
novel umbra
so that the anticheat is completely unrelaible
that is the whole reason why you are not allowed to have it run in a vm
small comet
they should just implement vm detection
wheat kraken
You don't modify anything. But I also do not play these types of games because I dislike either game practices or the way they play.
small comet
like some software does to prevent cracking
small comet
@wheat kraken most games with online functionallity dont allow vms

I know GTA Online didn't do this but it also wasn't competitive gameplay

they also run p2p and had exactl 0 anti cheat on start lmao

and now they do but it still feels like 0

to prevent people from just editing their money with CE

I got my parents to stop using CDs and just hook up to the car infotainment via bluetooth, so I don't have to worry about that now
although at home we have a huge stack of CDs though
fading spade
car infotainment
Thats a thing he doesnt have, neither do I
placid garden
yeah those aren't particularly cheap either
proper cargo
modern cars mostly got them nowadays. unless you go for the really basic package.
frosty dew
i havent seen any car manufactured past 2016 that came without such an infotainment system that has either way of connecting, be it usb, aux, or even bluetooth...
not even the basic ones
i mean, even my 2009 chevrolet aveo, in its most basic basic stuff had an aux connector
granted, my 2007 peugeot didnt have either. only a CD
but at least the peugeot had an automatic radio signal tracker, which not every car had or even has. (test drove a 2017 renault a week or two ago, and it lost my favorite radio signal SO MUCH. and that within the same little town...)
but it had bluetooth, usb, aux, etc.
what i noticed is that a lot of the cheaper cars may come with a super weak engine, but the stuff they got inside is what they got "selling" that car to their customers...
granted, we are the EU; and we all know that no car manufacturer sells the same models in all continents...
proper cargo
thats why i bought myself a 2015 mazda 2 last year. mazda's dont do that whole european crap of making engines smaller, they keep them the same size but make them more efficient.
frosty dew
my next car, a bmw, which the paperwork is being signed tomorrow or friday, also has usb and aux, also should have BT
do you know why they make the engines smaller?
cause taxes are going insanely high based on engine size and emission values.
my mom pays for her 2L SUV about 200 just in tax ( abit more than that, but you get the idea)
proper cargo
america?
frosty dew
if your car is from before 2000, you should be easily able to get an aftermarket head unit that has at least an aux connector
wdym with "america?"
proper cargo
you talking about america now? cause you mention SUV which isnt really a european thing
ok, then tell me if im wrong
frosty dew
suv? not a european thing???
laughs in german roads filled with SUV
just my direct coworkers? half of them got an SUV
i think you meant pick up trucks
those are a thing of rarity in the EU
proper cargo
uhh
frosty dew
mercedes even is ceasing the production of their pick up, cause no one's buying it
proper cargo
yea ur right i was thinking of pick ups, my bad
frosty dew
we all sometimes swap up things
i actually see a pickup truck every day
but that's because it's a company car
and it's pretty much the only pick up i see for months mostly
exactly
vans are SO MUCH BETTER
same
tell me a thing that a van cant do, but a pickup can :P
it's the other way around. a van can store much more, PLUS it's kept dry and covered.
uh, i think police would stop you due to the height then
in a city neraby they stopped a guy transporting a palm tree that stuck through his sunroof.
he had to get it into a van to keep driving.
proper cargo
i work at a shop that makes roof racks for cars or car bucks, not sure if translation is right there, but rear window protectors for pick ups, so i do see the occasional pick up, but those are mostly used by woodwards.
theres almost no other job that used pickups, atleast not in my country, because a minivan or a delivery van is much cheaper to drive and mostly even stores more.
frosty dew
exactly
same reason here
even our construction workers tend to drive a van
mostly cause you can install neat and tidy tool racks and drawers and everything into them
same goes with like electricians, waterpipe workers, all that
proper cargo
its cause gas is so cheap in america.
frosty dew
it's not that much cheaper actually
they just use a different measurement than Liter
(also taxes get added afterwards)
i think i calculated their prices to be roughly the same to ours
but that's been a while ago now tbh
proper cargo
1 gallon is ~3.8 liters. the average price in america is 2.18 per gallon. so 2.18 : 3.8 = ~57 cents per liter
i mean, its 3x that per liter in the netherlands
XD
frosty dew
diesel is around a € the liter atm
ordinary petrol is around 1.20 - 1.30
depending on octane count i'd say
proper cargo
so yea, my guess is that cause gas is so cheap, they can afford to buy cars that use alot of gas
frosty dew
i think another bigger factor is that they dont pay the same taxes as we do
oh btw fleimi it was you who needed to do the CD burning thing?
why not just get a 25€ external USB cd drive?
oh well
i was playing with that thought myself
mostly cause i got so much cd stuff still, be it games, music, movies
am excited for my bmw
tbh, i felt like bmw was overrated
then i test drove one, cause my car dealer had one on the lot.
... i think we know how that ended up.
placid garden
i'm satisfied with my little subaru that does it all for me
frosty dew
but there actually is this these that two kinds of drivers especially are attracted to like "premium" brands, like bmw, audi, etc, etc
ones that are the biggest assholes personality wise, and those that are extremily accurate, responsible, etc.
tbh i know what you mean, but i'm not buying my car as new
it's a used one
frosty dew
it partly is
but tbh, so far i liked the inside of the bmw the most of the cars. and it felt really nice while driving, so quiet and comfortable
definitly not what i had before so far
i'm an asshole no matter the car 
yeah, they do
cookiecutter?
explain expression pls
frosty dew
so you probably mean like the 3 series
their "middle" section?
the one especially around here is driven alot by... people with immigratory background

