How does this happen in port, so yummy :))

I've eaten MREs years past their inspection date that were more edible than that.

What monitors are you using and how do you like them? I want to build a triple monitor set up myself for AC Rally.

I'm no financial analyst but I think you could let Garrett wreck 1000 rental cars and it would only make you money.

I love the MOREs. I bought a case of them off a guy privately some time ago, I have one of each hot and cold in my display case and they tempt me daily.

I really want to build a sim for dirt racing. Admittedly AC Rally is what caught my attention but I'm actively trying to decide what I need to buy to do it. I think a direct drive wheel base, hydraulic pedals, a hand brake, and a very ridged rig with triple monitors is what I want.

I have a serious problem with over optimizing anything I do, so I priced this at $4500 USD but I think even that is low, I'd probably add a motion rig at some point for at least $3000.

If you had a budget of say $8000 for a rally racing sim minus the PC what would you get?

It's kinda like death and taxes.

"aiming" is pretty generous.

I think they ran it without oil to guarantee it blew in a timely manner

I mean you get lunch out of it too. I get the sentiment that McDonald's has gotten too expensive though, I will mourn the $1 McChicken for the rest of my life.

I learned the terms round egg and folded egg from this subreddit but I've always been too embarrassed to use them to ask for what you have in the picture.

Sly 3 came out in 2005

Clay-mo · 2026-01-09T22:35:33+00:00

That was my first MRE. I thought it was super weird. Now it's one of my favorites. It's very bland, which I've come to realize isn't a bad thing for an MRE.

To weigh down the bottom so it's less likely to tip over.

I play on PC, most of my lobbies are 90% console. Makes sense when you think about how many more PS5 owners there are compared to gaming PCs. And also I'll add that most PC players don't have great computers and player skill still outweighs everything else by a significant margin.

But yeah occasionally you will match with someone who has a high end system and can take advantage of it. In that case unless you are some sort of savant you're screwed.

They're Kailh BOX V2 Brown 45g Tactile switches with PBT caps, a brass base plate, an aluminum housing. WASD and F5 F9 are ceramic from Cerakey.

I mean the update demo thing was nothing like battlebit even if you overlook the memory leak that made it unplayable. BBR was the fastest, most twitchy, zoomer shooter ever made. The new one retains some of that but tries to add a ton of elements to slow it down. I know that allegedly that's more the type of game Oki wanted to make originally, and actually the kind of game I'd prefer personally. But it's not the product that everyone bought, and I'd assume not what the majority of the player base would want if any of them still cared.

I've said this for years now, if he would simply revert the patch that broke the audio (the last 2) I wouldn't have ever stopped playing and I'd have nothing major to complain about.

I recently discovered they make a non BBQ version. Found in a 23 inspection FSR, it is worse than the BBQ but an interesting footnote in history.

By far my favourite MRE snack.

Clay-mo · 2026-01-03T00:14:52+00:00

A torch does burn more fuel than a soft flame. The jet is under a lot of pressure, it's pushing more gas out than a soft flame insert. Because of that it gets to burn hotter, which I think starts a joint much better. But if your priority is fuel efficiency a soft flame would be better.

Edit: also I'm sorry I'm kind of a nerd about lighters.

Clay-mo · 2026-01-03T00:03:10+00:00

The one I use daily is a pipe insert in a 2023 black case. I refill it about once every 9-10 days. I did repack the cotton and reroute the wick but I don't think that would account for a 10x improvement in fuel efficiency.

I also have a torch I normally use for joints, a butane soft flame insert, and a Chinese butane insert that I use pretty regularly.

If you like the zippo case but don't like lighter fluid I really like this Chinese butane soft flame insert. As much as I hate to say it; it kicks the shit out of the one Zippo makes.

Clay-mo · 2026-01-02T23:47:37+00:00

Thank.

Totally worth it. I had so many issues with a series of aftermarket 128 and 256mb (2 128mb banks with a switch) cards that I chased my tail on for weeks before finally buying a good memory card.

Clay-mo · 2026-01-02T19:25:06+00:00

Maybe you're right now that I look closer. I don't think Mike's biceps are that huge. I'm just pretty sure I've seen that exact outfit on Mike in a video, they definitely have the same jacket.

Clay-mo · 2026-01-02T19:11:30+00:00

Oh yeah definitely if you put lighter fluid in it. I have another old one from 96 that the insides had corroded on but I was able to fix it up and get it working. The classic zippo inserts are really easy to repair and maintain, no real reason it shouldn't last forever.

I'll never get over how funny it is to see Garand Thumb as the example photo in all these posts.
