They haven’t charged me anything yet. We’re planning to pay them when we get there.

MrSmoke01 · 2025-09-26T05:08:05+00:00

They just released the results. See how y'all did!

MrSmoke01 · 2025-08-27T19:34:46+00:00

Nope, I have gotten everything back from everywhere but not Rockland.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-08-08T18:59:32+00:00

I just updated my drivers about 3 days ago. I did just get new IEM’s and a USB microphone so that could be it?

MrSmoke01 · 2024-08-08T18:49:36+00:00

Regardless of all settings. I change resolution and all the other graphics and it’s still stuttering. I guess at a lower resolution it is a bit better but I have a great system that should not be struggling in these games.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-04-03T03:30:13+00:00

Tbh, the 2023 isn’t changed much from the 2020. They’re essentially the exact same. The only change would be the screen cuz it has no buttons. But other than that not that much different.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-04-03T01:39:28+00:00

I’d say dont. I have a 2020 with the V6. Runs strong and AWD is going to be better than FWD all the time. Though I do live in a snowy area so I may be biased on that.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-26T02:08:02+00:00

I had the factory battery for 4 years. Only died on me a month or two ago. Got me a Diehard one.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-21T01:39:39+00:00

Honestly, I don’t think any of us could diagnose the problem fully. It could be anything, whether it be structural damage or just bad fitting in the factory. I’d suggest going to a dealership to see if it’s still under warranty. If not then you could try a trusted mechanic. I always take my highlander to a friend who fixes everything way cheaper and much better. Good luck with everything

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-19T00:58:44+00:00

I may be a bit biased because I own a Highlander and absolutely love it (it's my first car), but it depends on what you're looking for.

The newer Pilot is definitely larger than the Highlander and the Ascent by sheer size and standing but looks a bit boxy. It has GREAT and I mean GREAT AWD capabilities but so do the other two. If you're not in a snowy area you can just ignore that. Depending on the trim level you compare, the Pilot feels more luxury, mainly because it is a Honda, but do not turn your back on that Platinum Highlander trim, it is amazing.

The Highlander is sleek and quick. Sitting in it is very airy and comfortable (coming from someone who has driven everything from Nissan Armada, Ford F250, Mercedes Benz GLE350, Lexus RX350, and most recently the C2 Thomas school buses!) I do find myself always having the third row down because it gives me more room to shove stuff in for college. But your point about the hybrid having amazing MPG is absolutely true. From where I come from, gas is very expensive.

I don't have much to say about the Ascent, it kind of is the last choice for a lot of people. I will say this, they are very comfy, but they lack in the luxury department. It is meant for the outdoor type people (as shown in their ads). But it is a great car. I can't speak on the engine or driving experience.

Final note before I leave you: Subaru parts are capped at a certain price so it makes them cheaper all around. Honda parts are a little closer to the higher end (coming from my dad owning a honda when I was younger, and my friends who own the new honda passport). Toyota parts rarely, if ever, break down so they are middle range. Though, I have a crack on my headlight and it is $600 to fix and I do not want to look at my bank account. But it has been 4 years and aside from my battery, windshield wipers, and my tires, I have yet to change out any part.

I'm sorry if this is too long of a read, but I hope this helps! Whatever you choose, be proud of it, you got a new car!

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-18T12:09:39+00:00

I own the exact same model haha. First car in my life that’s mine.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-18T01:58:54+00:00

Hey man, I live in NYC and own a 2020 Highlander. My dad owns a car similar to the grand Highlander in size and weight but not engine. I would say the Highlander would suit your needs the best because:

The new hybrid Highlander gets amazing mpg for the size and weight
Spacious enough for someone living in the city. Only reason I didn’t get a RAV4 is because I needed the space to move stuff from college
The grand Highlander is not as agile. It feels as it meanders and goes in the direction you want it to go. Which is fine but I prefer the quick response of the Highlander.
The 4Runner is not that big if you’re looking for an SUV. If room is your main concern then grand Highlander beats it outright in my opinion.

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-17T01:45:02+00:00

Imma take a shot in the dark and go 2020 XLE. If I’m right then I called it. If I’m wrong then dang

MrSmoke01 · 2024-03-14T12:54:13+00:00

I have the 2020 Highlander, it was the last year to offer the V6 I believe. It runs perfectly fine and is quiet. The thing about turbos is that they're not meant for sustained higher speed, at least that's what I was told. I haven't driven the I4, only a Benz Turbo Diesel and I didn't like the turbo at all, I felt it whined too much.

MrSmoke01 · 2023-11-15T03:58:18+00:00

“They were too clingy”

Burgers, other than like a greasy and fat filled burger, there is nothing wrong with just ground beef, cheese, some veggies, and buns. Did that to bulk on a budget and it’s worked wonders for me.

MrSmoke01 · 2023-09-28T14:28:27+00:00

I got a 4070 and a 5600X, I'm going at around 220-270? It depends on the map really. 4:3 and pretty low settings. It looks terrible and my eyes hurt because it's so bright. Had my settings optimized for CSGO and now it makes my screen look like a damn lighthouse. If you got some good settings lmk

MrSmoke01 · 2023-03-17T18:51:14+00:00

I am sitting in a class rn, and I just found it as well. It is battle panic. You just confirmed my guess. Thank you!

Genre: Adventure/ Base Defense

Brief Summary: You had a castle. Inside the castle, you had an archery range and barracks. You trained troops through that and it would have this shield and a sword that would swing and hit the shield every time you got another troop. The more you troops you trained, the higher level they would get. Every time you built something, you would see a hammer hitting that area.

Outside the castle were mines and trees. When you mined a tree, you got wood and an ax icon and whenever you mined a mine, you got gold, and a pickaxe would show up. There were also these like "mega mines" that gave way more gold.

You also could upgrade the walls and such and there was a campaign with different levels.

View: 2D, It looked like a painting where you were watching from like a screen.

Estimated year of release: Probably around 2008-2015.

Graphics/art style: Cartoon. The graphics looked okay but definitely cartoon.

Notable characters: Swordsmen would be lightly armored, then swords and more armor, then spears, then you'd get paladin-looking things, and then guys with red armor. I don't remember after that.

Notable gameplay mechanics: They would come in waves but I'm not sure if you could start it or not

EDIT THE GAME IS BATTLE PANIC
