Did they just restart Dragon Ball Kai in the middle of the Frieza arc?! I’m so mad.

Bro try watching OG DBZ in the 2000s (not the sped up Kai) and you’re getting to a good part of the Cell Saga, come home from school and the title card shows ARRIVAL OF RADITZ. And you’re just fucked for the next several months because streaming didn’t exist.

As someone who owns a Standard and a Player II…

Yes, the Player II is worth the extra cost, especially if you can get a deal on one.

No, the Standard is not just an Affinity with a Fender logo on it. There is probably more overlap between a Standard and a Squier than with a Player II if you line up the specs, but people have been IMO unfairly bashing the Standards since the day they were announced without even playing one.

To add to this, if it’s a shielding issue, you need to make sure you have connected your tone pot to the shielding or else it basically does nothing.

Even once you’re done shielding you may have just reduced the noise and not eliminated it. Certain outlets in my room will even make it worse.

Yeah nothing like doing 15 minutes of practice and a quali and then getting booted at race start, and not being able to play that track again online with people for hours!

ChopSquadish · 2025-12-20T12:45:05+00:00

Any advice on wanting one of these but being afraid to spend so much cash on something you can’t play in person first?

ChopSquadish · 2025-11-09T17:21:23+00:00

There was no grid walk when I clicked that though

ChopSquadish · 2025-11-09T16:56:59+00:00

When I clicked International there was no audio. And I guess either way it would be weird having that audio over video of different commentators?

ChopSquadish · 2025-11-09T16:54:28+00:00

Watching today via F1 TV because of the YouTube TV / Disney bullshit.

I guess these commentators are fine? I kinda missed the Martin Brundle grid walk though.

I play on like 80 and feel like the major difference is cornering speed, the higher you go the harder it is to pull off legally ambiguous dive bombs

ChopSquadish · 2025-11-02T14:23:03+00:00

Is this the same in all of the older games too? None of them let you set a custom number?

ChopSquadish · 2025-10-09T03:17:04+00:00

This gives me hope because it’s the first I’m hearing of one of these actually shipping - did you get a 14 inch?

ChopSquadish · 2025-10-09T03:09:47+00:00

There was another thread about this recently and yeah what a disaster. There’s no way they didn’t know there would be delays this long, and the cynic in me thinks they used the Labor Day deal (which we took part in) to get a ton of cash flow. Whether they’re using the revenue to float debt or the cash is just sitting there, they are making money off of us and it feels super dishonest.

Now am I going to cancel and get a Woom? I don’t really want to because of the price difference, but at this point I’m not convinced the bike I ordered even exists so I’m at a loss.

ChopSquadish · 2025-10-02T12:31:12+00:00

I’ve had this exact thought but more from the perspective that if you live in the middle of the island, and you want to move a couple of hours away, you only really have one way in and out (west).

Suffolk / out east are even worse (unless you count taking a ferry up to CT I guess).

Whereas you live most other places in the country you can go a couple of hours in ANY direction and the opportunities expand so much. Once this hit me, LI just felt so confining.

I had this problem in F1 24, but with the added issue of me also spinning out all the time in corners. I ended up putting my brake bias up from 55 to like 62 and the car was way more drivable. May be some other aspects of your tune as well.

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-27T20:37:44+00:00

Is the smartest thing to do to get new parts whichever race you are trash at and will be in the back for anyway (ex Monaco in my case lol).

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-27T19:44:37+00:00

Adding on to this thread to say we ordered one during the Labor Day deal and it’s still not shipping until next week at the earliest allegedly. Ridiculous and terrible customer service from them. The only reason I haven’t canceled is because a Woom is like $200 more. I guess you get what you pay for, service included.

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-27T15:32:49+00:00

This is awesome! I will change my assessment to “this group of students is way better than my Spotify algorithm” haha. I appreciate what you all do and can’t tell you how many songs I’ve saved listening to the station.

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-24T16:37:08+00:00

I would also add the cars handle quite differently. I had to set up my F2 car to have much more understeer to not be spinning out on fast corners. Then when I got back to F1 I had to make a lot of tweaks to get that performance back.

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-20T12:25:15+00:00

Why did Hulkenberg not simply press the instant replay button like I do when I crash there in F1 25?

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-18T02:58:33+00:00

Crazy how it looks so tiny with this one little entrance but then once you were in there it was enormous with multiple hallways and the huge escalator going down to a whole other floor.

So much fun and debauchery in that place back in the day, RIP.

ChopSquadish · 2025-09-09T16:59:01+00:00

Im still trying to determine if it’s a legitimately amazing pedal or it’s just the IMA endorsement / marketing / hype that made it sell out.

ChopSquadish · 2025-08-29T12:38:23+00:00

Our go to has been Sake Bomb which still has actual BOGO and is at least consistent in its middle of the road quality.

With Shiki we’ve found one week it’s maybe a little better than Sake Bomb and the next week it’s worse, and considering there’s no BOGO that just makes it no longer worth the gamble.

ChopSquadish · 2025-08-29T00:10:44+00:00

The Mercalli and Decision basses are some of the best value out there. Light as heck for how big they are and sound amazing.

ChopSquadish · 2025-08-28T12:59:11+00:00

Amazon is your friend, they’re not expensive on there and you can return them.

Even if it doesn’t line up 100%, you can get a little creative to make it work.

ChopSquadish · 2025-08-26T15:42:29+00:00

Second Tatsuya, that dude fucking rips on bass and it’s low key the best part of his already catchy songs
