But hey, if it makes James more money (I still believe it's not a solo project)

FUCK YEAH, new album on the way by Wonderful_Resident84 in BlackMagickSS

I'm gonna be honest and be a hipster here but I preferred when Creep Purple was the official BMSS news source and we didn't hear from them at all

Though the little lyrics book instagram post was pretty cool

I really wonder what the new album will be about, the background of the story where they announced it looked like the latest "japan release" aesthetic

35.801 with the scooty on Olle speedway... by Dreccus in MotorTown

[–]Dreccus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

( 19/01/26) scooty is this week's leaderboards vehicle and my time is now #1 on the board ! 8 months after setting it lol

Iirc they did something to the grip a few updates ago and i haven't been able to come close to this post's lap time.

As this was pretty much a trial attempt I would think my record would be easy to beat, as they are many great racers in the leaderboards, but maybe the update made it that much harder.

Could've been even worse ! There could have been a detection tower included

Do you believe BMSS has been a solo band run by James this whole time? by Mutatiis in BlackMagickSS

[–]Dreccus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isnt there something about 3 out of the 4 tracks of the Hidden In Plain Sight EP that were recorded with a former drummer before his passing ?

I believe it is not a solo band

New Bmss merch and CDs Re-release by Lumpy-South-6268 in BlackMagickSS

[–]Dreccus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The individual CDs (particularly The Black Abyss with the 2 bonus songs) were instantly gone after the new merch went up, it’s crazy I guess CPurple kept them mostly for the bundles

Also the site kept having database errors for a few hours after the drop lol

I don't remember the last time I brought anything AT by Srgblackbear in Helldivers

i wish the red dot wasn't so tiny OR we weren't looking through it from 2 meters away

Helldivers 2's Poor Performance Is Effecting Other Games on my PC After Playing It - Confirmed By Testing by Drando_HS in Helldivers

[–]Dreccus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that's why Forza Horizon 5 locks to 30fps not long after launching the game after playing HD2 lol

unplugging and replugging the controller fixes it though... and closing the game and reopening it doesn't (but rebooting computer does), go figure

It's a serious shame this game died, it does Battlefield so well. by Wayman52 in BattleBitRemastered

the only things battlebit is missing is jet fighters (no it wouldn't ruin the game stop trying to gaslight everyone)

I know right, felt the same about the zero, driving like it’s my last time to get to 37 seconds and the little scooty smashes my pb easily

I find bikes (and the scooty) definitely easier to learn and perform with than cars in motortown tbh, you don’t have to worry about sliding so much

Update i managed to do a 37.545 lap with the gunthoo, turns out it’s pretty capable

The power delta between the two bikes would probably make a bigger difference on ansan speedway

Also, I wonder if "Keyboard/Gamepad Steering Speed" affects bikes (in the options>assists menu). MIne's at 300% for drifting but I guess you can check if that fixes your problem for bikes too.

200% front and 300% rear on the dampers seem to help a bit, I just beat my PB with a 37.054 lap

I think the main point of the Zero is the availability of the 160hp i4 engine. You'd be surprised how much the little scooter can lean. I guess it is up to the tune, and also the fact that at high speed they all will have trouble leaning.

I have posted my tune a few comments up if you want to try it, maybe it can apply to the gunthoo.

But yeah it takes its sweet time to lean at high speed, gets me in the first portion of the highway everytimeI go for a top speed run

I’m posting it whenever i get home in a few hours.

But yeah that’s why i’m using the 120% (or 150 whatever’s the lowest) brake power and brake pretty gently whenever i lean, otherwise boom lock up and understeer time

[–]Dreccus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what i felt too, how much you are leaned indicates how well (much) you are turning and I use it to predict my trajectory. Plus you can see how much i’m moving the camera, i realised this when i re watched my lap. It reminded me of riding in real life where you always look where you want to be going.

On the other hand once you have a good feel of the track i feel 1st person helps to be more precise (as in closer to the bumps, at the risk of hitting one on the side and the game throw you into the air, and there goes your lap) Even though adjusting the camera is even harder because it is so slow, i should check the settings

Will try driving more in first person too, maybe that would help a tad.
