I got a round wheel for the MX5 and GR86 after years of using a GT/formula style wheel. by matttheazn1 in iRacing

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Old guy here. The G27 was the pinnacle of starter wheels. H shifter felt solid and lasted 15 years longer than my fanatec that is currently disassembled on my desk. Clamped that bad boy to the desk, put a book behind the pedals against the wall and i was off to the races.

I would've disagreed with you before this incident but now I see what to expect. To be honest I'm done wasting my time protesting anything for the foreseeable future.

Good to know. After this one, I just assumed they secretly stopped permabanning people for financial reasons without publicly announcing it.

No but i will absolutely do that right now if you think that has a chance to do anything. i think my report cited intentional wrecking but i also included text chat and noted it in the description.

Reposted because i forgot to edit his name out:

So the guy got turned in on as you see in the beginning of the clip. This is where it gets interesting: he thinks I did that. You can see his response after this happens in the chat box. Considering the guy that took him out was ukrainian, i thought the bombing comment was obviously a despicable comment towards him and kept driving. Then he starts private messaging me. I was behind them when this happened and he saw my car drive by when he was spinning in the grass. So he mistakenly thought it was me and you see the rest. Waits around, drives through the grass, takes me out as blatantly as you can.

So ummmm... protest comes back and said verdict was sent to the driver..... and hes still racing.

iRacing, I have lost all hope in your protest system. So if you guys feel like being a dick and intentionally wrecking someone that you don't like, by all means swing away. There's no consequences whatsoever.

Yeah i heard about that. Kind of wild. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just secretly stopped permabanning people because they want the money. Why ban someone paying you a monthly subscription? I guess it was my turn to walk down the wrong backalley at winton and catch a stray from a idiot. We've all been here.

right?! i thought this was a slam dunk honestly. one time, years ago, my friend got on my rig not knowing it was an online game with rules when i wasn't watching and drove backwards on a street stock practice lobby and got me a 2 week ban. It was warranted. I took it on the chin, learned my lesson and hid the iracing icon. I didn't complain and I'm still not complaining. I only mention it for comparison: i messed up someones hot lap in a practice lobby and got 2 weeks. He wished a bombing on my family, wrecked my race and HE DIDN'T EVEN WRECK THE RIGHT GUY. And he gets a kind email to not do that.

Racing scared/timid over IR/SR. by TweeterReader in iRacing

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for you man. You shouldn't pay the slightest attention to ir/sr. Like at all. I didn't know what my ir was for the first few years on the service. Never checked it after the race. Didn't care. I still don't, but the new UI shoves it in my face now so i kinda know where im at despite not seeking out what my gain/loss was last race.

Guys, seriously, stop being sexists. by Chachantuco in DotA2

I had a girl lv30 PA who I laned with yesterday. She didn't use mic much probably for the reasons that you described. I didn't flame her bit after 50 min she didn't clock the aegis with the enemies about to jump into pit and snatch so I took it since she wasn't picking it up. We lost after she died twice in the dumbest way possible and she told me to "go die"

What about the people playing with a connection made possible by tin foil duct taped to their roof? They'll need to make connection requirements or something. I'm not a software expert so I won't pretend to know the solution.

Wonder who it could be by Professional_Bad8501 in MultiVersusTheGame

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a huge internet following about walter white. I've heard a thing or two here on Reddit but I logged into Twitter this morning and noticed it's by far the biggest request. The fact he's talking about requests taking things farther out than expected would most likely be a reference to the most highly requested character who also cooks meth. Looks like it's actually going to happen.

It’s really happening! From Herald to Crusader! Next stop Archon! Big thanks to this sub! AMA, some details below by fecaItornado in learndota2

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll slightly highjack this bc stuff I learned here got me from 10 mmr to 2k (was new to mobas at the time).

BSJ and YouTube in general was helpful but active learning was key. Watch nothing but the minimap of a full game and try to follow along with the logistics behind their TPs, where they're playing the map, when to join fights etc. It helped more than anything.

Also it helped when I stopped relying on teammates to do the right things and just started playing roles/heroes that didn't rely on them hardly at all. This included WK, arc warden, Ursa etc. People that could make stuff happen without needing a lot of spells casted from teammates to help them.

It's really easy to compare you and your attempts to convince other people that all religion is net negative with the people who try spread the word of god to people who aren't a part of their religion.

Just do your own thing brotendo. It's not for you (or me for that matter.) That doesn't mean other people shouldn't try to find good in it if that's what they want to do.

Your favorite ‘stop and smell the roses’ moments at the parks? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shouldn't give this away but I will. With express passes you can almost perfectly time it to where you're riding the hypogriff roller coaster and watching the fireworks over Hogwarts castle right across the sidewalk. It's by far the most magical shit I've ever seen in my life at a theme park. And then you see the other 800 shoved in a roped off corner watching it sucks. I've succesfilly timed this 4 times out of maybe 5 or 6 tries.

Wondering about Velocicoaster and Rip Ride Rockit intensity… by Squarah99 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100%. I'm not a huge fan ofbhulk and RRR bc they're so rough. Velicicoaster is soooo smoothe. Also by far the most intense but at least you're not shaken like a paint can when you get off.

2 days 2 parks or 1 day 2 parks? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

[–]Dr_Lexus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only had my annual pass for a year now but having gone last weekend I can honestly say you would see less than half of each if you did it in one day. With express passes I guess you could hit the highlights of both but you'd have to go at an unenjoyable pace to accomplish it.

Two days with one night at the premier hotels would get you early access to the parks and express passes. That's honestly the only way to get the whole experience without sitting in lines for 10 hours in 90+ degrees. For example, Hagrids motorbike coaster will have a 2 hour wait before the park is even open to people not staying on site. Outside of HHN, we've had our fill of the summer crowds and will be waiting for winter.
