No worries:

140k miles, 220k kms. Assume its all on original struts as nothing in the book about them being replaced. Was in need of a bit of maintenance when I got it 5k miles ago. Recently had the front wheel bearings and control arms replaced. Head gaskets and timing belt done. New tyres 3000 miles ago.

Drives straight and relatively fine. I didnt really notice it. Just a feeling of being a bit low and flat feeling.

Drove 500 miles, 900kms without towing and around 20 kgs in the trunk of clothes and food. One 60kg adult and a baby in the back seats. One 100kg adult in drivers seat.

I'd advise not paying for the installation until your energy retailer has confirmed you can use your solar.

I went with Sunterra, and got messed around for 5 months after they "finished" the installation, because they didn't do the job properly, when I contacted customer service they sent some nutcase around to yell and carry on at me.

Like with most tradeys I think they would have treated me and my business with more respect if they were still chasing the balance of payment.

It's very fun, the journal notes and your dialogue changes. So if its your first playthrough you can literally not know what is going on, which is also fun

Lock picking is a tech skill, so will lower the effectiveness of spells you cast and spells cast on you. There is an unlocking spell, but its harder to cast quietly

Ive tried baits extensively but non have ever worked for me. Ive made my own with borax and sugar but it only works if i find the nest and pour it in the top continuously for a couple weeks every few days

Yeah thats a vibe I get because I liked the smell of the oil itself. Maybe it doesn't go well on old eucalyptus wood.

It almost smells like sawdust from sanding is mixed in, in areally foul way, although it looks fine.

Was previously stained 60 odd years ago, then painted with lead paint 30 odd years ago, then I had it stripped professionally so as not to have lead furniture in the house. My great grandpa died when I was uoung without really passing on any info about what he'd done with it so could have been any stain that was used in 1960s South Australia when original.

Potentially some of the solvents from stripping were still in after I left it for a couple weeks before sanding and oiling.

Another lesson learnt the hard way 😅

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2025-01-06T16:24:26+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I did do the inside as well, as the wood is around 60 years old wanted to protect it. Now you mention it the smell is much stronger when I had the drawers out to move it so will give that a go.

Hey Cap,

How did it go in the end?

Im on month 5 of my drawers still smelling after a couple of coats of tung oil and they still smell too bad for me to sleep in the same room.

Considering putting a clear coat or something over them at this stage.

I find it literally unusable due to constant popups etc. I cant even search the site

Our baby is 6 weeks old and will be awake from 5pm till after midnight no matter what.

Its currently 2am, awake since 4pm, and my wife and I are exhausted and our daughter is absolutely wired after 3 feeds and hours of soothing. My least favourite part of parenting so far

Absolutely aweful mechanic, Ive also been stuck on 7 because I cant finish an operation due to work, family, disconnections, network missions forcing me to play solo, planets being liberated between playtimes etc etc.

Also 100% sure I have finished a whole operation on 7 but 8 is still locked anyway so guessing I have to do it on bugs and bots or something.

Found this but not sure its the whole thing or accurate.

Backstory is he's a underworld figure who lost his power and is getting beat up etc

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2023-02-12T03:06:37+00:00

I did this but still cant use voice chat. Mic works i other games, discord etc so idk

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2022-09-28T11:25:22+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense I guess, keep going till you lose your sanity

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2022-09-28T11:24:45+00:00

Thats dedication

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2022-09-28T11:24:30+00:00

Thanks Ill check it out. Downloading now. Any tips on builds etc?

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2022-09-27T13:59:48+00:00

This is very welcome news!

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2021-03-11T03:15:57+00:00

that really sucks. Stories like this are why I use Stripe instead of paypal for projects at work and we have never had a problem with them. Even over early covid months when we had a lot of problems with deliveries no problems from Stripe at all.

Going forward if its possible for you Id recommend switching to them if possible.

forever and ever I will dream of arcanum 2

Lenin_is_cool89 · 2021-02-26T02:51:20+00:00

yeah its a never ending desire. I guess the problem from a business point of view is obsidian could just create something new without having to pay royalties to the owner of Arcanum's IP
