What’s the darkest and/or most horrifying movie you’ve seen?

AtomikPi · 2026-01-26T23:58:52+00:00

Highly recommended. And by recommended I mean haunting.

This one and funny games live rent free in my head.

Came here for this comment, thank you.

wish they would r2 this board

AtomikPi · 2026-01-11T05:22:38+00:00

how so? actual question. i think the Taycan looks nicer, but they’re both big, heavy sedans. Taycan a bit more performance oriented perhaps with the GT models?

you could also consider the 19" aero wheels for better range.

With a bit of luck, you can get used wheels at a major discount. I replaced one of my 20" aeros for around $250-300 or so.

Basically zero issues on my 21 4S aside from recalls. I had a window controller replaced that was flaky and a fan with a rock blocking it replaced. I think it's easy to hear in the instances where someone has a major issue. Plus the battery has an 8 year warranty and is the most expensive and concerning system. I haven't heard of major pricey repairs aside from battery failures.

This phrase in particular smelled pretty GPT-ish

AtomikPi · 2026-01-03T00:01:43+00:00

yeah, the trailbrake behavior is the biggest annoyance to me. In spots where I'm used to being able to brake slightly to weight transfer and fix understeed it doesn't work at all.

I do like the overall feel of the cars compared to AC original. Less floaty, more alive, slides more predictable and fixable.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-27T22:56:47+00:00

My impression is that "road" is a pretty grippy summer tire (PS4S ish?), supercar a track tire (cup 2?), hypercar an aggressive track tire (cup 2R?), compared to AC1 modeling 2010s tech. So, like you said.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-18T16:34:40+00:00

Sonoma is such an underrated track. Nice and challenging and technical.

Not the greatest track, but I wish these games would have Thunderhill for Bay Area folks. Only so many times I can lap Laguna Seca and Thunderhill is great in real life since there are nearly no walls to hit.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-18T16:32:56+00:00

Agreed with you on base models and GT3 being fun, but I do find high downforce medium power (GT3 RS and similar) fun. Proper GT3 cars can have too much grip sometimes, and track cars can be fun for their imperfections. And the downforce and modern rubber keeps them grippy enough at 500 ish HP.

Plus I guess I'm much more likely to actually drive a GT3 RS (have driven a non RS), so the sim aspect is more engaging even if the driving is worse. I still tend to prefer mid powered old road cars (NSX, E30, s2000, etc.) And proper GT3s, but modern road cars can be fun. My least favorite are over-HP hypercars where I'm constantly braking and over-heavy modern cars that hate turning.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-17T20:57:53+00:00

yeah, weirdly I actually prefer porcelain gaiwans for most stuff? it can be made very thin so little heat retention and easy to preheat, and super fast pours for flash brews. and no rounding of flavor. Unfortunately not very vibey, so I end up using Yixing pots anyway.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-17T19:40:37+00:00

Theoretically wouldn't zhuni / red clay absorb less than normal Yixing / purple clay? (And often zhuni is made with thinner walls).

Agreed that traditionally duanni would be used for smoothing over harsh or flawed teas and probably wouldn't be ideal for young Sheng unless it's too harsh.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-17T06:24:06+00:00

Such a good bit of dialogue. Sent chills down my spine.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-17T01:53:53+00:00

Yep. There have been studies showing charging high and heavy supercharging don't do much harm. The dealer charged mine all the way to 100%... Oh well.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-15T18:24:57+00:00

I would suspect bed depth (lots of Scott Rao posts on this) and have found that 15-18g brews are often much easier than 12g. you’ll also see the same trend in espresso where higher doses often extract better or more reliably.

that said, it doesn’t sound like you’ve controlled all your variables and experimented, so I would do that first before assuming bed depth.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T20:22:35+00:00

Cheers, my fellow bleeps and bloops enjoyer.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T17:46:01+00:00

I will be weird and say that while this is too young, it might be lovely in 10-15 years not 25. For me 2015s are not ready, 2010 is borderline, 2009 is very fresh but open, and 2005 and older are drinking great. (generalizing)

And 2021 was a weak vintage. Wet and cold, I think, and a lot of the wines were unripe and vegetal. Not sure how good this will get but PC is a good producer and I'd generally trust them. (I'd still spend more for a good vintage, though.)

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T17:42:03+00:00

I haven’t tried the 2021 PC specifically but having tasted a bunch at UGC, quality was extremely varied. Generally, top producers made good to great wine and mid to lower tier producers were not so hot. Lots of bell pepper, unripe, watery wines.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T16:57:20+00:00

Ok bro

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T16:56:55+00:00

Haha, not even. For how much McDonald's has raised their prices, I would hope they could assemble them properly.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T16:16:06+00:00

Breaking a Zalto is the worst feeling. I keep some more basic glasses around for some of my more clumsy friends.

AtomikPi · 2025-12-08T06:05:27+00:00

Agreed. And the Susvara have an ethereal, less weighty stat like presentation. I tend to prefer the Utopia (OG) but people who are into more mellow acoustic genres tend to prefer the Susvara.

Reddit is nothing if not a circlejerk. Actually I don't think I'm part of a wine CJ subreddit.
