  1. Insightful
    JGreen got a reaction from J-ride in What do you guys drive? (Car Thread)   
    I should lead off by saying that I actually learned to drive with a manual, so that likely affects my feelings about driving manual. 
     
    I think one of the big things about manual vs auto is the main purpose of your car. If it's only to get to point a to point b, than an auto is better. To me, I like the greater involvement behind using a manual. I enjoying rowing through the different gears and the process behind it. Before my current car, I had a BMW M4 with paddle shifters, but found the paddles boring to use. As a result, I never used them and didn't feel like the drive was engaging. My M4 was fast, but dull to drive. 
     
    A manual also makes me feel more connected to the car and I get a better sense of what it's doing. I can feel the different gears engage when I'm shifting and controlling the gas. Then, nailing that perfect rev matched downshift and hearing the loud crackle from my car's exhaust is amazing. There's also a thrill when you're driving at speed and need to shift a gear. Steering with one hand, even briefly, is something else when you're going fast.
     
    All in all, I'd say give it a shot. You might like it. You might not. Manuals are dying off for a reason afterall.

    I’m really fortunate and drive a 2018 Porsche GT3 with manual. It’s a great car that comes alive taking twisty backroads, but has enough practicality for me to daily it.

    JGreen got a reaction from RSG3 in The Zelda Thread: TOTK officially out May 12th, spoilers out now. Avoid social media if you can.   
    If any of you wanted the Zelda joycons, Nintendo has them up for sale on their website. Just put in my order since I missed out on the preorders.

    That is how you draw Wonder Woman. She's a warrior. She shouldn't be drawn like a bikini model.

    Uzaki can't be toxic because she has huge gozangas and knows the truth behind chocomint.

    If you trade the Dragon God Soul for Fireball, we can't be friends anymore.

    I’m a big fan of firestorm which you can get if you free Yuria. I had never played a Souls game with a magic build and focused my build on getting firestorm quickly. It melts a lot of bosses and was well worth getting. If you’re more of a faith build, than Wrath of God is a great choice. 
     
    Wrath of God and Firestorm are probably among the strongest spells in the game. If you don’t have the stats for either, just pick whichever one you might want for a NG+
     
    the other spell is fireball but I don’t think many would recommend that over the two.

    A couple other things that might help:
     
    -watch his head to see where he’s looking when you’re running between hiding spots
    -you can use magic to break the piles of rubble but arrows and bolts don’t work
    -if you’re pure white world tendency, look around the stage for items
