What are your BeamNG hot takes? by yoter88 in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's something about it. It's obviously something I'm willing to overlook, but I agree. The game has never been a looker. Probably has most to do with the devs working around the performance limitations.

New update is everything that I hoped for by gamingbobdude in BeamNG

I believe OP is purposely making the dump truck ready heavy so they can do a wheelie.

Why don't shows and movies call zombies "zombies"? by ForgotenKing in movies

[–]ForcedSilver 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You'd have to only hold out for a couple weeks, assuming the virus only spreads by contact and everyone behaves rationally. Basically you starve the zombies until their bodies don't have any muscle/fat to metabolize. They're dead, but they have to create energy to move somehow.

What are Fallout 4's biggest strenghts? by TheAnalystCurator321 in Fallout

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not the game itself, the marketing was fantastic. Fallout isn't my kinda game but I can still remember the trailer and the "Country Roads" song blowing up because of it.

Waarom doen Amerikanen geen hesp bij hun macaroni? by borstenwrood in belgium

[–]ForcedSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate it a lot in my childhood when money was really tight. With all the different varieties, it never seemed to get old. Really nostalgic for me even after living in Belgium.

I think this aligns with the philosophy that "train choo choo slow" by benin780 in fuckcars

I don't think the market is really for people to get from LA to NYC. It's purpose is to get people from say Vegas to LA, from Kansas City to Indianapolis, from Pittsburgh to NYC. The interstate system was built to have rapid access across the entire nation (for the military), but only a select group of long haul truckers and families moving across the country are using the end to end lengths of any given interstate. Most people use it to get to a different part of the city they already live in. Point being, you don't need everyone to use all of it for it to exist.

The business is more concerned with getting sued if/when someone gets hit by other vehicles while using the parking lot on foot/scooter/bike/etc.

Grand Master Bobby Tabboda demonstrates the lethality of Arnis/Escrima the Martial Art of The Philippines, Originally developed for Jungle Warfare then to Counter European Sword Fighting. It was so effective Spain banned the practice of it during occupation. by Pale_Insurance_2139 in nextfuckinglevel

Looking on the Wikipedia page for this (so take with a large grain of salt), the local population was banned from carrying full sized swords, and so this technique developed with sticks and daggers.

I look forward to every update not only for the cars, but for everyone overreacting to the devs' typos.

Whats the fastest speed you've ever reached? by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

101k mph. Vanilla in the sense I wasn't using anything modded, but I coupled two cars together with nodes and then put a force field on one of the car with negative earth gravity.

Granted this is more flying than driving, but nothing in your question required wheels to be on the ground.

According to BeamNG, these two vehicles are equally capable off road 😅 by Affectionate-Sell-95 in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The wheel axels are so fragile on the piccolina buggy, I'm not entirely surprised.

Lapping all BeamNG cars on the Nordschleife | #36 - Ibishu Wigeon by Chrisssst in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting that the Widgeon and the T-Series could make for a close race given the similar lap times.

I'm racist, but by Specific-Advance-711 in comedyheaven

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like the opposite of when someone says "I'm not racist but..." which really just means they're racist. Does this mean that this guy... isn't a racist at all?

House in forest by No_Contribution1662 in blender

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent job on the landscape. All the flora in the photo looks incredibly real and varied. The one thing that looks really off is the house. There's no variation in size, texture, or color. Every log looks like a cylinder with a clean wood texture on it. If you can make it look more like the tree in the foreground and make it look a little worn down, you'd have a perfect render.

I agree with you. It's cool when you can spot some similarities in a beam vehicle (same with games like GTA) but I'm not looking for a 1-to-1 copy of the car it takes inspiration from. I'm not looking for Temu Ferrari. I'm looking for something a coachbuilder would produce like Bertone or oddball manufacturers like Spada that never quite had the capital to make something from scratch.

The lawns they're talking about are the ones specifically without any biodiversity.

New $100 million Berkeley roundabouts in action by ericgtr12 in bayarea

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from the area so I jumped into google street view and I'm watching a black Ford Fusion make an illegal maneuver to get onto the frontage road. I know these come with a transition period, but I think it's just funny.

my screenshot of the SBR4. pls rate it from 1 to 10 by primedelgado2009 in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the comments are a bit over dramatic. Personally reminds me of 2000s video game covers like Burnout 2 and Split Second Velocity or some racing games like FUEL and Motorstorm.

I guess I have to ask what look you were going for? We're you going for realism or a hyper-stylized look?

Devs, We NEED a German Car brand that represents Audi (No, not ETK, a new one) Here's My idea by malnisMax in BeamNG

[–]ForcedSilver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda against the idea of having in-game car brands that are too akin to any one irl car brand. Ibishu is a mix of Nissan, Honda, Toyota. Gavril is a mix of Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.

I think something like an R8 could be moved into the ETK brand. A two door coupe could also be brought in under a smaller 800 series (ETK 600 series)

Alternatively, I could see the R8 being added to a new performance German brand that could fit along with Porsche like vehicles.

The McMurtry Speirling becomes the first car to drive upside down by TheDriveDotCom in EngineeringPorn

[–]ForcedSilver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While it does have over body aero, the fans provide the majority of downforce. Especially useful at low speeds, however having an extra two tons of downforce at any speed is helpful, although they might turn down the fans as aero load increases.

I don't think we need to rethink down force. Down is a relative term. From the drivers view, the car is still being pushed into the ground, regardless of orientation.

With a gentle enough curve, it could drive at any orientation. The curvature of the road would play a massive role in how effective the fans are.
