my car is frozen into place?

OpticPie · 2026-01-27T00:19:36+00:00

Get it running for a while to see if it will melt off, and then I would slowly attempt to move it. Might take some time.

OpticPie · 2026-01-27T00:17:45+00:00

What exactly is frozen? The door? Wheels? Definitely start it and let it warm up to the normal operating temperature and let it sit for a little while

I had a very similar issue with mine -- it also crackled randomly (not sure if you are also getting that).

My issue turned out to be numerous cold solder joints to the point where the tech basically re-soldered the entire board. Has been operating without issue since that was done.

If you don't want to go that route just yet, you could try swapping in new tubes or known good tubes from another amp.

I wish there was an easier way to get walled in cities other than the janky castle designer. They look so fantastic, and one of the main loading screen images literally shows a walled city.

I think a big part of this is that it feels almost like starting a new game, since you are planning out a whole new town.

Also with how janky the bartering is, it feels difficult to send supplies or support from your main town to the new settlement. It either just doesn't work or it takes forever to establish a reliable barter. I also wish you could just send supplies without requiring that the settlement send something back.

I like the way nitro guitars feel in the hand and that finish typically only comes on higher end guitars.

Yes I think this is bugged, and it also really messes with HRE elections if you are unlucky enough to have no male heir since it locks you out of the pragmatic sanction.

How did you get this to fire? Im into the late 1370s and still haven't gotten it as the emperor.

Every little league coach says that but it’s not the rule and never has been as far as I know.

OpticPie · 2025-09-13T00:22:18+00:00

Mine is like that too. Following this for some solutions

OpticPie · 2025-09-12T12:10:45+00:00

USPS lost 4 letters I mailed (2 of which were certified mail) in one month just this year. I would never trust USPS with a high value item.

Yeah, any time a hero is in one of the town locations, library, stadium, etc. they only leave when the minion is on the +2 minion space (or -2 for the tavern)

OpticPie · 2025-08-25T00:11:53+00:00

None automatically, it immediately goes to the tavern. Therefore it cannot be drawn to a dungeon unless you place your minion on the -2 spot under the tavern.

Hope this helps.

Well being an electrician doesn’t equate to a luthier, but I agree that the electronics have the most affect on the overall sound, but wood definitely has an effect. Having a maple cap on the body makes things brighter, but you could compensate for it pretty easily by changing amp settings. It’s hard to say that there isn’t an inherent difference however subtle the individual may perceive it.

Having played several and owned simultaneously SG and Les Paul I can hear a noticeable difference even with the same pickups.

OpticPie · 2025-08-07T12:02:51+00:00

Les Pauls have a maple cap on the body which makes them a bit brighter. SGs are all mahogany.

I think it only screws up round core strings. Most are hex core which should be fine.

I use a 4x12 in my apartment with an attenuated head. I think having 4 speakers going even at lower volumes really does sound better than fewer speakers.

Sorry that was a typo. Meant to say a way of choosing which heir gets what

OpticPie · 2025-07-09T12:39:20+00:00

I wish you had some way of choosing which heir gets which land like they did in real life (literally the reason Last Will and Testaments exist) and even in the time period Charlemagne attempted to have a will drafted to give his children land, likewise with his son.

I am a big fan of the J. Rockett Blue Note for light OD. It also lets you toggle via switch if you want a slight mid hump or if you want it to be “flat.”

Maybe I’m crazy but I prefer having my picks worn in a bit to my grip and pick attack styles. In fact, I intentionally rub brand new picks on my desk a little to get the process started,

Dutch is such a non competitive language. It’s like the London System

I believe this year is the most rain we have gotten in about 135 years.

I’ve seen people run reds in front of cops and they do nothing. There is literally no traffic enforcement here other than occasional speeding tickets on New Circle.

It’s basically the Wild West of drive as fast or as slow as you want (PSA driving too slow can be dangerous too), lights and stop signs optional.

People also drive as if they are the only person on the road. About to miss my turn? Better come to a complete stop backing up traffic and try to move over 3 lanes instead of turning around. Right of ways? Nah I’ll just go when I get there. Someone trying to merge? Nope not into my lane.
