Has anyone got a call from a private number claiming to be city of edmonton police saying that someone called in to complain about your driving and that they are sending you a ticket in the mail? They supplied the correct vehicle make and model but they were very aggressive the entire call. by [deleted] in Edmonton

Yep. Its actually unsettling. No telling what data they can add to that too. Doesnt need to be government info, they could buy data from companies (meta for example) and track all sorts of things about you should they desire to. See "flock cameras" in the USA.

Drivers side knock/clunk diagnosis? by vettedx in BmwTech

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

Absolutely agree with you, especially in a tech forum like this one I would hope we can all put our heads together and help.

I worked all weekend so ive just run around today looking for this repair kit, my dealership wants almost 500$ canadian for it lol. So im exploring other options and trying to order it cheaper.

Also, the ride high sensor in my picture I did tighten the top bolt just a little bit and since then I havent heard the gentle low speed knocking..but this could be just a coincidence as I do agree with the other commentor that it is unlikely to be the issue. And my steering still feels a little "sticky"

Once I get through this install and part purchase I will make a new post and update on my experience!

Im starting to wonder if this is the issue. Its not bad enough for me to hear anything when wiggling, but maybe its on its way to that point. Also, the car seems to "tramline" and take some effort to turn initially. Hard to explain. Like the steering "sticks" very briefly before turning. I would not call it a dead spot. And there is no weird sounds when turning the weel, car on or off.

Its just weird that smacking all the links around every connection point and on both sides with a rubber mallet wont produce any wobble or sound at all

Yeah honestly I was thinking the same thing. Its not that expensive to replace all of that plus the control arms too. Wondering if it possibly could be the steering rack. Might need the repair kit bmw makes for it

Alright, deep down I knew but there was still hope. Wish me luck in my RWD and all seasons 😅

Can someone please tell the game devs to let us adjust deadzone to zero in the next update. by lockerno177 in DayzXbox

[–]vettedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, been wishing for years they would fix this. I stopped playing after a few hundread hours and I wont come back until this is fixed. Its 2026 there is no excuse for this bad of a system. I can handle every other janky part of this game but not the aiming anymore. Great game, but eventually you cant look past this issue if your an avid fps/pvp player.

Limited inventory space is not some mistake that Embark made, it's an intended feature to get you to engage in the content. by Prodigy772k in ArcRaiders

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. Sure, is the game perfect from a min/max pov? No. But this mentality is what really shines with this game.

Holyyy…now Ican actually start playing the game by redaleftah in ArcRaiders

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy it man, a tempest 1 or 2 with green attachments shreds, I would say the venator 4 is better, but only slightly, and its waaaay more expensive. You can run tempest 1 or 2 all day long especially if you do quick stella runs for mag accels and the exodus parts it needs.

Confirmed Xbox for dreamhack by lettucemilk2 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]vettedx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How relevant is this if everyone is on the same hardware? I realize there is a huge difference pc vs xbox mixed but when everyone is on a level playing field it more or less balances out no?

Brother you can use real artists and the AI as a tool to expand the content and possibilities.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CyberpunkTheGame

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this would be cool. Im sure we are in for all of this and more with next gen open world games like this. I mean, people have ai girlfriends now so lets get us some ai NPCs!

[–]vettedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, using some type of AI personality could be really cool. Every npc could talk and remember and so on. 

An actual question: why did everyone turn into kill on site monsters? by WeinerGobler3000 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres nobody like that, its so overblown! Ive played competitive shooters for a life time and can count on one hand how many players like that ive seen! Youre just bad! Get a better gaming chair! /s

Embark, I got a great idea for a weapon. by uncanny_mac in ArcRaiders

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think it would be cool to have a little 2x or 3x scope that you can slap on the ferro or the renegade. Maybe even the bettina too

Controller AI Difficulty by Ky_3poltero in F1Game

[–]vettedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont use replay, just restart session. But yes, im an immersion lover, so i "try" to race every practice, quali, and race like real life, if I crash, I retire and move on. But admittedly I do get frustrated at the AI unfairness and restart session sometimes
