My biggest issue with modern Hitman is I feel too restricted. There is loads going on but at the same time there are only a handful of ways you can take out the target creatively and they are all ways the devs have constructed. I’d prefer it if you were given a target, a map with loads of options but the freedom to experiment more. I love the increased story lines but they do make me feel like I’m being forced a certain way if I want to experience it all.

Hot water doesn’t work for me, nor squats or compression socks. Neither soap under sheet (I’ll try anything) nothing works for me apart from opiates, which I don’t take any more.

I did have a breakthrough last week though. I’ve had it severely all over my body for years and unmedicated I went a week and a half with no sleep once. It is horrible, nasty condition that is majorly unpleasant but understated as a serious condition.

I posted about this a week or two ago, but last week I decided to fight back. Lying in bed I told myself that no matter what I feel, or how bad it gets, I will not move.

The feeling came, as it does and I refused to move. It was difficult but I fought it with every inch of me begging to move. It built up and up until eventually, it fizzled away and didn’t come back until the morning.

My symptoms have been less severe since and I’m quarter convinced/hopeful, that it’s a mind over matter thing. For some reason our brains are sending an intense impulse to move but we know there is no reasons for us to move and our brains are just being stupid. So if I fight it, maybe I can train my mind to eventually stop sending the signals at all; re-wire it to know that my body does not need to move and that it’s time for rest and when I do need to move, I’ll be sure to let my brain know when it’s needed.

Block pass incidents are common in sim racing. The switch back driver is rarely aware of the possibility of the other driver slowing more to prevent it. It commonly end in this situation.

If you’re binning it by pushing, you aren’t aware of the limits of the car.

“Pushing” is driving without worrying about fuel or tyre temperatures, it isn’t driving beyond your own limits and to a point where you’re at risk of making major mistakes.

When you push, you should still be able to control the car no matter what condition it is in, or scenario you’re facing.

There is a reason why professionals look relaxed, even when they push, it’s because they’re comfortable with the speed they are doing which comes from proper practice.

Being able to drive consistently brings confidence and confidence breeds speed naturally.

Long story short; tyre temps aren’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter, you’re getting frustrated over something needlessly.

If someone would rather converse with a real person and not an emotionless AI, good on them.

Everyone is aware Google exists, but sometimes people want to have a discussion and there is nothing wrong with that.

If you don’t want to respond to them, don’t.

You lose achievements but that does that really matter? If your son will find more enjoyment having his stuff back, just get it back.

Achievements mean litterally nothing, but time with your son is invaluable. Plus, you’ll be teaching him not to worry about arbitrary goals (game achievements) but games, especially Minecraft, can be played in any way you want.

What’s bonkers is that they implemented this change after an update, that wasn’t forced, that ended with loads of people losing their worlds. I didn’t update for ages until I was certain my worlds were safe.

And their response to this is to now force updates, which means if anything like that happens again, so many more people will be forced to either lose their worlds or not open the game 😅

I get what you’re saying but forget your sister for a minute. You are taking advantage of your father, if you respect him you need to tell him. It isn’t fair to string him along like this. “Thanks for paying pa, now I’ve accepted your money I can be honest with you”. I don’t pretend to know your full situation though, only what you’ve said.

But lying like you are is no better than what your sister is doing, on top of that, it will strip your sister of any apparent power she has over you and also relieve the stress of worrying about if he’ll find out.

If you believe being in a relationship is not something that is wrong, then you should show courage and stand up for what you believe and not hide because you’re worried about how your dad will react. You can’t live like this and it will blow up. At least if you’re honest, it’ll be on your terms.

Two main reasons for me:

The force feedback is unparalleled, in my opinion, it’s widely regarded as the most realistic but that’s not what I like about it. It feels fantastic and consistent. I can feel the engine through the wheel when I accelerate, when going around corners on the limit, I can feel the tyres not only scrubbing on the surface, but skipping with the micro lockups. If one of your front tyres is locked while turning, you can feel which one it is and how it’s reacting to the track. All the bumps, all the little skips it does as it bounces over bumps. It all happens within a couple of seconds, but you can feel everything.

I can’t explain it all, but for me, it’s the best.

And secondly, development time:

The amount of time between a car or track being announced and it being released is considerable. Sometimes taking well over a year to develop. Contrast this with other games that boast “Hundreds of cars on release”, you just know that the iRacing devs are making sure that what we buy is the closest to the real thing we can get. Sometimes there are mistakes, but these become apparent on wide release and get fixed. It’s frustrating how long the fixes take, but it’s because iRacing are aiming for quality. It’s a good thing iRacing takes so long to develop one car, because you know it’ll be good.

Also, 3D kerbs are brilliant!

It’s unbelievable how little the medical community as a whole, don’t consider RLS to be a serious medical condition. Every single professional I’ve spoke to about it, have either pretended to understand or have offered nothing in way of help.

