    Car ?'s

    I still dream of getting an EV and using Raspberry Pi to control playing the motorcycle trombone sound, on a bullhorn under the car, tied to how fast the car is going (or if it can somehow be tied to the gas peddle). Reference video:

    Napoleon (2023)

    Longer video of what I posted in the Video thread, but could only find it on shitty Facebook. In addition to talking about the grape shot, he shows canister shot, and how to make a lead musket balls as would have been used in the Napoleonic wars: This guy is part of the Chalke Valley History...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Well, for the MASH movie at least, it was written in response to Vietnam and, outside of what the setting required, they tried to make it more relevant to the Vietnam era than the Korean one. I don't remember if the original producers of the TV show ever commented on taking issues around the...

    Did they improve mouse/keyboard driving for cars? I used bikes the whole game because cars were a pain in the ass.

    As a reminder, any pictures with all these enhanced colors are due to being digitally altered by people not working for NASA, to highlight the layers of clouds and atmospheric currents. The unaltered (non-IR) Juno probe's picture are going to be almost all shades of tan, white, and orange. As...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Ah, I understand now. Never read the mod, just seen it in passing. Would be nice to have at the outpost, but, yea, not that big of a deal, just loading screen/npc annoyance.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Outpost shipbuilder: You need to build the large landing pad and go to the computer console at the "entrance." For the building UI issues, I would hope that maybe it's something that they will eventually fix/change. I agree that just a toggle at each possible door opening, that you can forbid...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    First, from what I saw, higher level only effects performance items, like guns, shields, gens, etc. At level 40, I think you have all the shapes unlocked, outside of maybe turret weapons and fuel tanks. So, for example, when new grav drives unlock, you can just replace that 4x4 grav drive, with...

    Car ?'s

    The vehicle market would have to be all kinds of fucked up for me to consider buying a new vehicle and taking that initial depreciation hit. So I would treat them the same. If a new car and used car is within 10% of each other, but the dealer wants $10k more for upgraded interior, I would just...

    How much does adding an adjustable seat option cost? See what year seats fit that truck and call around to some local scrap yards or look online (shipping is a bitch, though). Toyota has a enthusiast forum and they may have good info on what others have done for seat replacements. 2019 power...

    What tickles your pickle

    It used to be called Night Soil and was used all around the world as fertilizer for food crops (and still is in some place, like India). Unfortunately, a lot of human diseases are shit borne and using it on food leads to the spread of those diseases. Especially with people who don't wash their...

    Ahsoka

    Humpin rock back bros? Nah... have you you ever heard the tale of Darth Baitin the Hermit? You can't read about him in any Jedi holocron but he developed a technique to no hands it, just through the power of the force, alone.

    Great, thanks. I think I will stop trying to force myself into playing Starfield and give Terraria a shot instead.

    Ahsoka

    I was assuming that those are the bodies of former Night Sisters and part of the bargain that he made with the sisters, not for his use.

    Ahsoka

    Dig how, though? They are in another galaxy and Ahsoka will be there next episode. Maybe they will insert a line about already having the brief on Ashoka done. It's a small nitpick that I doubt will be addressed, but I found it to be one of the sillier parts of the episode.

    Ahsoka

    That was the Trawn of the Clone Wars, this is 30(?) years later. Also, Thrawn asks for a full write up on Ahsoka. Do they keep a full imperial database on every ship? I thought they had whole planets full of data servers for all the data that is produced in the Galaxy.

    Being able to travel back to act 1 areas from act 2 areas has nothing to do with it. You can actually skip what ever you want in Act 1. Advancing the story into Act 2 means that Act 1 is irrevocably changed, which is mainly the Tieflings, Druids, and Goblin story. If you were to skip resolving...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Sure, but if you have already done the completionist thing once or thrice, hopefully you can tone that down if the goal is to get into a basic, yet more customizable, jumping off point for the DLC.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I guess I need to spell it out? The vast majority of the "shit to do" is optional. If he wants to get a certain spot in the story for when the Xpac comes out, you can just do half the main story in a fairly short amount of time. You don't need to track down any of the cyber-psychos. You don't...

    Act 1 was supposed to be what was available in EA, which, for much of it, was everything up to taking either the mountain pass or the Underdark boat. Then they added the Grymforge area as part of EA, sometime after what would be the halfway point of EA. I thought there was a still a message...

    Twas a bit of a joke, I know you will be spending way north of $12k to get those requirements. Hell, it was probably next to impossible to find a ~15 year old Tundra before the pandemic bullshit, for $12k or less. Trucks in Texas have always been ridiculous and Toyota has the comparative...
