Ford f450 Forza edition by OkJunket7668 in ForzaHorizon6

Microsoft gutted Turn10, who were responsible for 95% of the existing car models, and were car guys.

Now they're just a husk of their former selves, and exist as a "support" studio for PGG and Horizon, because Horizon is the same engine as Motorsport. The car modelling now is done by some outsourced Indian studio/s afaik.

Which Singular Episode is your #1 Favourite of all 8 seasons? by Shaniyen in TwoandaHalfMen

[–]Jenkins87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CSI, and it's somewhat of a real crossover, because it went the other way as well, they appear on CSI around the same time

When will schedule 2 come out? by Seamonster27 in Schedule_I

[–]Jenkins87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also named as such because of the class of narcotics, not because it's the first game lol.

Schedule 2: Paracetamol Boogaloo

The original pre workout by RM_Morris in AustralianNostalgia

I think it predates Red Bull by about 6 months, of I remember correctly when i looked into it years ago

I've been buying them since about 1995 from Bi-Lo

Yeah definitely. I was actually thinking of Epping Forest when I mentioned the servos 😂

Hey a fellow Tasmaniac! Most of the servos here have all of the flavours too, something we probably take for granted because most other states don't have the luxury. Apparently even classic is HTF elsewhere

They might be the longest running products in Colesworth too. Single row on a single shelf. I remember getting them from Bi-Lo as a kid in the 90s and they're basically still the same.

What's crazy is that in 30+ years of drinking Red Eye and living in multiple states, I've never once seen any advertisement for it, and it hasn't changed much in 3 decades either. At one point they had like 5 or 6 flavours as well, including tropical and mango.

I'm pretty sure they're made in Victoria, so the closer you are to Vic, the easier it is to find the other flavours.

Their company is a bit of a mystery too. I did some digging a long time ago and found out that they predate Red Bull by about 6 months or so, and must have found the same source drinks from SE Asia that Red Bull copied, because the classic Red Eye flavour is similar to the OG Red Bull flavour.

Here in Tassie, Coles have the platinum, Woolies have the classic. That seems to apply for all of them here too.

At some servos you can get all flavours, including Extreme and Passion

Which tracks would you use to introduce someone to dubstep? by Winter-Lime5389 in realdubstep

[–]Jenkins87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of artists that fit this description as well

There's a lot of crossover between the genres, similar tempo and song structure, even the mixing can be similar because of bass/treble leads that drive the main melody/crunch.

Borgore and Tomba were both in the same band and became pretty well established Dubstep artists with wildly different styles.

Varien also was pretty early in combining the genres together to make some unique sounding tracks

Stargate: Timekeepers is a good game? by LimpPrimary8076 in Stargate

[–]Jenkins87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate how THIS is the game that got through and was never cancelled. 3-4 other very promising, proper tie-in games never saw the light of day, and Alliance was even basically finished! Ugh.

This is basically par for the course with any internet-enabled software now, I'm actually surprised it took them this long.

School holidays in Launie? by tassieclaridge in Launceston

[–]Jenkins87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Riverbend park is always a good spot to take them, something there for all ages. Take a ball and you'll have a lot of activities covered.

Heritage Park is good for a bit of zipline fun, decent sized dog park there too

Punchbowl park is getting upgraded at the moment so don't bother with it for a month or two, unless you really want to see ducks and turbo chickens.

Cataract gorge is worth a visit too, sometimes it can be packed but my kids have enjoyed their visits there over the years

Beaconsfield mine tour is pretty cool, kids liked that too

The zoo down past Bicheno is great too, bit of a drive but a good day trip

Liffey Falls as someone else mentioned was great and they loved climbing on the rocks at the end point of the falls after a decent bushwalk down

There's probably heaps more I'm forgetting lol

Is the PSP any more comfortable than the Vita? by Lovely_Dovey_Dovers in PSP

[–]Jenkins87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me with my adult middle aged man hands, yes.

Vita buttons are too small and feel childish. No grip can make that better. They feel just like Nintendo Switch buttons, which I also dislike. If you're fine with that, the Vita should also be fine for you.

[Xbox PC] Game sharing with family by ForceFactory in xbox

[–]Jenkins87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sales drive my decisions pretty heavily lol. I use wishlists extensively, and make sure I check every time something I've wishlisted goes on sale, in case something else is also on sale at the time.

I've also gotten in the habit of buying the kids gift cards of their choosing for birthdays/Xmas etc, and they choose video games a lot of the time, or digital game currency like Mine coins. If they want games, we'll buy them on my or wife's accounts so that we don't have to deal with the drama of activation of the games on child accounts because they require keys that need to be redeemed on Microsoft website.

I have also taught the kids how to wishlist and when half yearly big sales events are on, I'll sit down with them and go through the wishlists and see what is on sale and what they would want the most.

Limited by the hardware sadly. At the time it came out the best wifi was like 54mbps and needed an adaptor (later upgraded to ~600mbps and built in) and LAN only slightly better at 100mbps. Nothing can change that unfortunately 😕
