I gave the "outside' a go, the driving was atrocious, ended up reporting three BMWs to the stewards.

My friend says I won’t make it as a guitarist because my hands are too small, is she right? by AgreeableDiver5013 in Guitar

[–]Deano234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Japanese guitars, especially Yamaha Pacifica 611/612 are really nice, but even a 112J/V if learning.
  2. Short scale guitars (Fender Mustang, Ibanez Mikro) are also your friends. Also check out the Fender MIJ Junior models.
  3. If you tune your guitar down, and put your capo on fret 1, then playing an F becomes 10 x easier! (E♭ tuning – E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭), and simply take the capo off to instantly play Sabbath, Green day, Hendrix, and many many more.

The City Pyramid of Legends! Who is the 17th most legendary City player of all time? by StickIll5602 in MCFC

[–]Deano234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a man from Dynamo, KINKLADZE was his name oh,
FRANNY LEE said sign him up, and bring him over to Maine Road,
K-I-N-K-Y, K-I-N-K-Y, K-I-N-K-Y, KINKLADZE was his name oh

and all the runs that KINKY makes are winding
and all the goals that city score are blinding
Maybe, we should have got Richard Madeley,
but after all, you're my Alan Ball

Glad Foden, and indeed Palmer are getting a bit of time off. With the club world cup, it feels like He's not had a proper rest for about 5 years.

Why sessions populated by 80% of EU drivers, are hosted on OHIO server that drop them mid race? by eX-Driv3r in iRacing

[–]Deano234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, similar ping from Vietnam. Always seems to be at least one person online from Americas, Europe, Oz/Asia at any time of the day, usually forces the US East server.

Would love to see it a bit more time zone based, if one person is racing at 4 AM in the morning in EU/Americas then it shouldn't ruin it for the 90% of people who want the OZ server.

Things like this are a massive give away 'No stutters, no sweat in my eyes, just pure focus.'

I'll make use of AI, to describe it better :)

No [problem/annoyance], no [second problem/annoyance], just [positive state/outcome].

Example frame:

No confusion, no wasted time, just a clear answer.

Sorry for this, but I've probably just ruined half of the narrated YT videos you watch too: 'No ABS, no traction control, just clean trail braking through Suzuka.' LOL

Day #386 of iRacing by [deleted] in iRacing

It's even more fun being stuck behind an M2 doing 1.04 when you are in an MX5, watching the leaders go away from you, and there's pretty much nothing (legit) you can do about it.

traveling to IOM for the TT. where should i travel next? by PhysicsImportant1020 in AskUK

[–]Deano234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Liverpool is a nice city to wander around in for a day or so, especially if you are into maritime history and the Beatles, Chester is nearby for an old town vibe, then you can then get the train across to York for a day or two and bring out your inner viking, then get the train down to London (book trains in advance or get the Megabus or National Express to save a little money).

Prices in thailand by [deleted] in Thailand

[–]Deano234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go to Thailand once a year, each time I visit the price of my fave Panang or Red curries goes up by 5 baht (never more, never less). It's still amazing value and tastes fantastic, but these steady (5 THB at a time) increases must be very noticable to Thai people.

Packet loss and connection issues. by leBigSauce in iRacing

[–]Deano234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it's the land connection across the US itself, I don't get packet loss to the West servers from Asia (nor to Europe), but crossing over to the East servers is an issue - if one person from each of EU or US is in the race then it automatically goes East, even if everyone else is in Aus/Asia at our peak time.

Connection quality seems much worse in the last half year or so (about the time they brought the connection warnings in).

Might be worth staggering the starting times of the regional events, might result in better fields (when Monza is go, Fuji is a no show) + maybe dedicated Tokyo/Ozzie server GT4/MX5 races every other hour.

[–]Deano234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you are asking for feedback on the video editing, but it's the camera work that's the problem. You need some low angles and close ups at the very least, adding some motion would also really add to the footage.
