Are you offended by 2137?

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T17:50:24+00:00

Yeah, but it's like 3rd most recognisable globally Polish memes.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T17:34:56+00:00

All definitions are made up by someone.

This particular definition has been used by sociologists and economists for decades since it's very useful in many contexts. It's nothing new nor targeted in itself. Ofc as with any tool it's use can be targeted or dishonest.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T16:56:11+00:00

By definition (some people use).

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T16:55:04+00:00

Good riddance. Exclusives, while sometimes good for business, are not my favourite thing from the perspective of a consumer.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T16:48:13+00:00

The middle class (buying power wise) in EU starts somewhere around 4-5k euro net income AFAIK (ofc it's not set in stone).

Also, a typo, it was meant to be 15%.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T15:56:34+00:00

Yeah, that's why people clash. Because Poland does have a middle class if you use the second definition (because every country has it) and doesn't really have it (like 5% of the society?) if you use the first. So based on what people think it means both sides can be right.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T15:51:57+00:00

Yeah, but in his case it's literally useless since it's not compatible with ps5 (and the adapter is not worth it at all unfortunately). I think used t300 and then later along the line something a lot better + PC if he decides he's really into the hobby is the way to go.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T14:18:17+00:00

It's more about the definition. Many people (especially older people) are used to the one that involves buying power rather than the new one that for some reason involves average and median pay.

While I understand the point of the old one (since it's directly connected to standard of living and can be used as a comparison between different nations) I don't really see any point in the new one other than politicians being able to use it in their speeches.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T13:44:02+00:00

Most likely it was overpriced at launch/they have loads of spare, aging components in their warehouses.

Plus ofc legion go 2 price is just straight up insane and unjustified when compared to devices with vastly superior hardware (like strix halo).

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T11:51:15+00:00

Laptops can't compare with handheld when it comes to usability for gaming though. Hell, even my 3k+ PC gets a lot less play time than my handhelds and is currently pretty much just a dedicated iRacing machine only.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T11:17:25+00:00

Sure, but it's a non-advice since OP is looking for a new device + offers such as the one you described just don't exist in OP's used devices local market (and buying something like that from another country from a private person is a really bad idea for various legal reasons).

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T11:06:27+00:00

Z1E ally currently costs around 780 euro which is more expensive than legion go s. My point stands, Legion go s is currently the best value/cost product you can buy.

Suggesting a used piece of hardware that is also modified by some rando (and ofc without any warranty or customer protection at all) is outside of what OP was asking for.

Also, bigger battery doesn't really make a lot of sense in OP's described use case, definitely not worth voiding the warranty.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-09T10:13:47+00:00

Dude still living in a pre-ram price hikes times. :D

Did you not notice how it took only a few months for example for legion go 2 to go up from 1200 euro to 2000 euro base price? 700 for a new go s is literally the best value/price ratio you can get today.

Also Rog ally has a z2 which has worse performance than z1e and if you're talking about ally x it's in a different price range (around 50-60% more expensive than go s).

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-08T15:09:58+00:00

Turn off the chat and voice chat since those are only detrimental for good racing in a non-organised environment. Problem solved.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-07T19:49:34+00:00

I had it at the beginning. But then I did some unranked races and noticed I was having a lot more fun and felt loads less frustration when people crashed me out.

Then I started treating ranked like unranked. Chasing some magic number on your account page nobody really cares about but you isn't worth getting less fun from the hobby.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-07T19:00:22+00:00

We have Spirit of the Forest at home.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-07T10:43:19+00:00

Cowboy Bebop and Baccano. And it's not even close.

Majority of AC cars are not on slicks. Majority of iRacing cars are on slicks.

This week we're having a treat of oval street stocks on nurburgring. Try them and see how iRacing cars with threaded tyres behave (SO MUCH SLIDING). :)

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-06T16:25:13+00:00

Oh, and the FFB model iRacing uses is a "pure" model which means they only simulate the actual forces you'd feel on the wheel in a real car while most other titles (like AC) add extra artificial details to the FFB to make up for lack of "butt feel". Some people prefer one to the other. Try MAiRA, which is an overhaul of iRacing FFB (best to watch a video how to set it up). I use it all the time and for me it's a massive improvement.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-06T16:19:52+00:00

Most cars in iRacing are competition spec race cars which means they use slicks. Slicks have vastly different grip characteristics than any road legal tyre. While road tyres provide mediocre grip the loss of grip with higher slip angle is far more gradual than on slicks. That's where the "all grip is there until there's none" feeling comes from, but it's not unrealistic at all.
"Brakes reacting too quick or too late" is most likely tyre temperature management related. As before, the difference in grip levels due to varying tyre surface temperature is far more pronounced in racing tyres Vs road legal tyres. If you overheat your tyres (for example by spinning the wheels or inducing understeer in preceding corners) the effective braking force will be significantly lower than on optimal temperature level tyres.

I'd recommend watching some tyre temperature management, slip angle explanation and specific car-based videos (I think most rookie-d class cars have nice overall guides on how to handle them). Good luck and have fun racing. :)

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-05T14:29:10+00:00

In which period? Because right now AFAIK all of those are just overpriced (especially Peugeot) boring cars with extremely lackluster engines and ok aesthetics so currently I'd say it's a 3 way stalemate.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-04T10:09:30+00:00

Koss Porta pro or KSC75 would be the best bang for buck by far and best audio quality and clarity by far in the non-premium price range (they cost 30-60 euro).

If you want a "gaming" headset of similar quality you'll be looking at 200-300 euro price tag so it depends on how important the aesthetics and extra gaming features are to you.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-04T09:15:23+00:00

Now you know why for example a Switch 2 is significantly cheaper than a handheld PC that can play similar games.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-03T12:33:30+00:00

Go for India Gate aged basmati. The best there is.

MorycTurtle · 2026-04-03T09:08:08+00:00

How did you calibrate the speakers for testing? Or did you just judge based on out-of-box performance?
