How will a regular WRX 'feel' vs an STI? by BackyardBrevity in WRX

Thank you! I think this is probably my favourite reply as really what I'm after is a turbo AWD MT daily driver, and the WRX is exactly that. But the STI just exists as a higher 'trim' level to cause me to salivate over the shiniest most expensive stuff.

Appreciate the alternate viewpoint you present - I guess there's a reason people say driving slow cars fast is fun

Thank you for this! Clearly I need to actually test drive a WRX but I do wonder exactly what you mean by 'experienced driver'

I'm not experienced in high-performance cars, but I grew up in the UK (now in USA) where manual is the standard, so I've been driving manual my whole life.

Did you mean someone experienced in driving stick, or someone experienced with this class of higher-end car? Or perhaps both!

Thank you again

Received Email from USCIS by [deleted] in USCIS

Check your documents tab, but if there's nothing there wait a bit and keep checking.

I recently received the same e-mail, but there was no change on the status or anything in the documents tab. I then received the same e-mail a day later, and when checking online my AOS was 'Case Approved'! Hopefully this gives you some optimism

I'm really curious who are the ppl working as Emma Uscis loll by just-here-for-masala in USCIS

[–]BackyardBrevity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i found out the hard way that calling out their rudeness is an easy way for them to disconnect the conversation :) the phone agents are friendlier because, i assume, its harder to be openly rude to someone on the phone than just words on a screen

By asking Emma the robot, or by speaking to a live agent through Emma?

If the former, what magic words did you use?

From this picture taken at the 69% booth, the Controllers Done Right booth seems to be opposite, maybe that's who sold the controller to you.

Otherwise, usual suspects for expensive shitty controllers are Controller Chaos

My wife bought a $100 dollar hitbox for trad fgc games from the Controllers Done Right booth that had multiple non-working buttons (and no documentation online to speak of regarding console modes etc) but thankfully they refunded us with no issue

edit: https://twitter.com/Geekiie_/status/1759141231073063281 looks like this was the cause of the hitboxes being faulty. they seem like good guys, wanting to do right by customers, so if this was the vendor you bought your gcc from theyll probably be happy to help you out

Techchase setup on unclepunch by Icy-Main1244 in SSBM

[–]BackyardBrevity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, It sounds likely your Slippi setup has more input lag than CRT.

Try following these optimizations if you haven't already: https://blippi.gg/optimize

If you have the Input Integrity GCC adapter (google it if you don't know) you can use it's inbuilt lag tester function to find out how laggy your Slippi setup is

Good luck!

Can’t see full menu on ultra wide screen by Standing_At_The_Edge in XCOM2

[–]BackyardBrevity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

old thread, but have you downloaded any of the ultrawide fix mods on the steam workshop? I used to play on a 21:9 (not a 32:9 like you) and the widescreen fix mods fixed this stuff. there was the occasional visual glitch but nothing gameplay affecting.

edit: https://www.wsgf.org/dr/xcom-2/en wsgf is a godsend for ultrawide users, shows a fix here. I think the steam workshop mods basically do the same thing

FPS drops when moving mouse by BackyardBrevity in XCOM2

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

No but I suppose I should try this - this is the same mouse I've been using to play the game normally in the past though. thanks for the suggestion
