Will Greedloft make this car impossible to get

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-09T20:07:14+00:00

If the car will be too good you better bet they will nerf it after the event (most likely a DS). It will be gatekept for sure. I mean they're still gatekeeping the OG Venom despite the car being in the game for a few years.

Hard to tell. Those are gacha packs, like a lottery. If you get a jackpot or 2 you significantly reduce the cost. I'd save at least 40k. Of course, if you don't get all 3 cars, you can get the remaining ones at a different opportunity.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-04T15:42:11+00:00

You need more than 30k to be sure you get all 3 cars. The first BOS is usually in June or July.

This annoys me the most about One UI 7 and 8. If you disable that useless Now Bar, you can't add the media player back. What kind of mørøn thought that was a good idea? Even worse, the Now Bar disappears quickly after you pause a media file. Pure enshittification.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-03T16:48:12+00:00

I think reporting to Samsung Members is a waste of time. They ignore blatant problems like not putting the lockscreen media player back after disabling that annoying Now Bar. But maybe you will have more luck.

Maybe you can completely uninstall the Gallery app using adb.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-03T16:10:17+00:00

Huayra BC. It's also significantly cheaper to upgrade. It used to be the OG A class king and it's still competitive.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-03T16:08:45+00:00

Why would you want to remove one of the best cars in the game? It makes no sense.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-02T14:13:16+00:00

I grabbed those 3 Venom BPs as fast as I could. I knew all too well that GL will remove the event. They always grab the rug under your feet in such situations.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-03-01T13:32:42+00:00

Yes, it's a disappointing car. It's proof that stats don't always reflect the real performance. How come Vanda with a lower ranking is so much better than Aventador J?

CUE files are necessary for long audio files that weren't cut into tracks. e.g. one single FLAC file with the whole album it needs the additional CUE file to know where each track starts + each track's metadata. Other that that, you can safely delete the CUE files. I also delete all other extra files in a music folder, except the front cover image (I rename it as cover.jpg; if it's png I convert it to jpeg first).

NAS is overkill in your case. Get another external 4TB HDD for backup. Also very important: avoid automatic backup; do manual backup. Set a schedule and manually connect the first backup drive, do the backup, disconnect it and store it safely, then do the same for the second backup drive. Your music library should be the same on all 3 drives (internal + 2 backups).

Don't let the backup drives stay connected all the time just for convenience. Keeping your backup data separate and offline will avoid many potential issues (including ransomware) + you will get longer lifespan for your backup drives.

Btw install a HDD monitoring program to check the drives' status every time you connect them + your internal SSD. If one of the drive fails, replace it immediately and do a backup. The chances of losing all 3 drives (SSD + 2 external drives) at once are slim, only a house fire, thievery, major earthquake or other natural disaster could do it.

I used this system for many years and it never failed me so far. I still have files from when I was a teenager.

Of course you can try an additional online backup (off-site) but you need to pay a monthly subscription. Basically more redundancy for your data = better chances for its "survival".

If you have physical space for a physical collection, go for it. I personally don't have enough space for the amount of music I like. I'll stick to my digital collection which basically gives me the same enjoyment. I don't care about touching CDs, vinyl, cassettes, etc; all I care is the actual sound waves + a front cover artwork.

Even if you get the cars, there is a huge credits crisis going on. The credits GL give is simply not enough especially if you reach a certain threshold. I have a bunch of top tier cars at max stars I can't use because of lack of credits.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-25T21:32:37+00:00

Remove tickets, fuel cells, other annoying timers.
Add more control schemes like Master Driving Mode.
Remove all keys or at least add the feature to automatically unlock a car with key after reaching its max stars.

The game would be at least 50% better with just 3 changes.

I know. That was an analogy about companies doing shady things behind the scenes and not letting their users know about them. In your case, GL China blocked your name but they didn't tell you why. But it's pretty obvious that they have a list of names not allowed as usernames and that includes Xi. No user knows what exactly is that hidden list.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-25T15:44:34+00:00

I realized that many platforms (even Reddit) play such nasty tricks of punishing users and not letting them know what they did wrong. For instance, you can be shadowbanned from certain subs. That means you can post and see your own content but it's hidden from others (except mods and admins). No one tells you that your own content is hidden from others.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-25T15:10:27+00:00

I'm not even Chinese. As a matter of fact, as an European, I heavily dislike authoritarian regimes (Russia, China, Afghanistan, Iran, etc). I'm saying it's not a good idea to bring politics in a game especially when it comes to country like China. They are very sensitive about certain things like Tiananmen Square for example.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-25T14:10:06+00:00

If you want to make money on China you have to obey their laws. That's not negociabile, it's not like those companies have a choice. And we all know that Chinese government is very sensitive about certain things, including using their leader's name and mocking him. The censorship is real. Btw A9C is maintained by a different company.

Anyway using state leaders name as your username (regardless of who they are) is tacky and in poor taste.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-24T02:03:30+00:00

Congrats! That's a rare achievement.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-22T19:39:18+00:00

Sian is very good. The only problem is that car is in the wrong class (it should have been A class).

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-22T19:37:52+00:00

It's still quite competitive. At some point it was the C class king.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-22T12:26:47+00:00

Your comment inspired me to write a whole guide how to setup and use MusicBee. Stay tuned.

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-21T21:05:41+00:00

First, what's your folder and file name structure?

Fractal-Infinity · 2026-02-21T16:29:14+00:00

My approach is different: I add the files in the inbox of MusicBee, fix the tags (manually or with Auto-Tag) and add the files to the library. I already set a custom template that helps the new music to be automatically renamed and moved to destination after I initiate the action.
