I want to breed her.

I still remember the first time I ever encountered one in fo3.

I'm walking near a blown out house structure with dogmeat. Dogmeat starts to growl so I turn to the dog, see the direction they're growling, turn and like 4 feet away tops I see "that".

Still not as bad as the time Dogmeat launched an oil drum down the hallway and the physics/sound gave me a near heartattack.

*intensifies*

Clicked through some topics and now the "previously viewed" topics are italicized?

I understand the intent but it doesn't look good

It seems to be only if there's a new post in that topic. In addition to the blue dot, but not sure if there's a blue dot for modern.

I also noticed on classic that quote and report are swapped. I went to quote, and almost reported, and quoting this is where I realized "hey, you sneaks"

Hard to say. The problem is most other times they do this garbage, there's so little other options that jumping ship and making it clear the redesign is garbage rarely happens.

Not saying Gfaqs is on the way out. But gutting features and making it drastically different for essentially the sake of making it different tends to go hand in hand with "It's streamlined and fast"

Probably because there's nothing there. It's not the first, and sadly won't be the last.

Why do new site updates always seem designed to take features away rather then add onto what worked?

As AOL put it when forcing everyone onto AIM 8.0 with less than 1/10th of the features of 7.5.
"It's a lightweight high performance race car"

I don't think I need to explain what happened in less than a year. Though that was probably coming regardless.

Thank you.

Where's that damn CJayC quote about never ripping the soul out of GameFAQs when you need it?

I think the only thing I like about this change is you can now show all platforms on the topic list and filter.

That's the only thing I like.

I swear the rounded edges conspiracy is getting out of hand.

I don't mind it in some places, but it's taken over too much for the sake of it. Is there seriously some sort of consumer safety where users are getting hurt/injured on a 90 degree angle of pixels?

Firefox users now have rounded tabs/icons, now this... and I see windows 10 is gonna incorporate rounded windows. The list goes on.
Btw I don't even know how to feel about this change... over than to repeat my other one *vomits*

I heard it was bad, but good god I thought it was some weird corruption/glitch.

*vomits*

I'm pretty sure it was Pimp My Ride, because I doubt Overhaulin' would do it.

However, there was one episode/car where they put a tv under the car so the person could watch it while working on the car from beneath.

I wonder how well that worked out.

Oh good...

The day ain't over yet

I don't want Bill Gates to put his nano machines in me. Or something like that.

I had to explain that to someone, then used it as a response, now I might roll with it. Kinda like those people who joined a flat earth society out of irony and then began to believe it.

I like that second dog passing by, wagging its tail like "wut's goin on here"

That one kick that sent the dog under the cart was satisfying.

I'm already have a hard time trying to explain the last 1.5 months to me 3 months ago.

I hope they at least shouted "it's just a prank" at some point.

Compact is still an option for me, but it's marked as unsupported. They better not get rid of that.

On Windows 10, the title bar no longer matches the accent colour you've set when using the default theme, and is now either white or black. Not a problem on Windows 8.1. So annoying.

Compact is tucked away in the about:config, and was apparently dropped in the past, before appearing there. So it's fate is unknown according to even an employee.

After using it for a few hours, it's not 'so bad' but I still dislike the size/design of the tabs in general, the nav bar/toolbar is also just weird due to the contrasts. I also noticed the randomly very bold blue border that surrounds a text field when focused. You'll see it on some, but not all.

Besides that, I feel the context menu and the bookmark/history etc menus are spaced out slightly too much.

Those are my only real gripes... minor in the grand scheme of things, but such wasted screen real estate in places.

It is, that's why things like world of tanks/warships, war thunder use the Iron Cross instead. It was still used by the wehrmacht and is allowed, but the swastika is illegal.

Hell, Forza Motorsport 6 removed the SS badges on Chevrolets because of a similiar concern, though it was never confirmed. However, seeing as they ban people for having a rising sun design on their car while having a vinyl base that looks like one already... then it's probably true.

I have a relative, whose dog shares the same first name as the relative's brother-in-law.

The dog was a rescue and not renamed, but it's still resulted in some lulz.

Rightclick in a toolbar, select "customize toolbar".
On the bottom, click on "density" and select "compact".

Don't work for me, I assume because it's desktop/PC. I got normal or touch to make it even bigger.

I'm looking at the complaints on the firefox reddit and apparently they removed compact. Also others are upset/bothered by the war on borders/contrast too. I keep thinking the navigation bar is part of the site it's so low/hard to find.

I don't mind some of the changes, such as consolidating some of the prompts/pop-ups or tweaking some stuff. But, good god I feel like it's crushing downward on the actual web content.

I don't have any extensions or settings expanding the toolbar area, just the window/tab space and the navigation bar row. It's easily 60-80% bigger than before.

I love how they even excuse this by saying it's to further let you know you can move tabs around... and maybe cram more control icons in there. I think my biggest gripe is that the window header/tab row is thicc for basically no reason. I can't wait until 90% of my screen is the browser telling me what page I'm viewing and 8% is pocket stories.

I really love it when 1/3rd of the screen is them pushing Discovery+

Still not the most intrusive overlay ad I've seen. I forget what channel it was, but they were trying to promote Mortal Engines at the time, and the overlay covered half the movie, rolled in from the side and was very animated to the point it literally lagged/stuttered itself and the movie. It wasn't just once, it happened every single time it got to that frame... and they pushed it at least 8-10 times that I saw.

