    Toyota is the premo truck brand that commands premo truck prices. From my very small sample size of driving a 2010ish Tundra VS 2018ish F150, that rep is well deserved (also driven a handful of older trucks from Chevy/Ford that were all worse than the Tundra). @Big Phoenix: Dealers are going...

    People like to complain about the amount of changes that EU4 and Stelaris have gone through over the years, but it is really the thing that keeps me coming back to them. For example, I have 1000+ hours in the turn based grand strategy game(s) Dominions 3/4 but I have not really returned to them...

    There are people using borescopes and teardowns to show what these additives do. Now whether the visual differences actually help the engine run better, can be debatable. Bobistheoilguy.com did a teardown on an engine after using some Gumout on it, and it showed some noticeable differences (the...

    Surf around McMasters-Carr and see if you can find some specialty fasteners that will work. Take a hacksaw (least chance of collateral damage) to those bolts, or any of the other various solutions to getting the old bolts gone (soak in Kano Aerokroil Penetrating Oil; use a torch, smartly; or...

    The "tune up" is usually the colloquial name for replacing plugs and wires, along with the rest of the service recommendations that come along with that. Which is different than getting your car "tuned" on a dyno, which changes the computer programing for timing, fuel/O2 mix, and some other...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    I had changed it to two weeks instead of one, right off the bat, so it switched hunters and rogues when I looked at "all" VS. 80 percentile. Regardless, "all" usually has a good deal of difference to top parces on retail and I would imagine the skill gap will get bigger with the higher levels...

    Even that can change, depending on how you use the tool. "All" parses are kinda meaningless when you are counting a bunch of scrubs that can't play their class. I used to use 85% or better, on retail, when looking at log ratings:

    I assumed it was like the first Batman Arkham games (played the first 2), which I liked well enough for the story, the classic characters, and the stealth gameplay. Although, I skipped the side quest/collection/busy work (whatever format that shit took), and it still started to get a bit stale...

    Are they a good studio? All I see is PlayStation exclusive bullshit and after getting a computer, I rarely touched a console again (outside of 1000+ hours of Goldeneye with friends). Also, tried to skim through the Wolverine vertical slice game footage (it added 100 downloads in ~10 minutes):

    That's the schtick of HC WoW, and why a bunch of streamers are doing it. People tune in to watch them lose the whole character. I watched a couple of the bosses Rav did, and the world buffs make it trivial. Barron got off 3 Living bombs before he died and the 3 people all ran it out fine. If...

    Total War: Warhammer

    Yea, the the second game is the best game atm. It's also one of my highest /played time on Steam. Most of that was using the SFO mod, which I would recommend, after playing a game or two of unmodified vanilla, to get a feel for the game. It adds a bunch of tabletop/lore units and adds/changes...

    This probably fit better in the general gaming thread and, after reading it again, I can see how the second headline could be a bit confusing.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Generally, DKP was DKP and our Paladin healers let the raid know what they needed from cloth, so, at least the best of them got cloth. We had a few wife/girlfriend carries playing Pal healers, so not sure they were allowed to take cloth. Our tanks were funneled tank loot, including any 1h sword...

    The pro Paladin healers in vanilla used lower rank spells and cloth gear (Druids too, maybe)! That shit must have sucked, glad I wasn't a healer.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You may need to be 58 to get the quest to go there. If you are just going to get tradeskill stuff, then see if there is a portal to Orborus, or whatever it's called. Maybe ask a mage if it's not showing up in the mage guild. The intro quest is kinda long, but it was decent XP, if it forces you...

    The Pathfinder game had a mod fairly quickly that allowed you to autowin the auto resolve. Anyone checked out the mod scene yet? I agree with @Dr.Retarded in that the army battles were fun at first, but they weren't really able to capture the HoMM magic, so it got tedious. On the second+...
