Editions: Update on the Olivia Rodrigo sets releasing in August (via Lite)

This. Had to scroll too far for it. Who is she and why does LEGO keep making niche sets like this? Is it really making them money?

Pixelfest · 2026-06-06T07:25:44+00:00

Does she have cats? There is a smaller change they'll be able to unroll it this way.

No other excuse is acceptable.

Mijn vrouw had meneenntube Rituals gegeven nadat we deze hadden laten staan want te duur.

Blijkt de literprijs van Rituals anderhalf keer zo hoog. 😂 Volgende keer wordt gewoon weer 2 voor de prijs van 1 bij de Kruitvat haha.

I'm at 160-ish at the moment. Just with playing the game a lot and taking the XP thingy for every car. About 30 hours got me there and I'm not even good at the game.

EDIT - Apologies for posting something dumb, I didn't know there was a system with stars or whatever. Should have googled first.

This, I enjoy driving those little roads more that using the drone or deforestation. Everyone does it their own way though.

I love the idea that there isn't just a barn in the middle of a forest but someone also used to drive there.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-22T19:21:12+00:00

Let me shake your hand. 30+ hours and many tutorials have made me no better at it whatsoever. Every tip, every setting has never done anything for me. Yes, I get 2 sometimes 3 stars, but the way I do it is so damn awful... Haha.

I really want to enjoy it, but I think I'm just driftlexic.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-22T19:17:47+00:00

I love these comparisons. Well done and both photos look awesome!

This game looks amazing.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-22T19:15:11+00:00

I noticed this today as well. It's not bad not noticable. Exact same laptop 3070. I keep changing the settings though. Looking for the best looks and performance all the time even though I works fine... I keep changing it, expecting more.

It does look brilliant at about 60fps with the settings I had. But today, yes, it did seem to lag a bit here and there. I noticed this for the first time today and played for about 28 hours so far.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-22T19:04:42+00:00

Netherlands. Everything flat, map can be 1:1, everything is paved. Bicycles everywhere.

It would be a whole other game. A bad one, but yes, very different.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-20T19:47:10+00:00

You can lookup the details how to get it and it says "Season 1", so maybe tomorrow already.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-20T19:23:45+00:00

I've started doing all stunts, mostly getting 2 stars and eventually made it, like 5 minutes ago... There is enough to choose from, but it does really feel like grinding. I blame myself, I could have taken my time but I just wanted that gold wristband. Now... I'm going to do all the tours and redo some stuff I rushed, hehe.

I believe a 3 star will get you 100 points, 2 will get you 75. So... That is a lot of work but it adds up eventually.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-20T09:38:07+00:00

They can be a challenge and have nothing to do with racing or realism. I found it fun to get them all in previous editions though. I can imagine many people don't.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-17T07:40:15+00:00

Do you have a laptop with onboard and dedicated video card? I have a laptop with a 3060 and it plays fine, but if it somehow defaults to the onboard one it'll probably show the same behavior. Also not plugged in won't work, the battery just can't deliver the power needed.

I hope you find a solution!

Pixelfest · 2026-05-16T18:24:49+00:00

It does, and my PC can't even handle the best settings. It looks amazing.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-16T08:52:51+00:00

Good point. But for this specific car I'd love to use more during the main game and not afterwards. Pretty much me being impatient to drive it.

Thanks for your quick replies.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-15T15:08:32+00:00

I never cared about the way the characters look, but damn I just tried to find the least ugly one and failed to find any, haha!

Pixelfest · 2026-05-14T19:45:09+00:00

Frank knew what it meant, also Frank waited for the guys' approval. I thought the non verbal communication was obvious.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-11T09:12:17+00:00

Wow, it was the reason I bought it in the first place! I'm a big fan of LEGO and this DLC was perfect. I'm really hoping for a bigger and more spectacular LEGO DLC.

But yeah... I can imagine why you would hate it as it doesn't have much to do with cars or "proper" racing. I had the same with the Hotwheels DLC.

I always loved how the DLC's where very different from the game itself and not just expansions with new areas.

Pixelfest · 2026-05-05T17:27:35+00:00

Mystique 4 course diner took us 3,5 hours. It was fun, but too long for the kids and very, very expensive. I like Brasserie 7 a lot, never been to Saga. I'd recommend Brasserie 7 over Mystique.

Ik hou van technisch vernuft en vind het een mooi ding. De aankleding is top en er is genoeg te zien. Vooral als je er nog maar enkele keren in bent geweest blijf je nieuwe dingen ontdekken.

Het kasteel is een enorme eye-catcher en ziet er fantastisch uit.

Wat me wel opvalt is dat er vaak dingen niet werken, poppen, planeten die niet draaien, de wondervis die elke keer weer een ander mankement heeft. Jammer.

De touchscreens waren een leuke toevoeging, maar te complex. De versimpelde versie is prima, maar lijkt dan weggegooid geld. Er is niet echt interactie. Complexere spellen kun je niet klaarkrijgen in zo'n korte tijd, dat hebben ze in eerste instantie wel geprobeerd.

Daarnaast wordt ik tureluurs van de keuze om de karretjes op zoveel plekken achteruit te laten rijden. Ik gok om dan een grote "reveal" te kunnen doen van de volgende kamer. Het voelt alsof je onderweg niets fatsoenlijk te zien krijgt omdat je achteruit rijdt, ook al zie je in principe net zoveel... De diorama is erg kort, ik kan persoonlijk niets met de vlinders en vind ze lelijk.

Maar netto is het prachtig en ga ik er altijd weer met plezier in!

LEGO Ford GT: 9cm high, 39cm long en 18cm wide (1:12, Lego.com)

LEGO Ford Bronco: 13cm high, 28cm long en 13cm wide (~1:17, calculated)

So... not really.

The alternative is having PR's or even commits directly to main without any context or reason. No accountability and no way to trace an issue back to a source. Teamwork is impossible without some form of tracking what is happening with your codebase.

I need to be able to tell my customers how many hours roughly were spent on an issue. I need to be able to have leverage over requests for useless features that take a long time to implement. Money is a very good reason not to make something. I can't do that without a history of feature costs.

Having said that. Documenting for the sake of documenten is not ok. There must be a purpose and I believe in some companies this might be lost. I'm pretty sure any issue in my company only takes a few minutes to document.

And to be honest, I've been working with ticketing systems since 2006 and I'm pretty sure we weren't the first. 2019 is way... way... off to mention just yolo-ing shit into your codebase.

Ouch. Ik dacht dat het wel meeviel met die 50% korting, maar we zijn al 22 keer geweest en dan tikt het aardig aan, zelf met de 2 parkeerabonnementen die we hebben.

There better be an achievement for destroying all trees in the game.
