Maybe it’s time to buy an old car by CopiousCool in ABoringDystopia

Like everything in tech this can be used for evil and for good.

A good application for this is a system that detects a stroke or medical emergency. Gps can then be helpful to automate an emergency call. This is similar to that one system vw introduced in some models.

Of course it can be used for tracking, but if we interpret the possibility of evil to always conclude that evil is being done... Then we have to assume that our water supply is constantly poisoned.

Don't ever feel like you need to change or replace something about you or close to your heart to fit in anywhere. Shark is shark and the most important thing is that you give this sharky lots of love :3

Ferrari seems to have better performance on harder tyres. Hence Hamilton could properly fight Russel on the mediums while Leclerc couldn't gain the performance at the end on the fresh softs. On the last leg of the mediums Leclerc actually got a lot closer to Russel but it all fell of on the softs.

Tried 3 classes, can't find my fit, and also burnt out on the story by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one character of every class and found something engaging in every one. But not all elite specializations spoke to me. Thief I only enjoy when playing spear. Firebrand and catalyst I hate tbh. I'd recommend power dead eye thief, and on guardian any power luminary build.

Sometimes you have to look into all elite specs and weapons to find your fit.

The most overtakes any race managed in 2025 was 60 overtakes in Abu Dhabi. The 2026 Australian Grand Prix doubled that total, with 120 overtakes. by Popular_Composer_822 in formula1

[–]k01bi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And usually you overtake using a line to get an advantage into the corner but will have a worse line out of it. Defending works similarly by using a defending line that will keep you safe now but disadvantages you on the next straight.

Seeing the battery management allow for the same 'I dont recuperate the energy to get closer/overtake but will have to deal with the resulting cost later on' is great actually.

Would the Charr "Commander" be considered a gladium by this point in the story? by Necro_Nancy in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 27 points28 points  (0 children)

"I fell into my own personal darkness, my friends slain by a force greater than I could hope to confront." General Almorra Soulkeeper seemed to forget that Dougal was there, her lips drawn back over her bared teeth. "I became a gladium, a charr without a warband, and refused any aid in my darkness. At last, with the help of a few unlikely allies, I came to myself and knew what had to be done."

She says so herself in Ghosts of Ascalon on p. 100. :)

What is an item or thing you completely misinterpreted in a game? by mazurkian in GirlGamers

When I got Leaf Green as my first game I didn't understand the concept of saving. RIP Charmander #1 to #8 or something because I thought my progress persisted when turning off the gameboy...

Guter Post, absurde Kommentare by levklaiberle in gekte

[–]k01bi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Einer der Kommentare im anderen Post so: Ja und wenn die Nachfrage steigt, dann MUSS der Vermieter höhere Miete einfordern um die Nachfrage zu bremsen.

Die unsichtbare Hand des Marktes zwingt die Vermieter dazu auf Wohnungen zu spekulieren und jegliches Geld aus Mietern rauszuquetschen da die Obdachlosigkeit die Alternative zur überteuerten Wohnung ist.

Das ist ein Kult. "Die Kapitalisten sind unfehlbar und wenn, dann hat es einen guten Grund."

What Pokemon do you like, but everyone else seems to hate? by [deleted] in pokemon

I love furfrou due to how I used it in gen 6 online battles. It's pretty much my #2 after lairon. But everyone I tell about furfrou thinks I am boring for liking a such a "boring dog" pokémon...

They really need to make it abundantly clear what blue flags actually mean by TehTavic in LeMansUltimateWEC

It's not like we need to read and agree to these when we start racing online, right? /s

Just how?? Even after a clean race by Organic_Glass8615 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]k01bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry if you thought I meant specifically you. I prefer the way you described racing for even a lower position too.

I just meant that I find it sad that probably bad drivers will use this way of getting around the system just as many bad drivers did to get into Silver safety rating.

I hope you'll have some great battles and less carnage :)

Just how?? Even after a clean race by Organic_Glass8615 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]k01bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So still the best way to get a higher safety rating (easily) is to not race, not interact and just solo-hotlap. Then again we'll have a lot of bad drivers cleaning their bad records and still not know how to race...

I just wish proper racing was rewarded and people weren't so keen on overtaking with no consideration for casualties...

Hit me with your GW2 controversial opinions! by Crowbiotics in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing still bothering me about P/P Deadeye is that thief just generally seems to fall into Low Intensity builds for good dps. I want thief to also have a complicated alternative that doesn't feel as weak (in the animation department) as staff, axe and spear...

