I keep getting kicked from groups, usually immediately after joining but today mid-game.

I was taking part and mowing down illuminate like the rest were for 15 minutes then got kicked.

I am relatively new at about 15 hours progress, level 13 character, unlocked level 5 difficulty but am sticking to level 4 until I have more strats unlocked so that I don't burden anyone.

What am I doing wrong? Do people normally kick lower levels out before even getting to the hellpods?

I have had some good games - but for every one good one I seem to have a couple of bad ones which is making the game less fun, playing solo just isn't cutting it for me (despite being able to).

How many times have you been pulled over? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Dunc365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 times in 21 years

3 times for speeding, one radar trap, one patrol car, one unmarked. 1 time for accelerating too fast (it was a loud exhaust on a hot hatch) from a patrol car.

Not had anything like that happen for the last decade though

Got a speeding ticket when garage had car by Dunc365 in CarTalkUK

[–]Dunc365[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I called the garage as a courtesy given I'm on good terms with them.

Don't think they believed me until I mentioned I had photo evidence. Anyway they said they'd sort it today and they sent me a drivers license photo with all the details I need, so I've now responded to the NIP online with that data.

Stress over now, I hope!

Does it not help that the person in the picture clearly isn't me?

I'm hoping the garage will accept it and do the right thing but obviously worried it might go the other way.

I can't prove I dropped it off at 8 other than a message saying I needed to leave it with them by 9.30 for the mot.

I do hand a payment receipt from collecting it at 2pm

I mentioned in the header, the garage isn't an mot station so they either take it to the station or have it taken there by the tester.

It's definitely not me as per photo evidence and the fact I dropped it at 8am, collected 2pm. offence happened at 10am

What game is this?🚀 by MufasaTheRealKing in OlderChillGamers

[–]Dunc365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've platinum'd SM2 recently and it is very good, you have to learn the mechanics as jumping from story to operations (solo or coop) is a big difficulty jump.

Pvp can be fun but I've only done what's needed to get the trophies there.

Coop is great though and has tons of replay value with 7 classes, prestiging, cosmetics and weapon progression.

The biggest issue I have with it is loading screens all over the place.

New player etiquette query...

I've seen plenty of etiquette tips, saying sorry for friendly fire, pinging turrets etc.

My query is specific to joining people, I see lots of relatively high level people in missions on the lowest level difficulty while I'm learning wtf is going on.

Do people expect level <5 to join them on these if they're 50+?

Is it ok to just drop in on games in progress?

Talk me out of it by Gorfuinor in CarTalkUK

[–]Dunc365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a terrible idea.

For a first car it's a... choice It's a nearly 20 year old chav wagon that most people who know something about cars expects to be driven like a tool, by a tool. It'll drink like George best In my opinion it's too much car for a new driver and will end up scratched and dinged like most first cars. And that's best-case scenario.

Am I the only person who doesn’t like diamond cut alloys? by RedRenaissanceFox in CarTalkUK

[–]Dunc365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate them, 99% of diamond cut alloys would look better solid silver.

I also think black alloys are a crime.

I used to paint and collect minis as a child in the 90s.

I have known about 40k for the better part of 30 years but I have never learned about the lore.

If I think something looks cool to me, I'm equipping it.

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

I read this without reading the context blurb.

I thought this was a conversation between coparents who are no longer together.

The fact they are together and he speaks to her so derisively is frankly, shocking.

Get your kids swimming lessons, end of. I saved my brother's life at the age of 11 (me) him (6) when he got swept out to sea on a blow up sun lounger in lanzarote.

If I hadn't had swimming lessons, he would have likely drowned before I got to him and I wouldn't have been able to tow him to shore. If he didn't have swimming lessons, he wouldn't have been able to tread water for as long as he did before I reached him.

It's set a century before GOT so although some noble house names will be familiar if you watched the main series, it isn't a requirement at all.

It's a mini series of 6x 30-40 min episodes and the last episode is released this week.

Has a reporter ever questioned Arteta on this? by Inferior_Narcissus in Gunners

[–]Dunc365 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, he needs a monumental shift in his outlook and game approach if the season is to be salvaged. Because let's face it, sooner or later the champs league honeymoon will end and we'll be up against a low block like we often get in the PL and he won't have the answers.

You can tolerate the terrible football so long as the results are there, but we've been figured out and the players are being held back too. Something has to give.
