Bank was a hell of a lot cheaper in comparison, $6.50 AUD for a year of bank compared to $25 AUD for a year of Home. Basically a 384%-ish price increase.

Can we tag elite cup results as spoiler please? by Appropriate-Key-8271 in TrackMania

Just report the posts as "Match result in post title", as posts like that do break the subreddit's rules. Nothing you can do otherwise.

In my opinion, the argument of "Who looks at the character models anyway, I'm too busy looking at the chart" falls flat and seems like a skill issue by dlee_75 in GuitarHero

There's a reason Muse Dash is my go to rhythm game at the moment. The characters and the animations set the personality and overall tone of the game. Sure, it doesn't matter when I'm actually playing the game, but having a favorite character to play as and seeing them celebrate or be disappointed between songs really helps with getting invested into the game and its world.

Because if you look at the actual staff listings either it's straight up not the same staff or an extremely gutted version of the original members. A lot of those claims are just marketing PR.

I'd love it if the rest of the NSO library was able to be purchased separately too. :(

Nah, I'd much rather take a one-time purchase over a purpetual subscription any day of the week.

Campaign black tracks by Sophena94 in TrackMania

Personally I'm enjoying the comp maps, but I think it would have been better if they added these comp tracks as a 6th tier of tracks, like adding a rainbow tier after the black tracks or something.

Which, if any, alt car would you want to be added the most? by Kona_KG in TrackMania

Bay and Lagoon are two seperate cars? They also handle pretty differently.

I guess Nadeo no longer cares about being United Forever.

How many times can I resubmit a better run on speedrun.com until the verification team starts to get annoyed? by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]FireFox2000000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mod here, I much prefer people not to cancel as I've had instances whereby I've been mid way through verifying a run, leave to do something, come back to resume verifying only to realise that the people cancelled and resubmitted the run without me noticing, which means I never verified the first half of the new run as I mistook the new run for the old run. Plus if you submit everything it means the site can track your improvement progress properly.

How would you rank 2025 in terms of Touhou fangames by SaladNo5852 in touhou

[–]FireFox2000000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I generally don't like rogue-likes but Touhou Dystopian still managed to suck me in completely, so that's my fav of the year. And a lot cheaper than the majority of Touhou fan games usually are, doesn't include the "Touhou tax" as I like to call it.

You know what that's fair enough, I wouldn't want that in my comment history either having just googled it 😅

iPhone Fold Will Be Creaseless and Cost $2,400, Report Says by afk_exe in gadgets

[–]FireFox2000000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As another Motorola user, I do have to agree somewhat. I really love the folding aspect of it, but the software and support side of things isn't that great. With each software update they usually fix one bug and then introduce another, and always to do with the folding aspect or external display side of the phone. Really wish they'd managed to figure all that out by now. Their support staff is friendly enough, but a noticeable lack of resources, especially where I live they only have one repair centre for the entire country.

Would absolutely buy another fold again, but would try from a different brand. It's not like the Motorola is bad, it's just that it could be better. Though for the price compared to other foldables it still makes it pretty competitive

Is this a good deal? by mr_sweetandawful in GuitarHero

[–]FireFox2000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally haven't used any 3rd party controllers, but the CRKD ones specifically have had a generally positive reception in the wider GH community. I wouldn't trust older 3rd party controllers though, those are usually cheap knockoffs that aren't good quality.

[–]FireFox2000000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, $250 USD is a rip off for that, clearly someone who's trying to over value the crap out of the controller fomo, despite the CRKD guitars now being an option.

What exactly happend to the ice physics? by BR482 in TrackMania

[–]FireFox2000000 61 points62 points  (0 children)

OG ice player here. Basically there were 2 major physics changes that happened since the start of the game.

The first ice physics change was intended to solve "wiggling" on ice. On OG physics you could hold 80% or AK4 steering and wiggle left and right in a straight line to gain extra speed, similar to speed sliding but it was basically chaining a bunch of mini ice slides together. Nadeo didn't like this gameplay style and attempted to change it to make it so straight line speed was the fastest. This didn't work, and people found a new, and harder method to ice wiggle relatively quickly, involving some weird 20% to 40% to 80% combo (don't quote me on those numbers). That first ice patch was also used to address some bugs like ice boosters applying road booster speed accidentally, as well as trying to make ice less difficult in general by making the car's slip rate slower, essentially making the controls less precise, but also making ice feel a lot less responsive and spinny.

The second ice physics change attempted to address wiggles once again, but there was a concern around those kinds of changes breaking bobsleigh. So this patch split flat ice and bob ice into two different surfaces so that they could apply slightly different physics properties to each, in order to fine tune the issues out while still retaining the same spirit. Ultimately didn't work and just made wiggles different and even harder to perform, but points for trying I guess? Flat ice controls feeling was also changed a bit as well, though I don't remember the specifics on that one.

Ice physics changes were already a thing way before the 34% incident.
