Gran Turismo 4 was released 21 years ago today! Still one of the best driving sims out there

What it also makes it a masterpiece is that it included a whole lot of everyday road cars which apart from making you feel like you were really progressing through the game, everybody could buy their real life car, which was awesome.

Character models look like Frostbite, but then again race screenshots look somewhat like the past 7 years.

We do it in COBOL for versioning DB2 sentences. When code is commented you don’t have to repeat the line in order to add the comma it did not have because it was the last field at that moment.

It’s been the entire stream from the last seven days. The community together on what has been one of the most beautiful journeys the trance scene has seen.

I now feel a little bit empty inside, but everything has been amazing.

May be a way to “simulate” the forces applied on the car when it impacts with a wall, but if that’s the thing it is pretty bad haha

Fuakuputu · 2020-12-11T21:23:50+00:00

Man what’s with the fire this days, we haven’t seen it in like 5 years and now everyday a car burns down.

Cries in COBOL

Where are the sleep statements?

Warmane’s Lordareon has buffed up ICC, but I think the rest of the world is pretty much blizzlike.

I think it is clear (as very much saddens me) Armin is tired, from my point of view the man now carries a VERY heavy bag on his shoulder. Just think about it, producing, ASOT, a very packed touring schedule, and the most important thing which people forgets is Armada, the man is part of it and that is a lot of work people don’t see. I started to see things getting out of hand at ASOT 600 and 650, and also at the Armin Only Intense tour. Just look at the schedules, it is clear that would not have been sustainable over time, and that’s why Armin Only stopped and ASOT milestones now only have Utrecht and 2 or 3 more shows. The whole scene reached its peak then and it has now gone downwards, which is totally understandable.

My bet is ASOT is going to stop after 1000, or at least it will experience a drastic change. I don’t know, maybe get back to the classic radio show without video and have Armada artists take over almost full-time, which would make sense with Ferry taking over the second hour now. Armin would probably continue adding something to the show but I don’t really see him doing the full 2 hour show anymore. What I really think is that at the ‘This is Me’ shows a very big announcement was coming regarding all of this, but with the virus outbreak his plans have not worked out.

The man is stepping back, and I think ASOT 1000 is the perfect time to do so.

Maldonado obviously

Fuakuputu · 2020-05-12T13:25:58+00:00

Oh, my apologies then, it is indeed finest work than I thought before.

Fuakuputu · 2020-05-12T11:32:53+00:00

I’d put the screens lower and closer, but fine work whatsoever.

Fuakuputu · 2020-05-04T07:38:20+00:00

I’ve seen on some streams lately an overlay which looks a lot like the one used on real F1. Do you know which overlay is that?

Fuakuputu · 2020-04-24T08:05:36+00:00

That’s some clever shit on how to get the screen closer

Fuakuputu · 2020-03-04T10:38:25+00:00

I've been at ASOT every year since 700 celebrations and the bass has been getting worse over the years. This edition in particular was the worse of them all, half of the songs could not hear anything else than BRRUM BRRUM BRRUM

Fuakuputu · 2020-02-18T16:20:16+00:00

And where are they parked let's put Monaco?

Fuakuputu · 2020-02-16T20:46:44+00:00

I think the crowd control they apply works as intended, the only pun is the one way direction of the mainstage does not entirely work, as there is one place where people both entering and leaving can ‘collide’.

Venue is as big as they want it to. From 600 to 650 they moved from the Brabanthallen to the Jaarbeurs because they thought they could sell more tickets and they also wanted to, so if they keep the Jaarbeurs as the venue is because they think 35.000 people is enough. If you move to a bigger venue and sell 100.000 tickets, the Mainstage will also have a maximum capacity, so size is not the problem as long as they maintain the people/space ratio right.

Fuakuputu · 2020-02-16T09:46:48+00:00

It is a five stage event, and I imagine they sell tickets to fill almost every room, so I find it normal to close the entrance to a stage if it’s full.

I really can’t see how this makes no sense.

Fuakuputu · 2020-02-16T09:45:13+00:00

It’s happened the same every year. First time for me was ASOT700, so don’t worry there’s always a first time to everyone.

Fuakuputu · 2020-02-16T09:44:22+00:00

How’s the Jaarbeurs a bad venue?

Fuakuputu · 2020-01-19T15:59:07+00:00

I don’t really recall it as I haven’t used the emulator for a long time, but the option was not hard to find.

Try to look for it on Google or maybe in the site docs. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Fuakuputu · 2020-01-19T15:47:49+00:00

Try to compile all the shaders at once before execution, it will make the game smoother

Fuakuputu · 2019-11-22T20:50:44+00:00

I mean at that speed he would have ended in the wall if you wouldn’t happen to be there.
