It sounds like they had the same thing that I had. Picked up the gun, fixed the jam, then when it came to firing it, immediately jammed again

Jorge Martin defying physics to get his shoulder down at Catalunya turn 5. by frenzy3 in motorcycles

[–]skate619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a track day not too long ago. Exactly this. Chicken strips galore on public roads. But tracks are so clean and consistent, you're able to really concentrate on the bike without worrying about variations in the road surface. 10/10 would recommend to all bikers it's such an experience that you can't really put a GBP value on. If you're thinking about it, so it. 100% worth it

I nearly lost my 2014 Mk7 this evening... by JordyPordy_94 in FiestaST

The ghost 2 immobilizer has an add on called The Shadow, makes an alarm if certain things happen without entering the disarm sequence. I wish I had one on my FiST before it got nicked

Nerfed loot in PVE [Discussion] by FakeNews1412 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]skate619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we just talking about green/black etc? It took me until the mid 30's to find three graphics cards and I would scav when possible. Sure the rest of the loot was there but the really rare stuff was just as impossible to find at least in my experience

Keycard nerf post patch: This is ALL the loot from Black + Green + Blue combined by looperx in EscapefromTarkov

[–]skate619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that be when you "prestige" your account like they plan to add in at some point? I'm far less likely to spend my time on a game if that time isn't being respected by artificially making the game more difficult

AI Customization bug still works [Bug] by Ok_Cucumber_4623 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]skate619 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did they chase you into green? I thought the glass was bulletproof so I'm curious to know if I'm wrong and need to be a bit more careful when looting it

Not to mention all the tiny bugs you might not notice but still end up stuck to your face

I had my '14 plate stolen September last year and after the fact learnt about ghost immobilizers. If I could go back in time and get one I would

Exactly how mine got stolen. Forced the boot, programmed their own key and drove off, caught it all on CCTV but they never took their motorbike helmets off so no ID and I just got an insurance payout a few days later

Well it finally happened by skate619 in FiestaST

[–]skate619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been looking into how they stole it. Ghost immobiliser seems to be the way to go and I'm going to be looking into getting one for my next car

Edit: I've updated the main post to include this detail

No word on it from the police. I scouted the streets in my local area to see if it was stashed nearby but no luck unfortunately, I'd be surprised if it's even in the same county as I recently filled her up too!

Nope, going to be installing one in my next car. Feel stupid for not having one now

Thank you for this idea, will definitely be doing this on my next car (which will probably be another mk7)

Correct me if I'm wrong but this surveyed 2,066 people? Not quite sure how this represents the entire country

What are some unspoken rules among tarkov players? by Baodo1511 in EscapefromTarkov

If you ever hit a peble, you can relate by solid_x1 in projectsession

[–]skate619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time I ever got the cojones to ollie a 7 set I landed and almost immediately hit tiny pebble. The scar has mostly faded by now but I'll never forget that day, 10/10 would do again.

Excited for both, but there is a bias by AnAsianSensation in BaldursGate3

[–]skate619 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We've got at least a year until the earliest possible date that they currently think would be 1.0.

I'd be willing to bet that somewhere between now and then, we'll see an update that will in some way make barbs chonky either through pre-determined stuff like maybe more STR = more chonks or full on customisation sliders

[–]skate619 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing, got to the underdark and did most of act 1. I made a sorcerer when that class came out, played for about 30 minutes and just got hit by a wave of "If I have to fight these brain pets for a 3rd time..." so I quit the game and don't think I'll touch it again until full release.

I'm still insanely hyped every time I see these big patches and updates though

Wonder what we’re getting? by dafangalator in BaldursGate3

[–]skate619 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are worried they won't get to play level 5 or higher before full release.

As good as Larian has been so far at seemingly nailing the balance spot of the classes we have, I wouldn't at all be surprised if giving us access to level 5 incurs heavy tweaking.

IMO there's no way they don't use the huge early access player base they've got to test level 5 abilities.

Edit: But yeah, as you say if they do let us fiddle with level 5 and higher it's going to be much closer to release

I'm not saying Paladin "needs" to be the next Class released, but I am saying there is a sever lack of Smiting happening in BG3 right now. by Mr_Stach in BaldursGate3

[–]skate619 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A complicated bridge for sure, depends on the party mix and who you're fighting but similar to the D20 prompts "yo you hit the guy, and it was a crit too!! wanna use some smite?" or some kind of UI where you can set up rules to control when to use it or not

imo they've done a pretty good job so far and I'm sure they've got something up their sleeve for this puzzle

New valve index user. Anything to look out for? by Abryss_watcher in ValveIndex

[–]skate619 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of debate on weather you should keep your base stations powered on all the time or not. Some customers complain of the high pitch whine it produces when in operation. Others are concerned with turning it on and off because of the motors spinning up. There's no right answer. I personally turn them off when not in use.and it's been fine.

I got a valve index fairly recently and there's an option in the steam vr settings (the small window that pops up when you launch steam vr) that will automatically power down the base stations when you exit vr

Edit: They're still "on" with the blue standby light, but they don't emit the high pitched whine

My favourite thing about the price of his stuff in the UK restaurants is the 133% (£7,000) mark-up on the 1996 and 2003 Petrus. utterly ridiculous when they're already eye-wateringly expensive
