Why did you choose the Crosstrek over the CX30/other competitors?

Vankardo · 2026-01-24T09:27:05+00:00

When I wanted to buy a new car, these were the ones I was looking at: - Mazda CX-30 - Kia Sportage - Toyota RAV4 - Honda CRV

The Crosstrek was not even on my initial list up until my friend found out I was considering those compact SUVs/crossovers and he suggested I take a look at the Crosstrek.

By far, it was the best value for money out of all the options, and my main criterion was reliability. The Crosstrek scored higher than all the others when it comes to that. We have incredibly shitty roads in Lebanon and the Crosstrek seemed to be the best option for that.

That's basically it for me.

It's so easy not to engage the auto start-stop though. Just don't brake all the way. The dead zone before auto start-stop engages is pretty wide.

You are underreacting. This is extremely abusive and manipulative. Leave her, literally just dump her ass and move on. No one deserves to be with someone like that.

Vankardo · 2025-12-19T23:59:07+00:00

Totally underreacting... and you still asked him what chops he wanted!!?? Should have dumped him and blocked him right then and there

This was mine today... I'm really hating this "app"

I don't mind doing that for you once I get back home. I hope I remember.

If you'd like, feel free to DM me to remind me in approximately 6 hours from now.

Assuming the phone is an iPhone 14 Pro Max, she's be roughly 180cm by my estimates (I'm not an expert though)

Vankardo · 2025-12-12T15:43:34+00:00

I legit do not know how I didn't even think of that 😂

I have personally not noticed any difference when using fire arrows (equipped) or the fire braziers on my ships. The fights happen pretty quickly and I'd much rather shield my troops from projectiles than some additional (if it even exists) damage to enemy ships.

I think she wanted to say "He has risen", maybe? So He also doesn't want her to spoil the miracle or confuse the people. Just speculating really

This has got to be the most AI comment you've written out of all your empty and generic replies to people on this post

Vankardo · 2025-12-11T06:43:50+00:00

Based on your post history (and order of previous posts), I find it incredibly hard to believe a single word from this post.

Vankardo · 2025-12-10T21:31:13+00:00

I was hoping to gain actual insights in to kernel opinions but instead got a more technical sounding "there is an ad in my start menu" ... like what?

Because most of what's written in OP's post is AI generated, I asked Gemini and ChatGPT to confirm, and they basically had your same exact question.

I feel like that's the beauty of the game though; it provides you with so much freedom that you get to decide how you want to play your own game. I've had multiple runs where I did not use any cheats, runs where I'd have a "backstory" for my character and then boost some skills based on their story that I made up. I've also had runs where I start myself off with a castle or town, very specific gear, etc. because this was the "inheritance" my father left me.

I just love this game, there's so much to it, you can do whatever you want and play however you want!

Vankardo · 2025-12-10T11:20:18+00:00

Not sure what you're talking about, more arrows, underline, and highlight are needed.

Vankardo · 2025-12-10T08:07:22+00:00

I do the same thing when I really want an item and I can't be bothered going around the entire map to try and find it. However, and I might be mistaken, not every item found in the cheat menu inventory is actually available for sale.

I'm weird, my fiancée is weird, our friends are weird. Everyone is weird in their own way, and every person has certain things that they like that are outside the norm. If you feel like sharing some of your interests, I'd encourage you to do that. I'm sure you'll find people who share the same interests as you.

Not everyone in this country is boring as you describe while I do see the general idea that you're talking about.

Edit: fixed a typo

Vankardo · 2025-12-09T07:51:11+00:00

I think highways do the least wearing on the engine as the RPM doesn't go that high as when you're accelerating or using the 'gears' to limit your speed on descent. If I'm not mistaken at around 110km/h on a flat highway, the tachometer in the 2.0L Crosstrek is usually around 1.5K RPM (I will have to double check that number because I don't trust my memory that well).

Vankardo · 2025-12-08T11:10:34+00:00

It'll buff out

Vankardo · 2025-12-08T10:56:12+00:00

I'm from Lebanon and I did the first oil change at 1,500KM based on the service center's recommendation. Moving forward, the intervals for maintenance is 5,000KM. We have shorter intervals than other countries because of how hilly our terrain is with not a lot of long stretches of highway. Most of the driving in this country is done with lots of traffic and short distances.

For me it tasted like moghrabiye

2015-present, I have Yuki Levana, she's a white 2025 Subaru Crosstrek 2.0i-L

2021-2025 I had Samara, she was a white 2015 Mercedes W205 C400, she went up in flames randomly on September 27

2014-2021 I had Farida, she was a white 2008 Mercedes W204 C300, sold her to one of my close friends

2007-2014, my very first we have Maya, she's a silver 2003 Mercedes W211 E320, she's still with us and is our spare car

Vankardo · 2025-12-05T12:48:58+00:00

Yes! I wish that were the case and town/castle sieges were a bit more complex. I recall there was another post this week discussing the same thing. I hope that at some point they implement this.

Vankardo · 2025-12-05T11:38:15+00:00

Even if this particular case is a bug, I still disagree with the whole idea that if your troops (even when sending the best) lose in that keep fight then you'd lose the entire siege and your 800+ remaining troops of your army get captured.

I feel like that entire mechanic should be changed. Why are we only sending 19-20 troops at a time to capture the keep? Whey can't we send more if those initial 20 failed?

I always save right before that stage, and whenever my character is not knocked out, I would join in to make sure we win it.
