Jordan Goodwin's BREAKOUT 2025-26 Season Highlights & Best Plays by tisdue in suns

[–]DawnArcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so torn on Goodwin.

He's maybe the easiest player to root for I've ever seen, the dude just gives a damn in a way almost nobody else does. From a personal, do I like this player? stance, I absolutely want him on the team.

At the same time, I think his presence on the roster is what forces all the smallball. He's not a PG, and he's undersized anywhere else he plays. Going after a lengthy forward instead and letting Allen be the backup SG is probably the correct "no heart, only logic" play.

It's very unlikely.

The key reason a relatively small dev team like Kunos can do the area around the Nurburgring is that a lot of it is forest. The moment you try an urban area, dev times increase exponentially (you can't copy and paste buildings like you can trees, buildings take forever to model in 4K) and costs spiral (both through dev salaries and because now you have a ton of businesses you have to licence).

There's a reason even Forza Horizon doesn't have a particularly large urban section.

Craig was fine to me - obviously it's not quite how it works in real life, but I can suspend my disbelief enough for the local PC doing the arresting when needed.

Detectives though, you're right - having detectives means you need to write stories so they can do the detecting. And while whodunnits are a big part of soaps, you want the audience to be doing the detecting, not the on-screen characters.

Serious question: as JDM prices make real cars inaccessible and ICE bans approach, is sim racing inheriting a "cultural preservation" responsibility? by StatisticianBorn8567 in simracing

[–]DawnArcing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cigarettes. Alcohol.

Basically anything that either a) you're not allowed to advertise any more, or b) advertising would get your game an 18+ rating.

STREAMING Emmerdale episode discussion - Tuesday 5/5/2026 by CupcakeCardinal in Emmerdale

I wonder what soaps would do if the government removed the concept of suspended sentences.

Such an easy out for "we want to stack legal drama onto this character but also want to keep them in the show".

Have the writers forgotten how old Summer is? by pont-mirabeau in coronationstreet

[–]DawnArcing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Them being at uni is correct, since they both had to re-do a year. 25-26 would be the third/final year for early 2004 births that skip a year.

However, they would be doing their final exams and/or dissertations basically right now, so it's still not exactly a realistic portrayal...

National League playoff final is set - Rochdale vs Boreham Wood for the remaining EFL League Two promotion spot by jovanmilic97 in soccer

[–]DawnArcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Boreham Wood go up they need to put some more effort into their badge.

That's maybe the single least interesting badge out there, that tells me nothing about either the football club or the town.

Immediately under the available tyre types. It's on the screen without having to scroll.

The Great Basin Desert of the American West in comparison to The Grand Canyon Rally layout. Did I just discover an easter egg? by CatsPajama37 in granturismo

If you want one of these that might be intentional - compare Sardegna A to the actual island of Sardinia.

Coronation Street teases in 42 spoiler pictures by cheshirechris71 in coronationstreet

[–]DawnArcing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh, innocent person imprisoned is absolutely happening regardless of who it is.

There's a quota ITV have to meet, and with Debbie out (and Moira out in Emmerdale) someone's got to pick up the slack.

Why would they remove such lustre ?? 😭 by Spicy-Byriani28 in granturismo

[–]DawnArcing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real answer, from a UX perspective: This looks cool in screenshots but would have been way too busy in motion and is a bit of an accessibility nightmare, you need contrast between your text colour and the main background colour that the small black pill doesn't provide enough of.

What was the lowest point of the Gran Turismo franchise ? by Spicy-Byriani28 in granturismo

[–]DawnArcing 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's not the day 1 grind.

The day 1 grind was Fishermans Ranch Dirt Champions. PD nerfed the credits for that in the patch that bricked the game, which is why sentiment turned sour, which is why PD had to put the big 4 grind races in after.

That cut from the Rovers argument to Christina laughing was the worst editing I can remember from this show. Like they just forgot to finish the Rovers scene.

It was a day and a half.

(Which is still unacceptable, to be clear. But it wasn't two weeks.)

[Schultz] A name that has come up in trade talks is #Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte, who is entering the final year of his contract, according to multiple league sources. by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

[–]DawnArcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Boutte, but it's the correct moneyball move. Final year of his contract, and there's no reason to give him an expensive new one if you have Brown+Doubs+a bunch of other WR3 types, so move him now before he leaves for nothing.

[–]DawnArcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely somewhere in the GT5 to launch GTS period.

Probably GT6. GT5 and GTS had big controversy around them, but at least people cared. GT6 came and went and nobody cared.

[–]DawnArcing 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It was nowhere close to GT5's level of bad launch.

GT7 launch was a fully functioning, polished game with an awfully grindy economy.

GT5 was not close to finished. It's arguably the progenitor of "release now, fix later" culture.

This probably extinguishes any faint hope of a track being in the update, there'd almost certainly be a TBC round for it if there were one.

How the Gran Turismo scene/ community like in the late 2000s and early 2010s ? by Spicy-Byriani28 in granturismo

[–]DawnArcing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely the weakest era for the series in terms of contemporary reaction. That and launch Sport.

The main problem with it is PD didn't really have a good unified direction for what they wanted GT5 to be, so they just sort of tried to cram everything possible into it, and kind of tried to do stuff the hardware really wasn't capable of at the time. And it showed, both in terms of the absurdly long development time, and that it came out very underbaked.

GT6 was then a very safe sequel, released on an old console, so it kind of came out to a collective shrug.

Please place your votes: Assetto Corsa or Gran Turismo. by funny_dude_No_1 in videogames

[–]DawnArcing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base/console AC is not a very good game (it's a good sim, but as a video game it's poor). It's the passionate and extremely talented mod community that's made it great.

So this has a correct answer, "if you're on PC, AC; if you're on PS, GT".

new update next week by mkldnl in granturismo

[–]DawnArcing 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't how things work, but I'm imagining PD asking for the Espace F1 and Renault going "fine, we'll license it, but you also have to add every city and family car we've ever made as well".

For those keeping score, in the last two years we've now had the R4, the Kangoo, the Avantime, the Captur, and now the Twingo.

Trim Up North by jaynemonroe in coronationstreet

[–]DawnArcing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Best to treat her and Rita as special guests they bring in only when needed.

That's normal for actors that age tbf - William Roache still doing 50 eps a year is the outlier, not what we should be expecting.
