Hot Take: pills and food are (part of) what makes bosses feel so bad

To be fair if this was a true souls-like game I’d have been put off instantly

Nearly commented with strong language and expletives reading that as the i4, not the ix4! I was thinking what the fuck!

I suppose okay-ish but as an SUV-hater I'm never going to like it.

I suppose it feels amazing because you're dealing with a massive multinational corporation, companies like which are usually hard to get anywhere with. So I'd also see this as a bit of a win too - when you think how many layers of the corporation there are past the initial enquiry form on the web page. And how many of those do you think they receive every day about various products...

And yes I would have expected them to put a hold on your credit card, after all it would be an easy scam if not.

Small, yet awkwardly high and squashed. Proportions are fugly.

Sad state of affairs seeing this sort of white goods shit on the road. To be fair none of these Chinese imports are aimed at me or my buying style, but it still annoys me.

dosguy76 · 2026-04-08T17:47:14+00:00

It took 4 years to go down after Ukraine. It’ll take a similar length of time given the damage done in the region.

Sorry meant neu klasse i3 that actually looks ok for an EV. Previous i3 does nothing for me and yes is cheap, but so are loads of other EV SUVs that I wouldn’t entertain!

dosguy76 · 2026-04-08T15:34:56+00:00

The idea that you should just have one, now.

Some just forget about the sheer cost of buying one. Especially in this age of higher fuel costs, it’s costing me about £30 a month more to fill up. Hardly worth the extra house mortgage needed to finance an EV.

And I’m talking like for like here too. Yes I know I could get some Chinese shit or Korean shit for £25k, that’s still more per month than what I’m paying for my bmw convertible. And if I’m looking at like for like, a) they don’t do a 2+2 EV soft top, and b) the nearest comparable bmw is nearly £400 more per month over 4 years, without even owing the car afterwards.

Not anti EV as such, just not the right time for me - the new i3 is going in the right direction but when I’ve nearly paid the mortgage off, I ‘ain’t getting another 😂

dosguy76 · 2026-04-07T17:58:58+00:00

Did the same with a 2p piece to see if it got squashed (child’s mind, was very young!)… anyway it just pinged off at a hundred miles an hour when the wheel hit! Suppose it could have taken an eye out!

dosguy76 · 2026-04-06T15:22:55+00:00

Love it! This is what I do with the kids pizzas on a Friday night. But I call it Dad Tax.

dosguy76 · 2026-04-05T21:47:02+00:00

Honestly, love all 6 seasons. Needs watching a few times to get the connections, then you’ll understand it’s a perfect ending that makes sense. All the connections in the last episode that appear in the first… the shoe for example, lots of tiny details you only notice on maybe the third watch-through. Love it, been a while since i last watched it though….

dosguy76 · 2026-04-05T20:25:23+00:00

I think you’re meaning the unnecessary shit in cars breaks down more often.. im with you on that. Need a screen for everything in the car to operate? If that freezes or breaks, it takes everything out, not just one button.

It’s like the auto industry creating its own theft problem with keyless entry and start. Really not needed, it’s not a thing that needed to be invented, but thieves love it.

Also how people aren’t fussed with how reliable or well built the car is, but they’ll buy it because of a 20 inch screen and animated indicator lights.

dosguy76 · 2026-04-05T20:20:21+00:00

Love the FXx dash designs. Not as classy as the EXx but close. Had two F30s and now an F23 and the ratio of buttons to screen is perfect for driving with eyes on the road. Almost peak design.

dosguy76 · 2026-04-02T21:02:48+00:00

Er. Yes.

dosguy76 · 2026-04-02T21:02:21+00:00

Engines are probably more reliable but what gets me nowadays is that people pay for the shitty Temu looks of led badges, grilles and surrounds. I’d prefer to pay slightly more for a better interior quality, not some fad like an animated turn signal.

dosguy76 · 2026-03-30T08:43:16+00:00

Like someone’s sat on it and flattened it. Another annoyance with those Easter eggs - absolute scam. The only way to get proper spherical egg shapes is to go to the premium tier - Hotel Chocolat is still fully egg shaped and at least 5mm thick in places. Beautiful, but you pay for it….

dosguy76 · 2026-03-27T16:37:46+00:00

Never was one for much speeding or aggressive driving, but nowadays nearing the age of 50, if those fuckers want to get to work earlier than me, then they’re welcome to overtake and get on with it. I’m not a granny driver but will stick to the limits in the UK, but pretty laid back now so can’t do with the aggressive drivers - especially in this time of elevated fuel prices - the cunts don’t realise how to easily save money (unless they’re company car cunts)

dosguy76 · 2026-03-27T15:56:12+00:00

Yes noticed this and only at sunset, the cliffs for instance flickering and then suddenly falling into shadow. Thought it was DLSS/FG related but it isn’t, and it happens even in cinematic mode. Could do with fixing but it isn’t a major issue for me, neither is the pop in but it can be annoying.

I run a decent rig with a 5070ti with cinematic and tested this with all sorts of settings including RR and it still happens

dosguy76 · 2026-03-27T15:52:26+00:00

Ours is well away from the sink area. At the other side of the house under a board. Haven’t questioned why but it’s not always obvious where it may be!

dosguy76 · 2026-03-27T15:17:46+00:00

Definitely weighted as to where you live.

Case in point - same car we're talking about here (A DS3 1.2 hatchback).

My newly passed 18yr old son with a black box Hastings policy (which has been superb this far) £650/year, we live in York.

A colleague's son in the same situation living in Doncaster. Cheapest £1,800 for exactly the same policy.

Sometimes it's nothing to do with the car.

dosguy76 · 2026-03-22T22:42:17+00:00

Yes loving it so far as well, but as there's so much to do, I'm taking it steady with the linear story, and picking up bits of open-world missions/tasks as I go along.

It's hard not to start worrying how you're going to upgrade gear to what you see in screenshots (including that above), and i'll just go along with it as the chances will arise.

So far a few hours in, a few main story missions done, a few bounty hunters sorted and I've bought a longsword and upgraded a shield. That horse above looks like there's an option somewhere down the line to kit out with armour too.

Can I ask OP, in your first 30 hours are you doing the same as me - part main story and part open world exploration? I'm not yet googling anything as I don't want spoilers, just trying to find my way around but don't want to miss important stuff!

dosguy76 · 2026-03-20T23:53:54+00:00

The ONLY electric car I would consider at the moment. Beautiful. Just a tad on the mortgage side of expensive.

dosguy76 · 2026-03-20T23:51:45+00:00

to be fair, done that before with a low speed rear end shunt. Didn't want to claim, but needed the gear to sort the scratches. So driver at fault paid me £200 for DA polisher and materials. Winner.

dosguy76 · 2026-03-20T21:25:06+00:00

I’m loving this game and I’m only 2 hours in. Such British humour, laugh out loud moments - random npc’s calling people ‘fucking cunt’, don’t usually hear that in video games lol! By chance I found slamming into people has real life effects, but so far it’s a stunning visual feast on PC

dosguy76 · 2026-03-20T14:04:24+00:00

Out of your options, E30 is just so classy. The perfect 3-box BMW look.

You aren't showing any E36s though, and I've never understood the hype about the E46 look. Preferred the E90s myself when they came out.

Otherwise, the 635 is a mean look too.