3series from 2013
placid garden
yeah they certainly stand out from the rest
frosty dew
one thing i envy audi drivers for?
they all seem to have this extra sun visor behind their rear view mirror.
even my friends 2000's audi
and that one is ... something
proper cargo
well, whatever the car you drive, dont drive a volkswagen
frosty dew
one thing german cars confuse me with?
the light. why is it this extra turn dial under the dashboard?
then why dont you do it?
proper cargo
volkswagen is a car used alot by people who...are less thoughtful of other people in traffic
cause bmw or audi cars arnt as cheap as volkswagens
frosty dew
i think it really depends on location a lot
because here it's actually mostly mercedes, and a certain model of bmw
but also volvo
fuck anyone in a volvo around here tbh.
proper cargo
volkswagen, especially the golf, is a sportive car for a reasonable price
frosty dew
the golf is too expensive for us lately
it used to be a beginners car
but it's been pushed up to more and more, and is so much bigger
have you seen the new ford fiestas?
i remember it as this little piece of rust bucket, that barely fit 3 people in it

i dont have anything against ford fiestas, lol. sorry fleimi
(my mom used to have a red one)
she once accidentally drove it down a set of stairs
it drove away without any damage to it
huh
i think my friend drove a newer fiesta
deer ran infront of him, causing a total
deer ran away from the accident scene btw.
never to be found
yeah i know. right?
fled the scene of accident!
and lousy police didnt even find that criminal again
:P
XD
that friend isnt the luckiest
his first car was a opel corsa
he flipped it because he was going 100 on a road in rain where i wouldnt even go 80 when it's dry, due to its narrow and curvy nature...
then the fiesta was his second
i think now he's at an astra?
another friend had it worse.
first car was a VW Fox.
not even 1h after he started driving it his axle broke in half.
then he got a brand new, factory VW Fox.
serial issue with the valves. causing oil problems, engine failure, less than a week he had that car.
of course, they were fed up with it
so they went and got a Toyota.
Aygo.
i hate that thing.
i despise it.
but i admit, i'm good at parking it.
because he always made me park it, he couldnt be bothered
but i really hate it.
it doesnt even have a proper cover for the door. it's the blank metal!
fair enough
i drive too much for the fun of it i guess
my very first year of driving i overshot my insurance covered distance by almost double...
with the bmw now my yearly distance is set at 24,000km
mostly because the only next higher section of cost, etc, would be at about 30,000km a year
i kinda like driving
sorry
well tbf, i also havent spent more than 15,000 on a car yet
actually, i havent spent more than 6,000 on a car yet
... i dont even think you can get a car for that cheap here.
at least not one that doesnt need fixing
or breaks down after a couple of km
currently looking
not looking that good
so far i have not seen one that doesnt have this or that issue
and so far none has a guarantee to get through the general inspection required by law to even register it
in fact, pretty much they all have these inspections required in the second half of this year now, so i assume most are too scared they wont get another pass this year...
also not exactly a lot of power any of them... like 50hp? in this area?
you're going across the mountains in second gear or something, raising the gas usage ALOT
i think i'm looking at other criterias than actual price
granted, rn? I'm just looking for a car that i can drive. meaning i can register.
and i can only register if it doesnt have any obvious flaws to it
which rust btw is also a point at certain parts of the car.
if a certain part is rusted it wont pass the safety inpsection.
good luck with tüv
my moms old bmw's exhaust system slowly rusted away
so initially the idea was to just fix it by welding the necessary parts over
eventually TÜV (responsible for our mandatory inspection) just said "you are better off scrapping it"
tbf, my friend got his shitty corsa for like 1000 or 1500, and if he wasnt the biggest idiot known to wet roads he'd still be driving it i'm pretty sure
i'm sure you can get a car for super cheap that drives a year or maybe two
but then you're also not exactly looking at driving far distances right?
how much do you drive, let's say, a week?
total or each way`?
yeah okay. i drive a bit more than 100km a day
just to and from work

