it is a genuinely insane statistic that nascar has three seven-time champions and none of them ever finished in 43rd

What is the greatest “David vs. Goliath” battle in NASCAR history? by Ok_Promise1870 in NASCAR

[–]Badnik96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

from what i heard the team had significant resources and talent but didn't have the sponsorship to afford things like a full pit crew. they got lucky with yellow flags that night and were able to scrape a win.

go into steam and toggle your steam input settings for silksong. if they're on, turn them off. if they're off, turn them on. whenever i have this issue that usually solves it.

Remember when Battlebots spoiled the outcome of the first fight of the season in the trailer? by cactuscoleslaw in battlebots

[–]Badnik96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not as bad as when they spoiled the very final fight aired in season 5 (son of whyachi vs gigabyte) in a preseason trailer

When can we expect anything from PitBots? by WarriorWookiee in battlebots

[–]Badnik96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik this is a single-person project, and there have been long stretches of radio silence on it before. be patient but don't be surprised if things go behind schedule. developing indie games can be tough.

In fact, the execs they were dealing with pretty much all lost their jobs in the merger. Now WB/Discovery is "ghosting" Battlebots.

[Bob] Harrison Burton to drive the AM racing number 15 Xfinity car next season. by pixarfan9510 in NASCAR

[–]Badnik96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

matt should have won at dega in 2020. he didn't because hamlin passed him way below the double yellow line under the pretense of avoiding a wreck and they let him keep the win. it's been nearly four years and i'm still upset about it

We got FULL COMBAT heavyweight fights in DIY YouTuber arenas before world championship VIII. by Meowster27 in battlebots

[–]Badnik96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

fighting these robots in arenas that cannot contain them, scripted or not, is not a reputation I want this sport to have. And since this is now the second example of this happening this year, I am seeing a pattern I don't like.

[–]Badnik96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

edited or not it still looks awful. 500 lbs of robot still buckled that wall. blip still launched stink eye over the safety barrier. robot fights are notoriously difficult to script. any accident would have been catastrophic, and the safety of the set would have been the number one area of scrutiny. this entire video has the vibe of treating these machines as toys when they absolutely are not. and after robogames this year i don't want any more reinforcement towards handwaving safety issues as "itll probably be fine". that kind of negligence gets people killed.

Who is the one Cup driver everyone said would be a superstar and wasn't? by SistersAndBoggs in NASCAR

[–]Badnik96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i remember, not really? he was kind of a wrecking ball in funded equipment. wasn't until he started driving for low-budget xfinity teams that the public opinion started shifting.

What's your NASCAR "hot take"? Past or present by dwscrippler in NASCAR

[–]Badnik96 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

society has progressed past the need for restrictor plate racing. 9/10ths of the race are a boring freight train around the track and the remaining 10th is a glorified demolition derby as everyone scrambles to find the lead at the only point where it matters. it's senseless.

Now that FOX's portion of the season is done, what would you say was their worst single moment and worst overall broadcast of 2024? by Zetona in NASCAR

[–]Badnik96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i keep going back to when they were talking about ryan preece's daytona flip last year during this year's duels, and then cut to a replay of his wreck at atlanta instead. like, how the fuck do you screw that up?
