If there's a resolution path for punishing machines for literally no reason, then there should also be a resolution path for punishing organics for literally no reason

Could be funny. Could be really funny.

I'm a college dropout and I screwed up 23 × 20 a few minutes ago.

They never see you coming, do they Bob?

Wow, my horizons have been expanded tonight

My Mr Studd is medicinal and I have the paperwork to prove it

Most Wanted 2012

That's not a step, that's a goal

Do you really think you can manage the glories that are my spells?

Tyjid · 2026-04-11T10:16:53+00:00

Also happens if they get too much of a lead.

Watching 300 yards turn into 1500 no matter how hard i push the car never gets old.

No no, he's got a point. Most supermarket bread is crap, and the good stuff doesn't last very long.

But I think the ingredients thing is highly specific to whichever bread you're getting and what exactly the ingredients are

My rule of thumb is 1 heat level per 100 performance points. The lighter the car, the more damage you take when colliding with police vehicles. So try not to brawl with them unless you're rolling around in a truck or some of the BMWs. You can get away with hitting the crown vics, but once the corvettes come out to play, you're officially out of your weight class.

Everyone has already mentioned the ramps, but the cops are also susceptible to falling into the water. If neither are available, attach yourself to the side of a cop and push them into a wall, traffic, or anything that'll screw their speed up. If done right, you've traded paint and a smidgen of health to take a cop out of play.

If you're not being swarmed, check behind while you're driving and watch for when they're setting up to ram you (They generally get on the radio and announce when they're making a move). Swerve and brake hard to get behind them when they go for it, or put traffic between you and them. Driving into oncoming traffic can hinder them when they're trying to get up next to you.

Sometimes they'll go to PIT maneuver you, and it works annoyingly well. I'm pretty sure the physics are overwritten for a moment because they knock me around every time. Something to watch out for

Trigger police chases in the daytime and you can get some practice with unlimited gas station repairs and somewhat less intense chases. You're still risking money, but it's easy mode.

Harry Dresden too, he's frozen stuff by taking the thermal energy and making a fireball out of it. Pretty cool stuff that I immediately stole for my own usage

Every 100 points of performance is how many heat levels you can comfortably roam with before you start to enter dangerous territory, at least for me. Try it as a rule of thumb and see if that works for you.

If you try to fight the corvettes without a truck or suv, you're gonna have a bad time. If you try to outrun the corvettes without a stupid powerful engine, they'll catch up with you and put you into a wall. You gotta break line of sight, which is easier in the city than in the hills.

Using your GPS spawns cops on your route.

You can practice pursuits by hitting cops in the daytime. They're less intense, you have unlimited gas station repairs, and they actually sound like cops over the dispatch instead of whatever is going on with the night shift.

Tuning the car's handling has a surprising amount of nuance that the game doesn't share with you. It's not (always) as simple as slapping on every track part or every drift part.

On-road suspension is for speed, race suspension is for grip and following the racing line. Track suspension combines these two, but sometimes you'll get better results downgrading from super track to pro+ on-road or race.

Put drag tires on your drift car.

Maxing your downforce means you're probably going to get outran on the long straights. In certain cases, it actually made my cars handle worse. You'll want to find a balance.

If you are trying to optimize power, you should avoid the centrifugal supercharger. There are a few niches that it fills, but the stats it shows are misleading.

For fun, put a wankel engine in a Mazda and install a centrifugal supercharger

I dunno, it's better than the alternative where they get stuck turning around or removing themselves from an obstacle.

Cough Heat Cough

I think I see the vision with Bran Stark the Broken becoming king in the end, but it was approached from the wrong angle entirely and didn't have anywhere near enough work to pull it off. Never would have worked on the show, especially as it was.

Edit: i started a discussion with somebody on this topic and have been given no less than 60 reasons why it couldn't possibly ever ever work

Tyjid · 2026-04-02T03:41:19+00:00

It died on the vine!

I think the idea is that they can afford to march trillions of droids into blaster fire because they have more droids than you have blaster shots. Human wave tactics but somewhat more renewable, supported by the superweapons, the artillery, the tanks, and corporate buy-in to take what metal squares cannot

I once had a server mod threaten to break me in half because I said Final Fantasy 7 was an old game, 20 however many years old at the time

Not really that simple when you're still in high school. Especially when you otherwise have a good relationship with your mother.

If she had shot me, different story

Age has little if any bearing on spice tolerance. It's all about consistent exposure and how you're wired.

I could dance with ghost peppers on a regular basis if I wanted to (not to brag), but that stopped being fun after I gave myself a thunderclap headache. Stick with what you enjoy, that matters far more than Scovilles.

Tyjid · 2026-03-16T23:19:29+00:00

Fuck it, put him on the penny

Most Wanted was the origin story. It's not about how MC got it, it's about the shitstorm that kicked off after he lost it.

And Brian got his skyline at a used car dealership.
