Back when a console game meant Tomb Raider and the only way to play a decent shooter was on a PC, is when you were hailed a geek or nerd

Then came halo and the cod series and see ya later, no recognition for being an OG shooter gamer though

We fought the wars that won't be remembered

Couple articles about this. The identity of a geek gamer has been lost & blended into everyday norm.

The people who suffered through it and built their identify around it have nothing to show now.

Only thing they can do now is vent/rage at newcomers. Cause hate on the Internet.

Same thing happened with the cinema-goers with scifi. Now every new blockbuster is based on a comic book with your mum/dad going to watch.

Yes and now grandparents downloading torrents and swapping portable hard drives wtf

I remember having a pocket PC (windows ce ftw) in year 7 and copping never ending shit for it - these days you'd get bagged if you didn't have a more capable smart phone lol

Had a HP pocket pc in 2003, kept it in my blazer pocket, as was the style at the time. Couldn't afford the CF card wifi adapter.

Did have the foldable keyboard to type notes though. I was like sent from the f**king future.

Achieved 48/50 study score in IT in year 11 at age of 16.

Career councillor said electrical & comp systems engineer. Did 1st year electrical eng & was like wtf do not want any of this shit.

Was planning to switch to business IT but didn't want to waste the 1yr of engineering studies.

So picked the next best option which was process engineering with a stretch at process improvement in IT.

Now I'm stuck writing excel macro's for clueless managers & being IT support when IT has nfi.

This was my baby; saved up $400 and bought it from Brashes. Massive euphoria when I got it home; don't think I opened the box for a few hours at least.

I managed to fit one Blink 182 MP3 on it - before iPods or even portable MP3 players existed

I predict role playing board games/cards to become the next mainstream thing.

Pokemon cards already worth a mint, think about how many kids binned them to act cool in highschool lol

pfft all you people are like modern day tablet fiends and iphone watch enthusiast from back in the day.

y'all be complaining in 10 years about how you only used your tablet to play flappy bird and could only fit Chicago's discography on it before running out of room and how you were the cool person using it as a camera at events but it was silly in hindsight.

I don't understand his appeal, and don't see how there is even a target demographic for what he does - I think he got lucky finding his niche and just kept doing the same old formula whilst evolving it for interest, including involving his girlfriend in videos

Have watched his videos before with an open mind and he just seems to say nothing but annoying self made catchphrases and cartoon like squeaks, like a naughty kid in class with ADHD

Nothing against him but fark who would subscribe to that

I know, 27 million people

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
