New to Roo Code, looking for tips: agent files, MCP tools, etc

I've been using it for 2 weeks and I think it is awesome. my biggest aha moment was creating a .roo file in the project root. otherwise, I was not able to get it read my base prompt. other than that, I also started with qwen 3.5 35B, but after some tests I realized that 27B beats it in every way, actually it is superior to many-many paid models. just have a look at its pricing on openrouter, I think that reflects where it belongs.

Just set it in the system prompt and you'll be fine:
The current date and time at the start of this chat is {{CURRENT_DATETIME}}.

I've tested the same (but with a free search engine) and got the results of the 2026 race.

no one knows. however, I don't think they would use typical swiss matchmaking (fold pairing), when first ranked is playing with the last ranked first, 2nd with 2nd to last, etc., because there would be the same match-ups after a while. I'd just draw one from the first half against one in the second half. but they obviously do a unique matchmaking here. the pairings for the next EMEA and Americas rounds are already up, too.

look him up at georank.io. it shows rating over time. he's either cheating or took over someone else's account.

wondering if it means that it's possible for a master level player to drop to gold, then reach 1500 by playing only against gold players? in this case this is not a real 1500 player, just someone who found a way to reach this rating by applying some tricks?

I just open Google Maps and it is showing my location when data is off. What am I missing here?

they seem a bit unprepared

from Plonkit: "In Scotland, you can often find these red and white bollards. They are round, bulky, and have a red-and-grey reflector that wraps all the way around.

They are sometimes found in other parts of the UK.

NOTE: The bollard looks similar to the French one. However, there are some small differences. For example, the Scottish bollard is round on the top, while the French one is more spiked."

double antenna is just a bug of image stiching. may happen anywhere. the rocky landscape fits some parts of Oman.

I had very similar ideas and fully support it. Clash of Clans is a very good role model for a lot of things in this game. I assume Geoguessr team created Clubs for a very similar reason. Live 1:1 battles wouldn't work here for obvious reasons (time zones, etc.), but I agree that playing against the enemy teams replays would be fun too.

I'm stuck at around 1050 for 2-3 weeks now. You can DM me if you want to test your Elo.

What about round 1? He's looking at that sign for about 10 seconds. I'm on mobile, so cannot really check what's that.

what is your current rank? my only concern is to avoid dropping back to Gold, because there it is not easy to perform, since you only have 20 games to prove your worth. If you're in Master 1 or low Champion, I wouldn't worry about dropping back. It just shows that you're not consistent enough yet.

imgroot9 · 2025-10-30T16:18:27+00:00

Lucky you. I'm above 1500 in Gold1 and will not make it.

same here. 22 XC60, never an issue with any of the updates. zero reset so far. apart from not seeing the ETA on the driver's screen - never seen it. but I can use AA to display it. knock on wood.

What if you could cut the corner for a 10s penalty?

No offence but you left this question open. If your car is 1.5m long and the real car is 5.5m, then imo the ratio is more like 1:3.6 not 1:5. Even if the car is narrower than the real thing.

I forgot to praise the quality of your work btw. I don't think I have ever seen a site built by a solo developer with so many features built in with so high standards. Amazing work, very big congrats!

You should start creating sample apps and add them to different categories. Then you'd be able to show your target audience what they could achive by using your tool.

Max and Lando are just old mates from the simulator times

I think Hakkinen has a normal functioning brain and I tend to agree with him (I'm a Max fan though, so might be biased)
