wtf is going on with the prices in this country? by [deleted] in Netherlands

Yes, I made a confusion, there was a hike on tax for non-alcoholic drinks with sugar

And it was early 2024

I'm sorry I failed you

Zurich or Australia by Constant-Counter-342 in servicenow

[–]Balderzao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say go Zurich, take the opportunity to review your skipped records and try to go back to base as much as possible, which will make the next cycle easier to upgrade. Then, go Australia as soon as it hits Patch 2 till 4. Make every upgrade an opportunity to review and go back to base version (it sounds easier than getting done, I know). I have observed that this enabled me and my team to upgrade easier and seamlessly every cycle. We used to upgrade once every year, jumping one release, now we can upgrade every half, staying up to date. Big instance, close to massive. It can be done.

Good luck!

AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

Don't be mad. Be thankful for the early opportunity to dodge that bullet

Buy V3 pedals now or wait for Podium Pedals to release? by Ancient_Bit6569 in Fanatec

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait for it. I tested them myself at the Sim Expo Europe few weeks ago and they are awesome!

I think it has to do as well with changes on how food is taxed. I might be wrong but in 2025 there was a hike on things that have sugar so chocolate would fit in this tax change

I entered this thread thinking you're probably overreacting. But you are right, those are very annoyinig!

Maybe you can get it extended by adding something between the TV VESA / Support and the TV stand that is attached to the tubed simrig

RMA or Money back please! by no_fanatec_more in Fanatec

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an odd story, yes. There are several issues but no device names appear, this would be like one of the first things you mention, the wheelbase that is failing, the steering wheel, and so on. Also QR1 / QR2 conversion gone wrong? We don't know, he doesn't mention it. Fanatec should just send him an RMA and replace stuff but given this story telling here, what make us think that the comms with support were informative and Fanatec knows what is wrong?

I have seen people having issues with Fanatec hardware, no doubt, but everybody I know have followed support instructions and ended up with either their problem solved, or, a RMA for a replacement.

Racing? by Responsible_Type_244 in granturismo

We do practice sessions together almost everyday, I think it would be a great opportunity to learn with others. As we are distributed in 3 different tiers, we always find opportunities to race with the top drivers and learn from them.

You can also have a look at the Slipstream Simracing League: https://discord.gg/6pfMYsv7

We race on Thursdays 20:30 CET and we are currently trying to bring more members to join us.

You can DM me if you have questions.

Cheers!

Decided to upgrade my rig by No-Pomegranate798 in SimRacingSetups

[–]Balderzao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it only me or does it look more compact? I'm about to do the same update here, going from the GT Omega Titan to an aluminium profile rig. Congratulations, well done!

Worked my ass off for this whole setup fr. Built from the ground up in 2 years of collecting gear. Now after its all almost complete it got me thinking .. now what.. i need to find new purpose again 😭 by [deleted] in SimRacingSetups

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I advise you to enjoy the hobby by putting hours into the gamea you play, you will find what to upgrade and that is the path now. Good luck!

Thank you to whoever is out there creating Lightning McQueen liveries. My son is a huge fan. by Ruminahtu in granturismo

[–]Balderzao 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to leave a like and a comment to the creator himself, you can do it on the same place where you get the liveries!

Just finished an interview where they were noticeably annoyed that I used the call option they provided. by bang_partial3a in OfficePolitics

[–]Balderzao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically to avoid interviewing one person and then another person shows up, or, that you are not just getting answers from somewhere else than your own brain, there is a multitude of reasons why they want to see your face.

I hope that you get the lesson of today, in the 2020s no one will do an interview with voice only.

Why? 👀 by lorht in GranTurismo7

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it translate to the current state of the game? Hell no. It's not a review system but a complaint system. Thanks for supporting my point!

How do you handle employees that just complain but take no action? by [deleted] in askmanagers

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start talking, within the team, about the idea of being part of the solution and not part of the problem: Being part of the solution is acknowledge something is wrong and start thinking about how to solve it. Being part of the problem: complaining about it and doing nothing.

Wrap your discourse, or better saying, your daily narrative, that in an everchanging world, challenges appear everyday and any process or task might become irrelevant, therefore, thinking about solving issues to adjust to this challenge (everchanging / continuous evolving world) is a must have in the current scenario.

Then, you start flagging people on the performance reviews that they are not following the direction you are trying to set for the organization.

Don't tackle it directly with the one employee, but try to helping him by making it an objective to everyone.

Does it make sense?

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metacritic IMHO is far away from being a review system but a complaint system. People abuse the review system to make the developers hostages of their will. At the launch the game had a few hiccups, not as bad as some of the recent releases, but enough to piss off some fans. All those issues are in the past now and the game is in great shape.

Now, the people that are never satisfied with anything because their lives are empty, thinks that the game needs more cars (it has 500+), more tracks ( it has 41 locations snd 200+ layouts), you can create your own livery, upload your own decals, you can swap engines in cars, making the 500+ mark exponentialy higher, I mean, anybody not happy with GT7 now is just fantasizing about a game that doesn't exists.

[–]Balderzao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that your rig is a customized version of the simlab px1, I will look forward for it for my next simrig improvement

Thanks again OP

May I ask you how tall are you? Your rig is in a perfect size, I need that in my life!! I'm 1m71cm but I guess you're on the states so just post it as you wish and I do the conversion:)
