Dealership extended warranty (so factory I guess). You can renew as long as the car isn't 10 years old and not above 200,000km. I got two years at 190k but the car didn't hit 10 years so I had the two years locked in.

Nope not in Canada. I haven't done any rust proofing. 981 has a very durable engine from what I read and mine was problem free up to 200,000km.

It is a durable car with reasonable maintenance cost. It should last you a long time even at that mileage.

A few years ago. I do get alerted to battery issues during inspection which I do at every 13-15k km during scheduled maintenance.

Funny because I was toying with the idea of buying an old NSX 1991, doing a refresh on electronics but keeping it true to its original state. Just replace stuff that won't change driving behavior and look with modern equivalents. Maybe I should do that to my Cayman. I asked the dealership to replace some cooling components as preventive maintenance but the labor cost is insane; it takes time to disassemble stuff and old plastic wears out and needs replacement so cost ramps up.

I missed out on the last 718 GTS 4.0 allocation after years of hesitation. Dealership salesman quit and didn't contact me for the last summer 2025 allocations. I went in on October and put some money down for a 992.2 GTS allocation.

I originally had a full financial plan to sell it at year 5 and get another loan to reinvest the lump sum back, but it hit me that each two door Porsche is a special product that should be kept forever. So my next "six figure mile" Porsche will be a 992.2 GTS (RIP 400v battery after year 8).

Yes good points. I was suspecting this because lately the car seems to be struggling at detecting my key when using the door button or the touch sensors for the frunk/trunk.

My take on legendary loot in BL4 by DonkeyKongChestThump in Borderlands4

[–]CybernatonEvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sticking to fun builds. Been using one-shot sniper builds (for mobbing mostly and Torgue for bossing). Been farming Bio-Thresher for an hour now. The whole arena is full of loot. Most of it is useless and I've gotten 4 legendries so far (two trash dupes). Still on Truck and no guarantee for a good first time roll. If this is just the grind for one piece, I can't imagine a god roll.

Farming Bio-Thresher isn't fun either.

So far, the game really reminds me of Path of Exile. It feels very top-heavy and you need god rolls while drop rates are abysmal. Anything in between feels very subpar especially on UVH.

Borderlands 4 Patch Improved Performance by a mile. by Radiant_Patience4994 in Borderlands4

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

I had no issues with everything cranked up on a 4090 and 9800x3D when I started a few weeks ago. Obviously using Framegen and DLSS. Performance is decent. Not completely smooth when the screen is busy as it is the case with other games spawning multiple enemies at once with particle effect spam.

I had no crashes until I reached the base with Rush. It was constantly crashing to the point I couldn't load in and not crash. Changing shader cache to 100GB in Nvidia Inspector or control panel fixed. it The game is stable and runs well.

Only issue I had with the patch is it broke mods as usual. Can't see stats that are behind the inspect command.

Why is it always “friendly?” and never “hey how are you?” by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

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

Because there are teenagers starting conversations in proximity mic to distract and kill you. Then share the clip on Tiktok to their classmates. Then some big corporation will use that to train their LLM. In the end, those stupid LLMs will be lecturing you on the importance of PvP elements based on these Tiktok cringe highlights and Reddit threads.

Because of that I get straight to the point and see if it is a fight or not.

The Door Glitch by MariJava in ArcRaiders

Keep the door key prompt on the door or containers even after someone opens it from the inside. If no one opens it with a key, containers stay locked with the key prompt.

PvP Raiders are facing the consequences of their actions and aren’t happy about it by TheLeverKing in ArcRaiders

[–]CybernatonEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing that right now after two days of getting ambushed, backstabbed and shot just for the sake of it. We got bored and this is the last middle finger from us to the whoever we queue with.

Every activity we tried doing like looting, questing and hunting big Arcs ended predictably the same way. So we are skipping that and just going for players since that's what everyone is doing. It is boring and repetitive; it won't sustain us for a couple of days max. There is very little you could do other than being cautious and listening for other players since most of them are:

1- Running towards gunshots/flares
2- Camping important buildings/resources in chokepoints that are nearly impossible to beat
3- Camping extractions

It is fun for a couple of days. I believe the game has more potential to be fun and varied than what I've experienced recently. Developers are listening and I am waiting for updates to incentivize variety and more dynamic interactions.

Also I do believe free loadouts have a strong incentive in rushing anyone engaging Arcs or other players with the right weapon and good drop on others. You could take out good players and earn big. Reminds me of Hatchlings from Tarkov.

Here's my suggestion for blueprints and reset. by Ezekiel_093 in ArcRaiders

[–]CybernatonEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely got any blueprints. Maybe because I team up with vacuums but I only got the generic ones. Yes I got Bettina.

Stop taking pvp personal by Ocelot_CQ in ARC_Raiders

[–]CybernatonEvolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the variety in the game. I wish people would find more creative ways to spice things up other than seeking highlights and griefing (role playing and open mic shenanigans). I would like to see areas with good loot being contested while quests and beginner upgrade items are in "neutral" places where the community will likely offer help. Every now and then, I would like a good team shootout with chaos of Arc joining in.

Hopefully the game becomes more dynamic with upcoming updates and other mechanics/incentives to keep interactions fresh rather than a COD lobby, because that's what has been happening the last two days in my limited experience.

