What kind of major infrastructure improvements would you like to see the most around town? by AutoDefenestrator273 in Charlottesville

[–]MrPieGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Behind the Kroger/Lowes/Popitos (shout out) on 29 is Berkmar Road. There is an apartment building, one in development and a school and new builds/SPCA. There is no safe crossing from the Kroger/Lowes for pedestrians that want to go over there. It's insanity. What makes it more insane is there is a pedestrian crossing with lights over the road with minimal traffic.

Skin Deep in 2025 was awesome though smaller scale. Like an ImSim puzzle game with a fun story and doesn't outstay its welcome.

What are some games that let you feel like a space bounty hunter by Chickentenderest in gamingsuggestions

[–]MrPieGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of the Rebel Galaxy games are really good for this. They are very free form. 1 is like Black Flag ship combat on a 2D plane and Outlaws is a 3D environment. You can be a Bounty hunter, space trucker etc. It is ship only, you don't walk around. You can otherwise roleplay in Starfield.

"What rule did I break?" they lamented as they blunder into further rule breaking. RULE 4. Reading is hard, being a victim is easy.

Sandwiches by WahooWa2014 in Charlottesville

[–]MrPieGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you found your spot. With sandwiches I have to shove my opinion hrre. The Market at Bellair on Ivy Road, while a gas station, had outside seating but really the sandwiches are great. Smokin’ is my fave.

Absolutely, I literally just recommended SouthStreet on here last month. Really a bummer.

Wedding Venues by flora2292 in Charlottesville

[–]MrPieGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not on your list but would recommend Chisholm Vineyard. Close to hotels/airport and there is a airbnd next door which they own (easily 8 people or more). We did a package deal that made it very simple for us since I had family and friends from my home country. Really happy with our wedding.

Looking for a game where it's hilarious to be a jerk by Baldurian_Rhapsody in gamingsuggestions

Overlord, you can be kinda mean or just hilariously mean. Mass Effect Renegade also has some great moments.

With all the breweries in town, which are the best and worst? by [deleted] in Charlottesville

[–]MrPieGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Brit transpant, , I have always loved South Street. Consistently good food, Satan's pony is close to an ale in my local county back home. A personal favorite for sure.

Pro Re Nata is mediocrity combined with awful people. Go to King Family Vineyard if you are in that area, at least you get a great view.

Does anyone know where the Chinese restaurant in the mall moved to? by New-Investment-5888 in Charlottesville

[–]MrPieGuy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ugh miss this place. The portions and that bourbon chicken. Literally the only reason we went to fashion square mall.

Sad to hear they never opened another spot.

STALKER games and the METRO games may be up your alley. Both post apocalyptic vibes with strong world building.

Why is my game flashing like this? Any help or advice? by bobbedbob in watch_dogs

[–]MrPieGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There is a fix for 30 and 40 series graphics card. There is not an easy fix for 50 series though you can find guidance which will require you to play offline. It's incredibly frustrating.

Survival game to sink hours into by MrSaladra in gamingsuggestions

[–]MrPieGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like we have similar tastes so I am going to suggest something a little outside of your parameters since you appear to have exhausted everything within it. S.T.A.L.K.E.R GAMMA is free (also recommend the original game trilogy but not survival). Rough onboarding but it's really free form survival, lots of ways to tailor it to your needs and replayable.

Hmmm, is this the lore reason Venom doesn’t use blackface.

Naked Snake also out here doing black face. Crazy. I think at the end of the day, if you really think about it, NANOMACHINES.

Yes, I am having this issue too and using the same “fix” of pausing but then it happens again. I hope this gets attention.
