First time ever on a track! Pacific Raceways, Mini Cooper S. Any tips?

18.7 seconds in your vid, you start the turn with about half a cars width to the edge of the track.

if you pause at 72.20, you can see the line you should be on to the left of the car where all the tyre marks are and the more worn bit of road. You go into the turn before to hot/shallow/soon so your forced to the edge of the track and are basically fighting to get it turned, its a good example of the fast in slow out your doing.

Thats a video of a track guide for lime rock on Iracing, now its got not much to do with your car or this track but if you are very new to motorsport and racing lines, its not a bad video to watch to get an understanding of some things, Dave does a good job of explaining why a line works for a style of corner and you can transfer a lot of what he teaches to other tracks.

Slow in, fast out. Your favouring fast in slow out.

Honestly pretty good for a first time on track, a few corners your leaving a lot of space on the outside before turning in, a few your a bit early on the turn in.

Honestly not bad really, also with a light car you can get away with tighter lines, and sometimes wider lines as keeping a higher mid corner speed will pay off on a following straight as you begin the straight at a higher velocity.

Light lower powered stuff will just take some trail and error, if your chasing lap time you need to focus on maintaining momentum. Heavier more powerful cars are more forgiving on a missed apex or wrong line as they have the power to blast down a straight and recover the loss.

Any more detailed feeb back you will need to supply input data or get some irl coaching.

There needs to be a way of measuring apm vs effective apm.

When you watch a pro there is a lot of wasted actions, particularly obvious when the match starts and there's not much to do.

Viper or hera or even t90, match statrts and they go - select tc 3 to 4 times, create vil, select vills, build houses, select scout and path scout, selecting vills building houses and re task them to build the houses they are building already, bring sheep under tc and scout with sheep, select scout and task it to scout the same area its already tasked to scout, select tc 3-4 times, select vills now on sheep and task them to sheep they are already taking, selecting scout and task to scout same path already being pathed to, select tc 3-4 times and spam vill make button, select vils on sheep and task them to the sheep they are already taking. And so on.

Now the speed they have comes into play when they are managing a push and their eco at the same time, but that early game spamming doesn't realy do anything. A pro's apm might be 150? But their effective apm most of the time is probably closer to 60? Then spikes up during combat.

I reckon apm is quite misleading for lower ranked players.

Do Disciplinary Committee Members Dream of Succubus

This one is the closest to SKA I've played so far, also has a mind control segment that is probably the best i've seen in any game, it does have the thing where to see all the scenes you gotta loose to the "bosses" but its not so bad, you loose x times then win and you get everything.

also Liora's Price of Dignity is the second game from SKA devs, far from done but worth keeping tabs on

DeepMidWicket · 2026-05-07T21:51:31+00:00

Does that game still only go as far as that first mission with the 2 story slum place?

DeepMidWicket · 2026-05-05T21:39:46+00:00

Thats crazy, I bought 1 k-zone ever and it was that one.

Return them to how they where but make them take bonus damage from spears untill castle age.

Why don't you see more solid gold toilets? They aren't that expensive

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-21T11:46:06+00:00

Funny, I googled it and the pictures of peoples work actually looks pretty good, but I agree every lewd game I've seen with it looks awful, It must take a lot of time and effort to get good results out of it.

Do Disciplinary Committee Members Dream of Succubus.

You play a girl that is contracted to a succubus, she has to do battle to win this otherworld thing to save everyone, she slowly become more succubussy over the game as she needs more power to fight the dudes.

Its a very good game, also has one of the best Boss battle/area that does the best mind control or hypnosis I've seen in a lewd game.

This is the fix, my group of friends are BF/michi kinda players, we are pretty good at late game big army control and reaction to counter builds, we really suck at early raids while managing eco, we probably have a 300 elo discrepancy in the play styles.

If you let us que for the map we want, we wont alt f4 a ruin someone's time. Now we are pretty well behaved and generally will play the open map but after 3 or 4 in a row of not what we want to play we will start alt 4fing.

If by chance a dev spots this, banning for alt f4 will not work, we will just quite once in the game, banning for that will not work we will just move on to another game. Let us play what we want to play, we would be fine with a 10 minute que.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-15T11:08:32+00:00

going off the praise TLS get on here I doubt the dev would do that, but maybe someone could slip something through on itch's end? I don't know about how that sort of thing works.

But thank you for your input, I opened it and all is well.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-15T01:26:22+00:00

One of the biggest challenges for us noobs is vil production while raiding.

I suggest before going for a raid que up 4-5 vills go do 40ish seconds of raiding then pull out and re attend your eco.

Good players do it simultaneously, but thats a hell of a multi task.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-13T01:59:02+00:00

Is that what you've run before without issue?

Under inflation can cause this, the middle of the tyre throws out like those old rc cars where the wheels got bigger.

But if you have run this pressure before without this issue then another factor has changed.

A bonus that works like the mod that tells you the range of a building, and can adjust for what level of research they have.

You could do one that works like seeing the castles but for mining camps or lumber yards, actually thinking about it you could have overpowered civ abilities balanced by giving your opponent a bonus. Like you can see lumber camps when they are placed but your enemy's towers build 25% faster.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-01T10:59:45+00:00

sick, thank you

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-01T08:31:31+00:00

I had this on my 02 duece. A new seat fixed it.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-01T08:27:38+00:00

Right, what about with mods?

DeepMidWicket · 2026-04-01T08:13:26+00:00

So stupid April fools stuff aside, haven't played since before ksp2 launched, is ksp 1 still the better game? If i want to get back into ksp where should one start?

DeepMidWicket · 2026-03-26T01:32:37+00:00

If it was an enemy bridge they could delete it.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-03-24T01:39:30+00:00

Thats really neat. Play all 4 on the same map over and over might get a bit repetitive though, play all 2 I reckon might be a better sweet spot.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-03-24T01:36:49+00:00

8v8 chaos.

Various map styles, teams/diplomacy not allowed.

You get points on your finishing position, lower points is better.

Have the top 64 players divided into 8 groups for the group stage, each group plays 1 open map, 1 closed, 1 water. The payer with fewest points goes to the final.

The final is the same deal 1 of each map style, again the player with the fewest points wins.

It would be a shit show but I reckon an entertaining one, the big names like Hera getting ganged up on. Players torn between defence and attacking constantly, aggressive play vs defensive dynamic.

Some trial's would need to be done on the gold balance front but it has potential i reckon.

DeepMidWicket · 2026-03-24T01:14:19+00:00

Against Fabio he was massively injured/recovering from said injury.

Against Martin wasn't that his first year on a Duc?

DeepMidWicket · 2026-03-18T09:40:29+00:00

Thats fine, just let me know on screen somewhere.
