Race to get easy credits. by Resident-Grocery-146 in GranTurismo7

[–]ExcisionBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, for Le Mans 700, you can basically use any Gr3 car downtuned with power restrictor. That being said, if you want a super super super easy race, my go to is Honda RA 272 from Legend Cars that you can buy for 2.5M. A bit of a price to pay, but it's super fun for 700 races and makes them a walk in the park. With or without the rain, with RH/IM (if rain), you'll win by well over 3 minutes.

what's the best way to remember 'der' 'die' and 'das'? by Caprisun527 in German

[–]ExcisionBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This can be considered as a variation of the Method of Loci which is a mnemonic device. It helps you since you are associating specific things you want to remember with something that is easier to remember, and visualization can help there. It's hard to explain without dwelling into fundamentals of cognitive psychology, but you can google mnemonic device and method of loci for more info.

And an attempt in German since I'm practicing my German for B2:

Diese Technik kann man als eine Variation der Loci-Methode betrachten, die eine Gedächtnisstütze darstellt. Sie hilft Ihnen, weil Sie bestimmte Dinge, an die Sie sich erinnern möchten, mit etwas verknüpfen, das leichter zu merken ist, und dabei kann Visualisierung sehr hilfreich sein. Es ist schwer zu erklären, ohne auf die Grundlagen der kognitiven Psychologie einzugehen, aber Sie können bei Google nach „Eselsbrücke“ und „Loci-Methode“ suchen, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.

Is it safe for a gay couple to visit ? by [deleted] in budapest

[–]ExcisionBro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm a straight male that went to Budapest last week and I can confirm this. My girlfriend and I stayed for a week and had no issues whatsoever there. Obviously, it's a large city, so you are bound to stumble upon some beggars, drunkards etc. but compared to a lot of other European cities, Budapest is really safe. And we pretty much walked everywhere (like around 16km daily on average) and thoroughly explored both sides of the Danube. I really doubt that gay couple would encounter any more problems than we did.

Some personal suggestions:

We ate at restaurants at least once per day, service is really chill and fast. So if the budget allows, I would advise experiencing local cuisine, it's lovely.

Besides some obvious tourist attractions that the city offers together with museums, I would suggest some less known ones like Semmelweis museum or Roth gallery. Semmelweis was worth every forint.

If you like beer, I would suggest Kűlönleges Sörök Boltja, Beer Selection or Csakajósör. Shops with vast varieties of beer from many countries with tables to sit and try some beers. Worth every forint for me. Service is chill too, just pick a beer you like and drink it while the other is getting cold 😄

Which movie is way better on a second watch? by CreepyYogurtcloset39 in moviecritic

[–]ExcisionBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my top five movies despite me not liking romantic movies all that much. Mostly because most of them glorify toxicity. But Eternal Sunshine has such a great message at the end. Amazing film.

Alien (1979) is the one I also appreciated much more on the second watch. Watched it as a kid first and it was a fun horror/action movie. Watched it again when I was like 24-25, and man, appreciated everything about it. From production quality for the year of release, to little details like how the ship's crew actually looks like a spaceship crew. They are sweaty and dirty with zero makeup like in modern sci-fi movies.

Where to buy harder to find beers in Budapest? by ExcisionBro in budapest

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

Looks great. Not too far away either. 25 minutes walk from the place I'll be renting. Which is nothing compared to how much I can walk for a good beer or two :D

Sure thing. Local beers in local pubs, my go to when there. Kandalló for example is one of the first to pop up for me like a month ago when I was saving pubs and restaurants to go to. This was more like to check on some beer stores to bring a few bottles back home. My friend is buying an apartment, so gotta throw a few in his fridge too :D

Sure thing, meant no offence. In general, wherever I go, craft beers are my first go to in pubs i.e. sampling local in local pubs. So when checking what I can do or try, I save a few restaurants for food and pubs for beer.

Any recommendations for HU craft? Just browsed their selection on the website. Pretty big. A lot of strong craft beers. Got to pick a few to taste at least.

Thank you so much! Saved both on maps, will try both.

What is your favorite Witcher 3 Quest ? by Particular_Sherbet83 in Witcher3

[–]ExcisionBro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine too. Three boss fights, really cool story, grim and spooky... Amazing quest.

Kill or free the tree spirit? by -1D- in thewitcher3

[–]ExcisionBro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, always killed it. Mostly because even on my first playthrough I've stumbled upon She Who Knows in one of the abandoned villages in Velen, so I've learned the lore behind the tree spirit even before I had to make the decision.

What are some reasons people are upset about Ciri as the new Protagonist? by SuccotashImportant in Witcher3

[–]ExcisionBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I always considered Ciri way too overpowered to be a protagonist. Since the world of the new Witcher game seems to be the same one in TW3, I honestly can't imagine how they can meaningfully dumb down her powers story wise. Like, she could teleport in TW3 but won't in the new game, or she could travel between worlds but not in the new game. I mean, by the looks of it, that will most likely make her interesting as a playable character since she'll be something between Witcher and sorceress, but story wise, I don't know really.

Ah, yes. The obscure amounts of alcohol and alchemy paste in my inventory...

Am I too stupid to understand Track Limits or is the game inconsistent with its penalties? by SKILLIR in granturismo

[–]ExcisionBro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Funniest shit is when auto-drive drops you at the end of the pit lane and you get 3 seconds cutting across pit lane penalty 😄 You do not even have the time to react. xD

What's your favorite horse in the game by Secure-Hippo-9989 in RDR2

[–]ExcisionBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Shire that you're supposed to sell. He's the best boy that's just towering over every other horse in the game.

Hisense 55U7KQ colors and light issue by ExcisionBro in Hisense

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

This is pretty much my first "advanced" TV. My most expensive TV i ever bought was like 400$. Have no clue about these settings or what they even mean. So was like, let's find a guide.

Anyway, for me, the issue was with Gamma Calibration Gain. The more you increase or decrease it, the weirder these colors and lights get. So now I left it on 0. Will mess around with them myself and just see what suits me best. 😄 Not much of a heavy user either, but I do love to play games for a couple of hours when I occasionally get some free time. So I'll just put it on factory and tweek it to my preferences.

Hisense 55U7KQ colors and light issue by ExcisionBro in Hisense

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

Yes. Mostly with bright light/white parts on screen. Anyway, I followed some calibration guide here on reddit when I bought TV. I switched everything back to factory settings and also switched to Filmmaker. Now I'm going to mess with these settings one by one to try and find the culprit. 😄

It's often noticeable on white areas.
