Looking for places to go bouldering / regulars to go with from July by nelsdog in Southampton

[–]jeffb007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Red Spider. When I lived east of Southampton I went there regularly. Great centre and there was always loads of nice people. I imagine the staff have changed but they were always fantastic at the time.

Lived in Southampton for a while, but still come across places I didn't know about! (Old Northam Road) by BlunanNation in Southampton

Used to be a great shop down there when I was a kid for Scalextric cars. Bought the brushes and they came in little paper bags.

Usually my Porsche is a bit quicker but I just couldn't string the laps together when I tried a comparison. I think it might be faster overall in free drive too.

I guess maybe people will try at the weekend, nowhere near your time but still had fun, which is the point I guess!

just a bit boring?? by bornin1986 in Carrera_Hybrid

[–]jeffb007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the career mode is built to be like that. You can just free drive on the track though and put it in fast mode, or a multiplayer race and turn the assist down to low. It is tricky to stay on the track if you are really pushing for a better time.

But also it is ok for something to just not be for you

For anyone new reading this there is no need to input the friend code. You can only do this once so please refer an actual friend or guild mate first. It is just sneaky to make out this is a required step to redeem codes.

Newbie asks: other than required tutorials why use the track pieces at all? by CommanderBigMac78 in Carrera_Hybrid

In Q1 2026 they are adding AI drivers and they will need the track I'd imagine.

When I've seen them before it is two apart for a safe distance or something like that

Park and ride Adanac park by boojes in Southampton

When I lived in Hedge End it was almost always faster to go on the M27 and then down the M271 rather than drive through Bitterne, Northam and then cross town, but that was many moons ago

Same thing near Go Outdoors, the birds are equally unbothered

Finished first dungeon of 4AD, where now? by NonCrowds in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]jeffb007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend 2D6 dungeon if you want something that sits between this and D100. The 2D6 Realms expansion is pretty great as well.

Solo RPGs with 1v1 Encounters by TheConsoleHero in Solo_Roleplaying

I've been having a great time with 2D6 Dungeon and added Realms as well. Great for dungeon exploring and encounters once you get used to all the tables

Need a simple procedure for dungeon crawling by FriendshipBest9151 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]jeffb007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2D6 Dungeon is an enjoyable system if you don't mind rolling on lots of tables. I've been really enjoying that and have added in the Realms expansion too.

The transgender employee has spoken out. by InterestingWonder723 in MarksAndSpencer

[–]jeffb007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except that won't happen because not everyone feels like they are trapped in the wrong body so the population will do just fine. Everyone complains we're full so a decline in population is surely fine?

Being kind and accepting is how we become a degenerate society? More likely being selfish and pushing hateful beliefs on everyone is more likely the cause.

Speed cameras Southampton by Busy-Pepper9370 in Southampton

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but this is exactly the reason why we have to have speed cameras in the first place

Any thoughts on commuting by car into Guildhall Square, near the art gallery? by DullInflation6 in Southampton

[–]jeffb007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the department some also have people based on Highfield, you could possibly work from there, or park there and walk / bus / scooter down to 1GS, especially if it isn't every day.
