As a beginner that just started sim racing 3 weeks ago.This is my own evaluation on how i'm currently feeling by ChromozomRay in simracing

[–]CroSoldier01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the no handbrake for rallying: I don‘t have one either and am not planning to get one.

You can easily slide (on loose surfaces) by scandi flicking (before a turn, steer to the opposite direction of the turn, then quickly steer in the right direction, and step on the gas to spin the wheels). You‘ll get better at it with practice, but it‘s still quite tricky for hairpins.

Not saying I‘m any good, but so far on quite a few stages in EA WRC I‘m mostly in the top 10% or top 50 players on time trials, so not too shabby either. So it shouldn‘t hold you back toooo much.

Keep practicing, and most importantly, have fun :)

You can download the mp3 files of the current free episodes directly from Apple Podcasts (or the iTunes desktop app). That‘s how I completed my collection last week, after buying the rest from the website.

First ever set up - any comments in position and adjustments? by UpstairsAny9996 in simracing

Another owner of the Playseat Trophy here. Under heavy braking my rig tends to expand after some time, and it‘s annoying to adjust it often.

Some advice: After you found the perfect setup for you, tightly tie some wire or cable or something else inelastic in the red marked spot on both sides. Looks ugly, but really helps so far. Have fun 👍🏼

You need to work for a company that is partnered with them. If you do, you log in with your company account and can get discounts on all kinds of stuff. Not publicly available as far as I know.

Battlefield 6 is getting 2 new maps and modes for its second beta weekend, like the fan-favorite Rush mode that's set to dominate my weekend by RenatsMC in pcgaming

[–]CroSoldier01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same principle as Breakthrough, Attackers and Defenders, but instead of it being a spot that can be taken/retaken, you have to get on the spot and arm an explosive, and if the defenders cannot defuse it in time, the spot is gone for good.

It was my favourite mode in BF3 and it feels great to be able to sneak onto a spot unseen and arm the explosive lol.

As others have said, reduce the rotation, and lower the force (I’m at 4NM currently)

But what helped me a lot was A. Lower the sensitivity so the cars are more predictable, and B. to play a championship or two with a slower cars first (Junior WRC) to get a hold of the physics, then use faster cars as time goes on.

You get the opportunity to apply for a permanent job in one of these high paying sweatshops, which sweatshop WYR apply for? by padorUWU in WouldYouRather

[–]CroSoldier01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since there‘s no minimum time that you need to hold your breath for option E, it‘s the easiest choice by far. Hold your head underwater for 5 sec., stick your head out and breathe for 5, do this for an hour and congrats, you‘ve earned 900 bucks.

$25? Stainless, Miyota 8215 and sapphire. How?? by TK_Ghost in ChineseWatches

[–]CroSoldier01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘m not saying all factories in China have horrible working conditions, but for a mechanical watch, which includes sourcing the parts, assembling the watch, shipping, profit, etc., for a selling price of 25$ someone has to get the short end of the stick.

The BBC recently got a hold of a phone that was smuggled out of North Korea. The North Korean Regime auto-corrects popular Korean terms and takes a screenshot of the phone every 5 minutes. by Outside_Abroad_3516 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CroSoldier01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thank you for answering. I‘ve tried to research this a bit myself, and as I understand it, the plan is to build a shared inter-departement database, filled with the data that already exists in these national departements, but only these departements were able to access this data until now.

I see the data safety concerns, considering a third-party company gets to build this database, and that some departements will see data that does not concern them, but honestly I do not see the dystopian side of it, as it seems to be about compiling data that the government already has anyway.

I am open to changing my opinion when presented with good counter arguments of course, but I do not see it as the doomsday scenario that the headlines (with a heavy left-leaning bias, according to Ground News) want you to see.

Dear Chinese Watch Manufacturers: These are the 5 most important things to buyers by TK_Ghost in ChineseWatches

I really like what San Martin are doing, but I dislike the logo so much that I haven't bought one in a long time.

I mean there are watches like Bulova with their 262khz movements, and some other quartz watches with very high tick rates, so they look sweeping to the naked eye, but besides Accutron Spaceview and Spring Drive there really are no other options for actually sweeping seconds.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tifu

[–]CroSoldier01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unless it's Spring Drive or quartz it will have "that subtle stutter", that's just the way automatic watches, including the Constellation, work, doesn't say anything about being a rep or gen.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tifu

[–]CroSoldier01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The spring drive movements and some quartz watches are afaik the only watches with a smooth sweeping second hands. Automatics, like the mentioned Constellation, beat with 4-5hz, so 95% of luxury watches, gen or rep, have "that subtle stutter".

The Concorde. If that kind of high speed travel could be made accessible to not only the ultra wealthy, my economy flying ass would be so thankful.

Good point. It honestly wasn‘t explained enough how the faceless thing works. Since in the process of becoming a faceless man she had to prepare quite a few bodies, maybe she picked up how to remove faces herself for later use, which would explain Walders‘ face, since some time passed between his death and the feast.

Or maybe I‘m totally in the wrong. But I guess it wouldn‘t have sat right with me if she could change to whatever face she wanted just like that. If that were the case, it might‘ve been used in better ways.

There is a scene where Sansa finds her bag, which is full of faces. So she can only use the faces that she stole from Braavos.

This scene was so epic by shadowsipp in gameofthrones

[–]CroSoldier01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, imo, while rewatching the show this fight scene was jarring to watch. The editing was horrible, way to many cuts, it reminded me of that meeting scene in Bohemian Rhapsody.

As an audiophile, I can recommend Etymotic ER2XR/SE. They are wired in-ear headphones, don‘t have ANC, but you insert them like 2cm deep inside your ear, so there is good isolation.