so ive been playing this new game called aven colony. it reminds me somewhat of a space based ANNO, but with a little less management.
well, space based, its on another planet n stuff
proper cargo
yea, im now at the second mission and
same buildings. same everything basically
the problem with such games is that they give you a campaign, but everything is unlocked right from the get go. thats why i like dawn of man over banished. they are both great games, but in banished you can do everything from the get go, while in dawn of man you need to evolve through history.
and its fun, for 1 time. but now i need to do like 8 times the exact same thing. built up the exact same colony and manage it the exact same time.
its still a fun game, but ur right, it bores fast.
its a little sad that alot of indi devs are coming up with great base building games but are hampered by finances, that they need to bring out their games early access and accrue funds early, while basically selling you only an unknown. and their idea's are great. but the problem is that more than once devs showed when finally releasing the final product that "tadaa. we hardly fixed the bugs, and ur left to your own devices", is happening a little too much.
ofcourse there are exeptions to the rule. Amplitude, who made the endless games obviously ended up perfectly, where even SEGA was willing to lay down money for them.

i left r6s after half a year after release.
mostly cause i was so terrible and got shot from corners like madnes. plus my computer was bad and everything felt as if it was swimming.
and when i went back a while later and found that my extra pass, unlike other games only lasted for a year, worth of a handful operators, and every new operator would cost me more than 5 times what i needed for the default operators, and didnt want to drop another full game price on yet another temporary pass? yeah i never looked back
i installed it again a week ago, maybe i'll try it again with my new system in a bit. but i dont exactly see myself playing as much as i used to play csgo

played it well over 2000 hours. atleast 500 of em i can honestly say i didnt had joy in playing it. but there was something about being in a clan and playing with other people. before i became a pessimist and just said fuck it all and suddenly dropped the game. it was a liberation, really.
i still keep in touch with some of em, but no way near as much as when i played the game ofcourse.
that game turned me toxic

Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire. I got it for some promotion in another game for free premium currency and stayed for the Guild I ended up joining. I don't know how much time I clocked in it, but when the guild eventually disbanded, I deleted the game and it felt good to not have to deal with it anymore.
fallow bronze
man i suck at totalwar
orchid prism
Same.
With me it's mainly a lack of understanding battlefield tactics, and how every Total War game is designed to fuck you over the minute you become a certain size (I remember this with dread in Shogun 2)
fallow bronze
restarted 3 times already :p
proper cargo
well, 3 kingdoms is easy to understand
keep the enemy infantry busy with your infantry, then run horses in their arses
thats like, the main strategy in all battles XD
its really a problem that theres no smart AI. you would think that after 20 battles he would learn to also respond to my horses but he hardly seems to do this, other than moving a spear unit towards them. infantry. trying to intercept horses. ofcourse that speed difference aint gonna work XD
in most previous titles, archers were the main thing to deal damage with. so just stretch ur infantry out, and flank the enemy with archers and you win alot of times. in shogun as well, i favored using the matchlock units over archers simply cause the direct fire was way more devastating
i honestly found it a little bit weird why cavalry wasnt as strong in total war rome 2. they were more a harasser unit, while in 3 kingdoms, one of their charges is enough to almost obliterate a single unit.
so not all total war games can be played the same. i mean, in warhammer in particular, since different factions have a whole range of different units
but most total war factions have about the same units

done 4 maps. 4 maps of about the same bases made and no real progression. it has a nice story, that is overshadowed by the fact that you are tasked with the same tasks each and every time. building the same buildings each and every time.

SUPERHOT:MCD plays absolutely amazing with analog keyboard input. Probably the only game where it actually makes a difference (unless you count that dirty trick with walk speed in CS).
ornate cedar
my strat with total war is to first focus on trade and income and quickly take as much rebel cities as possible. With the battle itself my standard strat is to get the high ground and to first have missile and infantry behind for clear shot at the enemy. Calvalry mostly stays back and try to get in a good position the lance down the enemies missles (archers and siege equipment). When the enemy comes close the infantry charges with the archers focussing on the enemies archers. The faster they lose troops the quicker they lose morale. Also dont let the archers shoot at enemy infantry that is engaging with your infantry/cavalry, friendly fire is a bich
proper cargo
i know, i always make sure they flank the enemy. but i use my cavalry more aggressively, because if you let the enemy AI know your cavalry is on their flanks, they will always have to take it into considering. and 1 tricky thing i do is i use a forest area, so i got standard 4 cavalry units in each army, i run them to the flanks, and then i hide 1 in a forest while the other 3 keeps distracting. somehow they programmed the AI to behave purposely dumb here and they completely ignore the fact that 1 cavalry became invisible.
ornate cedar
Let them divert some troops for the calvalry. The cavalry can outrun the infantry and archers and seperating and thinning the frontline is very effective if possible. Concentrated attacks are more effective than splitting them. The mathmatics are much better when concentrating your frontline.
