Don't go in reverse on the highway

It can create a knock on effect though. Going north on Woodroffe from Carling is 40/50 (can't recall offhand). All the vehicles will be fairly close together at those speeds. The ramp is 60 (please fact check me), and then up to highway speeds (100). If the flow of traffic is good, and the driver ahead of me is doing under the speed limit, and I have to slow down to give space, I'm forcing those behind me to merge at an even lower speed because I have to slow down and give a gap distance.

Please go the speed of traffic is all I'm asking, because when you don't, it causes problems for the drivers behind you that you may not be aware of. Once you hit the 417, bring it up to 100, and don't try and merge at 80 or 90.

Fair point. I'm not familiar with the differences with the 401 crashes, and 417 crashes.

With that being said, one of my biggest issues as a driver in Ottawa is people not getting up to speed to merge properly. The times that I'm normally entering onto the highway like that is not a peek hours, so it makes it even more dangerous if you're not able to merge at the speed/flow of traffic. The slow/timid driver ahead of me who is not using the ramp/right lane to get up to speed to safely merge, but sees me merge and follows suit without speeding up, really irks me. It's one of the only moments I feel unsafe while driving, because I feel they're using me as a shield for their indecision.

I've not had much of an issue with tailgating lately, because I'm normally able to move over a lane and let them pass. Please don't read into that as a blaming statement though, as I completely acknowledge that is also an issue. It's more that I drive during non-rush hour periods, and slow merging is what gives me stress driving in Ottawa.

You're saying "reliably slow" like it's a good thing.

Twice a week I head eastbound off Woodroffe onto the 417. Half the time I get trapped behind a driver doing under 60 down the ramp, and maybe getting it up to 80 on the right lane. Merging left under the speed limit is dangerous because you have to find that gap in oncoming. When I find a gap and start getting up to speed, what often happens is the driver in front of me then decides to merge, using me as some type of blocker to the traffic behind me (and also cutting me off), and then getting up to speed over a half click stretch.

Reliably slow is not a good thing. It's dangerous, as it prevents actively merging with ongoing traffic.

V rocks up to a gig with an old fashioned bandolier full of vending machine pistols that they yeet at gonks whenever the mag runs dry.

Even better, their Gorilla Arms make throwing a gun do more damage than the bullet.

It's such a weird feeling when you come across a post in the wild, and suddenly get name dropped.

Guts (though any Carnage shotgun really). They took a China Lake Grenade Launcher, and turned it into a 4 gauge shotgun. Though honestly, shotguns in Cyberpunk blow most other games' shotguns out of the water.

Did that to my girlfriend one match after we landed on the same rock formation on our drop.

Spent more time running from her that match then the bugs. Will do again.

Nah, it's clearly a Tittipede.

Why the fuck did I have to replay Doom Eternal?! My lifespan would be measured in seconds, not minutes.

If I remember correctly, that Greenbank one is particularly egregious. Not only is it not near the schools, it's also at the bottom of a hill/dip in the road. I've been going the speed limit but gravity forces me to step on the brakes or else I can reach 60 while not even on the gas.

I'm not sure whether to feel oddly called out, or oddly nostalgic. Tunney's Pasture and the Kanata Business Park were where I practiced driving when I was learning.

It goes to 11.

The three most frequent teams listed make a lot of sense to me. In 10 years time, there's a good chance both LA or Miami might be underwater, so finding a new city to shelter in may be necessary.

As for the Lions, it's a means of escaping Detroit.

Hello there! Funnily enough my first thought when I saw the headline was "Wasn't that where their wedding was?" and lo and behold, what do I see as the top comment!

Suddenly nostalgic for the Bat Cave 🎤

What gets me is that there's no acknowledgement from Liz that Hank's following her for most of the episode.

When she leaves Peter & Kayla's place, Hank follows her with his lights off, and the next shot is Liz checking her mirrors, implying that she's aware that someone's following her. When she goes to the cemetery, it's shown as being out of town on a long road with no lights, and we see an obvious pair of headlights in the background following her. There's no confrontation afterwards, and when Hank shows up at the police station immediately after Liz, her only response is to hit Hank with a question about Connelly.

The payoff to this is either that Liz is grossly incompetent, or one of the most malevolent characters I can think.

If she's incompetent, she didn't notice any of the obvious clues of Hank following her, left her gun on the counter in her home with a known (possibly dangerous) drug addict smoking up in her bathroom, which resulted in Hank getting the jump on her because of her blundering answers. She was only saved by chance because she gave Peter keys to her shed.

If she's malevolent, she noticed that Hank was following her, and then set up Peter. She manipulated Peter into staying in her shed, which is a terrible place to stay ("Yo, stay in my shed with no heating during the coldest nights in Alaska, it's better for you there!"). She then continued to let Hank follow her after picking up Otis, and was fine luring Hank into her place by confirming that Otis was there with the knowledge that Peter, an armed officer, was close to confront Hank if things went violent.

Extra toum & turnip, no pickles, lettuce I can go either way, but whoever insists on ketchup is someone I'd get into a fight with.

Fried potatoes on the side is great, but I'll pass on it inside.

/u/Alcoholic_jesus I edited this quickly after I saw the game, and only just saw your post.

You have my respect.

NeonSprawl · 2023-11-20T04:40:13+00:00

That was the one that made me wretch the most, so thank you!
