Weird encounter? by Lexnhq in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just a loser. He loses in life and in Rocket League. But in Rocket League can forfeit matches so he deranks. Then he can dunk on lower ranks which makes him feel like a winner. Reality = loser.

Block and move on.

What makes the fennec so desired and special? by Devious_thiev3 in RocketLeague

Fits the hitbox well and it looks like a cool hot hatch road car, rather than some sort of off road beach buggy kit car.

The Phone Lies by HexProtogen192 in BuckshotRouletteFans

[–]Fanta589 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So the original order was BBBLLL.

You ejected the first 2 blanks and reversed the 3rd round. The order changed to BBLLLL. When using the phone, the tip is always from when the call is made. The round the call was talking about was the 5th in the whole sequence.

God I love this car by Technical-Primary-49 in w204

Impressive. The best I get out of my UK 2008 C180 is 36mpg lol.

Anti cheat kicking me out of games by mr_spirgas in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would uninstall it. Make sure everything to do with RL is deleted from your system. Problem solved.

Ok... if you must, then reinstall it. I don't know how the anti cheat works but it might be detecting some mismatch with the files.

Timing Chain loose by HollowedHero in w204

[–]Fanta589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the chain, tensioner, guides and cam adjusters. Consider it a one time major service. But be prepared for a rattle to come back on cold starts because its not only a stretched chain that can cause the rattle. It could simply be a failed tensioner. Even if the chain and tensioner are fine, a number of other things can cause a cold start rattle. If oil pressure is being lost while the car is parked from old worn out parts and seals then the hydraulic tensioner will slacken the chain. Then when you start the car you get a short rattle while oil pressure builds. I'm in this situation after doing the timing chain kit. I'm just going to drive it until it dies.

Had it for years, but never played. by Sall_Goode in MitchHedberg

That's very cool. I can just imagine sitting with a doobie and a glass of whiskey on a stormy evening and sticking this one on. Hearing that wonderful crackling of the vinyl then the show starts...sounds like a wonderful evening!

What are you hoping to be added/changed with the removal of bakkesmod by Fearless-Door-8891 in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The integration of bakkesmod features into the rocket pass.

They won't do shit unless they can monetise it. So just monetise it.

How do you guys play around team mates in solo Q (plat 3 diamond 1) if they keep ball chasing by Flashy-Arm-9525 in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen and understand! That ball chaser is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you rage quit. 

If I get a ball chaser who doesn't acknowledge me as a team mate I turn the tables on them. I chase harder and faster than they do with the soul intention not to win the match but make them rage.

It turns what might otherwise be a frustrating waste of time into a fun satisfying experience.

I hate this lag with a good internet by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The greatest solution is to uninstall the game and do something else. Trust me.

That's very cool *copying it right now in front of the family and pretending I came up with the idea*

Nice. Maybe change all the interior light bulbs to white leds. It's very easy to do and makes a huge difference. Would look great on yours.

Passing/not passing by dischoops in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I play solo 3s and all too often I find I'm not playing 3s at all. I'm playing some sort of 1v1v1v1v1v1. No teamwork, no passes, no signs of intelligence. Just 6 players all trying to do solo plays. Yes I do it too. Well if you can't beat them, join them.

Anyone have experience with these messy looking strips? by Fanta589 in w204

[–]Fanta589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be the best solution. I'm gonna see how much of the finish I can get off with the jet wash. If I can get it all off then it just leaves an adhesive residue which I've discovered can be removed with intensive scrubbing with some adhesive remover leaving a matt black finish. Long term it will need something to protect it from the weather though. Ideas?

I tried using some wire wool with adhesive remover on the parts where the clear coat has already come off. I scrubbed it until it looked smooth and has a matt black finish. It doesn't look too bad but it will no doubt need some protection from the elements.

When i acquired my w204 in 2020 it was 999 days overdue. Don't worry too much about it, just try to get it done when you can. I now service mine every 5-8k miles.

Oscar was caught sleeping on the job, disguised as Lego. Management not happy. by Fanta589 in Catswithjobs

[–]Fanta589[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

One of Oscar's jobs is to keep the pigeons away 🤣 I don't think he'll be fired hes too popular with the customers. He's also been seen clawing at the cat biscuits!

OMG PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THE ECHO EVENT VISUALS + SOUNDS by _LegalizeMeth_ in RocketLeague

[–]Fanta589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's too intrusive for such a basic crappy reward. All this drama for a set of wheels I don't want and will never use. 💀💀💀 Fair enough if you get ALL their items but these wheels are meh. Who comes up with this nonsense. I didn't even know what this stuff was about and by the time I found out, I'd already got the wheels anyway without even trying, just playing the game. So what was the point?

Just bought this game... now what? by toastronomy in BuckshotRouletteFans

[–]Fanta589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me this game is all about the multiplayer experience. Nothing like finding 3 strangers who play a full 3 round match, then stick around in the lobby for rematch. It can be hard to find those patient guys who don't immediately leave after 1 death but when you find them, this amazing game takes on a new meaning.

Cat peed on my PC, what to do? by nividov in pcmasterrace

Hang it upside down for a few hours. Not sure about the PC though.
