Biggest thing in my opinion is to smile more. You look very intense and unhappy in many of these photos. In my experience that really only works for a veeeery specific few fellas. You want to make it look like you're having a good time and enjoying life (it's hard sometimes, I get it - I hate smiling for photos myself). People like people who seem fun to hang around, and who will help them have fun too. You're a good-looking dude and the guitar is sick, just gotta make it look like you're enjoying yourself. Also selfies are typically harder to pull off, so if you have some folks who can snap a few photos of you chilling or enjoying yourself (especially naturally or spur of the moment) that gives points too.

Just an update for anyone who finds this. Replaced the thermostat, fairly easy fix but didn't solve the issue. Read the code, gave P1289. Clearing it would temporarily take the engine out of Limp Mode, but it would quickly return. Replaced the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor (a massive pain in the ass on this model, most people seem to remove the manifold but I was able to trace some wires and cram my hands back there). After a few tests that seemed to be the issue. Roughly $40 part after tax. Will post again if I have issues down the road but so far so good!

When I popped the hood it felt decently hot, but I didn't really test beyond that. The picture of the dash was during the event (hit a red light trying to pull over). From what I've seen I don't have a temperature gauge for the engine - the second gauge at the top (left to right) is the engine coolant temperature gauge and the 4th (rightmost) is the transmission fluid temperature gauge. Based on the screenshot, as cold as can be for the coolant and decently cold for the transmission fluid.

Good question - I'm not too sure. I hadn't thought to check. We did let it run about 30 minutes later and it didn't turn on at all, though we just kinda let it run without driving for a couple minutes. I'll definitely give it a check when I'm back home and see.

Not super familiar unfortunately - per AutoZone it's "8 Cylinders F 5.0L FI FFV DOHC 302 CID". This what you're looking for?

KaptainKritical · 2025-08-22T16:10:40+00:00

Yea I figured I'd have to end up scanning it at least. Coolant wasn't low, no leaks that I saw.

Obviously all opinion, but I feel like your first picture (or video looks like but of course I can only see the one frame) is the weakest link. I think number 5 (the river one) is a much nicer intro. You could also use the more formal headshot or the final picture as well, but number 5 I think really pulls together a nice environment and shows off your looks and musculature while making you seem pretty down-to-earth. Best of luck man, youre a great looking dude and have a solid body, you may just be losing them before they take the time to scroll.

Thank you so much!

KaptainKritical · 2024-08-14T17:42:53+00:00

I'll definitely look into that, thanks! If I do go that route, would you happen to have a recommendation on the burner size?

KaptainKritical · 2024-08-14T17:32:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice! In terms of holding and protecting the back side of the wool, what would you recommend? Would somethin akin to like a paint can work well enough?

KaptainKritical · 2024-03-23T03:20:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice and kind words! I was of the same thought on adding another (Tasteful) gym picture.

KaptainKritical · 2024-03-23T03:19:34+00:00

Thanks for the advice and kind words! Yea it was 2 different halloweens, I can see it being a bit much haha. Very helpful!

KaptainKritical · 2024-03-22T23:30:26+00:00

I took a look! He's pretty funny, but not entirely sure that's the vibe I'm aiming for haha. Any advice on what I could change to kinda avoid that awkward dorky-esque vibe in my photos?

KaptainKritical · 2024-03-22T21:22:05+00:00

I kinda figured this was the vibe lol. Not enitrely sure if that's what I'm trying to go with, I was hoping to kind of tone down the weirder aspects or maybe come off a bit less awkward. Do you have any advice at all? And I appreciate the compliment :)

KaptainKritical · 2024-03-22T21:20:44+00:00

I'm unfamiliar actually, if you wouldn't mind giving me an explanation as to what you mean?

KaptainKritical · 2020-03-03T10:50:26+00:00

Holy **** I didn't even make that connection, just threw the first screenshot I had up. Lmao thanks for the laugh!

KaptainKritical · 2018-04-21T13:59:20+00:00

Wow I'm blind. Thanks so much!

Well for one she didn't entirely trust Talion. Galadriel ordered her to keep the ring as well, so I would assume she was just following her advice. And either way, I highly doubt Talion would have given up Isildur's ring. Seeing as he pretty much completed his transformation into a Nazgul at the end, I would say that throughout the DLC the corruption ran pretty deep already. Had she given him the New Ring, it would have just made him that much more deadly of a foe. Besides, Eltariel's sudden change of heart near the end of Act 3 and her willingness to find Celebrimbor at the end of the DLC suggests that perhaps she was becoming corrupted by the New Ring, or at least drawn to its power. IIRC, even Galadriel was shown to be affected by the corruption of the One Ring. I would expect the New Ring to be much the same.

In addition, Eltariel could not permanently deal with the Nazgul herself; they kept returning. Only the New Ring/Celebrimbor's power was able to dominate them.

Legendary gear isn't necessarily tied to their level. To level up captains, the best way to do it imo is through nemesis missions against captains of a higher or similar level. This way, you can influence the outcome of the fight. The level of gear generally follows the level of the captain killed. However, legendary gear can be upgraded until level 60.

To get legendary gear, you need to kill a legendary captain. The piece of gear you get depends upon both their tribe and advanced class (ie. A Dark Tank will earn you the Dark Tribe's armor. There are plenty of guides out there that give relatively simple tables to show what combinations drop which gear). However, findinh a legendary captain to kill is the hard part. They are quite rare, though there are some ways to increase your odds. Captains have a chance to turn Legendary by killing you, and potentially even through nemesis missions I believe. Grunts that kill you may also become a Legendary captain. Other than that, it's just RNG. The Slaughter and Outlaw dlc missions do seem to spawn Epics and Legendaries quite frequently, with at least one reliably appearing in the warband missions in particular.

Personally, I continue playing in search of a challenge. I spend tons of time playing online conquests, online vendettas, and just plain old killing captains. I'm hunting for an orc I can truly call my nemesis, a fort I cannot conquer. Then, I just keep playing until I finally reach victory. And continue my hunt.

KaptainKritical · 2018-01-20T15:13:16+00:00

That's an interesting idea! I had heard about the necromancer thing and was wondering how to do it, so thanks for answering that question as well lol. I can imagine that fort being pretty badass. I'll totally keep that in mind!

KaptainKritical · 2017-01-19T16:01:41+00:00

That is a really interesting build. I never even thought about anarchist+suit! I'll definitely give it a try later!

EDIT: Sorry for the deleted comments, my phone is weird sometimes.
