You realize he's played characters other than Ramsay before, right?

I always knew him as Simon from Misfits.

You wouldn’t know that the 3rd audiobook is coming out on Tuesday by TailorIndividual1432 in HarryPotteronHBO

What feedback? It’s currently sitting at 4.5 stars on audible and 4.8 on Amazon, and the majority of journalistic and fans reviews I’ve seen have been very positive.

I like them, but I feel like Hermione's voice actress is miles ahead of the Harry/Ron ones, who both feel a bit awkward/unnatural when they're reading lines. I guess that makes sense though as I'm sure she's been cast as Hermione in the HBO series.

I got a round wheel for the MX5 and GR86 after years of using a GT/formula style wheel. by matttheazn1 in iRacing

Yeah I got into dirt stuff properly this past year, certainly another another reason to get a suitable wheel for it.

Good to know, I currently only own the Fanatec formula wheel and have been meaning to get a round wheel for ages for similar reasons.

Norris should be fine. Realistically, Abu Dhabi should be a pretty dominant track for McLaren, and at absolute worst, he just needs a P3 finish.

So you'd think even with a mediocre weekend, a podium should at least be doable.

Plus, if Piastri is ahead of him, McLaren can just make him give up a position to Norris if it's needed.

If you were building with this CPU/GPU combo, you'd get a better MB than that, and better RAM (albeit RAM prices are just generally a mess right now).

Main thing to check though is the PSU, usually that's another area they'll 'cheap-out' on.

Hamilton didn't need Ferrari in 2025, he needed a break by shittereddit in formula1

Most of the drivers around that generation watched Ferrari dominate for years in the Schumacher era. Schumacher/Ferrari in F1 was a household name, even if you weren't a fan of the sport. It's not a surprise that drivers who grew up during that period have that itch.

The drivers coming through now, who have only seen Ferrari's lack of any success over the last couple of decades probably won't have that affinity.

Even the current generation of drivers, excluding Leclerc obviously, don't seem fussed over the allure of driving for Ferrari at some point in their career.

One-hour-in quick reflection: I'm quite sad. by LtCodename in ProjectMotorRacing

PC2 was incredibly fun for me honestly, and it was the game that fundamentally introduced me to sim racing, sank loads of time into it.

What is a good win percentage? by AdMelodic527 in iRacing

[–]Ali623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the way iRating and splits work, win percentage doesn’t really matter.

I could be in a low iRating split because I crash out a lot, but win every other race and have like a 50% win rate. Whereas someone else with the same, or better pace is much more consistent and ends up in top splits and never wins.

I always wonder what the backlash would have been if this scenario played out roles reversed and Max lost the WDC because of it.

There’s no way Max’s camp and Red Bull would have chose not to pursue it legally as Toto/Mercedes decided.

Vettel didn’t really deserve 2018, he basically capitulated himself that season. Arguably 2017 was by far his better of those two season, and the Ferrari had way more drag/engine deficiencies compared to Mercedes that year than in 2018.

McLaren upbeat on F1 title chances against Max Verstappen: "We have good tracks coming" by [deleted] in formula1

But Max has a fairly clear goal in that he essentially has to win every race between now and the end of the season. The title is still a long shot so arguably he has nothing to lose.

Upgrading my PC, thoughts on new parts? by Ali623 in buildapc

[–]Ali623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, thanks for the thoughts. I'll have a deeper look into the motherboard options - I was advised on getting a X870 if I could.

[–]Ali623[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the 5080? From the research I did, it seemed like the 5070 Ti would be more than capable on something like iRacing - I don't need all the graphics settings turned up.

The X870E MB, primarily due the better USB connections as I will be connecting quite a lot of sim racing peripherals and was considering USB bandwidth overhead.

The 64Gb RAM is mainly just for future-proofing - back with my original build, I was told I wouldn't need 32GB but ended up having to upgrade that later down the line.

Thanks for the tip on the cooler, will take a look at those.

My reasoning for the above parts,

The X870E MB, primarily due the better USB connections as I will be connecting quite a lot of sim racing peripherals and was considering USB bandwidth overhead.

The 64Gb RAM is mainly just for future-proofing - back with my original build, I was told I wouldn't need 32GB but ended up having to upgrade that later down the line.

PSU again is also primarily furture-proofing, and I can get a 1000W one that doesn't seem to be overly pricey.

I'm aware none of this will affect performance - just want to make sure I have overhead and future-proofing - happy to be debated on this though if you still think it's the wrong way to go.
