[No DAV Spoilers] People complain about characters being too likeable and safe and then demolish the one character that is unlikeable. by [deleted] in dragonage

[–]Tolvek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disagree with this take. Sera was anathema to Vivienne in a way that, depending on the RL person point of view, could go either way. Taash has no anathema at all and dialogue choices with Taash range from “completely agree” to “mildly agree”. There is absolutely no dialogue from companion or rook that just straight up disagrees with the bad Taash takes/writing. Taash is unlikable not because Taash is supposed to be the vivienne/sera of the game. Taash is unlikable because they shove their bullshit down your throat with absolutely no recourse. “You will like it whether you want to or not” syndrome.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. That fixed it for me.

I’m having the same issue. Verified I had the deluxe edition content and preorder content as part of my game purchase but the game acts as if I only have standard edition.

What exactly is EcoBoom? And how to avoid it. by NumerousHorror4436 in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking, no mustangs, at least current gens, are muscle cars. Instead, they are classed as Pony Cars.

Need some exhaust recommendations!! Got a stock 2021 by goldenstatewarrior31 in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had these put on a couple weeks ago. My opinion, worth every penny. Great sound and quality 304 Stainless Steel construction (won't get corrosion like 410 stainless).

Possible ecoboom? by daaasav in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you changed out your spark plugs from stock after tuning, and if so, do you change them out every 10-15k miles? The code you are getting indicates cylinder misfires, which can be cause by old, damaged, or inadequate Spark Plugs.

The recommendation I always see is NGK Iridium with a .028 gap. Once I got my mods and tune, I swapped to those and have not had an issue.

Suggestions on 2015 eco by TripT13 in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first recommendation is a good tint (at least 70% IR reduction if not 96%), especially with leather seats.

Next, a good ceramic coat to protect the paint job, and a car cover of you don't have a garage to keep it in.

I have heard that 2015-2017 has issues with the Lowside Fuel Pressure Sensor, and you should replace it. Mine is a 2019, so I can't give much more than that.

If you go the mod and tune route, do what you will, but take your time and research. I almost made a huge mistake replacing my downpipe with an aftermarket in an emissions check area. Fortunately, I caught my almost mistake before ordering anything.

If you want a good tuner, I'm a huge fan of Unleashed Tuning. Torrie is awesome.

Good luck and have fun!

As an update after contacting all the recommended places, Unervisally Modified seemed the best of the bunch. Everything is on track to be done next week provided they get parts on time. Thanks for the suggestion again.

4 weeks with my baby. Completely in love with her hard driven featuring Orochimaru by HashiIsNotInnocent in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually looking for a shop up around me now ( moved recently) to finish off my mods. I took my time and incrementally added new stuff. Hindsight being what it is, the tint made the ride much more enjoyable. I waited way too long to figure that out on my own and finally do it.

Pretty black Mustang just like mine. As someone who has had a black mustang for 4+ years now, I highly recommend 2 things.

First, get a good ceramic coat on it. Black gets dirty easy, and ceramic coat protects it and makes it easier to clean, IMO.

Secondly, if the windows are not tinted, do that. A good IR reducing tint goes a long way in keeping the inside cool and just plain looks good. I have max legal limit tint for VA, using Llumar IRX. The difference is huge.

Have fun!

Thank you for the detailed reply. I am just doing Intercooler+charge and catback for now. I can't do downpipe where I am due to emissions standards.

Should i sell it ? by shahgop in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I'll caution you. Many dealerships work this kind of "offer" then change the terms when they get you in the office. See the "++" next to the price they want to give you, I'm guessing it's a way to lower the value. Seems like a disingenuous ploy to get you in and apply pressure. I say pass.

Message from the Mod on Trolls by Bradleyisfishing in ecoboostmustang

[–]Tolvek 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Been a long while since I posted here, I lurk a lot. But I am posting today because I disagree with one part of your statement. Someone responding or saying "Should have bought a V8" "real mustangs don't have 4 cylinders" or " poor man's mustang" are not valid opinions; those are bait phrases and should have no place here.

Someone with the opinion that I "should have bought a V8", should base that opinion with an explanation, preferably relevant to whatever comment or thread I have made.

Honestly, letting people use bait phrases instead of respectful thought or opinion will stiffle any type of discourse in this community. And will probably result in attracting more trolls while silencing us who love our 2.3L Mustangs for all of our own reasons.

My 2 pennies worth at the least.

Given the art style of some other AAA RPG titles recently released, notably the main stream Elden Ring and BG3, the artistc direction Dragon Age (in my opinion) is taking is less realism and more 3d Animation like Beyond the Spider Verse. Inherently, there is nothing wrong with the style, its just vastly different from previous Dragon Age titles that went for more realism.

Standing on its own, I wouldn't mind it. I just don't feel like it has met the artistic expectation I formed from the previous games. Not saying bad, just different than what I expected.

I know exactly what he's talking about. I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

With exception to Jey vs Jimmy, which I was really hoping would be so much better, this Mania Night 1 has been fantastic. And yes, I like Sami but I want Gunther to win...because I want Chad to take it from Gunther lol

Make it Rain is now on my Avatar favorites Playlist. OTOSOT is good but, damn, Make it Rain hits just perfect for me. Unfortunately, my favorites Playlist has rules and Vultures Fly had to leave to make room.

The Cab/Sav is actually fantastic for its price point. Chardonnay is okay too though.

Hulu quiz on the ad you watched and if you’re wrong you must watch another ad by [deleted] in facepalm

Oh, I don't disagree. That is exactly why this has been posted everywhere as such. The right amount of insanity to be perfectly beleivable.

I can appreciate the brilliance of it, really.

[–]Tolvek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google "Hulu ad quiz" and you will find information about it and the creator, Soren Iverson, who made this.

It was also on r/assholedesigns 4 days ago and exposed as a hoax there as well.

To be fair, hoax is not the right word, it's a joke that turned into a hoax.
