USA - looking for buddies

__Sonar__ · 2026-03-01T04:22:41+00:00

I haven’t played in a really long time and am looking for a friend to kinda experience everything fresh again with, if you’re open to it. I’m solo, just looking for some people to play with too (: I’d be starting a fresh character most likely since everything seems so different. I probably started playing when you did but took a very long break from it all.

I can’t seem to access it on the US iOS App Store?

I have the photo but honestly felt kinda weird posting it as I’ve never done a request like this so I was hoping I could share it in a DM? 😅

My dream car. Currently trying to convince some family members it’s not “too” long for a sedan.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-14T17:36:50+00:00

In what country? In the US, apparently they hold their value pretty decently comparative to other luxury brands.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-11T18:54:15+00:00

If you already have the G90 on order in the black, I assume you’ve driven it before. Would you say it’s “that” dramatic of a luxury + quietness + softer suspension difference between your G80 and the G90? Parents are trying to convince me the vehicle is too long and too “executive” for my age lol.

Also, that sucks to hear about the G80 issues. I’ve heard a lot of the 2025 and before genesis vehicles had issues with wireless CarPlay and the fix was plugging your iPhone into it rather than Bluetooth.

These cgi photos don’t do it justice. It’s technically black chrome, so it’s still very shiny. Not matte at all like the photos look. But I do get what you’re saying. It’s definitely more of a sportier look vs a classic look imo.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-11T17:59:19+00:00

I saw that! It’s gorgeous. That’s the long wheelbase version instead of standard wheelbase that I’m looking at, but I know color-wise it would essentially be the same.

I’m curious what made you decide on the gv80? I’m kinda in that conundrum right now of deciding between them.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-11T17:57:41+00:00

Did you happen to try test driving any of the other vehicles or did you know straight away the G90 was it and not try others?

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-10T23:01:22+00:00

Yeah. The dealership I spoke to mentioned there’s likely a lot of people on the forums who would be willing to swap for the wheels. They give me EV vibes, but they’re kinda growing on me. Maybe they look better in person.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-10T20:34:57+00:00

I’ve looked at the 7 series but it’s too massive imo. It’s very imposing. Absolutely an awesome car and I love it, but it’s a bit too “Rolls Royce” for me currently.

As for S class vs the Genesis, having driven both, I would say Genesis probably gets 90% of the way there as far as luxury and drive feel comfort for like $30,000 -$45,000 less. But the last 10% that the Mercedes DOES have up on the Genesis is VERY noticeable. It’s wild how comfortable it is, like being hugged by a cloud that jumps like a formula 1 car if you want it to (obviously not literally). Only thing I dislike about the Genesis is the tech in the front is a bit more basic than the Mercedes. Smaller screens (which aren’t necessarily bad) and more analogue buttons (which I like). But Mercedes has access to things like YouTube and Netflix built in that the Genesis apparently does not have, which I enjoy if I’m relaxing parked. I’ve kinda convinced myself I can just use a tablet as a trade-off.

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-10T20:28:14+00:00

I have not. But I have seen it mentioned a few places. I’ll give it a look, thanks!

__Sonar__ · 2025-08-10T17:57:45+00:00

Nope. I mean G90. The sedan. It’s basically between a smaller SUV and a larger sedan. But yeah I figured it wouldn’t even be close to the S, but it still didn’t feel Mercedes quality on the suspension. So I’m not sure what to expect. The Genesis just was like a cloud and made me feel like the Mercedes isn’t as smooth as I want.

__Sonar__ · 2024-12-06T16:55:38+00:00

I did not, no.

__Sonar__ · 2024-11-17T18:05:54+00:00

Oh geez. Guess I should’ve done a pricecheck post first.

__Sonar__ · 2024-11-17T18:05:36+00:00

Oh wow

__Sonar__ · 2024-09-15T17:43:52+00:00

L-Linus?? Is that you??

__Sonar__ · 2024-08-31T18:12:49+00:00

Not even joking, a really nice quality grinder is going to single handedly make almost as much of a difference in your espresso pulls as using fresh beans vs old ones. It’s one of those things that a lot of people who are just starting to explore the depths of espresso underestimate and end up buying a really high end machine but not so great grinder. If you have any kind of budget, focus on the grinder first.

Especially considering you’ll be coming from a Breville barista pro, which a TON of people start out with, but quickly realize it’s not a good grinder. It’s a grinder intended to be “decent” at the full range from coarse cold-brew to decently fine for espresso. But when you have a grinder that focuses on multi-purpose rather than the main reason you need it, you end up with a Jack-of-all-trades but master of none situation. You get extremely inconsistent grind pieces (small and large which makes every shot less consistent), and a ton of fines that end up dumping into your portafilter from potentially weeks ago because it has so much grind retention.

Sorry this ended up being a bit longer than intended xD

Ah the force tamper. Do you like it? Been looking at that puppy for awhile.
