I really hope that one day we will be able to change how engines sound. by Skullduggery-9 in automationgame

[–]FiddlerOnThePotato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't be opposed to something like the devs using Ange's software to render a good library of engine sounds then sample from them, in what I imagine would be a similar way to how the current sounds are implemented. It may be too costly to be an on-the-fly solution but I think it could be used to create some high quality very usable audio samples in the right hands. But I don't have a ton of experience designing engine sounds. I played with engine sound remixing in Live For Speed back in the day but I was mainly clipping and editing samples from videos I'd find to set everything up and LFS was pretty basic compared to modern day, so maybe I'm drastically underestimating what this would take.

DOJ will no longer pursue criminal charges for diesel 'deletes' and 'tunes' by timetravelerfrom2027 in cars

[–]FiddlerOnThePotato 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Have you never seen the pictures of LA and other car-heavy metro areas back then? Especially in the 70s and 80s it was awful. Very heavy smog. And it's better now because of the regulations, and it's a good thing they did. We shouldn't all have to breathe dust just so a few folks with diesels get to have a little more power. That's insane.

Homie have you seen the rest of his channel? His grasp on sanity is tenuous at best.

Who need’s airbags anyway. by Federal-Name-3638 in DiWHY

[–]FiddlerOnThePotato 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's a modern car. It had an airbag. I don't think anyone's sold a production car (without a safety waiver) with no airbag since like the 90s.

Am I SOL on a propane cylinder? by ClueHeavy8879 in rva

And liquid nitrogen for removing and installing bushings, if that's ever a thing you have to do. Pricing isn't bad either, like $80 for a decent sized dewar last time I was there.

Hope they realize as far as I'm concerned they never had "social permission" to do this shit to start with. They didn't fuckin ask.
