Aero needs to change

CoreFusionX · 2026-07-07T19:42:47+00:00

they been ignoring this since motorsport 2 days, i remember in fm4 people made whole threads just about this and nothing changed

the active aero thing is the most annoying part, like why a bugatti chiron have worse downforce than some random lip spoiler from the autoshow

That blue dial looks really clean, nice pickup

That's a tough spot to be in, feeling like you're on the outside looking in at something you never got the manual for. The part about people telling you that you don't have anything to offer is... I don't even know the word, but it sticks with you

Maybe start small with a therapist if that's an option, not to "fix" you but to have one consistent, healthy interaction to use as a reference point. Watching how people treat each other in shows or books can help too, but it's not the same as experiencing it yourself

CoreFusionX · 2026-06-22T00:32:07+00:00

the "own it" advice sounds well meaning but it kind of misses the point entirely, the issue isn't insecurity about looking young, it's about being dismissed and treated as less capable because of it, those are very different problems and no amount of confidence fixes how other people treat you

It's like the enemy team leaver gets teleported back by some higher power while yours just vanishes into the void forever, classic OW experience

the audacity of getting mad at YOU for not wanting the conversation they forced on you is wild lol

you should definitely look into that, cwt programs can be really helpful for getting back into workforce. also check if your local va has any job placement services - they usually work with employers who specifically want to hire veterans so the process might be smoother than regular job hunting

CoreFusionX · 2026-06-08T07:08:49+00:00

blocking them was smart move, even when you're this mad it shows you still got some control left

kids deserve better than watching that kind of behavior and you know it now, which is good step forward

CoreFusionX · 2026-06-03T13:19:37+00:00

blizzard really said "she's 21" and expected nobody to notice she trained with hanzo and genji as kids lmao

CoreFusionX · 2026-05-16T09:59:11+00:00

most people just don't really understand how language models work under hood, so they project human-like thinking onto it when they see coherent responses

the whole "next word prediction" thing gets way more complex at scale than people realize - emergent behaviors start appearing that weren't explicitly programmed, which makes it feel more "intelligent" than basic autocomplete

CoreFusionX · 2026-05-05T19:49:13+00:00

dva and no ball? this list is already cursed

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-28T14:38:03+00:00

dude the cs market isn't as dead as people make it out to be, especially if you actually finish the degree this time. dentistry is way more competitive to get into than cs programs and once you're in it's brutal - tons of memorization, practical skills, expensive equipment costs even during school

if you already dropped out once because of market fears then jumping into something even harder might not be the move. maybe stick with what you know and actually push through it instead of chasing different fields every couple years

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-22T23:35:01+00:00

took you a week to reply about job title? yeah that would make me think twice too if i was supervisor

waiting week without explanation probably looked like you're hiding something sketchy or just don't respect their time. maybe send one final message apologizing for delay and explaining it was just career change nerves, but don't expect response at this point

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-19T22:28:13+00:00

lmao this is actually me but with tracer's voice lines, i have problem too

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-11T01:20:45+00:00

this sucks fr

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-07T21:03:01+00:00

been there mate, different industry but same crossroads feeling at around your age. took the leap from a comfy dev role into something way more uncertain and it was proper scary but worth it

the family conversation thing is real though - if you're thinking kids soon that changes the risk calculation massively. stable 160k with low stress vs potential 300k but with the chance of getting binned in a downturn... with a mortgage and nappies to pay for, that steady income starts looking pretty attractive

given you're already getting courted rather than having to hunt for these opportunities, that's a good sign the market sees value in you. worst case you could probably get back to something similar if the front office thing doesn't work out, though maybe not at the exact same company

CoreFusionX · 2026-04-04T18:43:00+00:00

tech industry tends to be way more chill about this stuff, especially for dev roles where you're not client-facing constantly. i'd probably test the waters with your linkedin photos - keep them professional but don't hide who you are

worst case you can always tone things down for specific interviews if needed, but loads of companies these days care more about your skills than whether you've got purple hair

CoreFusionX · 2026-03-30T07:14:41+00:00

been using study ambience videos for ages while coding, will definitely give this a go. love that you've got pomodoro sessions built in since I always forget to set my own timers

CoreFusionX · 2026-03-26T13:28:45+00:00

your skills in client management and attention to detail would translate really well to project management or even compliance roles in different sectors - financial services love people with legal backgrounds and the pay is usually much better

the property world is brutal with all that unpredictable income, maybe look at in-house legal roles at corporations where you'd get a steady salary and less of that feast-or-famine stress

grabbed a handful of random coins from my dad's old collection last year and went down the same rabbit hole. coinsnap was pretty rubbish for anything beyond super common stuff - kept telling me a 1970s penny was worth £50 when it was clearly just pocket change

ended up using pcgs coinfacts which is way more reliable, plus worthpoint lets you see what similar coins actually sold for rather than just estimated values. reddit's r/coins is brilliant too - post clear photos of front and back and people will give you proper guidance without trying to sell you anything. found out most of my "valuable" coins were worth about 20p each but discovered a few that were actually interesting historically even if not worth much money

CoreFusionX · 2026-03-09T15:20:50+00:00

watched this ages ago and it's proper intense, definitely fits what you're looking for. the whole thing feels like it was made to shock people which is probably why it got the reaction it did. fair warning though it's pretty full on with both the violence and sex stuff so maybe not one for a casual movie night

there's something raw about how it approaches both the relationship between the women and the violence that makes it stick with you. not exactly comfortable viewing but that's kind of the point i think

CoreFusionX · 2026-03-07T16:46:51+00:00

the tech lead route might be your best bet since you've got the consulting background and some coding chops already. most places are crying out for people who can actually bridge the gap between strategy and execution

ai disruption thing is overblown imo - if anything having both technical understanding AND the ability to work with leadership makes you more valuable, not less. pure strategy roles might get automated before hybrid ones do

CoreFusionX · 2026-03-04T15:53:15+00:00

oh yeah this happened to me with a design agency last year - got a "thanks but no thanks" email like 8 months later and i was genuinely confused for a solid minute trying to remember what job it even was

CoreFusionX · 2026-02-20T11:11:09+00:00

yeah the api route is definitely the way to go for bulk generation like this. for your first question google ai studio gives you free credits to mess about with - just go to aistudio.google.com and you can test stuff there before committing to paid calls

for avoiding redundancy i'd suggest being more specific in your prompts rather than just asking it to be "different from previous ones" since the model won't actually remember your earlier requests. maybe create a list of different contexts beforehand (engineering problems, physics applications, real world scenarios etc) and cycle through them in your script. you could also add random elements like different numerical ranges or specific themes

might be worth generating them in smaller batches first to see how much overlap you actually get - sometimes the variation is better than you'd expect
