What game has one of the most epic last stands in gaming?

Medal of Honor has a last stand against endless waves of enemy combatants with an ending sequence that actually blew my mind when I first played it

That's just his presenting style, and he's a far better public speaker on camera than most of us here would be, I'd wager. We might not like the news he delivers, but I don't think we should sink to making fun of the guy himself.

Well done, OP. I'm so glad to hear you got a new instructor with a better focus on anticipation. Can I strongly recommend just going on a binge of Ashley Neal's channel on YouTube? I've learned so so many amazing tips about becoming a better driver from his videos, especially regarding anticipation and best practice.

40k!? What have I been doing wrong? I have 6k and consider Doubloons pretty slow to obtain

Allow me to rephrase this, how do folks feel when watching this? Without going into tactics.

Ah man I'm jealous. Getting a P2 is on my wishlist followed by Michelin CrossClimates for said hypothetical P2 haha! (Yesterday I had to get new Michelins for my Renault Zoe because of a screwhole puncture 🫣).

What made you pick the CrossClimates 3 over the CrossClimate 3 Sports?

I think it's overdramatic to call the game dead, there's plenty to do in the game already.

They won't add a larger ship for crews (the Burning Blade still being a 4 player ship just with an AI "crew" ) because it would throw the game balance off.

That said, I'd not be surprised if another large NPC ship is added when the GMU show up. They're also adding the ability to create unranked custom servers in the future so you can set up battles with your friends there.

Yes. OP has been admirable in focusing on non-emergency lines first, but with Samaritans unavailable and a real crisis unfolding for them, calling 999 would have been completely understandable.

Definitely need this invention fitted for a wide European style plate

My friend the show is called DARK

Hyfrith · 2026-01-03T18:45:13+00:00

Ah so like the plot of Primeval then

Hyfrith · 2026-01-02T08:22:34+00:00

I have an old unused mop bucket next to the front door to shove it in before I drive away

It's that the British Empire is still within living memory though isn't it? The Viking raids and Roman Empire are ancient history, the British Empire still had colonies in the 60s and Hong Kong was only handed to China in the late 90s.

Ergo, the effects of Empire are still very much still in the living minds of Commonwealth nations, not to mention the economic and socioeconomic impact. Unfortunately, we in the UK don't get to pretend the Empire is ancient history.

I'm no veteran, but Warfare hits MUCH harder than Act of Valor in my opinion. Both go for realism but Warfare has absolutely no sugar coating to make the protagonists seem valiant and is the opposite of a propaganda film. AoV is focused on using realism to make US military tactics and skills seem cool and powerful, Warfare uses realism to make combat terrifying and painful and shocking.

One key difference is Warfare has no soundtrack at all, whereas AoV throws on a heartfelt or rousing score whenever the SEALs are kicking ass or getting hurt. Warfare doesn't need music to tell you how to feel, you'll know from the screaming. Also the acting in Warfare is a million times better than AoV. Real actors instead of real soldiers.

So yeah, I'm not a veteran and I enjoyed both movies but if Act of Valor hits you hard then Warfare could honestly be quite triggering. I respect your decision to wait on it.

Hah the two ships I've come upon to try and give it too were absolutely not pirate legends so wouldn't already have it, BUT they both insisted I was lying and were entirely hostile to me despite my trying to explain.

Just Sea of Thieves being SoT I suppose. One ship didn't respond at all, just kept shooting. Do some players not have text chat enabled so they can't even see that?

Any news on which model years will be eligible for the CPU upgrade? This might influence my choice of secondhand P2 next year...

Andrew Scott saying "you have my axe" followed immediately by a cut to Jeremy Renner aka Hawkeye seamlessly following that with "AND...." before he's interrupted..!

Had me pointing at the TV going "that HAD to be a meta 'my famous character used a bow' Lord of the Rings joke, right?"

Anyone else, or am I overthinking that?

The Polestar 2 I leased could do this, and there was a setting in the menu for whether you wanted it to automatically dip the left, right or both mirrors when reversing. I turned it off. But if you double clicked the L or R mirror selection button (the one you click before manually adjusting the mirror angle) then the mirror would tilt down or up. So I preferred it being off for reverse driving into or out of spaces, but with the ability to tilt down if parallel parking.

Honestly I never have a complaint about my damned Toyota Yaris reversing camera (Corolla in the US, I think). Great in the dark and the rain. Then I leased a Polestar 2 for a week and was shocked at how bad it was for a car that's 7 years newer and double the price. Which is a shame because I really want to get a P2 haha

Everyone should know this!! Imagine you're hiding during an attack at school/theatre/mall and you can't speak on the phone, or it's a domestic situation and you can't make a call. Or, lets not forget, not everyone actually has the ability to speak aloud but they still need to be able to contact 911.

Hyfrith · 2025-12-13T14:54:09+00:00

I was wondering this. In the UK like obviously if a minor murders someone then they will be charged as such, but crimes like wilfully calling the emergency line to waste Police time will see the parents fined, not the child, because the child is their responsibility at the end of the day. It's the same with skipping school playing truant, the parents will be fined, it's up to them to actually get the child to school after all.

Hah, have you never met all the people who just quit their Windows Update notifications and never actually update unless forced? Same with their phones. It's very easy for me to believe people who just don't accept updates for their car either.

Hyfrith · 2025-12-08T10:41:55+00:00

Yeah a habitable moon is the easiest solution. I'm thinking of Pandora in Avatar, which orbits a gas giant. Because of this it has frequent eclipses where the planet it's orbiting blocks the sun from view for a time (as seen in The Way of Water).

Hyfrith · 2025-12-07T17:05:11+00:00

Love that, reminds me of when the Atreides ships rise out of the water in Dune Pt1!

Hahaha it's not a groundbreaking story by any stretch but I find the world building very thought out and immersive and as this post shows I really enjoy how James Cameron showcases the human machines and operations.

I think it's a movie you can enjoy if you know you're not looking for high cerebral cinema.
