So that's why you always count up to 11.

As long as you have only 4 on the other then it all evens out. Good to go.

Here's hoping. Some of the current pieces and sets could use a rework.

You must be that little brat I taught a lesson to all those years ago. Simply incredible.
Have you been chasing me your whole life, only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I've ever heard.
How marvelous.

Not really, it just makes you handier than most.
I would give you a big hand of applause, but you have it
handled already.
Although an extra finger can come in handy in certain positions.
Lemons to lemonade
That's what makes you better at slapstick humor.
You must throw one helluva knuckle ball.
You threw a monkey wrench into Eeny, meeny, miny, moe as a kid, didn't cha'.
It would add a new depth when playing handslap.
Were you ever in the mob? You know, as a fingerman.
It gives you a firm hand shake.
Wut. Acquiring me was 90% of the appeal of the merger. I just know it.
But of course, I always thought you brought a little something extra to the table, hands down.
Now, Just show em'

Sooooo, what's next? 
I kind'a lost track of what we're waiting for next with all this joking and bantering...

There’s a different thread about it. But here in the 2.6 thread we can get back to why they messed up the dew collectors of 2.6.
It’s inconceivable!!

Seeing as how people complained about the Fun Pimps removing glass jars, and they have now returned dew collectors are useless.
Fire trucks and fire hydrants are in the game but no fire extinguishers? The game needs more Deco items!

good to see the city stutter finally addressed, that was easily the most noticeable issue for me

It wasnt noticeable for me on pc but on console it got pretty bad mostly in down town wasteland

I don't know how accurate this is, but sounds like the AI found the correct information:
LOD stands for Level of Detail — it's a standard rendering technique used in 3D games. Here's what it means in 7D2D specifically:
What it does: LOD Distance controls how far away objects are before the game switches them from their high-detail 3D model to a simpler, lower-polygon version (or removes them entirely). The further away something is, the less detail it needs — LOD lets the engine save GPU/CPU resources by rendering simplified versions of distant objects.
What it affects in 7D2D:
Performance impact: LOD Distance controls the long-distance LOD of meshes and the size of the game world rendered at a time, and like other LOD settings, it doesn't have a large observable impact on FPS — but it does increase memory usage by 600–800 MB at higher values.
Advanced tweak: if you want more control beyond the slider, you can press F1 in-game and type gfx lodbias 4 (or any number) to push LOD distance further than the menu allows. The default at Ultra quality is around 1.5, so setting it to 3 or 4 noticeably improves object pop-in, though performance in cities may take a hit. Note this resets when you restart the game or change any graphics setting.
In short: higher LOD Distance = objects stay detailed from farther away, less pop-in, slightly more VRAM usage.

What it affects in 7D2D:
- Props and world objects (cars, fences, trash cans, bird nests, stop signs, bushes, cacti, etc.) — at low LOD Distance, these pop into view only when you're very close
- Trees — setting Tree Quality lower causes distant trees to render as stick poles until you get into closer range (essentially the same LOD concept)
- The transition point where objects switch between their detailed and simplified meshes

I don't think he can be aware, because the settings of the 7dtd are not a common situation for everyone.
And it is unlikely that anyone discussed this earlier on the Internet where the AI gets information from..
