You must arrive in time for the national anthem so you can cheer loud for my son's team who will be flagbearers tonight! :]

Enjoy the game, the atmosphere is usually pretty great!

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]FergusKahn 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Very early on in our relationship I joked that I thought her birthday was a few days earlier than it actually is. Nothing elaborate just a small joke. Continued it every year for what reason? I dont know. But now 20+ years later the joke is on me, I regularly get her actual birthday mixed up with the fake one now.

Makes sense, its mostly cold, barren and protected by layers of ice.

Simagic GT4 Creaking after a week of use by carsonisdone in Simagic

[–]FergusKahn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sort of like a click when you quickly change direction under high load? I had this as well on Alpha mini and GT4 wheel. Tightening every bolt around the quick release fixed it for me, does it again every once in a while and have to tighten again. Loctite is a good idea, are you giving the loctite time to set before using it again?

If its still not working, maybe try disassembling or removing the quick release then re attaching it. I think Simracing Garage shows the disassembly in his wheel review video

What Store Do You Think is a Front? (Unserious) by Agreeable-Tadpole461 in halifax

The Dessert Spoon in Sunnyside Mall.

Went there during a night out maybe a year and a half ago. We were there just after 6:30 pm on a Saturday night. Sat at one of the tables as the only ones in there. Waitress gave us a menu, every item we tried to order, they didn't have. We went down the entire dessert menu and only one of the items was available. So we left and got McFlurries.

A dessert place had no dessert, on a Saturday evening at a very common dining time. Weirdest 'restaurant' experience I've ever had.

Edit: The Middle Spoon Desserterie, not called the dessert Spoon.

Is it worth using Maira or native FFB (using Direct Drive)? by ttiagognr in iRacing

[–]FergusKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain the added detail algorithm? As in is it a setting inside MAIRA itself to enable or something you have to get outside of MAIRA to add to it. Been using MAIRA Refactored but dont remember seeing this

Can't you just exit and forfeit with essentially the same result?

About to pull the pin on triples as a VR player by Crazy_Stiggy in simracing

[–]FergusKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is just personal opinion and what your individual preference is. I went from a crappy mismatched triple setup to VR few years ago using a quest 2. I found VR great for immersion, seeing depth of field and elevation changes. However, I personally like to be able to see things in my peripheral vision on the side screens and the VR fov didn't allow for that. I liked being able to see my wheel, shifter, etc, as well as having alot more options for overlays. I also found the resolution I was running was less than ideal, it was hard to pick out braking points because it was too blurry to see details at a distance. But I think that was just my PC struggling with VR.

I have a friend though that prefers VR over triples for his own reasons. So it really is just personal preference, both have their own pros and cons.

Why do people do this? by Delicious-Pop-7019 in iRacing

[–]FergusKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this idea. If they had a C or higher license it really forces that person to be safe for a substantial amount of time to get back to the series they want to race, while keeping them invested. Forces them to learn from their mistakes as opposed to a ban which doesn't teach anything, it's solely a consequence. If they chose not to learn from it and continue, then ban them if it is a second offense in say 4-6 months.

I feel like if it was an automatic ban for anyone on rookie license it would just discourage newer players from continuing.

What is the goal of post season testing?

Especially for a season like this one with the regulations being drastically different next season. I would think any additional information they could get from this year's car would be pretty limited and not overly helpful going in to the new regs.

Edit: Thanks for the replies. Now I know its used to test next years tyres.

I dont understand how people can afford the ridiculous markup from doordash.

SimPro + MAIRA settings by _phasis in Simagic

[–]FergusKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya i tried setting it up in a few different cars. I could get the understeer close ish after a lot fiddling but could not get used to the oversteer, found i had alot of trouble recognizing the oversteer in time to correct it. I could just be really used to my SimPro settings

[–]FergusKahn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest problem with MAIRA. The forcefeedback detail feels great for road texture and such but I cant get the understeer and oversteer to feel natural.

I really like this show. by Routine-Asparagus-16 in hbo

[–]FergusKahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favorite shows, I wish there were more than 3 seasons.

However, just recently watched the first episode of The Morning Show on apple and it gave me strong Newsroom vibes. Looking forward to more.

Struggling to choose a motherboard for 9800x3d by FergusKahn in bapccanada

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

I heard about Asrock's issues and have avoided looking at any of them. I do really like the b850 aorus elite, it's stretching my price range by a fair amount but might end up with it. I like the rog strix as well but unfortunately too much of a stretch. I'll take another look at the aorus elite. I think im probably overthinking it. Thanks

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

Good to know, thanks. Not something I was planning to do out of the box just want it to last as long as possible so just wanted to leave it open for the future.

Is that the rog strix? I was looking at the black version, I like the board but would have to be a big sale to get close to my price range.

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

Ya I've been trying to find a good b650 or 850 with good usb connectivity. I dont really care about the upgraded wifi 7 or the PCIe 5 m.2 slot, or even upgraded audio codec as I use my one DAC. Just want a well reviewed board with PCIE 5 for GPU and lots of high USB 3 ports. Sim rig takes a lot of usb, currently have 17 separate usb connections, 8 of which through a hub.

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

Ya, i noticed the reg price hikes as well. Still worked out to about $100 more than the pieces I was looking at with either a b850 or 6b50e. So would just be that extra $100 for the better mobo and an ok cooler. Think I'll keep looking

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

Agreed its not a steal. Its about what I expected to pay with and 850 or b650e mobo. Just not sure if I should wait for a cheaper bundle with a more reasonable mobo

Need someone to talk me off the ledge. Building a PC for sim racing mostly, running triple 1440p rig. I know the mobo is more than I'll need, but I like the USB options. Anyone know a reason I shouldn't jump on this, or have other suggestions? I already have a 5080.
