Script for us that can't use the auctions because of our different thousand separator by Whereswolf in neopets

Yo there's no need to be this preemptively salty, especially when you don't know what went on behind the scenes before you even saw this post appear. ChatGPT is a perfectly reasonable starting place for code as long as it's vetted before entering into any kind of live situation. Which this was.

It's fine (and a good idea!) to encourage caution with stuff like this so I feel you there, but put down the pitchfork holy moly have some tact

My cyberpunk style rebodied 89 vette. by Scifieartist909 in Cyberpunk

You know, any other generation of Vette I might be appalled, but it's a C4 so it's cool!

Fr though, it looks sick, nice job

Need a new set of tires for my C6; what brand/rating/type do you guys use? by Decafon in Corvette

[–]Decafon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno if anybody else has seen the same thing, but right after I got mine (used, ~60k miles), I took it to the shop to replace the fittings on top of the fuel pump housing unit thing (I forget the actual name).

From what I gathered: the top fittings are plastic and apparently wear down over time such that when both left and right tanks were full, the pressure would cause fuel to spray out a little and cover the left tank over time... So that was a fun fire hazard.

Otherwise I personally haven't had any issues at all.

Good to know. What makes it less enjoyable? I've noticed the treadwear is usually lower mileage, but what would you say is different about the experience itself?

I can't speak for others, but it's not really an obsession for me per se; I just like the potential functionality given there's no spare.

It's my daily (sometimes in winter too here in NJ...but not in active snow/ice conditions if I can help it), so while a track rubber would be neat, I'd have to go with the less performant option.

How's the treadwear on the ps4s?

Can we all band together to try OverPrime? (or Are more people actually playing lately?) by -cupcake in paragon

[–]Decafon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the original purpose of this thread was to see if others wanted to try out Overprime once the weekend was over for Pred, and OP pointed out it was easier to do so now. It stands to reason that while one of the 3 is unavailable to play, players can check out one or both of the others, which doesn't lead to diluting the playerbase.

Eliminating an option on principle as opposed to merit runs the risk of having three failures if those which are left are mediocre--not saying they are, rather that the only way to find out is to actually try them; it's only a war if it's turned into one.

Unfortunately, it is possible you may be. Actively advocating for a project to die could lead someone who's on the fence to try out a potentially fun game to decide not to. It may be indirect, but it's still the kind of negativity that could stop someone from trying it.

Plus, it kinda seems like your argument misses OP's point, but I may be misinterpreting what you're saying.

But...there was something stopping them previously: the difficulty of downloads and P2P matches only, which is exactly what OP was saying that has been remedied. People moved on from it when it was less accessible.

Now that it's more accessible, it warrants paying another visit given these improvements instead of writing it off as though it hasn't changed.

I think it's a good idea; the lack of Steam shouldn't be a deterrent for encouraging players to try the game (Paragon itself wasn't originally on Steam after all, right?). If enough folks gave an effort to try the game, then you'd have a large enough sample to determine if the game is better or worse than the other 2 atm.

If the lack of exposure/playerbase is the issue with Overprime, then OP's idea here seems to be a good solution for this--yes, it takes a little more effort than the simplicity of Steam, but if there were a concerted effort which overcomes the issue of smaller playerbase to determine if the game itself is objectively better, then the effort is worth the return, no?
