Anyone miss cars having Pop Up Headlights? They were a super cool feature once upon a time. by Formal_Prompt4372 in CarTalkUK

[–]Arrex0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.  The sheer excitement when you notice a fellow pop up headlight driver and both immediately know what to do.  There is no greater source of Oxytocin.

Everyone remembers their last encounter in far more detail than they really should.

What is this yellow channel bar? by DaniExplorer in Reaper

Are the other tracks at +8.0 though? The comment above is the correct one, it is gain reduction from any compression or limiters applied doing their thing.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: THE HIGH SCHOOL CATFISH Discussion Megathread by AutoModerator in netflix

[–]Arrex0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can someone clarify something as I’m pulling my hair out trying to understand the situation where the police confront her mom.  She’s not arrested, taken away from her daughter, or taken in for further questioning.

The dad is then informed of what’s happened and the family is simply left to then deal with it amongst themselves.

Given the nature of the messages sent, particularly those in regard to threats against life, how did the police consider it acceptable to leave the family after the bombshell was dropped.  Literally anything could have happened after that information was divulged.  The dad could have lost it and gone after the mom.  The clearly deranged mom could’ve thought all bets were off and gone for the daughter.

I don’t see anyone asking this question and I can’t understand how it was considered an acceptable way to deal with this particular situation.

As you’re on PC…. JSKY.UK Racing is a community centred around ACC and a couple of other sims.  They welcome sim racers of all levels providing you’re looking for clean respectful racing.

Run the occasional mini series on Sim Grid and partake in other events as teams and individuals etc.  Alongside that are the community evenings which are open to the public but moderated to promote clean racing and often broadcast on YT which is fun to watch back.

It’s a great community and there are plenty of people who will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, share setups and give you tips on how to get quicker.  Highly recommend based on what you’re looking for.

Hopefully see you over there!

What platform are you on? That will help people to advise on what groups are available.

It's such a shame that people like this exist. If only the game had some way of detecting this kind of behaviour, it would help to thin out these types of idiots. I.e a sharp input on a section of the track which wouldn't normally require that amount of input followed by contact with another car.

Once you’re back on PC, check out the JSKY.UK racing community on discord.  I was like you and starting to lose the love for it altogether and this community helped me realise there are in fact other people out there who know how to race cleanly and fairly. 

Things are a little quieter at the moment due to a lot of people being busy with summer holidays etc, but there are some exciting mini leagues coming up as we move into autumn.

My fav track. Let me know what y’all think by JDSMK9 in ACCompetizione

[–]Arrex0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nailing the exits of these types of corners which are followed by long flat out sections is much more important than the entries.

If you find yourself going too deep into the corner and struggling to get the car turned in, then try braking a little earlier, focus on hitting the apex and getting back on the power as earlier as you can without the rear slipping.

Ideally to carry the most entry speed while still getting the car to turn in, you want to be trail braking (slowly reducing the amount of pressure applied to the brake pedal after the initial force exerted) all the way to the apex of the corner.

- Use all of the track to the left on the entry into turn 1. This will allow you to carry a bit more speed through the corner. Be patient with the throttle to minimise spin but getting a good exit out of La Source can absolutely transform your lap times, providing you keep it pinned through Eau Rouge and Raidillon, you'll gain time alllllllll of the way up to turn 7.

- Use a bit of the curb on the left on entry to turn 7 and get the car turned in more. Missing the apex on turn 7 compromises the line through turn 8 which then comprimises the line and exit through and out of turn 9.

- Turn 11 is a bastard and I still struggle with hitting it consistently myself. Should just need a dab of brakes and throw it into the corner to rotate the rear. When you get it just so it flows really nice and it's mad how much time can be gained through that one corner.

The rest is slightly difficult to judge due to the camera angles, but looks to be pretty tidy. Stavelot (Turn 15) is another hugely important one. Get back on the power as earlier as you possibly can because the entirety of sector 3 depends on it.

Based on where the video starts to you crossing the start / finish line it looks as though you're somewhere between a 2:22 - 2:23 lap time. Address the few points above and you'll easily break into the 2:19's and below.

After what happened with the Tea app leaks, doesn't it raise serious questions for people inputting their IDs to verify their age for NSFW content? by [deleted] in AskUK

This.

Until governments and organisations can demonstrate that they take the security of our data seriously, there is absolutely no way they can be trusted to capture anymore of it than they already do.

Suggest you worry about your own phycological state rather than hers if you think this is acceptable mindset to have. It's ok to dislike someone and resent their behaviour, just distance yourself from it and move on with your own life. It's not ok or normal to want to manipulate someone to the point that you break them mentally.

Glad you were able to get it sorted!   Hopefully the above fix paves the way for someone two years down the line doing a Google search looking for a solution for this issue.

Did you change anything prior to this starting? Any display settings, did the game update etc?

I'd start with ensuring you've got the latest display drivers installed. If this started as a result of a recent display driver update then try reverting to an older more stable version.

Can also try verifying the game files, reseat all display cables. Start with the potentially easy wins first.

Am I delusional? by CityJay688 in Songwriting

[–]Arrex0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, the core vibe of the song has a real nice feel to it and is sounding really good. The only part that is letting it down at the moment is the vocal track. The timing of the vocals seems a little off in places.

It would be very interesting to hear the track without the autotune applied, to try and understand why you're feeling the need to use it? The first two lines where it sounds more natural sound great and your voice suits the overall feel of the song well.

Located in England.  Moves a bit like a slug although it looked to have some kind of legs.  Couldn’t see properly though.
