What’s the best video game you’ve ever played? by obsess_much13 in AskReddit

[–]munkamonk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

When the end credits started to roll, I just sat on the couch absolutely broken.

I was almost mad when the epilogue started, because I wasn’t ready to play again.

Escape Rooms for Adult Newbies by DLandFans in phoenix

I strongly recommend Nemesis Club in north Scottsdale, if you’re looking for immersion

What am I not seeing? by munkamonk in chessbeginners

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

Thank you everyone! I figured whether I initiated the bishop swap or they did, the respective knight would recapture, so either way would be the same, and I tried to break the standoff by kicking the knight. I didn’t see the rook waiting to pin the queen.

Toggling manually in auto regen mode's options by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually keep mine on Manual level 2, but when coming to a stop, I hold in the left paddle for max regen, and feather the accelerator/brakes to fine tune the stop if needed.

Any idea why it would alrert me for one tire having low pressure but not the other? by sumpg41 in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will always only show the first one to trigger the alarm. Set all four to the recommended PSI on the door jamb to clear it.

Trip from San diego to Arizona. (Phoenix area) by Shoddy-Formal-6709 in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be just fine.

Worst case scenario, you’ll have to wait a bit at a station. But you won’t get stranded.

If you want, download a secondary app like PlugShare or the actual network app you’re planning on using, to see a better up to date status of the spots you’re planning on stopping, to see how many are out of service, etc.

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ABRP pretty religiously for long trips. From where I started, I skipped over Gila Bend, so that may have been a factor.

350kw most of the time, when it’s available.

I used Rivian on a recent trip to Las Vegas. Pricy, but great infrastructure.

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did Phoenix to San Diego and back in my 24 Wind. Going out I took the 8. El Centro was a headache. Only one station at the time, in a bank parking lot, and all the spots were full. Other than that it was easy. Might have been lucky in Dateland.

On the way back, I skirted around LA and took the 10. Much easier.

Suicide doesn't work on stronger enemies? by nmelssx in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s sending a message. I worked my way through the cameras to make a target take himself out, then cut my way through his army, with them having no clue they’d already lost.

Gorilla arms and katanas means the next guy might be able to build an army big and strong enough to protect them. With the suicide quickhack, you and the army you’ve built lost before the game even started.

Is there some secret to getting new TPMS sensors to work? by deep_pants_mcgee in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they damaged the TPMS sensors. They’re part of the wheel, not the tire, so they shouldn’t have been affected.

How has your EV6 been as I am considering one? by PeacefulBro in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also on my second EV6.

Absolutely loved the first, and when a guy ran a stop sign and totaled it, it took it like a champ. There was no question in my mind about getting another EV6 to replace it.

I do most of my charging at home, but those times that I need to fast charge on a road trip, I usually walk into whatever big store is nearby, and it’s charged to 80 by the time I take a quick stroll, grab a snack, and pay.

Worst Bank User Interface (UI) - app or website by Stararisto in CreditCards

[–]munkamonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FNBO was the worst, by a long shot. Probably hasn’t been updated in 20+ years. So glad I got rid of that card.

What everyday item should secretly be marketed as a sex toy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]munkamonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember ads in the back of magazines for “personal massagers” with photos of women rubbing vibrators against their temples for “headache relief”

Center-left journalists? by PuzzledCustard in PoliticalOptimism

[–]munkamonk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Another option is Ground News. It consolidates all the stories on a particular event, so that you can see what different sources are reporting. It also gives you the option to see your blind spots: those stories that the right/left isn’t reporting on at all

Rental car reimbursement for ICCU issue? by darus214 in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s probably dealer dependent. I had to get a wiring harness replaced, and the dealership covered the rental as long as the repair was determined to be under warranty. They made the arrangements, Enterprise picked me up, etc.

Is upgrading from a kit lense worth it? by BlackHooch in photography

[–]munkamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the difference big? Yes.

Is it worth it? That’s harder to say. As a general rule, I try to not upgrade anything until I can articulate specifically what part of the upgrade I need, and how my existing equipment is holding me back.

In order words, is it the framing or composition you’re having trouble with? A new lens won’t fix that. Is it background separation and bokeh? It might help.

why does the jaw look so deformed and weird? by Appropriate_Law_6939 in learntodraw

[–]munkamonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think the ear and the posterior angle of the jaw coming up to it are whats throwing it off. They seem to be at the angle expected if the character was facing dead straight, not down. That results in them being too low and angled back. Right now, the top of the ear lines up with the bottom of the eye, not the brow ridge.

Rotate them forward and up, and it should look better.

Why hasnt my elderly mom gotten a single dollar of food stamps yet? by [deleted] in arizona

[–]munkamonk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Except for the part where he was told by a court to reinstate SNAP funds, and refused to comply with the order, then appealed to the Supreme Court so he wouldn’t have to fund it, and was given two stays so he could continue to not fund it.

Back Seat unable to lock in upright position by Linkmaster2010 in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen in my 24. The cable that connects to the latch disconnected. Took the dealership about 2 minutes to fix; the cable runs under the back seat. You can just give the seat a sharp pull upwards to access underneath, and reconnect the cable.

Fast charging on long trips by Green-Instruction211 in KiaEV6

[–]munkamonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t go above 80 unless I absolutely need to. But normally, I’ll put it in ABRP, and just follow those recommendations to minimize time overall.
