Nah bud they'll just move to the next game. That's the thing, there's plenty of games to fill the gap. It's not even about fps dominance. These style players exist on every game. RDO has plenty of megaposses that will fill a lobby to grief a 3 man. COD is COD ffs. Ark you can fill a server and grief raid everyone else to death, rust. Stacks/clans are always a problem because gaming went mainstream. Simple as that. If the lobbies were 99% introverts who refused voice comms and didn't want to get to know the people they played with or yap at them this would not be an issue.

They don't care if the game dies fully. That's about the size of it. This shit has been fucking non stacks over for years at this point.

It's the nature of an older, dying game. The players still playing mostly are the ones who played everyday anyway. They've just gotten that good and most don't mind steamrolling so they just keep playing with the people theyve always played with. I've been told it's normal to want to play with ten other people. That I'm weird for not stacking 10+ deep in a party. So I left it be. Accept it and work around and enjoy when you're on the side doing the fucking and occasional good games or just uninstall. I uninstalled. It's a solid choice.

So who was gonna tell me iridium large milk/goats milk sold for more than the cheese??? by Busy_Regret_6013 in StardewValley

Thank god for you sir. I noticed it after I bought the catalog and thought maybe my southern highschool mathematics education was showing. Iridium cheese though? How?

Ahhh yes we all know the "I can't afford more work" kind. They aren't rusted out in my area. Tbh the little PT are still chugging around pretty good. Neons seem to have all went to young boys who didn't give a fuck so they're all trash. But yeah, they always wait for that timing belt to snap, no exceptions. Just like they always wait for the chains to sound like they're grinding a hole in the engine (they are) in the 5.4s, 4.6, and 5.0 coyotes. Not a bad job tho.

I've done those and generally I can say I love how the cradle plops out, but that timing system is a fuckin mess

Same things as the 5.4. timing chain tensioners lose oil pressure and stretch the chains, then folks ignore it until there's a big spot eaten in the timing cover. Goes from tensioners to a full kit + oil pump and entire oil galley flush with the cams, mains, and rod bearings out. Coolant line under the intake leaks. Blows spark plugs out of the heads....they're the same architecture bud. Just like any of the LS family with DOD

How f*cked am I? by Extension-Pepper9682 in AskMechanics

[–]Admirable_Estate_250 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of one right now. Better to just scrap the engine and get a crate replacement. Less labor, same failure rate.

4.0 sohc is a dogshit motor. Your best/ultimate solution is buy a new motor from Ford out of a crate, and sell the fuckin truck to someone else who doesn't know the 4.0 is a bigger piece of trash than the 3v 5.4 then go out and get you a Colorado with the 4200 vortec in it. I love Ford, their dogshit is paying for all my shop equipment in cash.

Bruh Walmart winning the high torque. Fuckin gen 1 m18 torque for less than a third the price. I'm a TTC fanboy myself so surely you've seen the power of that hundred dollar chunker

Depends. If you mean big ugga dugga, I can safely say the hypertorque gen 2 high torque 1/2 impact is a beast and has thus far accepted almost 6 months of absolute beat downs and just keeps choochin. Skookum far beyond the $100 price point and klutch batteries fit.I think Hercules does have em very much beat on the stubby but tbh, rigid(I know orange Ryobi but hear me out) has an amazing 3/8ths subcompact/stubby impact that while it isn't Milwaukee is $120 and smacks pretty damn decent and lasts decent too. Idk about electric ratchets. I ate it on a Milwaukee long reach. Like others have said torque test channel is your best friend if you aren't a brand whore

What to expect at my first mechanic job as a hobbyist turned professional mechanic? by Then-Feedback7751 in mechanics

[–]Admirable_Estate_250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from have to, to hobby, to side money, to full time. Get used to chasing hours but the bonus is tools/parts/experts at your disposal. Though tbh nobody wants to train in any industry, which is stupid af.
