2020 Crosstrek, 132k miles...

I wanna preface this by saying that I absolutely loved this car up until today. I live in the Appalachian Mountains, so this car goes on rough roads, but I don't drive it hard/aggressively. Stayed on top of oil changes and routine maintenance. 12k miles ago, the dealership had discussed a possible transmission binding issue at a routine oil change, but couldn't verify it at the time. Yesterday, the car started spraying coolant, and I noticed oil in it. Figured it was a head gasket replacement, which would have been a high cost, but I was willing to do. Towed to dealership, and while assessing they verified the worst case scenario regarding the transmission as well, so now I am looking for just a new car.

My question is what's been the overall transmission life for CVTs for you all? Has that been a more common issue in the 100k-150k lifespan for them vs other vehicles? Like I said, I loved this car, and initially I figured I would get a new Crosstrek, but really not looking to hit around this same mileage again in 6 years and I have a 10-15k repair bill.

Any insight is much appreciated. This just seemed like a very young engine still to have such a catastrophic meltdown.

In the minority

Every N64 game I played, I played like this. Picked up the new Starfox, and after 100's of hours on the original, muscle memory kicked right in with this Switch version of the controller. Glad to see there are some other sick minded folks like me out there. 😅 Keep gaming how you love to game, and have fun! Stay chill.

Work Getup

Kids got me this for Father's day. What is your typical work get up? Very professional button up and tie, standard polo, or do you have a little bit more fun with it?

The Bones in the meat make no sense, and the way he is holding the plate of food is awkward

Found on a shopping cart. Immediately struck me as possibly AI. The Bones in the meat make no sense, and the way he is holding the plate of food is awkward, plus the fire being under his hand.

How do we all feel about these remakes?

I'll be honest, I've been really enjoying developers revisiting the games of old and giving them a face lift (Mario RPG, Halo, Secret of Mana 3, StarFox, etc), and in exceptional cases (FF7) greatly expanding the story as well. How are you all feeling about it?

SNES and N64 Switch Controllers

You all are the council I would trust on this. Compared to the nostalgia of using the original controllers growing up, how do the ones made for the switch feel? Worth the cost?
