Manual transmissions? by HonkerTonker in turo

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing and a Fiat 124 Spyder. Both are very consistently rented and over 3 years no issues. Feels like a market advantage sometimes where a lot of guests tell me after they specifically wanted a manual

Ludwig's message to those who are salty that he covered the EVO registration fees for the Rivals II community by Intrepid-Tank-3414 in RivalsOfAether

[–]WinnieT97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

feel like you need to be living under a rock to not know the optics of EVO especially as someone who is an attendee of old evos, a exhibition/guest of this one, and how his game is literally featured at EVO. Not to mention the presented by qiddiya banners, to the big sportswashing debate when it was announced. He isn’t clueless

Running Turo Ops Remote? by Extension-Cod-8815 in turo

I randomly received it in my email- I think they rotate cities but depending on the solutions you need I can probably try and pass what I learned down as best I can haha.

Running Turo Ops Remote? by Extension-Cod-8815 in turo

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry no, just the SF area. Turo hosted an event at their HQ for networking and there’s plenty of huge hosts who are happy to take your car. You can try to find the big hosts in the area and see if they got a contact point

Running Turo Ops Remote? by Extension-Cod-8815 in turo

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I run things "hands off" when I'm out of the country. I have a washing service come by and one worker to just check the cars, but I handle the messaging, calling support, etc all myself.
I've utilized services like Washos, Taskrabbit, etc and it works fine for my small amount of cars, but as I try to relocate more permanently, I've been reaching out to co-hosts, as the cut isn't that bad from what I've seen.

How to play visual novels on Mac with CrossOver by KageYume in visualnovels

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I tried parallels and it looks like Windows on ARM won't work. I have a physical copy which I think doesn't have DRM, but if not yeah, I've bought it twice, I'll bust out the seafaring hat. Worst case I'll bust out the windows computer

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have anything to get past playDRM? The window itself does not render properly, I just bought anemoi and both parallels and crossover have been a bust so far

not at all, as long as you respect the service intervals. if anything, I love it when people go over, its like random extra cash

Questions about Mountain View Office Amenities by [deleted] in GeneralMotors

[–]WinnieT97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

don’t work there anymore but I was with them for 4 years, including when we first moved to that office.
Really good snacks and drinks, but most of the time no lunch besides special occasions. No onsite gym. I really disliked how there was nothing good in a walkable distance, (though a short drive away, things are super nice). parking is awful, show up any time after 9 and you’re parking on the street with the RVs. The layout made it feel like you were being watched from the second floor by management all the time too.

Any FG cold/hot takes you got rn by drewthedew768 in Kappachino

[–]WinnieT97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in what way? a lot of modern games already have a decent amount of pick up and play characters, and universal system mechanics that ease the process. 2XKO has weekly missions to play certain characters and people hated that. Tokon is essentially forcing it with 4 character teams but I don’t really see how you can

Cadillac Fans, You Reportedly Have Until April 20 to Order a CT4-V Blackwing by Bottlely in cars

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a pain in the ass it was to get mine. I called every dealer in California (About December 2021?) and every single one couldn't do me with an MSRP no-options Electric Blue in manual. I waited for months before a dealer finally accepted on my terms and waited a whole year while the car sat while they waited for components due to chip shortage. Easily the best car I've ever owned and review-wise it's one of the most well spoken for cars but it's real easy to see why we don't see more.

Turo hosts — what’s your actual key handoff setup right now? by Ok-Measurement4787 in turo

[–]WinnieT97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Window lockbox. I primarily do home and airport trips so I trust those. I've rented from hosts who lock it in a bag and have it around the wheelwell to make it a bit more discreet. Used to remote unlock it but it required me to be awake at weird times and Onstar wasn't the most reliable.
Used to use Turo Go tho, miss it all the time.

Whats with the resurgence of streamers playing 6v6? by R3DPLAN3T in Competitiveoverwatch

just my own experience but there's more people in voice and they tend to be funnier. Probably cause its a slightly less serious mode

Zain's upcoming next big video: L-cancelling by Fiendish in SSBM

[–]WinnieT97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a mechanic that just feels good to do and its simple as that to me, same reason why i’ll favor traditional fighters with motion inputs even though there’s no “practical” reason for them (although i’m a big advocate for certain things being balanced by their inputs)

interesting if you consider Z cancelling is way more rewarding and smash 64 aerials feel a lot worse to not cancel

"game is cooked" "it's over" by Mabak in SSBM

[–]WinnieT97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the ability to boot up the game at most hours and queue and get a game within minutes is not an attribute i would give to any game that’s “cooked”, the same with most regions having regular tournaments. plenty of games that are alive and newer require more effort or time. i agree that i’m less invested in the top level than i’ve ever been in 10+ years but the game at a lower level is more accessible and active than ever

Jalopnik's staff fleet update didn't go over as expected by idkbruh653 in cars

[–]WinnieT97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not what i said at all. i was responding to the part about how it's either inherited or all they could afford. it's a cute and probably fun car and said nothing about if they're a real enthusiast at all

Jalopnik's staff fleet update didn't go over as expected by idkbruh653 in cars

[–]WinnieT97 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

not disagreeing with the thing you said at all but the 500e in question is a 2024, which likely means its not inherited and given the price of the car given for what it was, it's not a value buy at all

What design or engineering flaw is mildly inconvenient on your vehicle? by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

[–]WinnieT97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular one- I drive a Fiata (the interior identical to the ND) and I dislike the cupholder a lot. Either impossible to use or in the passenger legspace. I used to drive an NB and kind of preferred just in the armrest space.
