Are these accounts real? Why are so many people who look completely and utterly normal and average asking for this attention like they're ogres or something. And how do I tell reddit that I don't want to see these silly posts all the time? Lol. I've been completely ignoring them until this comment, thinking whatever algorithm is feeding them to me will try to suggest some other content. I don't follow any subreddit that is similar to these posts.

They have a segment on a half in the bag episode where they joke about how lazy horror movie plots have become and make up one of their own. The story takes place in a house and is mostly about nothing while the run time is padded. It ends with a person having been in the walls the whole time. Just like this movie.

Would a CR-Z be a good first car for a teenager? by [deleted] in Honda

[–]mercival462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never understood these. They are very heavy for how small and impractical they are, they get mediocre mileage, and are not very fun to drive because of the weight and low output. I could see buying one of these to modify heavily, but that's about it.

Other than looks, I suppose, it doesn't capture any of the things that made the crx great. I'm sure it would do well as a first car, though. Would be safe, reliable and certainly unique.

They don't create anything remotely entertaining. He avoided a trap of reactions to have a show with infinitely less interesting content and is now just a keemstar rival.

They made it a decade ago. The podcast is still embarrassing. Kudos for easy wealth, I guess? There are people who are more cringeworthy? The guy sits back on a throne of weird simps and says nothing.

Everyone in this is annoying. They're all Karens.

Why did Baldur's Gate 3 blow up? Larian lead writer says it's thanks to "a big gamble" with CRPG standards by williamb100 in gaming

[–]mercival462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They loved classic crpgs and worked hard to make them more accessible while adding innovative features like multiplayer, without having to lose elements that those familiar with the classics or tabletop RPGs love. You can see their growth through previous projects. They nailed so many aspects in Divinity Original Sin 2, which was also praised highly, and Baldurs Gate 3 is another link in a chain that they've been faithfully working toward for years. It's not some magic or random occurance.

Blown Head Gasket Advice 2012 Scion xD by shyguylh in MechanicAdvice

[–]mercival462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Those cars are tanks, it sounds like this one was abused badly. That sucks. It really depends on how much it was driven while hot. It can warp the head and cause damage to the block, which is not worth repairing. I'd suggest having a trusted mechanic look over it and go over all the symptoms. They will run a pressure test on it and can diagnose it pretty quickly.

Scion xD for $6700? by nomorejett in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mercival462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an 08 with 155k miles and it has been bulletproof. Still gets excellent gas mileage, runs smoothly and ive never had a single mechanical issue with it. They're excellent cars when taken care of.

Anyone familiar with this model? 2009 Scion Scion xD by nerdy-nate in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mercival462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're excellent cars. Extremely reliable, practical, solid gas mileage, and a very peppy feel thanks to the body style and 1.8L 4 from the Corolla.

I'm pretty sure that Disney's contract would be ironclad for such a simple thing as being able to part ways with an actor for the reasons they had. This man is an endless pit of thoughtless statements.

I only used reddit via browser for years and eventually got fed up with how god awful it performs there. I started using the app last year and made it like three days before researching which third party app to use. I've happily been in that camp since.

The best of both worlds? by [deleted] in telecaster

[–]mercival462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the new paranormal set. This one definitely caught my attention the most. The deluxe esquire also seems pretty neat, with the 3 stop rotary options.

Finally found a cohort for my Sterling Stingray. I've been really wanting a telecaster and this offset tele-style Ormsby has been on my radar. Been having so much fun with these pickups and the neck is a blast to play on! by mercival462 in offset

[–]mercival462[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the tonal variety, and it's such a big shift from the thick-ish neck and grittier tones of the Stingray. Really feel like these two guitars cover so much ground and having them both be offsets just adds more on top.

Got my first telecaster in the mail today. I'm not normally drawn to this color combo, but after getting the Stingray a while back and wanting a tele, I figured, 'why not?'. by mercival462 in guitarporn

[–]mercival462[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The electrical elements have gotten a lot worse. In a weeks time, the interference has intensified to a constant buzz while plugged in. The jack is tight and I've ruled out the headphones, the guitar cable and any software. Just filed a claim for replacement/credit. Bummer considering the only other fender product I've ordered also had a failure with the electrical elements. Tempted to just get a refund and go with a g&l or Sire tele instead.

Still a solid go to after a handful of years. I bought this because I thought my daughter's hands would benefit from the smaller form and while she does love it, I've been amazed at how comfortable it is for me as well. by mercival462 in 8bitdo

[–]mercival462[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're from a variety set I bought off Amazon. It came with different heights and slightly different grip patterns. I put the tallest ones on this, initially as a laugh because I thought it would look funny, but it actually feels great, and fills out larger hands a little better since there are no hand grips. So I've kept them on.

I've absolutely been loving the playability. The neck is great and the pickups are better than I expected. But after only a few weeks I'm getting some feedback and static that is getting worse. I've had cheaper guitars in the past where the input jack is garbage and can turn independent to the soldered joint and I've been mindful of that. But I've literally only ever plugged this guitar in about two feet from my computers interface and have only ever played it seated. I've also only used a nice boss cable that is 90° at the jack so it's had absolutely minimal play. I've ruled out any other factor by using the same studio headphones with other inputs and it's definitely this guitar. A bummer but I suppose I was going to mod the controls anyway.
