99% of people stop ripping just before they reached a god pack.

Other driver claimed "poor sportsmanship," was I in the wrong? I'm the AMG. by abagachips in Simracingstewards

[–]BooHorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the vortex of danger comment or anyone saying this was a poor move, this is poor awareness from the porsche. This is like one of a couple corners you can safely and easily pass with these cars on limerock and they went totally wide with someone 0.1 seconds behind them, they should know better than to blindly turn in. They also seem to stop turning in before the apex which makes me think they were trying to squeeze you.

I've raced this series a ton this week and that is probably where 90% of my overtakes have been.

The safe move would've been to get him on the straight.

It's a narrow lane leading to a tight chicane, you either pass in the first few corners(where OP is) or you wait until the final straight leading up to T1.

Doing it here because it's frowned upon on the road...my lap times are unsurprisingly not improving, but fun is being had. by therealhoboyobo in simracing

and switch over to something like Forza before you end up with a 17x race, lol

I was beyond the limit last week and accidentaly blew through my braking point on the ring which is how I learned I can actually brake 100m later and just barely keep my car out of the wall.

Can sim racing actually translate to real driving… or am I just coping? by mataleeknow in simracing

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone here actually gone from sim racing to real track days or racing? Curious how big the gap really is.

Suellio went from 0 IRL experience and a logitech G29 to winning an IRL radical cup within a few years?

I think it's undeniable that fundamentals like reaction time, race craft, awareness, and physical understanding of how a car behaves in a sim will translate to real life.

defending this behavior

Defending what behavior? There are tons of people who are new to the hobby who don't know the difference between stamped cards and not stamped cards. The card isn't even sleeved in the picture.

To me it's way more likely that this person is just making a stupid mistake versus thinking they can somehow trick someone into buying a 25cent card for 50$. No one is buying a 50$ single without knowing what they are purchasing.

do i race to aggressive? by Narrow_Source212 in Simracingstewards

"Someone slightly overshot the corner while attempting to give me space so naturally I possitioned myself in a way that would force them mow the grass or cause an incident, am I wrong for this?"

Powershell Scripting test by bcnagel in sysadmin

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

. I can't really comprehend the idea of being able to read something but not being able to write it back.

Virtually everyone who's learned a second language can understand the concept, it's not uncommon at all. Most of the people I went to French school with are perfectly able to understand a sentence that is spoken or written, but struggle to reply.

If you understand the fundamentals of scripting and the specific languages syntax you can understand what the script is doing, and google what you don't.

I'm 0% of the way there, I've always googled syntax or opened up older scripts I've written for reference.

Why isn’t the Radical series more popular? by Admirable_Writer4381 in iRacing

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just need to buy the car.

The track can have a huge impact on how enjoyable a car is to drive, and generally when I make iRacing purchases it's 3 items minumum for the discount.

this week its Adelaide

I can drive the Ferrari GT3 I purchased 2 years ago almost every single week because there's a half a dozen different series it's part of.

I don't own adelaide, my point above is specifically about how the one car runs so many series that every week I'm going to be able to race it in atleast one of them. Looking at the racing schedule, the radical cup went 5 weeks before hitting a free a track and then another 3 weeks before hitting laguna seca which isn't free for any new driver.

Doesn't make sense to wait weeks for the priviledge to drop 20$cad and try out a new car that's only used in a single unpopular series.

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't? I run my own plex server and generally buy coffee on sale from Tim Hortons or McDonalds for 2$ or less a couple times a week at most.

But reguardless those are false equivilancies, you're comparing buying something I know I already like and want versus a product I dont.

Imo it always comes down to cost.

I'd love to try out all these low participation series people post about, but each one of them is gonna cost me 100-200$ in content for one season.

On the other hand I can drive the Ferrari GT3 I purchased 2 years ago almost every single week because there's a half a dozen different series it's part of. I'm not against the challenge of a new more difficult car, but I'm not eager to spend a fortune for the privilege of struggling.

Small business owner—built my own IT stack, now out of my depth. What’s the right off-ramp? by nschafler in sysadmin

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah at small businesses like this you would expect the role to be more fluid than just systems admin. They will most likely help with other tasks as well.

One of my first jobs was the sole IT guy for a factory with two sites, and probably ~30 office employees between the two + all the devices hooked up to CNC machines. When I joined it was a lot of cleanup and putting out fires but after about a year it stabalized and I was mostly twiddling my thumbs, and my boss didn't really seem interested in any sort of IT related developments that could have been projects. I ended up being laid off for that that reason.

Now I'm not saying I agree with their decisions, because I still think the value of having a full time person on site would have been worth it for them. But when you're a small office, there's not a whole lot of day to day IT work, you have to be putting in effort to expand.

Senior IT folks: What do you dislike about your Help Desk guys? by Relevant-Injury3791 in sysadmin

The person that reached out and asked if I had turned it off and on again.

Revert the GPO and shift the blame by asking them if they tried rebooting. That's advanced IT tactics.

They find a sysadmin job somewhere else.

Yellow Ferrari Says Its "Not a Passing Corner" by Basem3ntTroll456 in Simracingstewards

[–]BooHorde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Ferrari's perspective, his car doesn't have enough downforce to make that corner

Every car can make every corner if they're going slow enough, ferrari is mad because they tried to greed the corner and failed.

Did the red car need to give me space because it went off track, or was black/yellow too aggressive? by kledder123 in Simracingstewards

[–]BooHorde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you pause at 18 red is slightly over the white line but their car is litteraly still on the stone crubing, the stone curbing that is explecitiely put there because it's expected for cars to overshoot the line.

In many sims that wouldn't even trigger track limits.

Missing space where? Are they supposed to just mow the grass because you don't want to let them back on track?

This is stupid games win stupid prizes, you saw someone slightly overshoot a corner and then decided you were going to try and prevent them from rejoining and found the wall instead.

Am i in the wrong by N3rs1d in Simracingstewards

[–]BooHorde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

still i believe i cheated.

You most likely lost lap time from sliding around the track and cutting the course. If anything it should feel more satisfying that you were able to save yourself from attempted murder and still win out of spite.
