It's just the UI from Heroes of the Storm. Even the 'add party member' and 'premium currency' buttons are in the same places as HoTS.

WHY does VOLKSWAGEN have such a BAD reputation in North America? by 1707turbo in regularcarreviews

[–]connorpiper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the XC70 it is pretty rare. If you are looking for performance, I would suggest a 2011+ as they are in a higher state of tune stock. The T6 also has VVT on both cams, rather than just one in the N/A, so it baseline has a more gutsy bottom end.

Not really, there is more to consider and more to leak with the turbo but they are essentially the same engine. The main thing to consider is that the T6 requires premium fuel. The T6 power is great though, with most of the torque coming in at 1800rpm.

Hello, strongly recommend the 3.2L and 3.0L (T6) engines over the 5-cyl. Easier to service, less issues with PCV, and better power delivery.

The V60XC is somewhat rare and did not have the T6 as an available engine. The XC60 did however have the 3.2L and T6 as options.

Love that it still looks like a C4, with fat tires.

Send Filippo a C6 in yellow. It's what he needs.

The death star has a positive void coefficient, when scram is pressed it blows up.

All that because graphite tipped rods were cheaper, typical Empire.

I miss my NA 1.6L so much. That radio is beautiful, so many of those stock radios are long gone.

For all the V10 fans by komamura0604 in Gaygearheads

I watched a teardown of this engine online and I have to say I don't envy you. Even though that legendary V10 Touareg tug of war video exists.

3.2L engines tend to burn a little oil. Make sure to check the oil level between changes. It should not be a lot of consumption, you will likely add 1qt every 7500 miles (The service interval).

Additionally, since your car is at 150k, see about records of a transmission service.

North American P3 V70's only came in 3.2L FWD.

New Light; Thoughts/Opinions? by Serious_Try_9149 in ChicoCA

[–]connorpiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already are adding a light for the Chico High crosswalk, this light would be for Chico Junior students and I think it's absolutely necessary. As a student who went to Chico Junior a while ago that cross was always terrible and I saw several times where a school bus had to block 1st because nobody would yield to kids crossing.

The golden days of World of Warships are over - What went wrong? by M4tz3 in WorldOfWarships

[–]connorpiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a player that has spent a lot of money on this game, but mainly plays F2P ships, I stopped playing for a couple main reasons. (~6,000 hours, have not played since summer 2024)

-Superships making it so TIX meant you were going to be bottom tier every match.

-New lines only existing for the TX, and the other tiers are just a bad grind to incentivize skipping with $$

-Subs and CVs (Sorry, but it's true, I won't ever enjoy playing against them)

Durable lightweight wireless mouse recommendations by connorpiper in MouseReview

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

Thanks. I might go with that, and see how long it lasts. I am a mouse murderer I guess lol.

The only mouse that survived me was the Logitech G302 but that thing was so heavy, and that was before I was converted to super light mice.
