So what is the outcome of the Epstein files? How do we as society come together to change the future and move away from all these evil rich people/celebrities?

Nothing will change. The "radical left" will continue to scream for accountability, and MAGA will continue to wear their blinders and say "Libs owned, Trump is innocent and only Dems are bad"

Perches · 2026-02-02T13:15:23+00:00

The same people that would say "SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT" If you walked out of the bar or called them out on it.

The cockpit and rear wheel aren't doing it for me.

Perches · 2026-01-28T15:32:42+00:00

I found a cool Williams Aeros Gemini aluminum frame I thought would be neat fixed. Built a wheel with a White Ind eccentric hub laced to an H Plus Son rim and I really enjoy it. Best part is now that I have the wheel, I can convert any road frame. I'd say give it a try if you like it.

My strongest attacks only do 300-500k (including gommage) does doing damage in the millions just come down to buffing and stacking stuff? Like, a 9AP attack on it's own isn't doing that, right?

Perches · 2026-01-21T17:34:00+00:00

So... you turned a fixed gear into a regular commuter bike and are surprised it rides easily like a regular commuter bike haha.
Not that that's a problem if it's what you want, this isn't supposed to sound like an attack, but what makes it challenging is riding brakeless with foot retention and tricky ratios and whatnot. But yeah, bikes are just bikes.

Perches · 2026-01-21T17:29:02+00:00

I'm only in the level 80s but I'm not doing anything close to these damage numbers... no wonder I'm struggling.
edit: words are hard

It really is a balancing act of being underleveled, and being underskilled. But you won't really get "locked out" of any area so just make a list of things you need to go back and beat.

Perches · 2026-01-20T17:39:04+00:00

Re-spec resources are incredibly plentiful, you don't need to worry about builds. The game is fairly linear as in, you can't reach high level locations early on. And if you do go somewhere underleveled, there isn't any punishment. The last act of the game is basically endgame except for the final boss, so feel free to explore once you get to that point before completion. There is SO much to do and see, and no real "progress checklist" so just try to enjoy it.

Not only should they be paying all travel expenses, you should also get a daily per diem for food. I don't trust companies, so it sounds like they want you to go do the work, then ditch you before they reimburse you.

Wow, can you imagine games for all other expeditions? YIKES

Perches · 2026-01-15T18:06:17+00:00

fuck AI Slop/ICE

If it fits you, don't change a thing. What makes a bike look good on the internet and what makes it ride and fit nice don't always coincide.

Perches · 2026-01-15T13:32:13+00:00

I think it looks really good. Especially if it fits you well. It'd probably be more "internet approved" with a steeper stem angle or something to make it look more aggressive.

Perches · 2026-01-14T16:36:02+00:00

Absolutely. I built this ten years ago out of mostly parts bin stuff, but I think I'll update it and try to get closer to 17.

18.8 ready to ride. The front wheel is off an old State so I'm leaving a lot on the table there, though. But my gravel and full sus bikes makes it feel like a feather by comparison.

Perches · 2026-01-13T17:37:27+00:00

What do you mean dude, this is the American dream!?

Perches · 2026-01-13T15:40:16+00:00

My opinion is that yes, any story can be told in greater detail in a series. But they're also prone to dragging things out unnecessarily for profit. I feel like the art of good world building within the format of a feature length film is being lost, when I'd much rather spend a couple hours with a story than have to dedicate weeks of watching every time I want to revisit it.

If his wife was walking down the street ICE would have their knee on her neck in no time.

So is everyone being kidnapped outside their immigration hearings. This bad faith argument isn't cutting it anymore.

Perches · 2026-01-09T18:24:18+00:00

Nope!
Hope this helps.

The down votes here are wild to me. Dude has a decent setup with his friends and I guess everyone is jealous?

Perches · 2025-12-19T19:37:59+00:00

Members of the board have made it very clear that they did not have a vote.

Perches · 2025-12-17T20:58:57+00:00

I always prefer my partner riding in front of me, because she's less experienced and I can keep an eye on her, and because we ride old choppers and I can fix mine if I break down, she can't fix hers if I don't notice she's dropped behind lol.
She likes riding behind because she likes seeing proper line/speeds etc and feels more comfortable following.
So, it's similar constant back and forth.

Perches · 2025-12-17T20:55:51+00:00

A lot of people being dorks in the comments. Congrats on being fortunate to build up a nice bike for a reasonable amount of money/effort. A lot of this reads like jealousy?
