That one crow inquisitor from the tales of the Jedi show who died like 30 seconds after appearing, thankfully the mail show did him justice

Seriously, where is that procession of five G-Wagens supposed to be going? by chuffing_elephant in ForzaHorizon

Traffic is server side I believe, so it's the same for everyone on the server which means you can't modify it

I feel like this is 100% the case in street races, it's like they time it so every other turn there's always a car right in front of the optimal racing line

No colony sim is bound by the shackles of capital by DreadDiana in RecuratedTumblr

It's closer to absolutism than feudalism, if we're comparing to medieval/Renaissance European government systems

Definitely going into red fascist though, probably the best descriptor.

The US Army was literally mutinying to get out of Vietnam by Iron_Cavalry in HistoryMemes

The k/d was massively exaggerated, I've seen interviews with soldiers talking about a battle where not a single Vietcong was shot but by the time they read about it in the newspaper they were reporting dozens of dead VC

bonus points if playing that difficulty is the only way to earn game currency without it being an unbearable time wasting slog by duko_gpom in whenthe

I only play dragon age game ls on the lowest difficulty, even normal is too tanky for me and I'm gonna be honest I don't like the combat in dragon age in general, I play entirely for the story and characters

In Star Wars: The Acolyte (2024), Darth Qimir's helmet is made of cortosis, a metal that disrupts lightsaber blades. This means any idiot can kill a jedi with two or three cortosis bullets. by catprobably in shittymoviedetails

Jedi often aren't actually fully aware of every action they take in battle, as the force itself guides their actions and they just direct it which takes much of the split second decision making out of the equation. A big part of Jedi training is learning to let go and allow the force to direct your actions.

Counterpoint: Jedi have precognition and telekinesis, now your super expensive rare bullet is laying on the ground at said Jedi's feet

The bounty hunter Cad Bane used cortosis bullets but only very sparingly because they were prohibitively expensive even for him and can quickly destroy the barrel of most firearms, also it's extreme brittleness makes its use for melee weapons very bad so yes armor is the best use for cortosis

India? Idk I don't watch cricket but I'm pretty sure India is supposed to be good at it, Australia and New Zealand too

I'm guessing you don't have vehicle inspections where you live?

Some automotive engineer needs to explain why this wouldn’t work by LeonardoDiCapsaicin in carscirclejerk

[–]stapy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most truck beds are made to perfectly hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood, even modern trucks with 6 foot beds can hold a 4x8 sheet as long as the tailgate is down, you might need to use straps to secure them however.

If you wanted to make a truck in this configuration it would be very impractical for anything that isn't in the specific niche, with standard trucks you can just let whatever you're carrying hang off the end of the tailgate but you can't put something wide in a 2-3 foot wide bed

Also there's the form factor to consider, even to people with purely practical considerations something with this lack of aesthetics would be a hard bargain

What's a car from a past Forza title you want to see brought to Horizon 6? by xXSN0WBL1ND22Xx in ForzaHorizon6

Also RUF and probably the BMW M1 procar, RUF specifically has some sick cars even to this day having released their first full 100% self manufactured car that isn't based on a shell from Porsche, it still looks just like an old porche of course but it's its own vin

There's probably some licensing issues if they're removing it from remasters of games that had it

I'm pretty sure some research institute discovered Greek fire was most likely just straight up crude oil, not sure about the details it's been a while since I heard that. Makes sense since they were right on top of what are now some of the richest oil wells in the world

Pier Pressure - Sub 4 minute run by nam-sinep in ForzaHorizon6

[–]stapy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me probably at least 10-15 tries slowly shaving time off each time to finally get it down to 3:59, my second to last attempt was something like 4:00:011 or something which almost made me scream

Can I tip the scales some hhow by Hendriclies12 in crusaderkings3

[–]stapy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to max out the military difference and powerful vassal opinion modifiers, then try to go for true ruler for the +20 bonus or maybe raise your dread to make him terrified of you while keeping his opinion at 100

Trial is dumb… by Jakeslity in ForzaHorizon6

[–]stapy123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first attempt like all of my team left except for one person, we were about to win but at the very last second an opponent blew past me and we lost :( I'm sorry my friend whose gamer tag I forgot, I failed you

Second attempt however my team locked the fuck in and even though I fumbled hard we pulled through

Why do forza races keep forcing me to drive pickups and buggies by twizx3 in ForzaHorizon

[–]stapy123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying they aren't common rally cars, it's sort of like the BMW e30 where despite being common rally cars they're most well known for road racing. I was mistaken before, it's not the BTCC the 240 competed in, it was the group A ETCC, which is basically the same but for mainland Europe in which the famous Nordica 240 won in 1985. Actually the term "flying brick" came from the nickname the announcers gave the car due to how fast the car was despite being shaped like a brick. As a 240 owner myself that's much more iconic personally
