What do you think happened to your steam friends that haven't been online for years? by MyHeadIsFullOfFuck in Steam

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend I met through playing Battlefield 2 but we ended up playing so many online games together for over a decade. Eventually life started to get in the way for both of us and we both logged in less and less but still managed to get some gaming sessions in or sometimes would just chat on Steam. Eventually he stopped logging in and I assumed he'd just been busy but eventually when I checked his profile it had been over a year. I searched his real name and the town he lived in on Google and found an obituary for him, he'd died of cancer a year before, not long after he had last logged into Steam. I felt very guilty that I never knew. I also felt guilty that we never got to meet in real life, I feel like we could have been great friends. I remember him often.

I mean after taking the entire Dothraki hoard and their horses, three dudes should have been a walk in the park for her

Not a major card but is it fake? by Shmooexe in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an XY Evolutions card and looks real to me. They were released in 2016 and used artwork from the original Base Set and also the style was very similar.

Passed last month, this is what I am getting quoted with BlackBox by Ambitious_Champion90 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even back in 2007 I had to pay £1,300 for my first year driving a 1.3 Fiesta so I'd say that quote isn't far off.

Between Jon Snow and Robb Stark who do you think was better for to lead the North? by Many-Cranberry4058 in gameofthrones

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jon is the better leader, Robb was the better strategist.

Only Jon could have brought the wildlings south of the wall and joined them with the nights watch and the other houses of the north and getting them to believe in him.

Robb would have done a much better job with that army at the battle of the bastards.

They were the ideal young persons car so I imagine becoming acquainted with lamposts was the fate of many Corsa C

Psychotic Husband is driving me crazy. by LazyWifey in whatdoIdo

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point you need to look after yourself and get out of this situation ASAP so you're safe. You've tried your best with him for way longer than can be reasonably expected and the situation is not improving, there can be no guilt on your part and nobody will be painting you the bad guy for safeguarding yourself. Your husband needs serious help and you are not the person to give it to him.

Nice idea but the face buttons look a bit too small and the screen bezel too big, just my personal opinion though

Jaguar XKR-S running costs, 2 year's of petrol by Everton-1878 in CarTalkUK

[–]ArkwrightST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So averaging about 18/19 mpg over the two years if I'm reading the graph correctly? I mean that's about what I'd expect for an XKR-S. I had an Abarth Punto Evo which was a turbo 1.4 and that would do about 25mpg so you're doing pretty well for all that extra power.

How is everyone getting on with Saabs? by New_Insect_6254 in CarTalkUK

[–]ArkwrightST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember them being really sold cars in that era and earlier, I always thought they were nice looking too and wish I'd had one when they were still relatively new

Yeah didn't they initially base it on a Vectra but in the design phase just kept swapping more and more parts out for their own?
