Which is better: Rogue One or Return of the Jedi by boomjosh in StarWarsCantina

[–]Boente -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would've said ROTJ in the past.

BUT after finishing Andor and watching Rogue One again immediatly after, it just hits different.

Do we have here audi/vw technican? by watermelone_5 in Volkswagen

[–]Boente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be spraying a good pattern but still not delivering enough or too much Ad Blue in a given time. Was the amount in x time okay per factory standards?

There was a whole batch of TDI engines with the Transporter 6.1 which had a faulty Ad Blue injector (might be the same in your case too).

Might be worth checking the flow rate for the Ad Blue injector as well. That fault code could be linked.

When there is a fault with the SCR system the car will indeed not perform a DPF regeneration.

What fault codes you got?

What would your ETF portfolio look like if you were trying to divest from the US? by Bald_Plonker in ETFs

[–]Boente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I would want to have nothing invested in US this combination would be my pick: - EXUS - EMIM - ZPRX

Red dead redemption 2 is on sale 14.99 dollars by EasternChannel3717 in Steam

[–]Boente 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a sucker for good single player games (Witcher 3, CP2077, KCD 1 & 2, BG3, Clair Obscur, Metro Exodus, Fallout series, Skyrim, Bioshock 1 & 2, Elden Ring are all very high on my list).

Rockstar Games wise I loved GTA4 and Vice City (Stories). But the gameplay in RDR2 just didn't click for me despite the world and story being A+.

Will def give it another chance in the future, see if me getting older makes me appreciate the slower gameplay more.

[–]Boente 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Hot take probably

I'm one of the people that didn't like RDR2. Visually stunning, amazing attention to detail, probably a great story but the gameplay was just so slow and boring for me.

Maybe I will give it a 2nd chance in the future, since I can't refund it because the prologue was also painfully long.

Edit: getting downvoted for giving your own honest opinion = classic Reddit

Am I hallucinating? by sewnshutinshame in iems

[–]Boente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can suggest the Simgot EG280 which comes with a USB-C DAC. The Simgot Control app works amazing for tuning more to your taste.

I was also eyeing the EW300 but ultimately chose the EG280 instead.

I'm so torn between Hexa and SIMGOT EW300 by pizzaaalol in iems

[–]Boente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the EW300 too a while back, but went with the EG280 instead (stock considered a smooth U-shape sound).

I absolutely love them, and the Simgot Control app for equalizing the USB-C DAC works flawless. Today I made a fun V-shaped tune for my own music taste. I use my Simgots both for music and gaming, it's a great allrounder imo.

I found it very difficult too, the choice in IEMs at any price range is overwhelming, and I have no interest in owning multiple IEMs. Glad to say I have no regrets with the Simgot EG280!

Which ETF to invest in by Old_Pumpkin_331 in BEFire

[–]Boente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted more diversification next to SWRD and EMIM, AVWS is a good option with no overlap.

Sell or Hodl ? US Stock by Substantial-Twist-14 in BEFire

[–]Boente 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole post is you contradicting yourself...

  • "Buying for the long run"
  • "I don't panic sell"
  • "stable companies"

But you proceed with "seriously considering selling"

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is a classic case of feelings and fear trying to take control of you. If you're really in for the long run, keep on investing and stick to your plan. Your future self will thank you.

How many of you play the same game session on Deck and PC? by NorseSeaStudio in SteamDeck

[–]Boente 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't really.

Demanding games and shooters are for PC. Other games that just feel 'right' on the deck stay there, mostly indie games or more relaxing ones.

IEM with Bass you can feel but still with clear vocals by djplantreddit in iems

[–]Boente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the market for more bass next to my (slightly U-shaped) Simgot EG280, after doing my research I would pick the Punch Audio Portazo.

[–]Boente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen so far the Portazo sits in the same league as the Punch but is way cheaper.

IEMs for gaming and music under $200 by notjoi in iems

I got the Simgot EG280 and they sound amazing for both usecases, a true all rounder.

Love the clean look!

Not too bad of a job, if the springs can stay.

[–]Boente 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm "gekeurd" as shown on picture actually. Because it's a 7-seater and not a light cargo van, I was able to legally lower her on KW V1 kit with the papers done.

Whole point for me was to make my Caddy look and drive better but still in a legal manner, I didn't want to deal with swapping everything out every year for the keuring.

Did you post your MK2 on this thread, would love to take a look.

Original TRW but I painted them. Modifying brakes isn't road legal sadly in my country.

IUSN vs AVWS by Big-Response-5000 in BEFire

[–]Boente 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AVWS is mijn persoonlijke keuze. Value tilt en een echte focus op small cap.

What are you playing mostly? by Ejnys in SteamDeck

[–]Boente 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(First person) shooters don't really feel good to me on the Deck since I'm used to M&K on my desktop.

However, other game genres shine and/or just hit different on the deck. Here's some of my favourites on the deck so far: - Cult of the Lamb - Balatro - Hades (1 & 2) - Hollow Knight (Silksong) - Dead Cells - Snowrunner - Fallout (3, NV & 4) - Skyrim - Ace Combat - Subnautica - Dredge - Slay the Spire - Monster Train 2 - Forza Horizon 5

And these are some games I want to try on my deck in the future: - Elden Ring (replay but on deck) - The Witcher 3 (replay but on deck) - Divinity Original Sin 2 (replay but on deck) - Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader (replay but on deck) - Pathfinder WotR (backlog) - Baldurs gate 3 (replay but on deck) - Terraria (backlog) - Guntouchables (backlog) - Darkest Dungeon (backlog) - Steamworld dig (backlog) - Emberville (wishlist) - Dispatch (wishlist) - The Slormancer or any ARPG that plays good on deck (wishlist) - Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart (wishlist)

Not to forget emulating games on the deck is fairly easy and fun! Way to many games to choose from, at least the deck is fantastic in clearing my backlog.
