    Dating Russians

    Hah! That's just the thing though.. Previous to this experience, you'd hear your friends talking about dating a "crazy chick" and I too would just chalk it up to some hormonal outburst or a girl generally being overly emotional. Then you date a gal like I described and you learn, to your horror...

    Dating Russians

    Which is exactly why I pointed out the sending money home is absolutely 100% the norm. No such thing as retirement. It's left to the younger generations to send money home for parents, grandparents, uncles, siblings who can't work abroad. Then you hope someone else can do it for you when you get...

    Yea, no doubt... but still there is hardly any 4K media. BR, pirated, or otherwise.

    For reference, mine wasn't in the US. Dated a gal here while working in the Middle East. There's a shitload of them all over the gulf earning a living to send back home.

    Just need to step in here and warn about the Filipina experience. It's probably best described as the best and worst relationship in my life. Hot gal, kept fit, amazing sex, super committed, and keeps a good home. However, there are MANY downfalls. I had a friend best sum it up as "Filipina gals...

    This is why I haven't bought into the 4K TV shit yet. There's still no god damned content and the standards keep changing (HDR, 10 bit, etc) prohibiting anyone nailing down formats. I just hope my good old 75" Samsung LED holds up for another X years until 4K becomes mainstream.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I literally built and owned the fastest privately owned MKIV Supra in the UK many moons ago. The only faster cars were owned by tuner shops. I'd provide links, but it would reveal my IRL name here. ... only point this out because you assert yourself as a dyno professional. Again, I said with...

    Recommend Binge Worthy TV Shows Here

    I binge watched Stranger Things all in one sitting when it came out. Really cool original show and kid actors with talent. I also recommend. I will have to take a look at The Expanse.

    Recommend Binge Worthy TV Shows Here

    Had really shitty cold windy rainy weather this weekend, stuck in the house. I really tried to find something new to binge. Couldn't come up with anything. Fired up Breaking Bad for a re-watch. Can't go wrong there.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    On those cars which are not designed for it, the alignments do go to shit. You end up driving on the inside wheel and have a contact patch a fraction of the normal size. aka, your car can't handle for shit due to lack of traction. There are vehicles designed specifically for air suspensions...

    Bidets, and why you should buy them

    Been contracting and living in the Middle East for a while now. As much flak as we give these desert cavemen for their sheer ignorance in most things, I will say they do appreciate clean undercarriages! You won't find a single public restroom without one. I wouldn't even consider what you guys...

    No Whatsapp love? I have used it for 6+ years now. It's amazing for creating chat groups and you can basically text, phone, video anywhere in the world. I have family across the globe and I created a "Family" group. We can all keep up and post pics / whatever in the group at our leisure. It's...

    Or, do what I have done since the server opened... run off island 1. You don't zone into FP like usual, you just land on the bottom of the zone in Sky. Run directly under EoV with a pet class and pet pull (need MQ2 to target EoV). Just chain send pet until it's agro... bring pet back want wait...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I've no clue what the current composition is. When we rolled Classic to Velious, we had a solid 1/3 of the guild from our old classic Live heyday. Someone shot out an email blast from the old boards and old members came out of the woodwork to join. I imagine most that are left now are random TLP...

    I was in from Classic to Velious until I quit. Still have some contacts if you need to get hold of someone. I was under the impression they were moving to Phinny a while back.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Honestly, an intake and an exhaust mod are not going to alter your air fuel ratio enough to worry about running lean / hot cylinders. Would it be great to run a tune? Absolutely! Is it at all necessary? No.
  25. Jysin

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You are fine running stock tune on intakes and exhaust mods. Don't listen to that nonsense. You can search the net for a million examples of people running that just fine. A tune would help your power for sure, but you won't have issues without it.

    Tried to run the tutorial in W98 compatibility mode. It's asking for missing .dll files.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I owned and heavily modified my own Supra MKIV. Tons of people ran intake / DP / exhaust without tune. I don't think it will hurt things, but you aren't going to get the most performance without it. Intake / Exhaust mods only aren't going to effect the AFR to the point of any measurable damage.

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    Sounds more difficult than NL. If you farm some solid gear and max AA for the xpac you are working on, you can definitely kill Vulak etc with your own 3 box team. As Deruvian said though, this is based around having a permanent Evasive Discipline running on your tanks. Without it, the entire...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    Ah. For some reason I assumed you made yours from the NL db when it was made public. Both the resurrected NL and your VoG went up around the same time. Definitely couldn't transition that easy then. NL isn't using standard PEQ to my knowledge. There was a huge mess when Maze and Secrets tried to...

    I brought it up because it seems Control is far more active. NL server owner has been MIA for months. Some work still gets done by Nisea and Snacks, but they are pretty busy these days too.

    I honestly just gave up on in-car Nav. A good phone holder for the dash and Google maps is a far superior option. Plus it updates constantly and for free, plus traffic diversion for accidents etc

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    It wouldn't exactly be right anyway. This server has increased proc rates, which can change how things parse vs live. You can head to the arena and do your own parsing if you can't make up your mind with weapon types. It is the same quest, however, the shard drop rates are massively increased...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    @Control There is so much overlap with NL server and yours. Unfortunately, most Dev work has ground to a halt on NL. It would be great for population and both servers if there was some type of merge. If I am not mistaken, you used the NL backup database when it was first nuked to bring your...

    You CAN 3 box those raids on NL server, FWIW. PoP definitely has some bottlenecks you would need assistance, but lots are willing to help.

    Again, I assume you are stood right in front of the thing on display at the store. I have seen even the high end 80+ inch Samsungs on display and if you stand back at the view distance of your living room, I just don't see the benefit. (FWIW, I already have a 75" 9000 series Samsung)

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I remember our Vulak farming ended abruptly when they put in that bullshit Ring Event to spawn him. It just took an eternity to get through. We did it maybe twice before retiring Vulak from the raid schedule. Even during the farm days, it was difficult to get what you wanted. Aside from...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Same with a lot of classes tho. Even as a War, you'd only swap out for a Blade of Carnage or a Sceptre of Destruction in Velious. Nothing else was worthwhile. Maybe you would use Jaelen's Katana if you were crazy lucky to get the Vulak drop, but even then it's terrible aggro and more of a dps...

    At least the rogue epic was badass. 40% haste was unheard of at that era. Necro was absolutely the most useless of them all. It was a 9 second cast snare dot when every necro worth their shit used the level ~30 snare spell because it cast nice and fast for low mana and got the job done. (The dot...
