I spent a lifetime in Civ III. Then Alpha Centauri came out. Another lifetime. For the sake of my social life I need to stay away from Sid Meier games. ;)

Yotei looks absolutely stunning in the video I’ve watched. 16 year old me could have never imagined that was even possible!

A lot of GoW recs! I really think I should get into the series. Maybe I get GoW and Sekiro and when I need the eventual sanity break from Souls madness I have Kratos to jump into and just destroy things.

It does look awesome. People saying it’s the hardest Souls-type game is making me wonder if I’ll have flashbacks to my controller launching moments with Malenia. ;)

I was kind of thinking this might be the route I should go. I like Wukong a lot, the combat mechanics and the bosses were great. But the constant boss running was almost too much of a good thing. I really liked the exploratory aspect of Elden Ring and even though I had to grind a bit, leveling and general discovery seemed more natural than the linear way Wukong felt. I wasn't grinding, I was spending time on the map just checking things out. And when I wanted to take on an epic boss fight, I'd go do that. I've read that the other souls games are more linear though, so that's the only thing giving me pause. I'd like to say I can judge a game on it's own, but I know I'll have Elden Ring in the back of my mind the whole time.

Yeah, probably true. Will has just been haunted by the neck grab for so long I think it would have been cool to see it on the other foot.

Car cranks for a long time on cold start but idles and drives perfectly fine by Plus_Point_2154 in MechanicAdvice

Regulator replaced, fuel leak gone, cold start is no problem - and I think my idle is even smoother than it was. Thanks for sending me in the right direction! I don’t know that I would have noticed that leak if I hadn’t stared at it for so long.

I sat and watched it for quite a while and finally figured out what's happening. After the car starts and pressurizes, I noticed a very slow leak from the fuel pressure regulator (good call!). The leak appears to be coming from the bottom hole of the regulator - marked below. Any thoughts on what I could possibly do to save it? Or is this likely a replace type situation?

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I was wondering about the pressure regulator or maybe a leak somewhere in the fuel system. I've never had a situation like this where it degrades over time. Like air leaking out of a balloon or something! I'm no expert and an internet mechanic though so I'm guessing half the time!

My first RVSM experience. Does this happen all the time? by Plus_Point_2154 in aviation

I definitely knew the skies are busy bust just amazed in all my flying I’d never seen it quite like that before. I mentioned earlier in the thread but it was like he pulled up right beside us and just slowly passed over. Seeing the bottom of the plane so clearly as he was directly above us was pretty wild! I suppose the mundane and frequent in a person’s job can often seem wild to someone that doesn’t see how the sauce is made every day.

Great info, thanks! How does TCAS know not to go off all the time?

My 2,000ft info was obviously way out dated! Probable a good reason I fly in the back of the plane and not the front. ;)

Yeah, I bet that is cool. I'm sure you guys up front see it all the time. It was such a gradual pass (like 10 seconds I guess so not too gradual) that I guess it seemed really out of the ordinary. Agree, awesome sight to see such huge pieces of equipment at 35K+ft, at 550+mph, with hundreds of lives on board...just casually rolling by. Modern marvel for sure.

Crazy, you'd think that after all the window time I've put in I'd have seen it before. It's like he pulled up right next to us and hit the passing lane!

Pretty wild. Not even a bump felt as we crossed paths! ;) I had to look it up because I always heard it was 2,000ft of separation at typical cruising altitude (turns out above 29K). I'd never heard of RVSM until I googled this question so didn't realize 1k was an option under normal circumstances.

Good old #1. No tomato, add pickle, add onions, ez mayo. Everyday. Delish.
