Is this car still good without the tech package?

Hi all, I’m going to be looking at a 2012 sportwagon on Friday. I’m going to get it either way, however it unfortunately does not have the tech package. The navigation I don’t care about, as a 2012 navigation system is outdated af anyway, and I’d just use my phone.

However, not having a backup camera and having a worse sound system are a little bit important to me. This is a first car for me, and I can reverse into a spot with no camera, but don’t particularly know how to tell how close I am to what’s behind me without one (my dads 2011 Tacoma has a backup camera and it’s incredibly useful for seeing how close you are to what’s behind you.)

Then, is the base stereo really that bad? Or is it just fine? (I’m used to and fine with the speakers in a 2011 Tacoma if that helps.)

Power liftgate is useful but definitely not a dealbreaker or anything. None of these things are a true dealbreaker I’m just curious as to what yall think.

Worth it in 2026 for $35?

I’ve been considering buying BO3 again digitally while it’s on sale on the PS store. I own the game physically, however i do not have the season pass and the standalone season pass NEVER goes on sale so I’ve been playing without dlc for awhile. The $35 sale includes the game and season pass so I’m tempted.

Should I get this game?

Title. I’m wondering if this game is worth it on sale for $49 (deluxe edition.) seems very cool and I’m into RPGs but have never ever touched a soulslike game before, I barely even know what they are. I’m very tempted. Let me know.

Looking at a 2012 Acura TSX sportwagon, what do yall think?

It’s $8,179 (including fees) with about 189k miles. I haven’t seen the CARFAX since it’s listed on CarGurus but I sent the dealer an email asking for it. Visually it looks incredibly clean.

2006 GX470- Should I buy?

Don’t know much about these. Would be a sick first car for me if it’s a good one. Will post CARFAX link in comments because Reddit keeps flagging it if I put the link in the post. Advice appreciated heavily. Thanks!

Other team was LIVID with me for this play

Sorry for the terrible clip quality, no idea why it’s that bad.

To me… it’s truly a skill issue. I wasn’t sitting in one spot the entire time, I made a smart play and flanked them + using lots of cover and despite killing half of their team, none of them managed to kill me until the end 🤷‍♀️ it’s called being tactical. If this happened to me I’d be thinking “annoying but good flank” not “this guy sucks and he’s a camper and a blah blah blah”

one of the ones complaining was like 7 and 14 btw

Gotta give credit where credits due!

The last time I fully sat down and played BF6 was on release up until about January of this year. I put about 100 hours in, but after that, the initial hype began to wear off and the major issues started to show. (I don’t mean to sound like a trend hopper. I am a big battlefield fan and stick with the game no matter what. Hype can be blinding.) Mainly gunplay, audio, enemy visibility, leveling up, and content amount were my personal biggest issues.

Decided to pick the game up again today and while there are still plenty of issues, I have to say, my big problems were checked off. Enemies seem to be much easier to see, audio seems better, guns are way less “laser-y”, way easier to level up, and the amount of maps are awesome. I’m happy with the new maps and even happier to see there’s still another one coming soon + 3 more next season. They seem to be focusing more on QOL features and credit where credit is due, I’m having a fantastic time with this game again :)

PS, if anyone wants to play, hmu!!! Need people to run with!!

I've had a big change of heart about this game

Back when this game came out, I played on Xbox. Due to the dumb COD HQ, I couldn't necessarily tell you how many hours I put into it... but compared to MWIII, it was NOT a lot. For whatever reason, I just... could not get into black ops 6 like I usually do with COD. I barely played it throughout its entire lifespan, I barely reached prestige 1...

Back in January of this year, I made the switch to PS5. This obviously included rebuilding my library, which COD is a major part of. Today, I finally picked up BO6 and chat... I was really wrong about this game. After mainly playing 7, this game feels like a huge breath of fresh air. I do not hate 7, I think the multiplayer is decent, but the bad map design, over the top movement and weird feeling vibe/identity has turned me off from the game quite a bit (as well as the major AA nerf compared to BO6 and prior but that's just a skill issue xD)

Black Ops 6 has significantly better feeling guns, the maps have REALLY grown on me and I love the post launch maps (I never really experienced them since I did not play much), the hitmarkers are very satisfying, and omnimovement just works perfectly in this game, where I think it feels too over the top in 7. I have yet to try 6's campaign, but I am looking forward to the fact that it is an actual realistic story rather than...whatever the fuck 7's was. Overall 6 just feels like a more "boots on the ground" experience. I have nothing particularly against futuristic set CODs - some of my favorites are Infinite Warfare and BO3... but something just feels off about 7 and I can not explain it.

