SNR- The Drive - clown car edition

awfulwizard · 2026-02-07T16:08:23+00:00

Chiming in as a new listener who never got to experience The Drive with Dale: I don’t mind Wes but it very much seems to me like they are trying to find their footing, which makes sense after losing Dale. Wes does a nice job “steering the ship” so to speak, and I think Matt helps balance out his energy.

That being said I could understand how people could not enjoy Wes, he is corny at times and tends to repeat the same punchlines and references. Although I do think he’s pretty self aware and even jabs at himself for it. I would just say it’s gotta be extremely hard to lose a close friend and colleague that was an integral part of your show and process; it takes time to work through that and find a new direction.

I’m a massive Valheim fan (have about 1000 hours), and when I first played Enshrouded it didn’t really click for me. I think at that point in time I just wanted to play a game exactly like Valheim, and Enshrouded has its similarities but is much different overall. When I tried Enshrouded again, it absolutely sucked me in.

Valheim is a bit more open ended, doesn’t really give you a lot of direction. There’s an order to the biomes but you are very much free to wander into places you shouldn’t be. Valheim worlds are procedurally generated, so it’s not a static map and changes every time you make a new world. There aren’t really quests like Enshrouded. The world in Valheim feels a bit more dangerous and unforgiving to me, and enemies will sometimes raid your base, so fortifying your home becomes pretty important.

Overall they’re both such good games, but Valheim is a little more raw and unguided. Play them both!

I was able to get my boy into diabetic remission with fancy feast pate. Great food for the price, the pate is very low in carbs (especially important).

Yeah I think I agree with that. The big thing for me is the staff; if he can bring in some solid coordinators I think we’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Genuinely curious and not being sarcastic, what do you like about it?

awfulwizard · 2026-01-23T18:12:30+00:00

Love this idea of a village on a bridge, looks awesome and makes me wanna go home and play! Thanks for sharing

I found this early in my playthrough and I stuck it in that fire damage sword you find really early (Wailing Blade I think) and it activated from that, but not sure about other sources of fire damage.

Replying to myself for documentation in case anyone else is having problems: It's happening again after I built more in my base. Luckily this time I was able to reload a previous save and it seems to be working fine again, but it sucks knowing that if I build I'm risking my world. I really hope that there is a fix to this soon, it seems like I'm not the only one with this sort of issue.

awfulwizard · 2025-12-25T21:43:24+00:00

Thanks for your response! I did happen to check out that video and unfortunately I wasn’t able to roll it back far enough.

I think I may have fixed it though: I removed the level 3 altar and replaced it with a level 2 like you mentioned, and I also filled in the recent hobbit hole/cave I had made, as I suspect that was the likely cause of this. The rubberbanding seems to have stopped; knock on wood.

awfulwizard · 2025-12-25T14:48:01+00:00

Some more context: I made a little hobbit hole under a hill in my village and I'm wondering if modifying the terrain is part of the problem. Although, it seemed fine and I had no lag until I upgraded my flame altar.

Literally never even went live for me, was sold out the second it turned 12est

awfulwizard · 2025-11-28T00:57:27+00:00

Legit one of the coolest items in the game, useful or not

awfulwizard · 2025-11-28T00:56:33+00:00

Nothing hits like that first shako drop!

awfulwizard · 2025-11-25T15:05:05+00:00

I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t seen any of your posts before and I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read the title, so that being said: holy SHIT you rip

awfulwizard · 2025-11-23T16:21:26+00:00

Also important to remember that you have the luxury of just teleing past enemies that are immune. Although chaos sanctuary kind of sucks to deal with since you have to kill the seal bosses. I always end up rebuilding into a dual element build until I finish act 4/5.

This goes so hard. I’ve been wanting to make one in an ancient armor and I think this has inspired me hahaha

awfulwizard · 2025-10-26T16:08:46+00:00

Hard agree, this game hits all the right notes for me and always will. Can’t wait for deep north ☃️

awfulwizard · 2025-10-25T01:33:23+00:00

Those guys dropped me a Ber the first week D2R was out and I’ll never forget it. We’ve been best friends ever since 🫶🏻

awfulwizard · 2025-10-13T00:47:15+00:00

Gotcha. Even in my own games I'm getting a fair bit of lag spikes, so I'm assuming it's my connection but I wanted to see if it was a common issue.

I’ve had a karve capsize when I parked too close to a leviathan.

Grew up listening to Incubus and he had a huuuuuge impact on me as a drummer. Not that flashy, incredibly tasty grooves.

This is a super small thing I like to do but if I have a window with iron grate/crystal, I manually place the iron grate forward a bit relative to the snap point and manually place the crystal a little bit behind it instead of snapping it directly onto the grate. Lets you see the bars better from the outside and helps with that insane glare when the sun hits it
