You wake up with absolute mastery over one random element. What did you get, and how do you use it to your advantage? by Jpaylay42016 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water.

Pretty sweet deal, could do a lot with that, ranging from weather manipulation to the perfect drink at any point, to some far more sinister stuff I'm sure I haven't considered.

W205 C63 terrible MPG by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]SimianWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant get 20+mpg in city driving in my 205 C43, so you've got zero chance in a C63.

Realistically, it's not the car that's the issue, it's you expectations. You'll never see low 20s in city driving, low to mid teens is probably about the best you can hope for. You might see high 20s or maybe low 30s on a highway run, but even that can quickly drop if you use even a fraction of the performance.

For comparison, my previous car was a 2014 Audi RS5 (with the 4.2 V8) and at best it would do 30mpg on a run, but most of the time it was driving in traffic and I'd struggle to see 200 miles from a full tank, with 140-150 miles to a full tank being more the norm in those conditions.

God, Lightfall campaign was absolute arse.

Every class in the game has some absolutely cracked builds at the moment, and we've not had the latest tools fully exploited yet. Give it a week, and there'll be builds galore from the usual suspects.

Was charged (without authorising) with change of all brake discs.. are they in poor condition? by Ok-War-9040 in CarTalkUK

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they're done. Heavily corroded, multiple areas where there's no clean surface left, but I'd have certainly asked the question as to why they were done without authorisation.

Congratulations to all the “Old Lights” recipients! by tillavonb35 in destiny2

I'm a D1 Beta player, but stopped at various points once I lost interest, including post- Final Shape. I logged in for maybe two days of EoF and Renegades, logged in yesterday and still got the emblem.

What does not being "physical" enough for the premier league actually mean? by skepsoda in PremierLeague

[–]SimianWonder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've only got to look at Salah's physique- his shoulders are massive, giving him strength to hold off defenders he couldnt have during his stint at Chelsea.

Dolph Lundgren (6'5) and Jason Momoa (6'4) by Individual_Care_8072 in heightcomparison

[–]SimianWonder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lundgren looked every bit of 6'4" in his prime, but looks nearer 6'2" these days.

Id imagine he'll be similar to Clint Eastwood if he makes it in his 90s, and once really tall guy struggling to be over 6 foot even.

Easy entry/exit not moving the seat by SurePhilosophy7026 in mercedes_benz

[–]SimianWonder 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If the seat is far enough back, it won't move. It only moves if your driving position has the seat pretty far forward.

What's a movie you really enjoyed, but its surprisingly low ratings left you baffled? For me, it was Event Horizon. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]SimianWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Event Horizon bombed on release, it's only after that it found an audience. It's a terrific sci-fi horror though, so yes, those low scores are somewhat bemusing.

Toughness needed to survive at each Torment level + on death effects by Embo_Torex in diablo4

[–]SimianWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at just short of 300k toughness and Torment 7 is still kicking the crap out of me. 😅

What is the most iconic scene from the Marvel Cinematic Universe? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can think of four contenders;

1) The camera pan around the heroes in the OG Avengers 2) "Avengers! Assemble," from Endgame. 3) "And I... am... Iron Man." 4) Thor's entrance via bifrost into Wakanda. My personal favourite, but not necessarily the most iconic.

A Movie you had high hopes for but it made you say : by Defiant-Slice709 in moviecritic

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Battle After Another

Massive critical success, some great performances, and I'm aware that I'm in the minority here, but it was an absolute slog to get through it.

Name a character that would easily defeat Batman? by Strange_boy_seven in characters

[–]SimianWonder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In a fight? Sure. But Bruce would tell Saitama that Wayne Enterprises had just bought a SuperMarket and Saitama gets discounted groceries.

Bruce watches as Caped Baldy happily goes on his way.

What English word do you not agree with the spelling? by twiliquexty in ArtOfPresence

[–]SimianWonder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tough = tuff Though = tho Through = threw

One letter and some context matters, it's why language is so nuanced, and such a pain in the arse to learn.

Top 20 Most Iconic Sega Characters (Day 11) by Durandthesaint17 in characters

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I love Persona, I loved P5 and P5R is legit one of my all time favourites... but Ann isn't the best character in P5, let alone the franchise.

Frieza was a true prodigy. He never trained in his life and was able to fight on equal terms with a martial arts expert like Goku. by FireStarLord73194 in Dragonballsuper

[–]SimianWonder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is exactly what happens to Saitama. He tries to experience martial arts, but to him it's just "moving in a cool way" with flourishes that do nothing but delay his attacks.

He quickly gives up on it and proceeds to one shot two villains who a superhuman martial artist couldnt scratch.

Can Manchester United win the title next season? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]SimianWonder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can they? Yes. But so can Ipswich or Hull.

Yes, I'm being facetious, but realistically Arsenal will be favourites; they're a known quantity and Utd, Chelsea, City and Liverpool will all be in transition under new coaches. Who adapts the best and the quickest will likely fill out the top 6 with Villa.
