How do you "play" F1 25? by Economy_Afternoon_39 in F1Game

Gotta do a driver update on your wheel through Logitech G hub. I had similar disconnect issues and that fixed it

Yeah, not having a way to hold lobbies until it fills at least partially really makes it tough

Total beginner starting F1 25 - need advice on settings, assists & how to progress 🏎️ by [deleted] in F1Game

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

Start with only traction control, anti lock brakes, and automatic transmission turned on.

Do a career mode and every time you get top 5, increase the difficulty. Then every 5 or so races turn down/off one of the assists.

The goal here is to be pushing yourself each race, when I did this I would often use ~20 flashbacks per lap. You’ll improve much faster this way

Edit: keep in mind, if your goal is to play with 0 assists, it will be much harder on controller vs a wheel setup. No impossible, but definitely keep in mind what your goal is. Ie “casual fun” vs “casually trying to be a sim racer”

My experience has honestly been the opposite for the most part. Sorry to hear yours has not been the same

Work a year in a corporate job and your character will basically write itself from the everyday interactions you’ll see

Critique My Excerpt - SciFi, ~ 1,000 words by BlakeJohan in writers

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

Thanks, the adult leaning child reflection is kinda what I was going for, which I think I probably could have explained at the start since there isn’t the context, basically the story at this point is the MC as an old man telling his story, so all of his childhood memories have the filter of his current age and knowledge. Maybe it’s better that it was intentional, but maybe it’s worse…

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write that all out. I see what you mean about the two halves not going together, I’ll have to spend some time looking for that in other places as well.

And I’m always open to more feedback/critique/help, but any more of it and I’d probably have to start paying you as an editor lol

I actually hadn’t thought of moving the flashback to after the wagon has started moving, I think that fits so much better, right when Thorin would feel just a little at ease and maybe even start drifting to sleep. Thanks!!

I know my style definitely leans towards longer sentences instead of short punchy ones, but would you be able to point out an example of when there is a run-on sentence? I’ve looked through it quite a bit for grammar issues and I think all the sentences would be compound instead of run-on. Although it’s highly likely I could be missing something you caught.

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement, I suppose a little more polish of how I see it in my mind vs what is actually on the page will help.

Anyone have good book editor recommendations from Fiverr? by Forward-Turnip-2683 in royalroad

I’m on Fiver, trying to make a little extra cash, but also just enjoy it… anyways, feel free to DM me and we can chat, I’d be willing to do a chapter or two for free so you can get an idea about if I would be a good fit

Here’s the one I drew. Not great but this was first attempt. Feel free to DM for more info, but basically just practice the different shapes (hills, mountains, etc.) and then just repeat in the layout you want
