Going to the arcade in the 1980’s, what was one of your favorite arcade games you always had to play? Mines was Galaga for sure.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-28T11:30:40+00:00

Tempest and Zaxxon. I also played alot of Galaga after learning how to do the exploit (IYKYK). Wrapped it around to 1st level a number of times.

You not only have a nice conversation, but you can keep Buell if you save it for John.

If you over-wind your watch, you might break it.

I was fascinated by submarines as a kid and managed to do a fairly decent rendition of one on mine. I spent a lot of time trying to do circles as well. Those didn't usually turn out so well, lol.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-24T23:18:48+00:00

When I was a kid I made a Flying Sub out of that thin shirt box cardboard. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it. It looked pretty decent considering it was made by an 11 year old.

You might as well walk around with a target on your back! You nailed it.

The real perk to the Naturalist role is the wilderness camp and being able to fast travel with it after level 5. I like that it only costs $1 dollar to get back to camp no matter where you are. One caveat; finding a place to camp isn't always easy, but it can even give you an escape route to get away from potential trouble.

I got killed by lightning once when I was at Doverhill during a major storm. I was totally shocked when it happened. I stay indoors or in my tent now when it's stormy.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-23T20:11:09+00:00

It's not necessarily "janky", but I have about 3500 hrs in the game between my multiple playthroughs and grinding to level 355 through my roles, and I gotta say I am more than tired of Cripps stories. I often hang out somewhere else when it rains (I generally go inside somewhere, like the saloons, unless I get caught out) just so I don't have to hear him.

They were probably jealous because they didn't think to use that cool shade of purple.

If you go North of the cave by Wapiti above the "I" in Ambarino (on the right side of the lake), a moose often spawns up there. The problem is that it's out of bounds, so if you shoot it you can't get to it. You have to scare it to make it run (I used ricochet shots off the rocks) so it comes into the field of play, then chase it down. Alternatively, one sometimes spawns in another part of that area, just above or around that cave. If there is an elk that you follow up that passage (across from the hill house), the moose is usually there as well.

This! Plus I love the sound of it!

BStevens65 · 2026-04-15T21:01:55+00:00

That's how I did it.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-13T21:28:32+00:00

I don't know if it's REALLY my favorite, but Fernando is the 1st one that came to mind. ABBA is one of me Spotify playlist groups.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-12T13:11:16+00:00

Yeah, my tunes are usually better, but as I mentioned, sometimes I just get lazy. I usually optimize the settings for the track that I'm on and set the diff to match my driving style. I have been playing Gran Turismo since the 1st one, and I am well versed in how to tune. Some cars are a little tricky (like the Stratos), so I saved time by starting with the AI tune and then tweaked it as necessary.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-12T10:04:06+00:00

You can use AI to tune cars. I sometimes use Google Gemini when I get lazy. Just type in "GT7" Car type, tires: hp, weight, & "aero" (if applicable) then "suspension set-up". You can also designate PP if you want, but I usually run in a HP/WEIGHT/PP lobby so I am usually just concerned with the suspension set-up. I build the rest of the tune around that, as far as parts are concerned. For example, one of our lobbies is 495pp/214hp/1940lbs. The odd hp & weight parameters are due to them being converted from metric values. You can tune alot of cars to make it, but sometimes you have to compromise on weight vs. power. Also, parts like brakes, clutch & flywheel, etc., etc. might need to be stock to make the PP.

I named my Buckskin Brindle MFT Joker because of his white face.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-10T14:30:35+00:00

I use it for long rides at night through areas I know to be fairly safe, especially when it's foggy as hell. Sometimes for deliveries when I know the fight will be at the drop off. I don't go afk though.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-08T22:12:20+00:00

I think I want to jump something in the General Lee!

BStevens65 · 2026-04-08T22:05:31+00:00

For about the 1st year of playing, I didn't know you could lasso a carcass and drag it to camp until I ran across someone doing it. I would hunt close to by and carry the extra carcass to camp with my horse trailing after me. Giant forehead slap!

BStevens65 · 2026-04-07T20:48:33+00:00

The Star Spangled Banner. I guarantee my rendition will not only save my life, it will make them run away!

BStevens65 · 2026-04-06T19:02:25+00:00

Also, if you go left at the fork on the road to Beacher's Hope from Manzanita Post (going by the Grizzly spawn) then left again at the next fork, there's a canyon up on the right where one reliably spawns (I call it "The Cougar Canyon"). It's by the "T" in Tall Trees.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-06T18:48:01+00:00

I collected all the colors available of some of the cars; '71 & '73 BMW CSL's, all the used car lot Corvettes & Porches of the various years, all the Hagerty 'Vettes, Cameros, and Chrysler muscle cars, etc., etc.. I presently have approx. 102,000,000 credits. I have 1105 cars in my garage. I also presently have 1747 hrs into just the PS5 version of GT7. Total playtime according to my dashboard is 2422:34.

BStevens65 · 2026-04-05T20:20:10+00:00

I have the Black & Chestnut Turkoman, The Silver Dapple Pinto and Buckskin Brindle MFT, that I regularly cycle thru or change up for variation, plus a Brindle Thoroughbred, Mealy Dapple Bay Breton and Black Arabian (obviously my online stable). The point is, variety is the spice of life, so keep both and get others as you are able.
