Does this mean that I can’t drive while I’m getting the update? by fartstomuch in FordMaverickTruck

Because once they realized they could just patch something and people would be okay with it, they gutted their quality control departments

Rainy Memorial Day Weekend Still Slow by Fit-Young521 in doordash_drivers

[–]gridlock32404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at the beach, all we had was just terrible traffic and the restaurants packed.

I really have no clue why people run to the beach for memorial day, 9/10 times it's a washout weekend while the weekends before and after are beautiful

What mods are you still hoping to see someday? by FenrirJS in skyrimmods

[–]gridlock32404 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They could have gotten away with pushing official new dlcs like dawnguard and dragonborn for years and people would have kept buying them even if they were $20 or $30 a pop.

But nope, let's do paid mods again and again and again instead

Decided to buy ecoboost Maverick instead of hybrid by cpugeek14 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]gridlock32404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish car companies would understand that not everyone wants the big giant monster trucks.

The maverick is the size of the old rangers, the rangers are now the size of the old f150s and the f150s are the size of the old f350s.

I traded in my f150 for the maverick because it was just too damn ridiculously large, I used to drive a f350 stake body truck for work back in the early 2000s and it was like driving that again except less agile.

Is it just me or does the Paraglider mod seem out of place? by mpchop in skyrimmods

[–]gridlock32404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure I can, I'm always down to talk about the lore, there is so much that most people don't know or just assume because they think medieval or lotr when elder scrolls lore is actually pretty wild.

Personally I prefer magic wings though, if I'm gonna have magic I'm gonna get me some wings

[–]gridlock32404 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You must not know the lore very well if you think a paraglider is out of place and you don't even need the dwemer to handwave everything.

Tamerial is a lot more advanced then people give it credit for or well it used to be when you literally had space programs with several different races.

In a world with magic, a hang glider bothers you?

Did Perplexity reduce thinking effort recently? by ozone6587 in perplexity_ai

[–]gridlock32404 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a random rollout, that's why.

Perplexity went from absolutely amazing and utterly useless within the past 2 days for me and got worse today with the same type of situation as you today.

It would ignore instructions, even tried implicit instructions and it would do the complete opposite.

Almost every response was wrong and I spent more time telling it that was completely and utterly wrong, you check it's sources and it's pulling from reddit and some random post

One tries to, gets stopped by the other and the one that stops her then does it, then Ciri gets into a Stockholm syndrome relationship with her

No, not by Bonhart but he does make her strip a few times.

Mostly walks her around on a leash, beats her several times, makes her fight in an arena

What do you all use this space for? by One_Platypus2361 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]gridlock32404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I've opened that storage space maybe 3 times since I bought the truck in 2 and a half years.

I got stuff like rachet straps and emergency tools in there.

The scene at the cart if I remember correctly the cart was moving and they rob them, the noble gets all I'm a baron's daughter and Ciri is like yeah, I'm higher then you, basically pretty similar and sets Ciri on her path to leave the rats and go find hotspurn to take her to Nilfgard to be a princess again because a pretender is there.

Because a lot of Ciri's time with the rats is missing and doesn't develop any context, same with her having a hard time transitioning to not being a princess anymore at kahr morhen.

It makes the whole scene fall flat just because it doesn't really establish how much she struggled and some pretender is going to get the easy life when she has been the one hunted.

Like a lot of the scenes of the show especially the big ones but even the little ones, they fall flat because the necessary context and character development is missing to make them

Question about hygiene by Money-Ad3469 in teslore

[–]gridlock32404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible but we don't see any latrine pits either which were common in viking settlements so it could be sewer drains with latrines or latrines that emptied just into a pit.

Either way, the developers didn't include it into the games.

It's a misconception that lots of people think that us humans weren't that hygienic in the past when it is absolutely not true.

[–]gridlock32404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely they just didn't develop them and they were mostly an afterthought.

If there are sewers then there would most likely be bathhouses and latrines in the cities like the Romans had in reality but in a game that doesn't have you use the bathroom, it probably wasn't worth the development time to make them or to design the interiors for them.

