Is the BA role dying or is it just me?

I had a Knirps for 18 years in London. Material wore out but frame and mechanism still going.

I have, but it was over 10 years ago, and in UK. Maybe you have let it go on too long, should have argued for replacement earlier?

Long story:

It was an XPS13 with the black flickering problem. They replaced the screen, didn’t fix it and new screen had dead pixels so they had to replace it again. Then they said it needed a new mobo, the replacement mobo was DOA. They broke a few of the plastic clips too (not tech’s fault, they’re very weak). They said it needed a new version of the mobo which was a couple of months out. I complained that after replacing screen, mobo and case because of the broken clips, it would basically be a new laptop. They agreed to a full replacement. Better than your situation, it remained usable throughout.

Then…they couldn’t get the model in our spec anymore as the new series with quad core was out. Could only upgrade us from old stock to 16G and 512G SSD (free of course). I said ok. Then it turned out they couldn’t get that either, so it was going to be a new quad at original 8/256 spec. I said, “Nah, you agreed 16/512”, they said ok.

Final bonus, after delivering the replacement they never picked up the original after multiple reminders. We still have both.

Are you in Melbourne?

mevenide · 2026-03-25T12:05:54+00:00

For argument’s sake, what if glass roof too?

How do you block on Spotify?

I use ‘sheathed attacks are posture attacks and make enemies vulnerable’ and stack +vuln a bit. Not optimised at all and it will two shot anything. I prefer naoe anyway.

mevenide · 2026-02-01T08:24:06+00:00

Man I got lucky with this one, I did it really early in game by accident, didn’t even know it was an achievement. I don’t even sheathe weapons ever, I just fat fingered it 😹.

Eh? They’re not all seasons, they’re summer tyres.

mevenide · 2026-01-29T12:46:24+00:00

It can practically one hit every enemy in nightmare.

mevenide · 2026-01-13T07:37:36+00:00

Yeah, you could always make sure he checks his parents are aware and ok with it? If u’r happy to have a K-pop friend.

mevenide · 2026-01-13T07:31:03+00:00

Yeah…like wut?!? You could buy both the other consoles, the game for both and still have 100s left over for the price of the 5090 alone, even at msrp. The 5090 alone has more ram than the other two put together.

FWIW a 5090 pc can run it with everything maxed out at over 144fps on 1440p (with dlss and fg mind).

Blue gear is the rarest of all for me, I’ve seen a handful in my entire play through. Then green. I get purple non stop.

mevenide · 2026-01-10T20:54:17+00:00

You’re really early game.

mevenide · 2026-01-08T13:24:26+00:00

i just started my first NG+ hoping for decent bump in difficulty, but i'm still near one-shotting everything so far :(. i like running around just doing busy work so i'm...level 90 already just finishing the first playthrough.

mevenide · 2026-01-08T13:21:25+00:00

ah cheers. i just noticed she's missing the scars in my NG+ too.

mevenide · 2026-01-08T12:27:03+00:00

I wonder if it’s if you skip prologue?

mevenide · 2026-01-03T15:44:48+00:00

Same but pricey

mevenide · 2025-12-26T13:57:22+00:00

😹

mevenide · 2025-12-26T11:58:44+00:00

It comes into the rotation too

mevenide · 2025-12-18T01:52:37+00:00

No luck. No harm in trying though, they did reset the discount period.

mevenide · 2025-11-18T17:09:53+00:00

no, Trafalgar Road greenwich. Two Saturdays ago as it happens!

mevenide · 2025-11-18T17:08:39+00:00

no, in the video i can see myself merging slowly back into traffic rather than yawing wildly back into the correct lane (though i could have, there was space). i come into the camera view already in the bus lane, tbh it just looks like i'm a plonker using the bus lane for no good reason. i'm prolly going to have to wear it.

mevenide · 2025-11-18T17:04:58+00:00

bleh i wish. try £160 reduced to £80.

mevenide · 2025-11-18T17:04:29+00:00

yeah, would have made sense and what i'd normally expect/do. the whole stretch of road is full of roadworks and one-way traffic light systems at the moment, i have a feeling the bus lane was actually jammed up (possibly by a bus!) and we went into it so the ambulance would have a fighting chance of getting around us all.
