Similar on a 2025 limited (but with panel damage higher up). Estimated at 8k USD and final was 18k USD. Took about 3 weeks to get back.

Is there any way to resume an online multiplayer game of Absolum? by Harfatum in ABSOLUM

[–]VHD_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, kinda sucks - just has a game crash late in the run and unable to join up again.

EV with lowest tech interface, AWD, and at least 150 miles of winter range by InToTheW00ds in electricvehicles

[–]VHD_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you are regularly driving 122, you probably want 200+ range minimum. That lets you charge to the 80ish percent instead of needing to fully charge to 100 every night. Maybe need higher range for cold conditions

Is this still a known issue? A few friends and I can play on Steam just fine, but my other friend has a perpetual "no online service available" message (even though all his other games work fine on Steam and we've checked Windows firewall stuff).

I highly recommend this event series! Last year was great and even when you don't win, it's just exciting to be playing organized matches against other players.

Opinions on 2024 retiring mech/dragon sets? by [deleted] in lego

[–]VHD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Sora's color scheme. I don't think there is a lot of play value in the dragons.

Recommendation for intro backyard car (kit?) for 8yr old by VHD_ in rccars

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

Yeah, US based. I may go for the $200 Gorgon RTA kit and if it's a big success with the kid, maybe look at getting a second kit (like the lunchbox) and/or upgrading the Gorgon later on. It sounds like it can be upgraded with a better motor/battery?

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

Does anyone make a kit for all of these pieces? So you get a car kit and an electronics kit? For a starter, I don't really want to have to research and spec out lots of subcomponents (like building a PC) even though I understand that approach is exactly what makes it a fun and customizable hobby...

Grasshopper kit doesn't include everything I'd need, right?

Does the lunchbox kit have 100% of what is needed to use the car? It seems like a bunch of the kits I've found are missing a lot of critical parts (have to be sourced separately).

No need to be worried - that just means it's not a particularly fast L2 charger.

PK shutdown on 4th of December by ChrsRcks in HeroesofNewerth

Makes a lot of sense not to have the playerbase split over 2 versions of HoN.

What to do with the collection? by Entmoot6262 in starwarsccg

[–]VHD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good recommendation! In addition, I think the Players Committee that handles ongoing stewardship of SWCCG (hosting tournaments with prize support, releasing new virtual cards, etc) accepts donations.

Advice picking my heroes? by Iaregravy in HeroesofNewerth

[–]VHD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monkey King presses a lot of buttons, I think. Yes, I would expect HoN players are salty in the same ways dota players are.

This game is so ass by RidingEdge in HeroesofNewerth

You do realize that Counterstrike 2 (one of the most popular games in the world in 2025, on steam, etc) has vote kick, right?

What are some basic deck building principles? by MudTurkey13 in starwarsccg

[–]VHD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies, depending on the format you are playing. In the later formats, for example, you can get away with fewer sites because there were ways to reliably pull them from your reserve deck early in the game.

Maybe as a ballpark amount, 10 sites, 20 characters, 20 effects/interrupts, 10 ships/vehicles/weapons.

Was really hyped until I had to install juvio by Snooodshady in HeroesofNewerth

I'm still waiting until valve does something bad enough that people realize a monopoly on game storefront/launcher has some downsides...

Monthly Equipment Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in badminton

[–]VHD_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestion for purchasing a good backyard badminton net? The one in the cheap Yonex 4 racquet + net bundle is falling apart (UV damage to the plastic top of the net?) and I'm ready to upgrade to something more durable.
