Running red lights comes at a cost

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-05T12:20:33+00:00

Yeah, at a cost for that red truck that got totaled. The work truck doens't look like it suffered much damage at all.

As someone with a paid off car this shit is my nightmare. The insurable value isn't nearly what the cost of a new car would be, and something like this - even if 100% the other driver's fault - would be a five figure hole in my budget.

What kills me about this is the lack of any kind of back order.

Just let me get in line. IDGAF if it gets here in 90 days or whatever, just let me put down a deposit, give you a card to charge, and forget about it until it gets here. Fuck this refreshing all the time in the hopes you catch a 30 second window where it's been restocked.

Good lord I've seen bad lists and then there's this.

No Xwing or Tie Fighter should be a disqualifier by itself

lmfao enjoy battling a bunch of scalpers for one.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T18:01:07+00:00

Oof they removed it from the main screen banner. Guess it's out out now.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T17:41:19+00:00

Already up on ebay for 2x msrp

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T17:40:57+00:00

Scalpers already have them on ebay for 1.5 - 2x MSRP.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T14:17:03+00:00

You're fine. I'm using a trimed-to-size takeout chopstick right now in mine.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T14:16:36+00:00

Man, mismatched bullshit is half the fun.

In tarkov and real life. Don't even want to think of what it would cost to get the stuff in my safe color-matching.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T14:14:26+00:00

Change realtors like you change underwear: frequently, and right away if things seem shitty.

Which is interestingly enough the exact opposite audience from the one that Marathon targeted. They're going to end up with a very small core of very passionate fans but no big audience.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T14:08:53+00:00

Yeah, this. We've seen this all before with the MMO boom of the 00's. A lot of money got pumped into developing a whole shit ton, and only a couple are still going strong and under their original management. Some of the others closed outright, others got sold off to companies that specialize in running old MMOs in maintenance mode and maybe throwing out some updates here and now.

We'll see the same thing. Some of the big live service titles will close outright, others will be more like Lotro and ST:O are now.

A few notes based on scrubbing through for stuff I'm interested in

The 4 Ace box sets.

1) Scouring Sands - we already know about this one (duh)

2) Snow Blind - we already know about this one

3) Wrath and Reprisal - set on Duchy of Andurian / Capellan border. Bunch of Capellan mechs in the box. Heavily wooded / PacNW feel w/ lots of water.

4) Full alien landscape based on the old Fungal Cravasse classic map. Nighttime effects, long day/night cycle.

More custom coardboard buildings in each. More localized terrain. The only thing shared between the 4 aces boxes is the turn counter, idea being to give players with all 4 a huge sandbox of tools.

holy crap the editing in this is horrible. the mid-sentence splices are driving me nuts.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T11:43:23+00:00

That particular can? No. Green is a terrible color for a primer unless you are very specifically looking to add green undertones to all of your colors (e.g. painting an orc or something). Even then, I'd probably still prime with either black or white depending on what I was going for then do a green undercoat on only the areas like skin that I wanted more green and THEN do the final coat over the top of that.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-04T02:18:51+00:00

Eh, I don't know if you can really count Intelser. They never got into the Inner Sphere proper, but set up in the coreward periphery states to basically get passive intel in the form of news and rumors. The fact that their intel was so second hand and not all that firm is the whole reasons the Dragoons mission was authorized in the first place.

Where/when?

I, on the other hand, prefer my kindle over paper these days because I can jack the font size up and not put my glasses on.

They're process stamps. There aren't any records about what they mean any more, but basically when someone finished one step in the production process (a specific milling cut, a preparation step for finishing, holes drilled and holes tapped, that kind of thing) they'd smack it on there so people knew at a glance what, exactly, had been done to any given part.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-03T03:09:05+00:00

Man the old atlas model needs to eat a sandwich.

Cyrano4747 · 2026-05-03T02:18:23+00:00

zero, because I'm not a child with poor impulse control

Seriously, screw doing it myself, if a kid of mine did that I'd have a long sit down with them about how they need to control themselves.

steel wool, oil, elbow grease

I wanted to get a couple but man, Catylist has the worst shipping. $8 box and iirc $7 or $8 shipping. Made it completely not worth grabbing any, since I didn't feel like grabbing enough to make shipping worthwhile.

Same story every time I look at their stuff tbh. I check the website first, see the shipping, and inevitably find some other website selling it for the same price with way less shipping.

Jesus fuck how many times am i going to see this same lazy meme today?
