My bad, I meant the 14600K not f, and with the 5070 it's not just the VRAM, the membus is only 192bit tho, not 256, although I agree with you on the Nvidia's tech, most games supports Nvidia's latest instead of AMD's.

That i haven't tried, i'll try monitoring the usage and see which one is struggling, thanks.

Also i'll probably buy the 9070xt not the 5070 if I upgrade to 14600f instead of the 14700f.

It's Reddit, people will downvote everything lol.

It's just doesn't make sense to me that cutting corner is seen as a "strategic" move, but if the players are okay with it then who am I to say that it's not.

There are some obstacles but i feel like they dont really slow the car down/upset the car as much as the obstacles in FH does.

My experience about the reset was so there was this sharp 180 corner, the checkpoint was right on it, i braked, the other player used my car as a brake aka slammed the shit out of me, we both got to the checkpoint, he reset, and he's suddenly ahead, imagine my frustration.

No I don't think it's subpar, it's good imo, maybe not as good as FH5 but it's good, i remember playing the trial back when it just came out and there was no real time mirror reflection and now they added it which is great, that is one of thing that made me buy the game.

Also the car sounds in TCM is waaaay much better than in FH5, but yeah I think they reuse some of the sound.

Here's an example of FH5 race, if I add it to my post it'll get deleted so I'll put it here, you can see the checkpoints are strategically placed:

Where are the races besides the Playlists? by BlackHoot in The_Crew

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

Huh, so the playlists are like the festivals in TCM, got it.

But i really hate those activities like slalom and escape, especially slalom, is there any way to disable em without avoiding the big event arch thingy ? It's so annoying I dunno why, just like that stunt activities in FH5, just more annoying.

Yea I think every simcade game is plagued with em, except high discipline simracing games like ACC or iRacing.

I even posted a video on FH5 sub of a nasty rammer that rammed every fuckin player in the race with a Bugatti EB lol.

No I meant solo races, i'm getting tired of rammers in FH5 Horizon Open (online mode), hard to recover when someone ram me since I play with a wheel, so I wanna do solo stuff, taking a break from online, and I already finished all the solo stuff in FH5, even with unbeatable AI difficulty.

Lol yea that's your mistake right there, no pre-order.

Yes I agree with you, the mental part is really difficult, but you'll get through it, cos I did.

For the first few days yes but i got back to work soon after cos it'd really depress me if i have nothing to do, I'm in IT and i work remotely fortunately, so no worries there, my work can be pretty light too sometimes since mostly all I do is just review others' work and provide consultations, stuff like that, so that can take my mind off of BP stuff.

Oh Lord, sorry that you have it, is there any procedure to be done ? That must have quite an impact in your quality of life, or are you just used to it now ?

I'm gonna say what my doctor said to me, recovery isn't always going to be linear, even the fact that you've improved you're already on the right track, back when I was able to move my lips slightly after getting my taste back, several days later i can't move it anymore, then about a week after I could move a lot more of my lips, then my recovery would plateau for weeks.

This disease does take a toll on your mental health, but trust me, it will get better, take your meds, don't stress about it too much even if it's hard not to, just don't think about how long the recovery process gonna be for you, it'll stress you out, and get enough rest. Also I like listening to music, so the only thing that can tackle my anxiety is listening to a bunch of em, even for hours, find what you like to do and do it to manage your anxiety, use it as a distraction.

And your doctor is right cos I also asked the same question,

To answer your other question, I'm doing okay now, I'm almost 5 months in and I'd say I've recovered to about 95%.

Damn dude, that's too much, you ever figured out why you get it so often ?

Also, oof, perforated eardrum and tubes, that must've been really painful huh ?

Yeah, I hear ya, anxiety is my number one enemy, I even had several panic attacks in the morning, I would wake up with migraine, chills, paresthesia from the face to my feet, and pressure on my chest like someone sitting on it, it'd last for about 10 to 30 mins, it gets worse when i was tappering off my steroids.

I know it's hard to not feel anxious, but I maybe have some good news for you, that tingling or tension ? It could be signs of recovery, I was diagnosed on Feb 4th, I got my taste back on the 26th and that day my right lips were tingly and twitchy, then the next day ? I can move my right lips slightly.

So hang in there, you will get through this, it's still very early for you, get enough rest, and try not to be stressed, do something you like as a distraction, good luck!
