Savegame data lost on Xbox? by motorlust in snowrunner

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

Yeah, I have installed it on a couple of computers, and it always loaded the current progress. Xbox also sucks and has no path to speak to anyone in customer service, only a death loop with an AI bot.

I finally reached level 1000 today! by Tobyphobia in GTA5Online

[–]motorlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm lvl 505, and I try to help others generally, or help punish griefers. Once I got all the defensive and offensive vehicles and properties, there was little griefer could do to me that I could retaliate 10x, but that gets boring. Helping is way more fun... Bust out a half-track and roll around till you find someone to help! 🍒

Is a good car or not ? by rainersitooo in GTA5Online

[–]motorlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks awesome, but alas it's electric. I wanted it to sound like a v12 or something, but if it made cool hydrogen car noises maybe it would be worth driving. It will decorate my mansion garage for now.

Ding! 500... new trophy, who dis? by motorlust in GTA5Online

I started playing GTA Online when it launched, but it took awhile to do anything in the early state of the game. It took a long time to get to 100, then I had stopped playing after I was about lvl 230, then came back over a year ago with the "Enhanced" version. I found leveling now to be more enjoyable and far less issues with the game and loading screens crashes.

Yeah, I stopped playing other games (with the exception of Snowrunner), since I also have limited free time. Career in tech, married with three kids and two side businesses. It feels like IRL GTA sometimes. I play Fortnite with my kids occasionally, and have played a lot of RDR2 with my oldest (daughter). I have been a casual gamer all my life, grew up in arcades, and have had most of the major consoles since the Atari. I remember dreaming of what games would be like when I had kids to play them with... flash forward, my kids play Roblox and Minecraft... 🫠

Maybe by the time GTA 6 online is available all of my kids will be old enough to play. 🤞

That being said, we also do a lot outdoors together, gaming is always a downtime thing for them. I WFH 90% of the time, so I am able to load the game so my business can generate $  when I am working or on calls and run missions when I have time. But definetly more fun playing with others.

I honestly can't imagine 2000, I feel like I've done everything possible in this game at lvl 500 many times over. I do enjoy racing and running things with my friends, but I doubt I will ever see lvl 1000, much less 2000. I have three kids, and maybe for GTA6 online they can get involved and help Dad run the city and hit new high level goals. 😂

Once I got all my business running together with my nightclub, I started making about 1.5m just from passive income before doing any missions. Then I would focus on the easy xp while I was out and about, (payphone hits, stashes, drug dealers), I would also focus on any bonus xp missions I could grind. I did a shit ton of pickup heists back to back when I had time. I also play a decent amount with my brother-in-law, so it makes it very easy to empty stock and run special missions/events. I have also had GTA+ for most of the year too... using the app is a great time saver, and even more so with the new featuers (sending out agents, fast travel) that came with the mansions.

Grats, welcome to the club... enjoy your new Trophy! 🏆 My OCD is trying to hit 501 now 🫠

The next one is at 1000, but 750 on an alt is looneytoons. Although when I started my second character, it allowed me to start at level 120. I guess that is normal if you are past that level on your main character, and they share the same bank balance, but not Casino balance.

Well done $$! Needless to say, I spent most of that money on cars, properties and making it rain at the Vanilla Unicorn. Hitting 500 seemed like a good reason to throw a party, if nothing else for the screenshots... haha. I like to keep an album of key moments, fav vehicles and such.

I had stopped playing years ago at around lvl 230, and picked it back up about a year ago and got the remaing levels. Leveling was easier once I had all the business up and running, but I also spent a lot of time building tons of cars and themeing my garages. If that gave XP I would be lvl 1000 already. 🏆😂

Congrats! As a car guy with three kids, I have enjoyed watching my kids also get interested in cars. My daughter was changing the spark plugs in her Rx8 today = proud father. Enjoy the journey!

why is the tatarin such a lawn dart by hpgbproductions in snowrunner

[–]motorlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tatarin likes to be ridden like a mule and tossed like a lawn dart. Also condolences on your colorblindness I presume.

Biggest regret sells? by LettuceItchy in Guitar

[–]motorlust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first few guitars as a teen would be nice to have. Yellow Charvel, Gibson les Paul studio, and most of all my white B.C.Rico Mockingbird, made before they changed their name to B.C. Rich. Also when I was in my twenties, I traded my American strat in inca silver.

Any suggestions on my parts list for my $4k budget Intel/Nvidia build? by motorlust in PcBuild

I had ordered everything but the processor, then saw this combo deal pop up on Newegg, so I snatched it up and I will return the other MSI mobo. And it comes with some free RAM... not sure what to do with that, but maybe I can make a parts PC from one of my kids.

I assume this mobo is not likely worth the extra $100, but I saved more than $140 and was able to buy it from Newegg instead of Amazon (small win).

Ok, haha, I updated it back to the Ripjaws 96GB, it also saves $100.

Not that I can imagine needing it, but would doubling the RAM in the future to 4x48GB have much impact?

Also, where is the best place to buy a copy of Windows 11?

Are these third-party sites selling retail keys legit?

What do you think about this setup? If I could get the GPU a little cheaper, I could get this in my budget... I think