I remember I once wanted to be a hammerhead shark when I grew up.

They don't really clarify the whole "you can grow up to be anything" thing.

dadda

Rooster Teeth seems random. I'm guessing they're part of the package or something

It was already revealed a few days ago that RT was up for sale. Probably got lumped in. Also kind of an animation/gaming/stuff thing so could have gone either way. Though I'm suspecting they saw this as a way to drop em on someone else.

Thing about girls like this is it looks like I would accidentally break their bones if we fucked.

She might be into that.

Every time I go into a kmart it's like a damn time capsule. It's one of those weirdly comforting feelings.
That said, I can't remember the last time I went there.. I know I bought my DS lite there, because apparently no one thought kmart had electronics, so they just had a stack of em.

I think the last I went was like... 4-5 years ago, at least.

No, unless she turns into a werewolf and eats me. I'll be dog food in that case.

I ain't being some vampire's hawaiian punch or something.

Everything from the king cobra down is a maybe, minus the large dog.
Even those feel like it'd be a pyrrhic victory.

I'm sad to see a spider or roach isn't in there, as even some can't punch a roach. Not my proudest battle.

The bikini armor is strictly to protect what's important. So long as the boobs and rest are unscathed it's perfectly fine to be attached to a gibbed corpse.

Boob lives matter.

So it'd be be like dry humping in a sports mascot suit?

No.

They're different/modified. I can only assume and hope it's also a seperate suit, but there's bound to be some that use the same for both duties.

Could be worse.

Could be Carpet Sample.

It's doable solo even on hard, though you're not supposed to start on hard. You're supposed to start on normal, and then increase it after 2 or so refreshes.

It's a fairly challenging game regardless, but becomes easier as you progress due to unlocking traits that increase your damage, critical damage, etc. You obtain traits via story progression or by getting lucky and getting a world spawn. Last I played it, even hard was a bit easy. Though they keep radically changing things, or least did.

It can be satisfying for what it is, but there's some absurdly difficult fights depending on your gear. Speaking of gear, don't go upgrading 1 thing pointlessly. Upgrade your preferred weapons and armor as evenly as possible, as an easy mistake is to raise your weapon to +8 asap for example, but your armor is +1. It causes enemies to force scale up and your armor becomes worthless.

Also tossing this in. It can be enjoyable, but gets a bit repetitive/predictable. The first few runs are interesting, especially when you regenerate the world and see how its layout changes.

The box is locked, it's robot fightin' time!

Hell yeah, leading from the rear.

The dashboard or gauge cluster/displays?
The dashboard can't be reflective/chrome or have pointy/edged bits anymore, because they blind drivers or in some cases potential impalement.

There's really only so much you can do with the displays... I guess they could improve them, but some still struggle to get the basics right. I don't expect to be gaming on a car's display.

Everyone talking shit about Nissan is getting me worried...

I have a 2008 Sentra with 75,000 miles on it. Please don't jinx it CE.

It's actually one of those cases of "the newer it is, the crappier it probably is". Those 3 in that alliance have been in a decline is all. Older ones are actually fairly stout comparatively.

One thing I'd try is to take a stud finder, if you have it, and run it vertically and try to find out if there's a horizontal brace/stud there. Hopefully you just hit a metal stud bracket, but it's really hard to tell.

Normally you have the vertical studs, but between them you'll find random horizontal ones. I ran into this issue last year after delicately measuring and marking studs, only to be cockblocked by half an inch by one.

I love it when the cap hardens and gets stuck. So you gotta fight for your booze. It's a novel feature.

It was the MTBF.

After 360 hours, it's on borrowed time. At least it felt that way, gosh...

From what I've heard the suspect opened fire and caused it, but that was from someone repeating it from another source, from another source. So hell if I know it's true. Still a shame.

It does remind me of some footage I watched about 2-3 years ago, where a man with a knife was terrorizing an area. Police showed up, kept people away, but there was an older woman on a bench in the area unable to get up on her own fast enough. Police were too hesitant and used less lethal beanbag/rubber from a shotgun. Guy managed to get close enough to stab and kill the lady as they switched to using lethal rounds.

Too hasty or harsh, they're bad. Too slow or leniant, they're bad.

20-80 k is a gross exaggeration. Ive had some electronic seat controls fall off a couple times and at most its 100 for parts and labor. My old co worker drives a late 90s e-class and had to replace some bearings. $300. No idea where youre getting 20 k for a cup holder lmfao.

It depends. I forget which era, but they did have a very complicated and fancy cupholder that deployed. It'd cost a few hundred or thousands to fix. Some also have hydraulic windows, which is a fortune to fix as well.
Either way the main advice for getting a used Mercedes is that they can turn into money pits fast. It's kinda like the Chrysler Crossfire that was around briefly. Only a 30-35k or so Chrysler, but it uses a Mercedes sourced V6, so maintence isn't normal Chrysler. Also used special low profile tires which were expensive at the time.

That high number wasn't specifically for one part, but rather taken from various sources pointing out why you see them so cheap. Because they can become money pits.