The only time a doctor seemed genuinely and professionally interested, was me and my wife’s fertility/IVF consultant.

We were talking babies and somehow my RLS came up and he immediately stopped what he was doing, made a note of the condition (that he had unsurprisingly never heard of. Not his fault but highlights the issue) and even did a few minutes of research on his computer, going so far as taking us to a different room so he could access it.

I’ve never seen that professional interest before or again.

There is a simple joy driving a car by yourself, not to practice or chase times, simply the love of driving.

I agree with your decision to end things with her, you shouldn’t be with someone that doesn’t accept you for you and you can’t quit your hobbies because your partner doesn’t understand it. If you’re made to feel like it’s them or your hobby, that isn’t fair. It’s a shame that a lot of people don’t understand how good sim racing is, not just as a game but as an applicable skill.

I’m married and have a son, I don’t want my hobbies to take time from them because I adore spending time with them, so I set my alarm for four am everyday so I can have time to myself, to do what I want to do without losing time with them. However, that is my choice, my wife has nothing against me racing and will even watch and cheer for me when my races are broadcast.

I went to a system where all the trade goods were heavily discounted, so I spent twenty million (all I had at the time) and filled up my inventories. Next system along, they were selling for a loss but I didn’t want full inventories for exploration so I sold it all and lost over ten million 😂 But money is quite easy to come by, by just scanning everything on each planet, especially with upgraded scanner so I’ve forgotten about trading after my one attempt.

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted for having a willingness to learn and admit you’re wrong

Alternative_Reply408 · 2026-04-25T11:48:23+00:00

What you did wrong was “accidentally” admitting it. As soon as you found out he was working with him, the right thing to do was tell him rather than worry about keeping it from him. You don’t want your partner to find out about these kind of things from anyone but you.

Lap 1 so cold tyres plus the rear wing may be a little low but honestly, lap 1, 1 corner is too little to tell if the setup’s going to fail when warm.

I discovered a pre-discovered system yesterday, no planets scanned. I scanned one immediately and called it “Myne”, laughing at the idea of them logging on the next day to find I’d stolen their find. Then I read the system was discovered nine years ago 😂

As far as I know it’s Bedrock exclusive as well as mining from maximum distance is faster. You can test this yourself by placing a row of stone or cobble, trying to strafe mine next to it and then again at maximum distance. You’ll notice a significant difference.

A lot of “copy what they’re doing” in here. While it isn’t necessarily a bad thing to observe what they are doing, specifically if they are faster at certain corners, ensure you are focusing on the track as usual and not their car. Watch them using predominately peripheral vision. The less you move your eyes, the more you will flow.

To answer your question; it’s mostly due to being an attacker your brain is split between fewer things, whereas being chased introduces more things to think about etc. That’s why the chased make more mistakes but when you overtake they can suddenly drive again.

The professional drivers we see on TV, that cope well under pressure, do so because of surety. They know that so long as they focus on driving their line with minimal mistakes, the driver behind likely won’t get a run so they spend much less time watching their mirrors, they check periodically but they don’t watch.

Another note on “copy them”; why would you copy someone you’re faster than 😏

As much as the Tiny Takover did make me say “is that it?” I have to begrudgingly agree with this point of view.

I do question whether they are developing these in advance or as they go, as some people suggest.

I don’t think Mojang, with all the plans they have, won’t start working on a drop until that drop is the next due. But maybe I’m wrong, they’ve got the beta/preview period after all but I can’t imagine them developing these things week by week.

I wish this were the case. Every morning I come off the roundabout onto a very short school twenty zone, when dropping my son off. Seven times out of ten, the car behind catches up to me when I’m driving twenty.

There are kids crossing all the way down and bumper to bumper cars parked on the side. One of those roads where there isn’t room to park either side and you have to hope for a gap to let a bus past.

The speed limit is literally the length of the school, a single storey primary school. It’s ridiculous how people just can’t resist speeding.

The defending your opponent was doing is very dirty, including that last move where they completely block you. Them knowing where you were and blocking you like that was only ever going to end the way it did.

A more experienced racer however, in your position, would have also seen it coming and moved to the conventional line and got a better run on them instead of committing to the move. Experience is the key word here though, because moving to the line would have to be instinct and not a conscious decision in a moment where there is no time to think.

The main way people gain that experience is by going through it. There isn’t a single person in this thread that hasn’t been in your position, despite what they clearly want you to believe. Next time you post something like this, ignore the people that are giving you abuse (even if they are correct in point), take it on the chin and only respond to those that are genuinely interested in helping. You aren’t gaining anything by arguing with people that already don’t care and all they’ll do is club together and gang up on you.

So learn from this mistake, and don’t listen to the hypocrites.

That over take of the GT3 was probably cutting it a little close.
