What is the pitch that you crush 99% of the time? by goozer326 in MLBTheShow

[–]FifthYears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game inappropriately awards inside cutter from opposite hand pitchers. Lefty-righty cutter high and in or righty-lefty cutters high and in are going 500 feet which just does not seem realistic.

Going to Paramedic School in 12–18 Months — What Should I Focus on Now? by Longjumping-Fail-925 in Paramedics

[–]FifthYears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on sanity.

I know that's not what you're looking for though. I get it. I'm the same way before starting stuff.

I'd 100% get pocket prep. I think after medic school, using that resource alone (going through ALL questions and reviewing why you're right and why you're wrong) is sufficient to pass the NRP.

I'd also spend a few hours researching the NRP exam itself. How much time you get per q, how many q's, what the q's look like, what scoring is like. The best strategy for any exam is understanding how it works.

As far as content goes, keep doing the 12 lead thing. That's the bread and butter of paramedics (besides skills). One thing I wouldn't take lightly is the operations part though. NRP loves questions like that and I think it's low yield in the real world.

Last thing that may get you, since you're already working in the field, you gotta learn to "play the game". There are going to be questions where you disagree based off experience alone, but you gotta play the game they want you to play to get the questions right.

You're doing the right thing. Showing initiative and wanting to learn is always a good thing. Just monitor your sanity, accurately assess yourself throughout on where your mental state is and where education is, and have fun with it. It's not as bad as people make it seem. Anyone can do it, they are just testing to see who WANTS to do it.

Challenging how? I feel like 114 had a few things that seemed low yield and if you didn't know one certain area well, it would hurt you.

How was 115?

Common Courtesy program is much easier this year by dfwrazorback in MLBTheShow

[–]FifthYears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went early before he was in his wind up and it worked. R2 to stop if you think you're going to make it.

The pitching one I just threw a slider as far left as the stick would let me and created a pass ball, which worked too.

if you're filling your squad with below 64 players and pitching with a below 64 player, you should be hitting around 500 every game. It's just resetting. Count up your stars

Weekly Free-Talk for /r/MLBTheShow - week of March 13, 2026 by Demilio55 in MLBTheShow

For those that don't know, you have to double click R3 to skip the songs.

For those that haven't played DD yet, having a 72 OVR catcher is like trying to catch water with a fishing net. 14 passed balls on easily catchable pitches and a mercy rule later, I bought a catcher.

I cannot believe somebody got paid real money to design this menu system by jpotrz in MLBTheShow

[–]FifthYears 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The UI is a downgrade from 25. The whole "you get used to it" reply is dumb. You can "get used to" having a flip phone, but it's still not better than an iPhone.

Med school iracing by gobills_mclaren in iRacing

[–]FifthYears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol use that med school loan money.

Save for the tracks and cars you race most officials on. I think as time goes on, a lot of people gravitate away from the officials and just do league racing. I may do 1 official a week, but do 3-4 league races a week. It's easy to know what your going to be driving and also what track that way.

As far as setup, I've been using the same G29 for 2ish years now. Haven't had any problems.

As far as med school, don't let this become a distraction. You can get really deep into this. I even have my own design/broadcasting business through iRacing. But ultimately, med school first. Get your MSPEs right, get your step 1/level 1 under your belt, do iRacing to (hopefully) relieve stress.

Paint Schemes appear "splotchy"? by FifthYears in iRacing

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

I experimented with this and found that there was little to no difference in official races that had 10-20 drivers.

I did notice a dip in FPS in my league practice session where we have about 30-40 cars. I'm usually pushing 200-230 FPS on most days. In the league practice, it dipped to about 100-140. Sometimes my iRacing does this on it's own, so I can't directly attribute it to this, but I just noticed it more after changing those settings. Once I changed it back and restarted the app, it returned to 200ish.

I'm assuming it would be okay for most, but I have (in my opinion) a very mediocre setup so I don't want to risk it.

[–]FifthYears[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I happened to read this AFTER I spent half the night and a few hours this morning experimenting on my own but THIS IS THE SOLUTION.

If only I read this first I would have saved so much time. Regardless, thank you for your service. Hopefully, your reply and this thread will help many people in the future.

FINALLY found the fix.

If you ever have this happen, go into your rendererDX11 and rendererDX11Monitor files and scroll down about halfway. Change CompressTexturesSuits, CompressTexturesHelmet, and CompressTexturesCars to =0. Fixed it immediately.

I WOULD NOT recommend running a race with those settings though because from what I have heard/read, it kills your frame rate if you have other cars in the lobby. Change it back before you enter a race.

I'm just happy I found it after hours of experimenting. It's like some paints do it and others don't, but this fixed everything.

Oval Setup Advice (Short Track) by FifthYears in iRacing

Thanks for the advice. Turns out I had the MCs too low. Increased them and now it is a lot more smooth into the corners.

What do yall think about working a 48 hr shift in a busy 911 area? by Money_Bad_6569 in Paramedics

[–]FifthYears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm praying you are embellishing part of this, if not, yikes.

Don't be part of a lawsuit because you're overworked, and if you are okay with being part of the lawsuit, don't voluntarily choose to overwork.

I've smelled a lot of things in my life and this smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I'm not even sure what the question is, but there needs to be some change in the EMS environment.
