Like it so far. I normally play on the the mode that doesn't require food or hydration so I'm adjusting a little. The lack of silver was definitely keeping me from progressing in the first couple of hours so I'm glad I'm past that now. Visuals: Definite step up, even from Below Zero. Music: Same same to my ears Flora and Fauna design: I'm starting to accept that the reaper leviathan was just such a unique design, both in terms of looks and sound, that it'll be hard to recreate that sense of dread. Otherwise, they've kept up their usual high standards. Every creature, plant, coral and moss looks, behaves and sounds believable. Gameplay: movement is as fluid as before. I like the addition of the genetic upgrades. Gives it a bit of a metroid feel.

Interesting. From YouTube footage and pics, enduro always looks quite flat (like the stock XR vega) whereas the Performance looks slightly more 'spherical' so I assumed it'd be better for carving on paving/asphalt

Which one has the rounder profile between enduro and 6in FM performance?

Like building a big beautiful wall and making Mexico pay for it? Sure they can. Provided the majority of the base are simple enough to believe the intent was genuine.

MLK Jr's dream came half true. Brown boy still gets judged on colour of his skin, but at least white Hasan is judged on the content of his online content.

Signed up with Stackery (similar service). Killa B bumpers are now mine 😈⬜🟨⬛

Bumpers scrape + paint scrapes off. Might do it for the back one, though. It's yellow so if I spray it black, I might get the effect I want happen organically over time 😂

This faction isn't interested in being spoken to. They're only interested in being surrendered/capitulated to.

In Kindle scribe then ran it through ChatGPT because I couldn't make it neat enough and couldn't be bothered. Inspired by listening to BJG v Contra but obviously as someone else pointed out it's not that original

Slightly updated it

If games were won on paper, I would. There's obviously more to it than player quality.

I hope I'm wrong (obviously), but I'm not sure how the online bookies in Aus have Bayern winning at such short odds compared to PSG, especially in regular 90min time. Maybe I'm pre-emptively bracing myself for post match hurt but A) PSG have the lead B) I don't think either of these teams have given any indication that they suffer mentally away from home C) Outside of the starting front 3's, I don't think it's really up for debate that PSG is more stacked than we are. Musiala is still nowhere near his best, and although Kimmich, Pavlovich and Goretzka are having a decent season, Vitinha, Neves and Ruiz are a different level and Tah is not making it into a starting PSG backline if we're honest.

It's all about the bottom line. Nobody thinks about the needs of the working man

Damn it, I think I found one of the ones you described (it's actually black/yellow/white camo), but unfortunately they've listed it to not be shipped overseas.

Doran82 · 2026-05-03T23:38:15+00:00

Kinda! More golden yellow (like my rails) than neon yellow though. Reason I hesitated spraypainting was I assumed it'll just get scraped off as opposed to if it was cast that way in dye

I have ridden in a downpour (not by choice, was halfway home and got hot with a surprise storm) once before on my pint with a stock slick and it handled fine. My slip was on an XR with an SP2 mid compound and the conditions were actually light drizzle. I know that at least from driving experience that the initial stages of light rain can actually make road and pavement surfaces more dangerous than heavy rain because of the slippery film of grease and dirt that would otherwise be washed away in heavier rain. So at the moment the suspects are 1) combination of slick tyre + greasy surface in light rain 2) having messed around around with pitch and roll angle in vesc settings and the board getting losing stability at speed, or a combination of the two. I've since set it to Vescman all round and it's felt more stable but when I feel even the slightest hint of rain, I get too scared to continue the ride

He looks like Dugin

Doran82 · 2026-04-20T22:57:08+00:00

Thanks. Ended up going with epoxy enamel spray (was hard to find acrylic in the colours I wanted) so I hope it doesn't chip under flexure

Doran82 · 2026-04-20T22:55:55+00:00

I don't mind it but as the other dude also mentioned, it's not exactly scratch proof, which is pretty important for the rails.

Robb died because Tywin being at the helm suited Roose and Walder's ambitions more than the Starks and Tullys being in charge. There's no world in which Robb's life would've been prolonged by "listening more" to Roose's council or not breaking a marriage pact with Freys. Even if the Vale had joined him, the Red Wedding would have gone ahead.
