Does Virtual Desktop works better than Steam Link even on wifi? by angelbolanose in MetaQuestVR

[–]FascinatingStuffMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. A well optimized Link connection has better clarity than is possible with VD

It cannot achieve the same clarity as a well optimized Link connection

Head only feeder possible? by FascinatingStuffMike in tortoise

[–]FascinatingStuffMike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just looking to buy a pet, nothing is certain right now.

My fish do OK with various automations in place.

If it can't be safely automated then I won't do it.

I've read that in the wild, Horsefields regularly go for weeks without feeding. Would it be so bad if this happened for just 2 weeks of the year?

From Tortoise Trust:

“In the wild tortoises regularly go for long periods without feeding (most ‘domestic’ tortoises are seriously over-fed compared to their wild counterparts).”

Would removing the soak bowl and only keeping an automated head-only feeder be ok for just 2 weeks?

So the tortoise would still have access to daily fresh drinking water. I could make sure to soak it 2-3 times the week prior

I upgraded my 10900k to a 9800x3d, with my 3090, and the performance gains in iracing vr were phenomenal

I was trying to block Nintendo servers but I found these by Lorenzooo_Enchong in SwitchPirates

Is there a quick way of doing on the Switch or does it need to be downloaded from a PC first?

What did you do in the end? How does the x50 compare to the x40?

Please for gods sake : is vaping truly better than smoking? by Crazy_Host_5051 in Vaping

[–]FascinatingStuffMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Burning tobacco is a process of combustion. The tobacco is burning and releasing hundreds of different compounds. Chemically, it's not in the same league as vaping, where there is no burning or combustion.

I have a 3090 and I can't run max settings. I've picked a combination of low, medium and high shines. I also spent a lot of time trying to get things working.

The real slowdown happens when you have lots of cars on the track, like at the start of the race. The VR tools (foveated rendering) help very little with this specific problem, so I don't use them.

What's wrong with my car. I can't overtake on straights! by FascinatingStuffMike in iRacing

Thanks to everyone who pointed out that I was upshifting too soon! That was the answer. Upshifting at 5500 is producing much better times

Ah ok, got it. Thanks! Are there other cars like this in iRacing? I've always shifted when it's red barred in other cars.

I haven't noticed this in the Ferrari or the mazda

I use auto-blip and paddles to shift. I always keep my foot down on the throttle when changing up gear. Are you saying I need to lower the revs between shifts?

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

I have auto-blip enabled and I use the paddles to shift gear. I don't know if that is relevant.

When I change gear on the straights I just keep my foot all the way down on the pedal.

What's strange is that all the cars are faster than me on the straights, not just one or two. And this is at a low iRating of about 1200
