#34 Walking shoes in Off Topic

For walking multiple miles/day I can't recommend anything other than Bellevilles. I've owned a pair of 310s and 340STs, both are very comfortable after break-in and will last you forever. If I'm not mistaken all Belleville/Tactical Research boots can be resoled and definitely the ones with Vibram soles are resole-able. Their sizing info on the website is pretty much on-point. I would recommend getting some Neatsfoot oil and rubbing it into the leather when the boots are new however. This seriously cuts down on break-in time and makes the boots exceptionally comfortable.

alfaalso is this a dating advice forum now?

Just think of it as MGE with less airshots and more prefires.

#50 prom in Off Topic
MightyMeIs asking someone to prom really such a big deal in Amerika?

When I went to hs in my country and we had prom we just go there with a bunch of friends and eventually you will hook up with some girl(s)

It's a huge fucking deal for chicks, and because guys want to get laid they feed the girls huge amounts of romantic shit in the hopes that the girls will put out.

#78 THE REMATCH IS REAL in TF2 General Discussion
HueyLewisThe ringer they needed was for Acooma on spy, but the same thing applies. He's far and above considered the best this season and was very important to the flow of that match. Nobody would have matched up to him.

Lies, Arthur's spy play carried them in the 8v9.

clorgBasically you followed the rules to gay over a team because you felt like you had been gayed over before. Makes sense, I woulda done the same thing because I'm also pretty gay.

You forgot the best part, the team they gayed over didn't even have the major gayer from the initial incident in the match, and the gayed from the initial incident were within seconds of losing even with the return of gaydom.

I mean, Dicks in Butts is alright by me, so I'm hoping for the gayening 3.0 upcoming.

#50 buying a car, help! in Off Topic
mattertea+1 to buying slightly less than new.
What type of roads will you be driving on and what part of the country are you in? If you live in the north East or up in some mountains, you will see the benefit of AWD when the winter rolls back in, especially if it is anything like this past one. Subaru is my preference, but I've heard good reviews of the Honda CR-V which will get good gas mileage.

VW, BMW, Merc, etc may have comparably high repair costs to a japanese variety, just a heads up

It is important to note that AWD only helps you get going and turn on poor road conditions. A front wheel drive car with a good set of snow tires will be just as safe in the snow assuming the driver has experience/knowledge in snow driving.

Subarus get pretty poor gas mileage for this day and age and don't depreciate fast enough for him to be able to buy one that he's going to want.

If you properly maintain your German vehicle it will last a very very very long time with relatively low maintenance costs. Yes the parts are more expensive but if you follow the manufacturer's recommendations they'll last just as long or longer than Japanese counterparts.

vileyou'd probably find better answers on reddit. no joke.

There really isn't a whole lot to be said that hasn't been said. VW Group's compact and midsize line are quite good, get great gas mileage, and are overall slightly more expensive than their Japanese counterparts. Mazda/Honda/Toyota also make interesting compact-midsize vehicles that get decent gas mileage (not as good as VW's TDI cars though) and are more forgiving on maintenance while having worse interiors.

nickplusWhen i got it, it had 99K miles on it and the clutch lets out wayy at the top(5spd, not sure if its damaged or just how the clutch is, but not normal like most clutches) and has been really reliable so far.

High clutch engagement is typically indicative of a lot of wear on the clutch. When it starts slipping (which might be soon) you'll want to replace the clutch. A good way to check for slipping is to idle up to a tree (or put it in neutral and have a friend push you so you don't jack up your paint too much) then put the car in first and slowly let the clutch out. If the engine stalls your clutch is fine, if the engine keeps running you need a new clutch.

Edit: if it has a working parking brake you don't really need a tree.

#37 buying a car, help! in Off Topic
MarxistPutting money down helps if you walk out immediately after and go somewhere else if they refuse ;) Especially if you buy from an individual or an auction-provided used dealer.

Buying on a loan right now isn't a bad idea given how low interest rates are generally, but I have a personal aversion to making payments on things, and particularly in my state, if you don't own your car you get reamed on insurance/plates, etc so I just avoid it altogether and buy old luxury cars lol. I very nearly once bought a 1990 mercedes-benz, it even had a working parking sensor and rear-view camera, but I figured the v12 engine wouldn't really be a good idea and maintenance probably wouldn't be easy enough for me (some really fancy brands do really peculiar things).

There's a reason you can buy the old BMW 8 series and Mercedes S-class with the V12s for cheap.

Hint: It's because they aren't cheap after you buy them.

TheFragileI really appreciate the help from everyone. I'm eyeing up the VW Jetta TDI but I'm not completely decided yet.

That's a really solid choice. I can vouch for them getting 40+mpg in highway use as well as being comfortable to drive. If you can't get a manual don't be entirely discouraged, the VW group's DSG is a very very good semi-automatic gearbox.

#23 buying a car, help! in Off Topic

If you want a car that is a ton of fun to drive but doesn't get stellar gas mileage I'd recommend a newer VW GTI, slightly used Audi A3, a Ford Focus ST if you can afford it, or a Mazdaspeed 3. All of these are pretty fun cars that insurance and payments won't slaughter you over.

If you are looking for a little more economy I'd go for a TDI vehicle from the VW group or really any of the non-sport versions of the cars above.

If you decide to get an Audi or VW with the 2.0T you should be aware the cam follower (fixed on 2009 and later models) and PCV issues as they are easily fixed but are worthy of some attention.

E: Please ignore the butchery my phone makes of posts, I'll edit when I get to my computer.

#598 rayshud in Customization

I am truly retarded. Didn't realize that minmode in the picture descriptions in the first post meant the minimal version of the hud on page 1 of the installer instead of cl_hud_minmode 1.

Please forgive my ignorance.

Great hud as always Rays, all seems to be in order.

Cobra447BartenderAwesome, thanks! I want the installer to be fixed some day.BLoodSireusing the installer didn't seem to update, is that broken?Admiral_ObesityBLoodSireusing the installer didn't seem to update, is that broken?
Same thing going on for me.

Although it did recognize that a newer version was available and the title page says v 3.9.

Installer seemed to work fine here;

It might sound silly, do you guys have tf2 open while trying to use the updater? Will 10/10 times cause a crash. If you close it, installer should work without issue. I was able to update from 3.8.1 to 3.9.0 and to 3.9.1

@Admiral_Obesity rays released 3.9.1 yesterday with bug fixes. He committed them to github which looks to be where the hud installer grabs the files from. Rays probably didn't have a chance to update the post yet.

I got the "installation successful" box as well, and the hud version changed from 3.81 to 3.9 on the main menu, but the minmode and class select screens don't seem to match up with the screenshots Rays posted. When I get home tonight I'll
try removing the hud and reinstalling.

E: my phone sucks nuts.

#37 ESEA-Invite: Classic Mixup vs Froyotech in Events

I'm predicting a replay of last season. Mixup gets humiliated by B4nny's team in their first match, pulls a close loss in the second match, then Seagull clinches for them at LAN.