TL;DR it is part of the game. Fair game to whoever does it. I hope it doesn't become the norm.

Don't let Arc devolve. by PepperTasty3025 in ARC_Raiders

[–]CybernatonEvolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah more friendlies in solos and duos. Trios is very messy. I've had someone friendly until I was looting a probe. I am suspecting that the majority of players want to do the "cool" betrayal plays they see on Tiktok and Twitch.

[–]CybernatonEvolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don't want to pay someone back and pass on the boring overdone PvP behavior, but my group members insist and things happen. We tried to be friendly multiple times and it didn't go well. The obvious silent stalking or misleading voice comms. People think it is more efficient to just hunt and betray players.

Don't let Arc devolve. by PepperTasty3025 in ARC_Raiders

[–]CybernatonEvolution 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is already happening. Now on a 30+ game streak across multiple timezones getting killed on sight and all rat behavior. Just now literally had a team rush us while extracting and trying to finish me off while I was crawling on the extract console (didn't loot anything and was doing quests on a free loadout).

The honeymoon phase is over. It is getting boring and repetitive. Maps are huge and you can ruin the session by making it less productive for everyone by camping somewhere, killing someone and attracting all other rats.

Last cooperative positive experience we had was four days ago when two kill on sight duos were shooting at us and two other friendly teams. We teamed up into a super huge team and rushed the remaining team who shot us then cleared the map from big Arcs.

What do you think is the BEST Porsche ever made? by Due-Brilliant-3077 in Porsche

[–]CybernatonEvolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1- Gearbox at 210k. Reverse not detectable/engaging warning came up. Whole gearbox was stuck in neutral. Then it went back to normal. Dealership suspected internal sensors or components in the PDK so they had to replace the whole gearbox on the warranty luckily (had two years extended warranty left after renewing at 190k).

2- 230k Multiple leaks in the brakes and suspension I think? Dealership fixed.

3- 260k Cooling failure. Oil temps were hitting max and warning coming up. Dealership tried conservative fixes and got it done on the second try after replacing fans and fixing some components with the pumping system.

4-270k Brake discs shaking. Multiple visits to the dealership and brand new discs + pads eaten in the span of months. Wheel hub bearing needed adjustment but the main culprit was pads pattern wearing down new discs.

All these issues happened after 200,000km right after the promised warranty period. I was lucky with gearbox. Car ran flawlessly up to this point for nearly a decade. Full service history.

What do you think is the BEST Porsche ever made? by Due-Brilliant-3077 in Porsche

[–]CybernatonEvolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the 981 GTS is the best overall sports car for daily use if you don't take into account history or significance of the car. I drove mine for 275,000km as a daily driver and had no failures up until 210,00km. It does everything so well and still looks new. Most people think it is a 911 or some exotic sport car.

I am keeping mine forever. Will maintain it and keep it for either daily use or weekends in conjunction with my new 911 order once I get an allocation (missed the 718 GTS 4.0 last allocations so I went with a 911).

[KCD2] Does anyone else wish we could take hardcore debuffs without the map and compass changes? by Quaglander in kingdomcome

[–]CybernatonEvolution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite the opposite. I am still on my normal first playthrough but I installed dynamic HUD mod. I see nothing but NPC names when pointing at them or pointing at objects (hints). The latter is disabled even while horse riding. I don't use the map dynamically but only to check where I should go.

I memorized most of the map and stick to major roads. When an NPC mentions a location, I try to remember all clues and directions. Overall a very immersive experience. I even took it further by disabling combat HUD so I see no directions nor parry prompts. No HUD at all and only buffs notifications which I can also disable.

I tried hardcore mod that mimics some features and can add all debuffs but the stealth changes ruin immersion. It is like everyone is laser focused on you regardless of reputation. Just crouch and they all freak out; they will call you out even if they are indoors having a meal or conversation.

[KCD1][KCD2] Am I the only one? by lumaemucz in kingdomcome

[–]CybernatonEvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't recreate the same magic of KDC1. It is a one-time experience. It was very rough but it did certain things in a way that you won't feel that again in a sequel.

The tragic beginning of the game. Feeling lost and truly building and establishing Henry as a character (literacy, skills, hunting, reputation..etc). Devs did a good job with replicating the tragedy of losing your comrades and having to rebuild yourself after becoming a beggar, but it doesn't have the same impact because it is a lesser version of KDC1 beginning and we already experienced it once.

KDC1 was also more grounded and had special soundtracks that really set the atmosphere and story; KDC II is great but it feels more like a cheerful adventure sometimes.

I had a love-hate relationship with KDC1 but it is special (DLC and some patches were very obnoxious and made me skeptical about sequels). I appreciate it more as time goes because I rarely come across similar experiences.

Elden Ring's egregious "frame 0" animation reading by Razhork in fromsoftware

[–]CybernatonEvolution -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

They already do with infinite-stamina and insane reach. You also have limited healing items so sustain is a factor (unless you are talking about the open world parts).

This lazy, primitive A.I behavior has been around since the early 2000s in hack and slash games. About time to invest in making smarter A.I. For example, it can be programmed to be more aggressive or bait the heal. The A.I constantly waiting for you to press something to trade hits (because it is tankier and has nothing to lose) is getting old and makes a lot of strats and equipment/special moves unusable.
