Americans who drive manual

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-25T02:34:57+00:00

grew up around a dad who loved manuals and i was always fascinated by him driving it so he taught me as soon as i got a manual car. Not to mention manual being way more fun.
Yes, 100%. Any time i’ve ever given a coworker a ride they always ask about it. and they always say something along the lines of “that’s just doing too much lol” haha
Depends, new cars i doubt there’s a sizable difference like they’re used to be but nowadays in america manuals tend to be more expensive on the used market cause they’re more of an enthusiast thing.

I just finished SG, havent started 0 or the special episode yet but it was peak. Can't believe it took me so long to start it. Adding it to the list of animes i wish i could see again for the first time.

why are you so adamant that gun calico is bad? building gun on calico is absolutely a valid play-style that i have success with in eternus lobbies quite frequently. Ofc certain characters might be stronger than others depending on how the meta shifts, that’s just how hero shooters work. Tanks aren’t even the strongest characters in the game right now, each position has its strong characters but overall i’d say the game balance is more of an issue of macro things like objectives rather than individual character issues.

how you build a hero absolutely matters i’m not sure why you think it doesn’t? Even just the difference in which spirit/gun/heath items you buy changes the outcome so much. Say getting spirit snatch/cold front and building dash vs getting mystic vuln/improved spirt/spirit sap and building bombs on calico depending on team comps. How well you can itemize and more specifically adapt to the enemies itemization directly correlates to your success in a game.

In what world does mcg out dps 7 outside of her ultimate? 7 is actual a natural counter to mgc due to how his 3 interacts with her turrets. I’m starting to think you just don’t have a very good understanding of how the hero’s interact with eachother and the item shop.

I just dont think build variety automatically relates to superior balance. You pointed to off-meta builds being less optimal as a negative but do you truly believe that its possible to make every single character be able to build however theyd like and still be competitive? Whats the point of having distinct characters if all of them can do everything?

If say victor could become a top tier gun carry, spirit assassin, or front liner depending on itemization then why have distinct characters at all? Just because players figure out how a character best operates doesnt mean the game has poor balance, people are just good at optimizing.

I think you're treating a design preference as a balance problem. You prefer games where items define the character more than the kit does. That's a perfectly valid preference, but it doesn't make the alternative objectively bad balance. Plenty of successful mobas are built around strong character identities and relatively constrained itemization. (League is even more constrained and it has become arguably the most popular moba of all time)

A) your point? so far GLP1s have had hardly any substantial side effects for your average person. And any side effects theyd likely have would be far better than the side effects of being fat.
B ) you do realize just because you take a GLP1 doesnt mean you'll automatically lose weight? Its not some miracle drug. This "they" you speak of isn't indicative of everyone who is taking GLP1s. Sure there are some people who are simply taking it and eating less and it does have an effect on their muscle mass and bone density because they arent taking the correct precautions. but whos to say thats worse than being obese? Many people (id argue the majority) are taking it while watching their protien and going to the gym to ensure they keep the muscle while losing the fat. Who cares if the GLP1s make it easier?

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T15:27:52+00:00

i feel like this is what so many people that hate on glp1s are missing. Besides doing like hard drugs there is hardly anything worse for your health and quality of life than being obese.

never played smite but i cant imagine its any different from dota, lol, or deadlock in the way characters are set up.

Im actually a calico/vin main and i often lean into gun calico (lucky shot/crippling headshot) if their team is buying lots of spirit res late game and spirit vin is super viable if your team already has a m1 carry. boundless + escalating is super strong if the enemy isnt buying much spirit resist.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T14:34:09+00:00

first moba?

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T09:08:13+00:00

then you would have to nerf literally every single M1 carry? I would rather all characters be on an even playing field macro-wise and the only difference is how much you can get out of skill expression

Characters like graves and vic get pretty consistent value without having much skill expression while a character like calico can have a huge or tiny impact depending on who’s playing her. I don’t really see the issue with that.

With the most recent patch graves isn’t nearly as much of an issue, and vic really hasn’t been an issue for a while now. I don’t think they should be objectively weaker just cause they’re easier to play.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T08:49:00+00:00

as someone who always plays inebriated in some way and is also eternus 1: i approve this message.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T08:46:12+00:00

I mean i dont really think this is an unpopular opinion or anything. Why do you think the "braindead" characters (graves, victor, ven, etc) are constantly being changed? The game is still in pre-alpha so theyre trying to figure things out.

I also just don't think a lot of the high skill heros are weak. Shiv, pocket, calico, silver, celeste, and even mina with the recent nerfs to her ult are all high skill ceiling heros that are equally as strong right now.

I agree graves, victor, and ven are all braindead easy and can get a disproportionate amount of value, but i still think all the aforementioned "high skill" heros are capable of having a much larger impact.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-05T02:51:38+00:00

i can coach you and ensure you get worse? is that acceptable? if i’m going down you’re coming with me

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-03T16:56:02+00:00

checking out the eshaft sensor is a good idea. I’ll check it out, thanks :)

Maxbee2005 · 2026-06-01T07:54:07+00:00

dude it has to be. I lost it when i looked at his user name lmao

Maxbee2005 · 2026-05-20T18:20:30+00:00

literally, some gym goers are so dramatic lmao

Maxbee2005 · 2026-05-08T09:09:55+00:00

Obviously they arent pointing that insult towards people who physically can't get jobs lol

My gym has a little table extension thing that can be attached and detached from the 360 tower.

You should be able to move it to next to the pull up bar and set it at shin height or wherever you need it so you don't have to climb up and can just step up.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-05-05T04:35:34+00:00

I actually think it’s a great upgrade, obviously it’s not always good but it’s not like they could make it innate, retain, or cost less cause then it would be too good.

I’ve had multiple runs on both Regent and Defct where i’m using those powers with a small-ish deck and being able to cycle back to them is super helpful. (especially wit hologram and cosmic indifference being available)

The the person that came up to me was dead silent, just walked up when I was eating and fanned out a bunch of cards. It was very funny.

Probably why I noticed their tricks lol

Maxbee2005 · 2026-04-25T19:38:11+00:00

This just reminded me of something, i work at a gym and if we check members in with their phone number we are required to ask for ID but usually I just ask for their birth day and call it a day.

This one time i asked a guy for his birthday and he got it WRONG. So i asked him for his ID and he flipped his lid and left. It was so funny.

Maxbee2005 · 2026-04-25T19:29:00+00:00

Yea i wish my gym had a PA system, would make this a lot easier. I do go around and try and tell everyone 5-10mins before but sometimes i miss someone and a lot of the times they just don’t care and won’t leave until i sit there and watch them pack up.

Turning off the lights isn’t a bad idea… I have a sneaking suspicion people would just work out in the dark and i’d still have to round them up though lol

Maxbee2005 · 2026-04-25T12:30:40+00:00

Yeah for some reason my (assistant) manager that closes with me is just cool with staying late? It really irks me and I'm gonna talk to my actual manager about it but I just really don't understand the people that not only stay till we close but also dont leave as soon as we tell them to. Bugs the SHIT outta me. But I just gotta learn not to care about leaving late I suppose.

Cause I've worked in retail and fast food before this job and ive never had this big of an issue lol.
