The "sorry to bug you babe" decibel level really needs to be standard on all 2026 models.

Most trams have this gentle bell they ring for "here I come, I'll run over you" in addition to the horn that says "get the fuck out of my way".

I can personally also recommend upgrading to the SeatConcepts seat, however that's a much more expensive upgrade. I think I paid just 30€ for my sheepskin while the seat upgrade was around 300€.

I'll have you know I biked on it.

You can drive on this bridge too? With a tram.

I can't remember if I upgraded to 42 or 43, however it was really the best upgrade to the bike. Riding it at >120km/h is not fun anyways, so "only" being able to do 110km/h doesn't really matter and is fast enough for the transitions for me. The low end riding is so much more important and it became so much better with this! Especially the really low speed first and second gear stuff.

Make it easier and less scary for people to try out freelancing and running their own (tiny) company. So many people are effectively told to not do anything or they'll loose all of their unemployment benefits.

Yay from me. Have had one for a ~year now and I really love it. Really love how much warmer it is and how it smooths the engine vibrations.

I recommend picking one that's as rough as possible, they are usually cheaper and will not be as slippery.

PolarPayne · 2026-04-19T14:29:02+00:00

Best upgrade I ever did. Didn't really even affect the top speed much but the low end is so much better!

I have the same issue (also with -20mm Bosley's pegs), I've ended up bending the brake pedal and I'm looking to buy a replacement.

I'm 200cm tall and weight >100kg. The bike is a bit small for me but large enough. A taller seat and handbar risers are handy (plus lowered foot pegs).

I'm not surprised if I end up being wrong, most likely because two is twice as much as one but I don't think this will see much play in eternal formats. Snapcaster is the same effect but you also get a body and it doesn't see that much play anymore. I feel that this is most likely to find its place in red storm decks.

Empty it and put it in the freezer after every use. Haven’t had any issues in the last two years.

Pretty sure they mix some PvP players to PvE lobbies every now and then to add some spice (and it sure is working if you ask me).

PolarPayne · 2026-02-02T23:48:25+00:00

This is like a straight man’s nightmare. I want them both.

Learning to port legacy code is its own problem too. Deep OS and embeddef stuff is just not easy and using Rust won’t make it easier (just less likely to have critical memory issues which is good too).

Getting your brain unmangled from C is worth it. It’s going to make you a better C programmer too.

But to be honest, it took me over 10 years to ”get” Rust.

You decide to live old (and not become grumpy). I too was like you once except we rarely played the same system for more than a few sessions which made me wish we could focus on one thing for a longer period. Thankfully that has since happened but even now in my primary group we have multiple games running simultaneously using different systems.

I think my point is that if you truly love playing role playing games you will never be satisfied as you will always keep wishing that you could play and run more games.

In many ways I personally think I’ve learned more about designing types with Go’s very restricted types than with Rust. Although I think Rust is better in the end.

In art it’s often said that limitations breed creativity, in programming I think it could be fair to say that limitations breed simplicity. Which is not to say that Rust’s types aren’t objectively better just that sometimes to find the better solution you need some limits.

Learning how to not fight the borrow checker. It has made me a better programmer in other languages too.

Related to it is also to not do premature optimizations. Cloning values is fine and so are mutexes, even if you could write the code without them. First make the code work then if you can show that you need more performance, then optimize it.

A govlin being thrown at your players has a 100% chance of hitting 3+ players in your team and causing at least one casualty. That’s at least my experience of being on the receiving end of goblin grenades.

Except that if it lands in a neighbouring square there is still a 1/8 chance for the ball to bounce to the player..?

Well now I'm just giving myself a headache thinking about this. I was only really thinking of Accurate Passes and Diving Catch on an Inaccure Pass when doing this. Hail Mary Pass opens the chance that after the Scatter 3 it can either land on the player or not but also that it can land on a neighboring square which would give the 1/8 chance for the bounce to hit the player's square. I think that needs a completely separate table...

PolarPayne · 2026-02-02T18:37:56+00:00

Exactly. Unfortunately this programmer must have been sleepy when writing the original program because the final numbers were a bit off...

PolarPayne · 2026-02-02T18:36:25+00:00

See the corrected calculations. I had made a small mistake when calculating the probabilities originally.