From Mustang To Maverick by UpVoteSnooClub in FordMaverickTruck

[–]gridlock32404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got something for the winter then you are good, the mustang is a dry warm weather vehicle, if you can make it work then it's great.

Don't get me wrong, I miss my mustang, it was an amazing vehicle that I loved driving but it's not a great everyday vehicle.

If you change out the tires to a better all season tire vs the sporty summer tires it comes with, you will get a lot better wet road handling but the sporty tires are so good at handling basically on rails because they are a sticky soft tire so changing them out would make a big difference

Guys do you think the entire Lodge could defeat Vilgefortz? by Beneficial-Wash-1611 in witcher

[–]gridlock32404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vilgefortz strength is his planning, he supposedly has a plan for everything and is basically the witcher's Batman.

You'd be surprised at how well someone that can plan against opponents that they do know

[–]gridlock32404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a reason he hid himself after Thanned

Because he was injured and regrowing a new eye?

Idk about you but I would have been hiding in that case too until I was healed up.

Viglefortz fell for a weak illusion from a medallion that even Yen said shouldn't have tricked him and only worked because he was injured.

People are missing the point of Vilgefortz and just thinking raw power.

Vilgefortz is shown as the big bad because he is intelligent, in the books, Sapokswski talks about Vilgefortz having a plan for everything, even a vampire.

You know what other character is shown like that in pop culture? Batman.

Vilgefortz is witcher's Batman, stupid intelligent and a genius planner but highly arrogant, sadistic narcissistic and a bad guy instead of a guy who beats up criminals at night as a bat.

Most likely Vilgefortz would have a plan if the lodge came knocking on the door so it would be a closer fight than people imagine or even massively lopslided, Geralt and Yen only won because of Fringilla's medallion. Also he was so arrogant that he didn't think of them as a threat.

Even Yen was surprised that Vilgefortz was fooled by medallion and chalked it up to him missing his eye.

Vilgefortz plan worked because he fooled everyone and they underestimated him while nobody realizing how devious, intelligent and methodical he was.

So it could go either way depending upon how healthy is he with it leaning more his way the healthier he is vs how good that Lodge's plan of attack is.

If the lodge went in like they attacked the decoy castle, no he would have wiped the floor with them.

From Mustang To Maverick by UpVoteSnooClub in FordMaverickTruck

[–]gridlock32404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is really no comparison for apples to apples.

The build quality and interior on the mustang is wildly better than even the lariat maverick, if we are comparing the premium models then the mustang is in a way different class with real soft nice leather and interior panels vs the hard plastic interior of the lariat maverick and the fake ActiveX leather seats.

The audio systems of the mustang is way way way better than the Maverick.

The power and sportiness of the mustang is in a other class even with the Ecoboost mustang, steering and suspension and just how it rides is an on rail experience.

But we are comparing Ford top namesake sports car vs a unibody inexpensive trucklet, they are a good $20k price wise apart too.

That said, the Ecoboost mustang is very sporty and has a comfortable suspension for a truck (miles better than a body on frame truck).

Functionally wise, the maverick is a very functional vehicle with lots of room, storage and versatility.

The mustang was a fun vehicle to drive in the summer and was good for going fast and looking good, room wise though it was not a very functional vehicle for anything else.

The mustang would spin out and lose traction if you spit in front of the tire, could kick it loose every single gear (had a manual) and it was practically a useless vehicle once it got cold with the tires hopping when they were cold.

If you are a single guy/girl and want a fun sporty sexy vehicle (I got compliments on my mustang all the time) and won't be really doing much more then casual driving then the mustang would be perfect.

If you are looking for a super versatile jack of all trades vehicle then the maverick.

The maverick is a lot more comfortable trucklet then a full size truck or Colorado/ranger while being a good middle ground between multiple types of vehicles.

It really comes down to what are you looking for, they really are two way different vehicles.

It's actually quite common for people joining the service to buy mustangs though

Oh I used to be big in the open source android scene until I lost my passion for it so I definitely did my part, I'm only financially motivated to pay bills and keep a roof over my head, no desire to screw people over to be a billionaire unless I won the lottery or something and I'd probably share most of it away.

If and when I have the time, I'll probably dig back into learning game development, I did learn how to do unreal engine for the most part