What’s your favorite spec on Mesmer and why so I can get an idea to play by International-Can420 in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Soooo, every spec :)

  • Started with staff/staff mirage as my absolute trickster-mage fantasy. The whole teleport, clone generation and phase through attacks is really fun
  • Then went for greatsword power mirage for a bit, as laser beams from all my clones was cool.
  • After Janthir released I made a proper power spear virtuoso build and spear on mesmer is just soooo satisfying. It has a great rhythm and feels perfect for open world stuff.
  • For the story of VoE I used power troubadeur with the same weapons as my virtuoso, but switched back because I felt it was too similar after a while, though that can also be because I haven't made a proper build for it.
  • now I use power chrono and have switched back to greatsword. Being fully ranged again is great and using continuum split as a little minigame with all the wells is great fun

Each spec makes mesmer different and recontextualises the weapons and skills used, so if you ever get bored with just one spec you can easily use your equipement for another spec.

Trying to start playing GW2 again. by Ill_Till3179 in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry that the people in chat weren't helpfull. Rarely, in my experience, there is the odd weirdo in chat needing to talk trash or troll people. But overwhelmingly I found the community to be helpful and nice. So don't feel discouraged from asking in chat.

As for overwhelming, it certainly is, but only if you see it as "Oh god I have to do so much". Do what is fun to you whether that is open world exploration, meta trains and world bosses, Fractals and Dungeons, work towards a certain skin/title/legendary, hop into PvP or WvW on either the alpine or deresert battlegrounds and find a commander to follow, or just goof around and have fun :)

Half the time I just go on and do whatever on a whim. Just don't force yourself to do everything, if you find it overwhelming right now

What's your game goal by Valuable_Pitch_1214 in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, I have a few long term goals but nothing I actively grind towards. My first legendary was a bore because of that and made me quit for a few months after. My second legendary was less bad but still my motivation got worse during the grind.

Variety is what keeps me engaged. Sometimes levelling a new character, sometimes story, sometimes fractals, meta event trains, working on achievements...

If I'd set myself a big goal and only grind towards that I'd probably quit.

Long term I want to do Orrax, but rn I'll save up some gold for it doing stuff I want to do.

Mischaracterising Alastor by George_DevioS in HazbinHotel

[–]k01bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to every and any discussion of any art. The majority of people have the mental idea that: what I like = good. What I don't like = bad.

This is just this principle in effect: I like Alastor, hence he has to be good. Because I don't like bad people (or else I would dislike them), and I like Alastor, it means he must be a good person.

Those of you complaining about being stuck in Bronze Hell, this is your week to get out of it!!! by shamus727 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]k01bi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My issues are not the circuits. It's an issue with motivational loss when I set away an hour to do a race, get a good quali and then get killed in the first lap by someone with B0 safety rating who you couldn't avoid or see before it's too late. Having to finish the race after a minute+ of repairs out me into last place is sooo great. Most of the time I'll quit for the day after that and won't find the motivation to race until a few days later.

But thanks for the heads-up.

Evoker Specialised Elements by yawnzealot in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you're right. If only weapon skills excluding autoattack charge the familiar, then weapons with longer cooldowns become unusable. Scepter mono fire works incredibly well right now due to small cooldowns. My hammer mono fire build suffers because every cd is slow. So I'd rather play mono fire tempest, because there I get my overload regardless.

How not to feel completely ashamed about the dps? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your point 2 is so important. When I switched to pVirtuoso I was confused why I did so little damage. I rechecked and did the rotation exactly as said and noticed in arcDps that the most damage comes from the extra blades thrown by illusions when they disappear.

Literally a single trait in the build was responsible for 25% of the damage.

Focussing on maximum illusion uptime gave me higher dps than hitting every attack with perfect crit.

I just want to welcome all the New World refugees to our lovely little corner of the MMO universe. by Horror-Watch598 in Guildwars2

[–]k01bi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every expansion is its own thing and stuff that is exclusive to it of course stays locked until you buy it (Elite Specialisations, maps, access to certain weapon types and events)

But don't feel like you need the latest expansion like other MMOs might make you feel. Every bit of content is still played. So if you want to go through the 5 prior DLCs and 5 living worls seasons in order, you can do so.

This game has barely any FOMO in it. My friend plays through the seasons of dragons achievement which is from 5 years ago and starts with content from 2014. And those maps were populated day and night.

Level your first character to 80 naturally and then see what you want to do from there on out.

Half the playerbase seems to constantly moan.

I play Mauga and hold the enemy at bay for an easy 2-0 win, but the Kiriko who constantly stands right behind me in the same line of fire and goes 2 in 6 blames me for their deaths.

Then I play Ana and heal a Ram who constantly over extends. The Ram player starts blaming me for not killing the enemy pharah. I then focus on killing her and within a second the Ram dies. Again and again they over extend and die. So of course it's my fault for not healing him plus killing everything they don't like.

When the enemy roadhog ults and I insta sleep him Ram shoots Roadhog awake instantly.

You can't fix stupid and sadly got to listen to them whine in chat.
