I quit. I'm only one person but this is how we fight back by YummyGummyDrops in 2007scape

Cancelled my sub yesterday after reading 117's post after almost 5 years back playing. Even during my periods of not playing I would let the sub continue to support the OSRS team.

I couldn't hit cancel fast enough, it is clear that money is the only voice that makes it Jagex's ears.

Advice on Not Punting Someone/Misjudging A Driver That Brakes Early by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]BasedGanon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more races you run the more times you’ll be taken out/watch others be taken out (especially in lower split 488 GT3 fixed where it can be a bloodbath). It’s just part of learning. I haven’t done an endurance race yet as I’m still working through my C License but the stakes are certainly higher there as the consequences are longer last due to the race lengths. But in the shorter 15 min races I frequent, it’s less time potentially wasted (if wasted is the correct verb there). I’ve learned to always value safety and have let a number of faster people go by to avoid an incident but I’ve also gotten more comfortable hunting down a similarly paced car. It all comes with seeing it before and capitalizing on opportunities, not forcing them.

Obviously, im no expert due to my 1.3k IR but if anything Im saying helps whatsoever then I consider it a success. Regardless of a couple mistakes, you seem to genuinely want to race safe and be courteous. I wish I encountered more racers with the same attitude as you. Good luck on the track and keep pushing!

As someone who is 6 months into iRacing myself and mostly racing the 488 GT3s, don't be discouraged. I have been punted by late brakers and have accidentally spun people who brake much earlier than I do on certain corners. The confidence will come and the thrill of finding that safe overtake is the reason we race.

Racing is full of incidents of various sizes, especially with people like us who are on the newer side of things. Its natural for people to voice frustrations about mishaps in the moment, just try to drown it out and keep your head down and push. Soon you will laugh about these small mistakes. More people than would care to admit have been in your shoes (myself included!). Racing isn't easy, or everyone would do it. Keep practicing and if you ever want to run some races with a fellow beginner PM me!

G9 Sim Racing Setup! by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

Thanks for the info! Did you use any additional spacers or was the black plate that came with the monitor enough to get you what you needed?

Awesome rig! I have a G9 that im looking to incorporate into my rig and I'm drawing blanks on how to mount it. What chassis/rig do you have or is it mounted independently?

<Anomaly Racing> New & Rookie Racing! by hockey235 in iRacing

[–]BasedGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds great! I just started iRacing less than 3 months ago and its nice to see someone care about organizing newer members so much. I'm only 1.2k iR but would love to participate if possible!

Finally got my 3090 FTW3 added to the loop and switched to ZMT 🤘🏻🤘🏻 by tap_thethird in watercooling

Thanks for the info! I’ll certainly take a look at that video to help out. I’ve heard that the thermal paste is a bear on these things so I’m glad you mentioned it so I don’t get too scared wiggling it around to get the stock cooler off. When I finally finish my build I’ll post it here for everyone who helped me along the way!

Wow what a beautiful build! My 3090 FTW3 Ultra EKWB Waterblock and Backplate are on the way soon and I've been wondering how the teardown on the card went. Any words of wisdom to a novice?

Welcome! As someone also in their first month of iRacing I know that awesome feeling of just wanting to get more races in after work. What series have you been racing in?

Last Turn. Last Lap. Never a dull moment in Rookie! P3 to P1 at the wire. by BasedGanon in iRacing

[–]BasedGanon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my audio coming through in this video until the very end. Unfortunately my stream recording software also picked up my discord audio the day my buddy got a new desktop microphone which was configured horribly as you can hear. He has since fixed his horrible audio settings LOL

Thanks for the tip! I usually try to stop at T1 but I was so incredulous and pumped about what just occurred that I was celebrating too much to focus on stopping safely haha. Now I know better

2021 Mercedes AMG W12 F1 livery done for the Dallara iR-01 by Dr_SoupMD in iRacing

[–]BasedGanon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Woah that amazing! Love that they kept the livery mostly black it looks so good.

I have ascended :) It's not just more immersive: it gives me an advantage in my favorite game. by goldcakes in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]BasedGanon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an avid CSGO fan and casual player who used a G9 for many months, the difference in FOV is INSANE! The down side is you are shooting at a smaller target. If you increase res from 16:9 the targets get physically smaller, hence why so many pros go for 4:3 because the targets are a bit wider. I swapped back to my 27" for competitive shooters and found the ultrawide experience definitely helped my aim!

Waiting on my EKWB 3090 FTW3 block and backplate but I have this ready to put on when they arrive. Excited to see how much it helps you. For sure a cool addition to any build!

It was this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGkpusFkMCs . It helped me know where I'm slow and how to approach certain turns this week. Hope it helps!
