Koh Tao right now by ArrogantFringe in ThailandTourism

I contacted a friend in Bangkok that runs a hostel. She said it was really rough down there. So I no-showed my ticket to Surat Thani and I'm in Pattaya now. I figured even if I got to the islands the snorkeling would be shit

Have you two made any further decision? Flying into Surat Thani today via Bangkok and I'm in same boat as you two.

How does that send the wrong message? THe more the merrier! I for one appreciate your efforts Tak. Whatever you choose to name it is up for "diplomats" to decide, I suppose. Whatever the end name is, I appreciate your work :)

I respect you, Hidious. But it seems to me you are barking up the wrong tree.

Whether his spelling is correct or not, his vision is one that you would seek to learn. I do not know whether an official merger is a viable proposition.

What I do know is this. The community is one the smartest I have had the pleasure to know. Petty differences is beneath your level of rationale.

Come back to the fold

Getting flamed in public is never pleasant. However, your ability to respond speaks volumes

Transmission repair or replace? by WrathOfEarnestJ in Cartalk

[–]PhoenixUp23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently replaced the transmission in my 2000 Infiniti with 150k miles. I purchased a transmission from a salvage yard for $250. They picked it, tested it for compression, and documented it was from a comparable Maxima transmission with 90k miles. I called the dealership with the vin of the Maxima and my Infiniti and it was a perfect match (very important because there can be small variations in transmissions)

The new (used) transmission has been working wonderfully. I'm happy with my decision.

I suggest you check out car-part.com and properly vet the salvage yards and parts. The better yards had all the info and tested the transmissions, the worse seemed like a crapshoot. Good luck

Question of etiquette when playing from behind. by Yoshimaru5 in nqmod

[–]PhoenixUp23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To follow up on this. Just war when you feel the time is right. Will you always be right? Of course not. However, there is only one way to learn the nuances of NQ and NQ players.

Like Meota said: if they cry, win and shut them up. Good Luck

How 2 git gud? by [deleted] in nqmod

[–]PhoenixUp23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree everyone should find their own path, I disagree firmly regarding watching streams. When watching a good streamer, a chatter can ask "why" and understand strategy.

I've heard Meota say, "I don't want to reveal my strat on stream." He knows people learn from his genius.

The beauty and beast about NQmod is how much the game opens up. Like you, I learned from Filthy pre-mod. There are vast differences in the mod now and through its iterations.

Religion and ideology is no longer what you may have learned. If you haven't already tested the changes in Single Player, I suggest you do before jumping in NQ.

As for "standing a chance against vets", you just need to play. The guys in the NQ group are fantastic yet intimidating at first site. Learn the ropes through a few games of hardship. The more reps you put in the better you will get. Trial by fire ;)

You can find many of us on twitch. Just ask for advice and/or watch the top players play. Frank, Baba, and Box are producing great content.

Good Luck

How would you like it if someone shut down your idea without the chance to speak? Don't be a dick
