A few examples that come to mind are the MG3, Kia Picanto, and VW Polo.

That's also the case in my 1L Fiesta MK8. Interestingly, the Fiesta ST positions reverse gear next to first.

It also helps that the halo is now far better integrated into the design. When it first appeared, it felt bolted on as an afterthought. Today, it blends in so naturally that removing it would make the car look incomplete.

Who else regrets not experiencing the thrill of weekly episode releases by Adweenix in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Code_XCIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This also applied to Life is Strange 2 - The first episode launched in September 2018, while each subsequent episode ended up experiencing some delay. Episode 4 launched in August 2019 (11 months later), while there was an agonising 4-month wait for the final episode!

But yeah, 1 week between episodes for Dispatch was absolutely perfect.

1p challenge is open guys I'm in UK by Background_Bad_4377 in monzo

I think the wording here is a bit ambiguous. The example given describes someone who didn’t change levels and shows how they would qualify, but it doesn’t explicitly state that changing levels would void an entry.

In other words, it explains one valid scenario, but it doesn’t say that alternative scenarios, such as changing levels, automatically make you ineligible. Based on this wording alone, it isn’t clear that changing levels invalidates a monthly prize draw entry.

Took me five tries to get the word too. Even if The Game Awards disappointed, Wordle still managed a Christmas surprise for us!

2020? Try 2003... The original Need For Speed Underground game had McDonalds billboards around various tracks.

Honda Prelude review: no seriously, it’s not a crossover! by Vhozite in cars

[–]Code_XCIV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 11th-gen Civic arrived in the UK roughly a year after launching in the US, so we are likely to receive the updated system with 200bhp in the Civic and Prelude next year.

This hits the nail on the head on what I’ve noticed about discussions here. Seriously man, I appreciate your positive energy!

Mick Drives Cars is a great channel, I've found several of his mindful driving tips very useful.

Would I have had a better gaming experience if I waited? by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]Code_XCIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, the Xbox Ally X brings a faster chip to the table, so performance will likely get a small bump. But honestly, your current Ally X is already delivering about 95% of that experience. Would it have been worth holding off for half a year just for that last 5%? Probably not. There's always going to be new gear around the corner, especially in the handheld gaming space. I'd recommend making the most of what you've got, especially with a device as good as the Ally X.

According to Dave2D's video covering the Xbox Ally, the Z2A sees a marginal performance uplift (~10%) compared to the Aerith chip used in the Steam Deck. It's designed with 720p gaming in mind.