Maybe it was just COD fatigue, but I don't know what I had against this game. My biggest complaint was that it just felt boring, which I'd argue was true at launch but as the game comes up on its 2 year anniversary, I would say this is a damn fine COD game, a top 5 modern COD, hands down. I see myself sticking with this one for awhile, just like I have MWIII.

Absolutely adore this plane

Cessna Citation CJ4. I honestly forget Cessna makes whole jets sometimes

Been getting into planes recently and my dad gave me this!

Super cool McDonnell Douglas MD-80 model. I know nothing about model planes, I don’t know the size or brand that made it, but I’d like to show it off here :)

Apple Music (just a month?)

I know this is probably a bad request and is going to get looked over, if this gets taken down because this subreddit is more for NEEDS I completely understand. However I figured I’d shoot my shot and ask if anyone would be able to throw me an Apple gift card ($12) for Apple Music just so I can have it for the month until I can pay for it myself again.

I am in dire need of a car and quite literally can not spend a single dime out of my paycheck on myself right now. Music is my life and something that gets me through the days, and I am also quite devastated I can’t listen to Ari’s new album 😭 if anyone wants to, I’d be so so grateful. Thank you!

[REQUEST] [PS5] Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Heya! Title. The game is currently on sale (standard edition is $55.99, deluxe is $79.99 and premium is $103.99)

Despite this sale, unfortunately, even with my next paycheck, I won’t be able to buy it myself because I have to put basically the entire paycheck in savings. I’m saving for a car and while I want this game badly, I need to put my money towards a car. I’ve been wanting this game for awhile and would be eternally grateful for any edition of the game.

I’ve never been a super diehard plane enthusiast, I’ve always been into cars. But recently seeing videos of this game has REALLY piqued my interest, and the ability to just relax and fly around ANYWHERE in the world is something that is super appealing to me. I also got the chance to try Flight Sim 2020 on a friend’s rig a couple of years ago, and it was an incredibly fun experience. I just never got around to buying it myself because it is a VERY hefty price tag.

From the people I’ve chat with so far, the game has a really nice community and are relatively open to newcomers. You don’t have to be a know-it-all to enjoy the game or its community. I hope this game can be a gateway to a new vehicle related hobby. I’ve always found planes to be really cool, hell, any time I see a plane flyover I always look to see what it is on FlightRadar. I just never got into them like I did cars but I’d love to change that.

Link to my PS profile is below, however I’m unable to update my trophies/stats for an hour at the time of writing this. I’m in the USA, and the link to the game on PS store is below as well.

Edit: PSNprofiles has been updated :)

My, honestly only, gripe with PS5 (console wise) after switching from The Other Guys

Sorry for bad flair there’s no “discussion”

Why. The. Fuck. Doesn’t PlayStation have some form of “Looking For Group” feature like the other console has? I quite literally have almost no friends on PlayStation, I never have anyone to play with at all, because there is no looking for group feature. This is such a useful and basic thing that they could add but just won’t. I really only found people to play with on the other console through that and have made COUNTLESS good friends through their LFG. I don’t get why PlayStation won’t add it! Ugh!

17F, looking for friends!! (No older than 21 please!)

Just to be clear, the age thing is for my own safety.

Hi! My name is Shelby, I’m 17, trans girl, and a furry! I’m a huge gamer! I’m looking for long term friends on PS, and I play lots of different games from multiplayer to single-player, and I’m a huge car nerd, so I love racing games. I made the jump from XB to PS5 this year, so I’m very much missing the looking for group feature and have had lots of trouble finding people to play with! There’s a good chunk of games I play that I didn’t list as they are not multiplayer - but to get a sense, Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of all time. I’m very open to VC and when gaming it’s my preferred method of communication. ||If you are in any form transphobic, homophobic, racist, MAGA, etc, do not even think about messaging me.||

Games: in terms of multiplayer, I love Gran Turismo 7, R6 Siege, Call of Duty (BO7, MW19, MWIII (fav) BO4, IW), COD Warzone, The Crew Motorfest, Marathon, Overwatch, Battlefield 6, 4, and 1, Rocket League (casually), Fortnite, Ghost Recon Wildlands/Breakpoint, The Division (1 & 2), Screamer, Minecraft, Helldivers 2, EA Sports WRC, CarX Street, No Man’s Sky, Need For Speed (Heat, Hot Pursuit Remastered, Unbound, 2015), GTA Online, No Man’s Sky

Timezone is EST, though this doesn’t matter to me much.

How do I put downloaded ISOs onto the games internal hard drive?

Title. I have some games I put onto my USB stick but can not figure out how to get them onto the internal drive. Playing them off of the usb stick is annoying.
