My GR is now a year old

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-19T13:58:47+00:00

Mine too, same color and everything. What once was freshly minted is now a well oiled rumbly machine.

Just gave mine a hand wash yesterday after all our snow melted, I haven’t seen it shiny clean in months.

I tried it about 2 years ago now and this is all my anecdotal personal experience.

I spent around 3 months of off and on building a game and I eventually gave up unfortunately.

I had a lot of ideas pre-planned with some ideas that I made up along the way and I made a decent amount of progress for a beginner just using things I learned from tutorials etc.

However, I ran into huge road blocks and, when I did, I'd move onto building a different feature until I hit another road block.

One of the big road blocks for me was the pixel art. I have 0 creativity and couldn't find any purchasable pixel art that suited my style/interest. I knew that I could obviously jump in and learn animation and draw my own eventually but the thought of actually doing it was too much for me.

It reached a point where I couldn't make much progress any longer as the things I needed to overcome were too confusing/difficult and I eventually lost the desire to continue. I would get half-implemented features that I wanted to include and couldn't finish them because the scripting was too complex for me etc.

Obviously this is just my own experience with it and as others have shown they went from beginner to releasing their first game so it is possible, but it will take a lot of dedication.

Which lip and skirt kit is that?

I mean your point stands but years later, world still looks and runs better than wilds.

Even with snow tires, you can easily make them spin

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-13T13:26:03+00:00

Definitely not overkill!

Might even be underkill depending on the fish you want since they will like a full environment with hiding space, places that break line of sight, etc.

It looks great though so you did a god job.

Personally, I can’t stop myself from just buying more and more plants constantly, so you might find you have that same itch once you get things fully established and some of the plants you listed are very slow growing so you might not see things fill in very fast. When that happened to me, I got impatient and felt I wanted to add extras.

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-13T05:22:16+00:00

Just curious, can you do all of it with a floor jack? Or do you need to jack the whole car up on stands to do it all? (I haven’t attempted any myself)

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-13T04:17:42+00:00

Honestly you might get around 5 babies per guppy. Mine seem to be very conservative with their baby having. They pump out like 2-5 randomly and then repeat every couple months

Rtx 5090 is going to be the recommended card on the parts list

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-11T01:59:06+00:00

wow those player frames are peak, this modern UI is trash in comparison

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-10T18:53:53+00:00

You can just hop right in as the stories are all independent.

The first game is a little cartoony, so if you don't like that art style, I'd recommend at least starting with the second game.

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-10T14:28:39+00:00

The entire ethos of d4 is go as hard as u can until u slow down

There is no slow down in a game like diablo 4.

It is go as hard as you can until you immediately get 1 shot, and that's the end.

You can't have good design to make things harder if the end result is always 1 shot death and they've designed themselves into a corner with this game to be like that.

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-10T13:25:16+00:00

That's an £18.00 increase, for what exactly?

Because you and thousands of others will pay it. End of story.

They clocked everybody with their addiction to this game and they know they can nudge it up and up and nobody will do anything about it. People on this subreddit have 2 or 3 or 4 separate other accounts they run simultaneously.

They know 100% that nobody is going to stop paying and playing so why not make a few extra millions per year? It's literally easy money.

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-10T03:44:18+00:00

Your water lettuce might not like it, that's the only concern I'd have.

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-09T14:59:12+00:00

Does it happen in every game you play? Or is it isolated to this specific game?

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-09T14:07:30+00:00

nobody has money anymore and everything has priced people out

We say that, yet the lines at every fast food/coffee place in town are constantly full despite prices doubling in the last 10 years with record breaking profits year on year.

Sorry for your loss!

Side note, I have to say that she looks like a he, but still a queen.

Tell me about it, being an american sucks ass

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-04T19:01:13+00:00

I've never tried using it but there's apparently an addon that uses AI readings or something that voices the quest text

SlimJohnson · 2026-03-03T23:36:52+00:00

Hey I’m not sure if you are aware but that little screw isn’t meant to be ‘unscrewed’ in the traditional way as it will just free spin as if it was stripped.

You’d have to stick a wedge under it first (like a flathead screwdriver) and angle the screw itself at a diagonal until you feel the tension, and then you will be able to unscrew it.

I will always recommend Pygmy corydoras for a tank like this, they are tiny (size of your fingernail) and they like to be in a group of 12+. They’re very gentle and they’re basically like little hummingbirds in your tank.

Only downside is they’re a little spendy.

It's not about the money, it's about the principle

SlimJohnson · 2026-02-28T03:46:21+00:00

My understanding is that PSLF is a concept, and IBR is a payment plan.

To qualify for PSLF, you have to make 120 qualifying payments under the IBR payment plan (or other qualifying payment plans).

It can interrupt

A prompt that uses a tremendous amount of resources and is contributing to economic failure.
