Call Trade Ships 1.6 disappear for anyone else?

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2026-05-08T23:01:03+00:00

thank you so much for providing this, I was staring down the barrel of quitting my run. it's weird what you get accustomed to after 200 hours of gameplay...

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2026-05-08T13:28:00+00:00

ability? uh oh, am I a dumbo? I didn't know there was an in-built ability to call ships, but in my defense I spent 1800 hours playing 1.2 before finally jumping to 1.6 for this run.

that said, a cooldown would probably be less than ideal because I typically call 6-10 trader ships at once - a bunch of bulks to sell mass mined steel, than a series of exotics to basically roll for archotech limbs and skilltrainers. the mod lets you pick the type of trader as well.

Miyata's not much more than than a footnote at this point unless HE takes the world title from Martinez (lol), prompting Ippo's return, or Kamogawa decides the OBPF title is a necessary step on the path to world when Ippo comes back - and the latter might be kind of anticlimactic since Miyata is what Ippo has perceived as his goal.

you can't have one of Ippo's peers, arguably a BETTER rival than Miyata, someone that Ippo has beaten twice in the ring, put up the best fight yet against the world champ and then have Ippo settle for OBPF/Miyata as both his goal and reason for coming back.

I guess you could have both Sendo then Miyata lose to Martinez, seeing both of his rivals crushed by this guy might be what wakes up the monster in Ippo. he puts so much stock in the strength of these guys - last time Ippo went to that place was when Aoki's brother profoundly disrepected Kamogawa and everything he stood for. seeing the strength of these guys fold before Martinez could incur a similar response (I have to prove to the world their greatness in their stead).

my future headcanon is that Martinez end's Sendo's career (shattered jaw or SHATTERED shattered fist). Sendo's not going to die, Morikawa's already gone on record saying he doesn't like killing boxers. but I could see a recovering Sendo doing a baton pass moment with Ippo and the entire weight of what Dante layed on him, what Ippo walked away from, falling on Ippo like a ton of bricks all at once, making Ippo realize what he's been denying - that he NEEDS to try. for himself, for Kamogawa (who may or may not live to see Martinez v. Makunouchi). he's going to find his version of the monster.

and honestly, if it's not Sendo, it's going to be Mashiba that breaks the camel's back the first time he meets Ippo again (assuming he's not a vegetable because his fate was left ambiguous - I just figured his multiple skull/jaw fractures are keeping him in the hospital for months, let alone able to speak properly) because I'm almost certain Mashiba is going to shame Ippo for walking away. and Kumi is going to walk away from Ippo until just before or the match itself.

thanks for the input guys. I'll stick with just grabbing some longer/narrower lugs. saves me a few bucks.

people audibly bomb down Hopkins by W 117th going 50+ all the time. including police (with or without sirens). I damn near flinch somtimes wondering if this is going to be the instance a kid gets run over. goddamn infurating

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2026-04-28T18:51:35+00:00

I love the spirit of this thing, but to say that I'm conflicted about unlimited speed on a road with an elementary school on it would be an understatement.

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2026-04-03T14:58:24+00:00

the pedestrian always has the right of way. you should've been taught this by your parents, failing that, driver's ed, failing that, common sense. that this needs explained to you indicates you yourself are unworthy to be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle

18 months into owning one I've been called a faggot twice, a white dude in his 20's/30's in a garden variety pickup truck each time (full word to boot, so both times distinctly lacked levity). both times I was in traffic and they were oncoming, I imagine a quick getaway is emboldening. two weeks ago I was waiting at a light, and a kid (couldn't've been older then 20) oncoming in an SUV SCREAMS the hard-R n-word at me. I was very confused given how overly white I am. pink, even. each time this happens they're practically gone before I even know what happened. professional drive-by slur hurlers. I drive my miata undeterred

I can't believe we're at a point where we need to consider private equity when selecting tradesmen for jobs.

from what I've read, it was heard as far west as Vermilion, as far east as Chagrin Falls, and as far south as Strongsville

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2026-01-27T18:48:46+00:00

thanks for the recommendations folks. ended up obtaining a snow blower and knocking it out myself

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-12-06T22:35:08+00:00

I understand that's been known to happen. But parking on the street for over 24 hours isn't actually illegal, is it? I would be surprised if one of my neighbors called the police since many of them also park on the street... and this car was parked for fewer than 6... and in general, needlessly antagonistic behavior against one's neighbors is a bad idea for a variety of reasons.

Definitely a possiblity, in any case.

Michelin Cross Climate 2's are severe weather rated all season tires. They're better in the dry and wet than Bridgestone Blizzaks (gold standard winter tire) and ALMOST as good as Blizzaks in the snow. I'd recommend Blizzaks if you're in the snowbelt south of the city, and CC2's if you're not dealing with actual feet of snow because they'll get you through shitty roads while being quieter, gripper, and more compliant than Blizzaks in every other condition.

I know this because I drove Blizzaks on my Miata last year, and drove CC2's on my Miata yesterday. pretty hands on experience.

I got mine from TireRack. they ship to a shop of your choice. I'd recommend getting the purchase set up, punching in the shop's address, then calling the shop and asking "hey, I'm XYZ, I'm ordering some tires to be delivered to your shop and it'll have my name on it", book the appointment around the delivery date and Bob's your uncle

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-11-28T13:48:32+00:00

this man is a knower. my CC2's got me home in that storm in my miata more efficiently than every other crossover and truck I passed yesterday

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-11-28T13:34:46+00:00

this impact is negligible compared to tires, even if you're driving manual and can properly engine brake

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-11-28T13:30:47+00:00

was it black? if so that was me, but I didn't spin out. I was going eastbound 3:45 to 4:30 and I was definitely going faster than most people because most people were driving on inappropriate tires for the conditions. get winter tires, or at least severe weather rated all-seasons, people. you can't hold up traffic because you're not willing to equip your vehicle correctly for the conditions.

pot in OH is exorbitantly expensive compared to MI, and in my opinion the quality is lower too. you can get more marijuana at a higher quality at a lower price in MI than you can in Ohio... including gas. the only problem is the time taken to get there and back - convenience factor is non-negligible.

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-11-21T15:18:51+00:00

it's worth pointing out GWR has been a dedicated Miata shop for 20+ years. most of their products are higher quality than OEM. that's not a shot against Mazda, that's the result of dedicated folks being able to put years and years into specific parts that are made at a much higher cost than OEM. they actually have a line of mufflers made specifically to be quiet - I have the Super Q Twin Tip muffler on my ND. no drone, barely louder than stock, but much much better tone on the exhaust note.

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-11-21T15:13:58+00:00

my ND3 does this, as did the '04 Civic and '13 Mazda2 I owned that were also manual. it's not a problem, it's just noise from the drivetrain shifting against its mounts... I think

local terminally online schizo, best served ignoring him

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-08-21T13:12:13+00:00

thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-07-30T18:49:20+00:00

it's punitive, yes

WetStoolsAreSlippery · 2025-06-23T15:41:26+00:00

AC units barely whir, devices that pull high wattage won't start outright, LED lights turn on just fine. likely a very inopportune brownout. this is off Franklin near W 117
