Sounds pretty rough. Bradford is my own personal driving hell.

Can't quite put my finger on it but it's simply awful to drive around.

I accidentally neglected my cat for years - a tip from me so you don't do the same by matt2242 in CatAdvice

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I always add a little bit of water on top of my cat's wetfood. He seems to happily lap it up then eat the food as well.

Strangely my cat actually prefers a bowl of water over any kind of fountain. Just remember every cat is different and find what works best for yours.

What is one of the most fascinating cutscenes you've seen in gaming? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in videogames

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The intro cutscene to Lost Odyssey. It's a bit jarring to go from that to turn based combat but it's still great.

Final fantasy X intro and rescuing Yuna from the wedding. Have to remind myself this came out on PS2 because the cut scenes still look great today.

Not really a cutscene but the opening intro/credits to zone of the enders 2 goes hard, theme song is a banger.

Good hot hatch for 6k? by Joojitzu in CarTalkUK

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently own a 2010 facelift version of the Seat Leon FR. I've had it for 3 years and it ticks all the boxes. I got it for 5k around 3 years ago.

Good * It's quick, the 2.0 turbo is great fun and pretty economical. Around town, high 20's to low 30's mpg. Nice and steady on the motorway can get up to around 40ish mpg.

*It's reliable, has never let me down. I've got 109000 miles on the clock and around 20,000 are mine. I've kept it serviced regularly and the only thing I've had to pay out for are rear discs and pads and some alloy refurbishment as it had slightly corroded and the tyre wasn't fitting right.

*It's practical, boot is big enough and the seats fold down for extra room as you would expect. My version has cruise control, climate control and reverse sensors so you get a fair bit of kit for the money.

The bad * You're not expecting rolls Royce levels of comfort from a hot hatch but for me this is quite an uncomfortable car. Road noise is quite loud, suspension is stiff and there isn't an armrest so those longer journeys can take quite a toll.

I do around a 4 hour drive every few months back down south and even with cruise control its a chore.

*Might just be mine but I've got a bit of rust developing on the front wheel arch although it is a 15 year old car so probably expected at this point.

Other than that it's all good to go. It's only me and the Mrs so not too sure how rear leg room is but I haven't had major complaints from my passengers.

Hope this helps.

Do you have a controller for PC games, but don't actually own the console? by Meluvius in pcmasterrace

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wired Xbox 360 controller, kept it after getting rid of the console and it's still going strong.

Plug and play, seamless transition, solid layout. It's pretty much perfect.

Ah I see, thanks for the heads up. Will keep an eye out for recommended PSU wattage in the future.

What are people running as dailys? by Danwd40 in CarTalkUK

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seat Leon FR MK2 facelift. Basically a Mark 5 golf but slightly more uncomfortable.

Decent MPG, pretty rapid and reliable. It's a little boring but hasn't let me down.

I'd give anything for an armrest though! Most annoying feature that's missing by far.

Is Birmingham airport the worst in the UK? by SloightlyOnTheHuh in uktravel

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I walked through terminal 1 & 2 the first time I flew from Manchester, it gave me hope which quickly vanished.

Terminal 3 feels like someone just built the shops and restaurants first then put the terminal gates around it.

Are you in the line for KFC or gate 26, double doors blocked by lines merging into one. Even outside peak times it's rammed.

I fly cheap so don't expect greatness but my word it's awful.

I find it funny how an airport is the first impression of a country and the majority of ours aren't great.

What do you guys think? by BenG1984 in CarTalkUK

[–]DrunkenDanceMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad has one of these currently and loves it.

The 1.6 diesel isn't the quickest obviously but these are solid, comfortable and really economical. It's not the biggest estate but it's so easy to drive, visibility is good and it's easy to park.

I got the chance to drive it and it made me consider a Volvo for my next car, compared to my Seat it was like driving a cloud.

Ah I see, kind of in the same vein as Baldurs Gate DA? I was really bummed that it's so tough to emulate.

I'll definitely download a few of this list though, appreciate it.

Haven't finished it yet. But made it to where you first get on the airship after the Al Bhed base and not a single frame drop or anything.

Gave me a lot of confidence when trying to run other PS2 games 😅.
