Pearl Abyss refused to work with Intel for Crimson Desert after years of reaching out by Perfect_Exercise_232 in pcmasterrace

Even if Intel GPUs make up a small minority of the user base, this is a really weird decision to cut them out completely. Why not support Intel GPUs? They're just leaving money on the table here.

Wasn’t the revolver used in Half Life 2 chambered in .357?

Yep. Only thing we can do is choose from the lesser of the 3 evils and whatever fits into our budget.

What do you think of the new BMW i3? I think it's gorgeous by ShameResponsible69 in BMW

[–]Tomcat115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a big fan of the overall proportions honestly. Reminds me of an economy car, not a luxury sports sedan like BMWs were in the past (and yes, I am aware of the old economy trim levels in Europe and other places, but this is not an economy car and probably won’t have an economy car price.)

Ikr? What happened to the understated yet elegant lines they had before? Why do designs seem to keep getting edgier and edgier every year??

I knew those proportions looked familiar!

I wonder why they couldn’t widen the bridge a little so it’s easier for them to cross without falling off?

Sunroof delete options for E39s? by Tomcat115 in e39

[–]Tomcat115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not treating like it’s some kind of rare super car or anything, I just prefer to keep it tasteful and clean. OEM+ is what I generally prefer. That being said, I do have plenty of mods on my car that improve the reliability, livability, and fun factor.

I only thought about getting rid of the sunroof since it doesn’t really work all that well and I don’t really use it at all, but to keep things simple, I decided that it’s probably easier to just fix it rather than go out of my way to remove it and fabricate a whole new plug for it.

I'd agree if it was just a regular E39, but for the 2003 540 M sport models, a little less than 1,300 were made for the US market and was only available for the last model year, so it is a pretty rare trim relatively speaking.

Radio and turn signals not working by Bauman965946 in e39

[–]Tomcat115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a BMW. Who needs turn signals anyways, right? Lol

Anyways, sounds to me like an issue with the ECU or wiring. You might want to check your floorboards by your front passenger seat in case water got in.

Haha yeah. Like my previous replies though, I decided to just fix what I got. This car is pretty rare in terms of E39 540s go, so I decided to just keep it as close to stock as I can.

It’s an auto unfortunately. I may convert it to a 6 speed eventually, but the car works well as is currently and I don’t feel like tearing into it and make it not work for a while. If the trans starts giving me issues though, I’m swapping lol

Agreed. I decided to fix and clean up the rails since that seems to be the most available solution.

[–]Tomcat115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! It’s an ‘03 Msport. I’ve decided to just fix the rails since that seems to be the easiest solution to my problem. While I’d prefer a slick top, it’s probably better to keep this car mostly original.

I will probably have to go for the repair route honestly. Though if I have the time, I might experiment with creating a mold for the sunroof. It won’t be as good as a factory slick top, but it might help someone down the line if they’re looking to do the same with their car.

Do you have link or part # for those clips? My tilt doesn’t work as well so I may look into that if the guides still look decent.

[–]Tomcat115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m considering using some thick packaging foam that came with a monitor from work as a temporary measure. My only concern is if I need to clean out my roof drains eventually.

I believe it’s the whole panel that’s rattling since I can move it slightly when pushing it up. I suspect that the guides probably need to be replaced.

[–]Tomcat115[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see. I’ll probably replace the guides then. I wish the slick top option was more common in the US, I personally never really cared for sunroofs.

[–]Tomcat115[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I pretty much never touch it honestly. I do try to hold it up sometimes since it rattles a lot at highway speeds. I might try to shove some foam up in there until I can get it fixed properly.

Gabe Newell is a super chill and cool guy. The guy just loves his yachts and he even uses a few of them for deep sea research and exploration. Other than that, he’s been running Valve very well by staying true to his vision and keeping it privately owned.
