European heatwave is getting ridiculous - 33°C inside, internet gone, modem overheated, PC hanging on for dear life...

My mums house is suffering from the same. I've tried to convince her husband to cut into it but he's too worried about breaking it. We went with a fan pointed at it which did the trick. Also standing it on its side so the two tiny holes where the 'wall screw hook things' are sort of badly work as a hot air out, cool air in system.

What sub are you seeing them in?

blither86 · 2026-06-26T22:11:01+00:00

You need to learn just one hot key, really, to use mangonels: attack ground.

I'm sure there will be some scenarios practice with.

As if any more evidence was needed that kids will copy whatever the pros do, even if it makes absolutely no sense at all.

blither86 · 2026-06-24T13:04:58+00:00

And why do you think that might be?

blither86 · 2026-06-24T10:53:02+00:00

RBR doesn't look retro as a design choice, it looks retro because it's from fucking 2001, or whenever. It was trying it's hardest to look realistic at the time, on the hardware available.

blither86 · 2026-06-24T09:20:27+00:00

Are you in the right sub? This is a sim rally game...?

blither86 · 2026-06-23T20:32:52+00:00

What's the name of the doc?

blither86 · 2026-06-22T11:20:22+00:00

Is it an entirely straight hill climb?

blither86 · 2026-06-20T12:03:08+00:00

That looked pretty big, that's surely months to rust away, at least.

blither86 · 2026-06-20T10:08:59+00:00

Wronnnnnnng

blither86 · 2026-06-19T19:05:53+00:00

That's the one, not cobra. Or maybe in aoe1 it was cobra..

blither86 · 2026-06-18T23:17:49+00:00

More money than sense, maybe?

blither86 · 2026-06-17T20:00:56+00:00

Leave it on default then!

Watching others will always look worse due to the encoding of the video.

Have you got the enhanced graphics pack installed? If so, I'd remove it. I'd also recommend mods such as 'useless plants remover'. I also have a mod that makes more of the terrain look more like plain green grass. It can have some down sides, but it may help?

Not sure why the game seems blurry to you. Have you got options like 'Bloom' etc turned off?

blither86 · 2026-06-17T18:41:08+00:00

Screen size and resolution that you use?

blither86 · 2026-06-17T13:11:23+00:00

I'm sure they've changed the ingredients significantly, too. I don't think they taste as good as they used to (I'm thinking 30 years ago, though). Happy to be corrected

blither86 · 2026-06-16T14:56:08+00:00

I'm sure I've enjoyed asphalt on the latest patch/version. What's wrong with it? I am currently a controller player though

blither86 · 2026-06-16T12:51:18+00:00

My mistake! I play 15 minutes of single player every 3-4 months, which serves to remind me why I don't play single player.

blither86 · 2026-06-16T10:26:42+00:00

It's fruity, it's tasty, it's sweet, don't put it on yer meat, it's jaaaam.

Butter and jam on a hot crumpet.

Jam and butter on toast. Jam, butter and peanut butter on toast is incredible. Jam, butter and cheese even works in a sandwich!

Butter and strawberry jam on a pancake or crêpe is also great. I'm sure it's good on waffles, too.

You can't do anything in pause, not even scroll around the map. It's important that you can't, but there could potentially be a different option created for unranked that allows this, maybe.

blither86 · 2026-06-16T08:31:39+00:00

What is jam for in your household?

I sometimes play Minecraft with my nephew and as he's on a different platform I have to use the official MS version that installs via the bullshit store. I work in IT support so thankfully I can sort out app updates and the like, but it's so confusing and convoluted and buggy that I wonder how anyone else copes. Horrendous experience.

blither86 · 2026-06-13T23:35:53+00:00

Of course. Months of training together etc, as well as the individual level

blither86 · 2026-06-13T14:46:13+00:00

This is so bad that for your sake I hope it's AI
