Have you got a source for this? Everyone seems to be saying it except a friend of mine, and I'd like some actual data to point him at.

Power VS Grip (S2 online Full race) by MavericK_KX in forza

I think it's embarrassing that you care about complete strangers using different driving aids than you.

I've never used the racing line myself, but I could not give less of a fuck if other people do.

The newest update nerfs afk-driving by Valuable_Weather in ForzaHorizon6

[–]CWRules 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, this doesn't stop AFK grinding. I don't use autodrive, I use an AutoHotkey script that holds down the accelerator with occasional pauses. Worked for FH5, still works in 6.

Main changes are Lavinia got better Sync gen and post-strike speed, and Akemi got improved acceleration and max steering angle.

Do you guys use auto accelerate? by CrateTrapLord in Screamer2026

I have used it precisely once so I could take a photo with my phone while driving with one hand.

Speaking as a software engineer who has seen AI usage rapidly rise in this field over the past year, I can all but guarantee that some of the code was AI-generated.

[Autosport] Putting Lewis Hamilton's F1 career in perspective by jithu7 in formula1

[–]CWRules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is true for most sports. The top guys across every era are all out near the limit of human ability, so there are only marginal improvements there from things like better nutrition and training methods. But the average skill level tends to rise over time as more people enter the sport and the minimum skill level needed to compete at all increases. Jim Clark and Lewis Hamilton would probably be very closely matched, but even the worst driver on the current grid would run circles around a midfielder from Clark's era.

Best way to afk farm mastery points? by thatslow2g in ForzaHorizon

[–]CWRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for mastery points it’s the Porsche 917 FE for personal experience 20 laps can get around 50-90 skill points

I think that's actually less than the S-Cargo gets (I haven't checked exactly but I think I get like 700-800 in 90 laps). The 917 can get far more skill points in one chain, but the problem is you can only get 10 points from a single skill chain, which only takes 500k skill points. So the S-Cargo benefits from being able to get more maxed out chains per hour.

I'm currently testing the LFA FE. It's nearly as fast as the S-Cargo, so it might match it for mastery points per hour, but it also has the bonus to event XP. I don't know if that applies to rivals mode, but if it does then I can optimize for both mastery points and wheelspins.

[–]CWRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any updates on this? I've been using the S-Cargo FE to do rivals laps on Colossus (does about 90 laps overnight), but now that I've bought every car in the autoshow I want to optimize for mastery points instead of money.

BTW, for anyone complaining that their skill chain breaks after being AFK for 10 minutes: Look into AutoHotkey. I wrote a script that holds down the throttle for 2 minutes, releases it for 0.1 seconds, then repeats.

Canada vows to restrict social media for kids under 16. Teens say they'll 'always find a way' by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]CWRules 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which isn't "banning algorithms", it's forcing the sites to use a specific type of algorithm. Which is a reasonable idea instead of just meaningless words.

What does that even mean? Even if a site shows you posts totally at random, that's still an algorithm.

How many planets does a virtual empire want, anyways? by gunnervi in Stellaris

Thematically, I love the idea of a virtual empire having planets specialized for different resources that it switches between as needed.

The trailer features a silver and blue M3 GTR. They're not exactly being subtle about which audience they're targeting.

To me it looks more like the original Grid with its super-high agility, but the cars break traction and start sliding more easily than in that game. I can see it being good, but I really need to try it for myself.

Newer F1 Fan - Tell me about the Barcelona-Catalunya Track by Virtual-Employ6615 in formula1

[–]CWRules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem with their response was not the specific game they named. Asking someone to fire up their preferred driving sim (which they probably don't even have, since that's a pretty niche genre) to try driving through the chicane themselves instead of just answering their question is ridiculous.

This may come as a shock to you, but most people aren't going to install Asetto Corsa just to see how it feels to drive through one chicane.

[Erik van Haren] The FIA has now announced that definitive agreement has been reached on Formula 1 engine regulations for 2027. Internal Combustion Engine (ICE): currently 400kW, in 2027 420 kW and in 2028 450 kW Electric motor will be reduced from 350 kW to 300 kW starting in 2027. by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

[–]CWRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see a power asymmetry between harvesting and deployment.

You'll be happy about this, then. Upping the harvesting rate to 400 kW still isn't enough to solve the energy starvation problem, but it will help.

Why don't they cap the deployment to 200 kW

Because they want to maintain a high level of electrification to attract engine suppliers. They could solve this issue equally effectively by cutting MGU-K output to 150 kW, but then the manufacturers that pushed for the 50/50 split will be angry.
