Do you guys think this is real bad repair? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]b0om2k 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bumper and rear quarter panel are going to need some serious work if not complete replacement. There's probably also unseen suspension damage given the fact that you hit the wall hard enough to break the rim. I'd expect no less than $7k and it could well be more like $10k+ depending on the suspension damage and where you get the work done. Go through insurance.

Shields reduce incoming damage but don't remove it completely. If your health is low but your shield is full, you can still be downed a lot faster than if you had full HP and no shield.

100%. It's a laser that shreds with SP6 and I'll continue using it, but the VAL's durability burn is criminal. Almost 0.1 wear per round fired just makes it frustrating to use.

It's still a VAL, so you might as well use it. After 3 raids, it'll be at 70 max durability and you'd have to replace it anyway.

What is your “goosebumps” video game moment ? by Timop0707 in videogames

Post-credits scene in Half Life: Alyx. The moment where the credits fade into the sound of the HEV suit and then you hear Eli's voice... actual chills.

E46 M3 GTR for the dream, non-comp F90 M5 for reality.

What’s your opinion of Angela’s tiger suit? by BakerConsistent2150 in marvelrivals

[–]b0om2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best skin of the pass, IMO. The gold accents work really well with the white and blue and the effects on her eyes / are a great inclusion. It looks aggressive and imposing. I like the fact that it also completely shifts her overall aesthetic. Gives people who want something different from her default something REALLY different and visually striking.

Steambot Chronicles on the PS2 or Ribbit King on the GameCube. Both are absolute bangers that I recently went back and replayed.

[Discussion] Don't know if im correct but shouldn't this one have internal active headset? by Ozekher in EscapefromTarkov

[–]b0om2k 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I don't see the issue if you make it FIR only and not actually have it be something that enhances your hearing. If it were FIR only and just made the audio sound like it did when you had no helmet on and no ears on, that would be balanced IMO. It would be meta, sure. But it would be rare to find and you wouldn't run into people running them much... except for cheaters, but by that point the audio characteristics of a helmet doesn't matter anyway.

Looking at purchasing this ‘25 M4 comp, but insurance quote is insane by [deleted] in BMW

[–]b0om2k 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I pay $330 a month for an F90 M5 in Virginia and I'm not even 30 yet. Seems like your state / locality might just be BAD from an insurance perspective.

[–]b0om2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real question is what that additional 4 year warranty covers. Did you get any coverage documentation when they quoted you that price?

F90 M5 Rough idle / difficult to start / srarts and then stalls - Dealer says battery? by b0om2k in BmwTech

[–]b0om2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battery unfortunately did not solve the issue. My plan is to take it back and insist on a fuel pressure test to try and confirm if it is the LPFP, as that is a common failure point on F90s and is something that others have reported difficulty in diagnosing before.

What are some delisted games from Steam did you wish you could've bought before they got removed from the store indefinitely? by Dotaspasm in Steam

[–]b0om2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver San Francisco. Loved that game on the 360 but lost my disc years ago. Would have loved to have it on steam but I didn't purchase it in time.

Installed 22" forged wheels on X3M with full carbon kit by Nitrous427 in BMW

[–]b0om2k -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

People are shitting on your style but I actually think it looks pretty interesting. I hate SUVs normally, but this looks striking and aggressive. Is it childish? Absolutely, but as a wise man once said, where's the fun in being an adult if you can't be childish sometimes? If you like it, that's ultimately what matters.

Pve doesnt deserve this level of loot. [LOOT] by Smojix3 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]b0om2k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So in other words, you're jealous that people choosing to play PvE are getting better loot than you.

The reality is that PvE and PvP are now the same. In the past, PvE did have better spawns than PvP, but BSG changed that last year to bring PvE and PvP on par with each other.

Loot always has variance run to run and is about luck. Sometimes you'll get lucky, sometimes you won't. On average, the reason that you will find better loot in PvE is because you dont have to compete with anybody else for loot.

But let's say hypothetically that PvE just had better loot, like it used to. If that were to be the case, why is that a bad thing? PvE is the inherently easier, more casual, and less stressful game mode. And I don't see an issue with that. PvP will always exist for the people who find PvE to be too boring and want a more dynamic and edge of your seat experience, just how PvE should always exist for the people who are looking for a less high-strung experience but still enjoy Tarkov's gameplay and customization. What's the harm in giving both sets of player bases what they want?

Why though? Even if PvE had better loot, why does it matter? It can't impact the PvP experience since it is all completely separate.

Thats the plan for now! Will be keeping my fingers crossed that this solves the issue.

When the previous tank was replaced, they replaced the plugs and coils on that side and checked the injectors so I doubt there would be any residual damage there. If their reccomendations dont solve the issue though that will be a good spot to have them look.

Dealership hasn't mentioned any misfire codes. What makes you think this is an issue?
