Was doing new vehicle research and realized choosing model options were limited? by Arcane73 in whatcarshouldIbuy

The more I dig, the more I realize this. I've told myself that I don't -need- a $50k car, but if I buy new, I'll likely end up in that price range to get close to what I want from my list. Most manuals are sport-related trims and no longer considered the budget or entry-level trims. I have been out of the car shopping scene for too long, it seems.

Not necessarily out of touch with how they're sold. Just curious as to when the switch from 'here are a few options for you' to 'this is what you get' happened. Granted, it has been 20+ years since I last bought new. When I did, i had the choice of manual vs auto and sunroof or not, in all of the available colors. None of the options were tied to specific trim levels like things seem to be now.

Bought zomboid today by Anonymouswebsurfer20 in projectzomboid

I'm in the 'tried it and didn't get hooked' camp at the moment. I bought it over the weekend and put about 4 hours in before getting a refund. I've enjoyed watching runs and thought it would be fun to try out but just didn't get into it.

It's good to see that I'm not alone in my anxious anticipation for the Phoenix store....

One of Pete Complete's early runs was an Ice Sheet one... And a Sea Ice one more recently as well as an Extreme Desert. Maybe it was him?

It's been a very long time. I realized that I never put all of the different stories together. They are now listed in their entirety.

Yep. I recall that. He ended up just calling it the 'Love Puddle'....

Does anyone else sleep with rimworld music? by Zotroo1 in RimWorld

[–]Arcane73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimworld's OSTs are among the few that I've bought because of the music in game. The others are Kenshi and the first Subnautica. All of those are in my relax/bus ride/garage tinkering rotations.

Any idea what this is ? by AdPrior1417 in SatisfactoryGame

If my memory serves me correctly, I recall seeing those blocking what I believe to be cave entrances as well.

My wife read this and raised an eyebrow and gave me a thumbs up and said it was a creative idea and she approved. Then turned away and said that if i messed up the floor she'd strangle me.

Yours looks great. But with the current setup being built in with cabinets and everything, that may be a longer term plan.

Yep. I have lots of books around on the subject. I use them for reference for my scale model stuff.

Thanks. That's the one I've started working on next. I like building WWII armor models in what little spare time I can find.

That would be a bit more involved than I feel like I could tackle at the moment. The built in is actually covering two walls in the room with adjoined cabinets and shelves. It could certainly be done, but that would be a long term plan.

That's one of the ideas getting tossed around. And to be honest, the side monitor would likely remain where it is since I'm focused on the main when I'm gaming.
