I used to dream about getting a fiero and kitting it up in my early twenties. Seemed like such a cool project and achievable way to get something my broke ass could never obtain otherwise.
I grew out of that phase but it still doesn’t sit right with me to shit on someone else that might have lived out that dream. I hope the dudes happy and enjoying life more than anyone who has the real thing.
It probably is lol
Not probably. This is a shitty kit car.
And then you later find some common item with way better stats
Assassin's creed oddysey right here
Or you find out everyone gets this 'rare' item in the tutorial.
The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator's car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator's car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta.
Reads well but I can't make any sense of it and that is fine.
It's a quote from Snow Crash.
This post inspired me to create !itemshop@sh.itjust.works, and this will be the first post!
Subbed!
Eyy thanks
I'm not sure I've ever seen nor heard of a game where this situation could even apply....
Forza Horizon 5. The game literally throws hypercars at you within the first few minutes. It's fun though many people complain that it ruins the sense of progression (nevertheless the game has hundreds of cars, unlocking them all would take forever).
My third or so wheel spin got me the Lambo Forza Edition that comes with some massive XP boost for when driving around
Even though I liked driving my other cars around the fact that they couldn't go half as fast or earn the XP nearly as quickly made me use almost exclusively that for the open world bits. Felt too wrong not to unless I was specifically going off road or something
Usually I have come across this with poorly done DLCs. They offer some bonus item in game.
So if you buy the game with all the DLC in a sale then when you start the game you have all this extra stuff you wouldn't normally have. I can't recall the game but there was one game where I actively had to not use the DLC items otherwise the first part of the was way too easy and bordering on boring.
Ooh that one I've definitely had, ugh. So annoying when I just want to patient gamer and I start out with like GOLD GODS 420BLAZEITSNIPER FOR BUYING AT BEST BUY or whatever
Just Cause 3
Get the "Air, Sea, and Land DLC". Start the "Sea" portion. Get the Lightning Gun.
Now play the main missions, you'll feel like Emperor Palpatine with unlimited power.
Bit of an obscure one, but Fire Emblem Gaiden.
There is a miniscule (0.014%) chance for the very first enemies in the game to drop an extremely powerful item that normally isn't available until much later. Getting it early is absolutely wild because one of its effects is doubling stat gains when leveling up, which can quickly snowball your characters into godhood.
Now THIS is the first actual example of an early/tutorial enemy dropping a 'rare' item.
The Witcher 2, though it’s more of an exploit.
If you get the sword from the Lady of the Lake in the previous game, you start the prologue of TW2 with two silver swords, one being the Lady of the Lake sword. Unequip the Lady of the Lake sword so you don’t lose it to the dragon.
You now have a mid-tier silver sword that is good for half the game. You also don’t need to find a new silver sword at the start of the game.
The Witcher 2 really gets slept on imo. I actually really liked the story and Geralt slowly coming to terms with who he is, or was, in a world that is still trying to lie to him about both.
it would have to be a fairly atypical sort of game I imagine, most games with a premade tutorial world are not going to have anything too extreme in that world to find, unless its some sort of hidden easter egg. I could see it if its a game that uses procedural generation, but those kinds of games usually dont have much of a tutorial beyond maybe some short instructions.
I guess it could kinda apply in a very mild sort of way in GTAOnline, if you happen to be at the point in the very beginning where youre getting your first car and get free insurance on it, and happen to find one of the pre-customized npc cars that spawn rarely and are still cheap enough to keep after stealing, but those arent really all that rare or special.
Maybe an MMO with world drops?
Preorder bonus
When your parents promise to buy you a car if you get a job.
Why does this picture look so warped?
The lambo has a widebody kit on it. Makes it as wide as an F150 but only like 42" tall.
Who the fuck looks at a Lamborghini and thinks "not wide enough"??
Generally, people will widebody a street car for the aesthetic. They are imitating the production race cars that use wider tires to increase traction; wide enough tires don't fit under the stock bodywork, so the fenders come out further to cover the wider tires for aerodynamic purposes.
The Lamborghini Huracan GT3(production car pulled off the line to be made into a race car) is about 80 inches wide, compared to ~76" for the stock Huracan. For comparison, a Prius comes in at a nice ~69" and the F150 is currently ~80".
Flar car, wide man lol. Looking at the texts it doesn't look like they are that warped so I don't think the image is, or at least not too much
Seems like you'd burn more gas than you'd earn working this job, never mind the insurance alone lol
I had to take an Uber back to my car after a bicycle breakdown a few weeks ago. The guy picked me up in a white Mercedes Benz with white leather interior, and he didn't even care that I got chain grease all over his back seat. He was chatting about how he was going to retire once his savings hit $5 million. He was either clinically insane or I really don't understand the economics of Uber whatsoever.
Most drivers I've met seem to do it as a side gig. He might've been crazy/senile, but he might've just been driving for fun/extra cash
If I had a Lambo, I would sign up as a Deliveroo driver for sure!
If you have a few hundred thousand US dollars to burn, why wouldn't you say, go on a 12 month round the world holiday?
Rent a sports car in each city in Italy and France.
Why would you buy a Lambo and continue to in rural USA?
Why not do something bigger than yourself? Invest, make more, donate some on repeat
More like a dlc item
