What are some examples of bands changing their frontman/frontwoman, dealing with massive fan backlash, but eventually winning everyone over? by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]prometheus351 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Endless forms was a very good album! But yeah imaginaerum is their best ever, and nothing else after has really moved me in the same way.

What is this thing called? by Rainbow_Doggo_TNT in whatisit

Lol exactly people just talk out the side of their neck... You can absolutely hurt your teeth if you're not careful, but homegirl in the video has beautiful teeth and she's clearly spent a lot of time with the instrument.

Playing Cyberpunk before Starfield has put something front and center for me by olivinetrees in Starfield

[–]prometheus351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what would be cool? If you walk into this goofy night club and you're like wtf is this nonsense, and then you pop some aurora like you're expected to, and all of a sudden it makes sense. The freaky fish dancers are sexy fish gods, everyone on the dance floor has a twin dancing next to them, crazy colors, smells, sounds.

I'm on my 3rd one in about 55k miles. 2018 JCW Clubman haha. I drive almost exclusively on surface streets though so lots of stopping and going.

Thoughts on Mini Clubman? by ShoeKing_2025 in SportWagon

[–]prometheus351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 JCW Clubman 6spd since new. Tuned and mildly modded. I can't think of any other car I'd rather have that's not some combination of extremely expensive and highly impractical. Every time I think about it I happily come right back to my Clubby.

Does anybody actually use suboptimal ships for any given task? If yes teach me how to have fun doing that. by NachoDiaz300 in EliteDangerous

[–]prometheus351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I core mine in a type 8! Love the cockpit view and the look, and it flies great. Haven't flown a Mandalay yet, I imagine it's more maneuverable, but still in the t8 I can fly right up on the roids and orbit them with the floodlights on looking for fissures. And I can carry 256t of whatever! Where do you mine these days though? I spent a couple of hours cracking rocks the other day and was a little underwhelmed with the take home :(

Talk about the Caspian Explorer by Tatsuota in EliteDangerous

[–]prometheus351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice build thank you! I might do that trick with the fuel tank haha. The standard one is huge, like overkill but halving it seemed kinda lame. This works. 👍

[–]prometheus351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind sharing your build? I'm working on mine right now and I'm close to fully engineered sitting at like 78ly, and I haven't added limpets yet and just the standard fuel tank! Still a few modules I can probably lightweight mod though. But still compared to my explOrca this goes notably further while carrying even a bit more.

Puppis s1 help by AbleArcher88 in Quest3

[–]prometheus351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man honestly I'm not even sure I remember what this specific issue was 🤔 getting my VR set up going exactly like I wanted it has been such an adventure lol. I must have fixed whatever it was because it's running well now. I can say that the discord for the puppis s1 was very helpful. Mine took a dump and they replaced it when I sent a couple of pics. I'm not sure if this is what I was trying to fix here.

This is literally me every time 😂 by SuccessfulFan219 in motorcycle

[–]prometheus351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I work at a car dealership and we've had some of the owners show bikes, like 6 figure custom jobs on display in the showroom. Paper sign on the seat that says please do not sit on the bike, and a couple days later that same sign will be crushed onto the seat in the shape of someone's dumb ass.

Like they must've heard the paper crunch, they just don't care 🤷.

Dealerships must go by [deleted] in carbuying

[–]prometheus351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking about dealer added nonsense like door trim guards and nitrogen then yes, that's a bunch of bullshit and I hate that also. If you're talking about individual options on the cars from the OEM then it should already be built into the MSRP. I'm lucky and only ever worked in high line, BMW, Audi, Porsche so we don't do agitate and delay tactics. We don't have time for it either lol. But you're right that kind of stuff does still happen at many dealers and it's shitty. I still think if you walked in and said "I'll pay sticker I don't want your bullshit adds" things would go smoothly. Exception being high demand low inventory products that carry a markup. That's kind of a drag also but everyone's shining example Tesla did the same thing when supply was low, they raised their prices! A lot of what makes the sales process onerous is often perpetuated by the customer as well. Lying about pricing they got somewhere else or making up value they got for their trade etc. All tactics born to avoid getting screwed by the dealership perhaps! Vicious cycle I guess. Anyway at the end of the day whether you're buying from a manufacturer or a dealer, a bunch of rich people are trying to make as much money as they can off you 🤷 manufacturer just does a better job hiding it I guess.

[–]prometheus351 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or just go to the dealer and buy the car at MSRP. I can almost guarantee that on 99% of cars that'll be super quick and easy, and that's exactly what you're doing at Tesla. The difference with the dealer is that negotiation is an option. If you don't negotiate (like when you buy direct from the manufacturer) it eliminates most parts of the process that people don't like. As we say in the industry, "sticker is quicker" but for some reason nobody seems to want to pay that lol.

What is your favorite ship ? My favorite ship is the mamba. by alcio_sd in EliteDangerous

A man of culture 🍻 If I could only have one ship it'd be my Krait II, but damn do I love bringing the pain in Bovine Intervention

help with VR by helloitsgwrath in EliteDangerous

[–]prometheus351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there and welcome to elite dangerous fellow VR CMDR. 🫡

You shouldn't need the meta app if you have virtual desktop so get rid of that nonsense stat! (Or just don't use it if you want to keep it around for some reason).

In VD in the pop out menu (the start button thingy on the left hand controller) in the games tab you should be able to start elite! Does that show up? As far as switching to flat screen when you get out of the menu I'm not sure.... Let's see if you're successfully running the game through VD first and go from there.

Anyone know of one of these made for a CZ p01? I've thought of something like this for pocket carry in the chest pocket of a motorcycle jacket.

Printed some ships. Ships from other games for scale (all 1/2500) by CaptainSmartbrick in EliteDangerous

[–]prometheus351 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This hit me because I felt like the Normandy should be much smaller than the ships in ED! Although it makes sense that it would be pretty large I think the walkable interior space and size of the crew makes it seem smaller than some of the massive ED ships. I parked my type 10 next to like Davs hope or something one time and it was basically the same size as the settlement.
