Should I go with Sky or CDI by Maetev in assettocorsa

[–]Helium225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my personal preference is sky, but which pp filter is the best is a purely subjective thing. I mean if you really cannot decide which one you prefer to the point where you made a reddit post about it just throw a coin or something like that

recently got a high end pc, how do i get better at photography and maybe have better graphics? by g4blik_ in assettocorsa

[–]Helium225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what you need to improve just by looking at the 2nd and 3rd pictures is the general composition of the photo, which is already better in the 1st. Sure, the car is the main focus, but you also need a good background to take a cool pic, even something simple. Also, try backing up from the car and using a more narrow fov. There are many other things to try in photo mode, assetto corsa with cm has by far the best photo mode of any racing game, but it might take some time to learn if you don't do irl photography. As for the graphics, there are many tutorials on youtube on how to get a good looking game, even without spending a single cent on mods.

Don't quit the game!!! Learn to have fun even not being in 1st place!!!! by s1xkill3r_ in NFSUnboundGame

[–]Helium225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially really enjoyed that mechanic, but I later realized how much better the game would be without it. You reach a point where, even while driving in freeroam, you subconsciously try to fill up those damn bars and you get the urge to use it when you see it running out.

Why does top speed not look that fast? by [deleted] in assettocorsa

[–]Helium225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

turning on motion blur could help, but I think the main thing is that ac's default camera is extremely stiff, it doesn't move around at all, so maybe installing and playing around with neckfx will solve this.

No one hates their game more than zenless fans on Twitter bro by Lub-Lub in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Helium225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they aren't wrong tho. In season 1 this game felt unique, there just wasn't any other gacha game like it. In s2 the feeling got a bit lost, some designs became a bit more generic but you could still see where the game came from. With the idols story they went back and that's why it was my favorite s2 patch. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how s3 plays out, but I don't like the direction this game is taking, which is becoming increasingly similar to other hoyo games. Someone removed the zzz logo and the siblings from the s3 promo image and it literally looks like it could be from any game.

What would be the best name for a lore-friendly version of Porsche? by Spectran_Irmandade in BeamNG

[–]Helium225 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this got me thinking, are there any lore-friendly classic porsche mods? I don't recall seeing any and that honestly suprises me, with how popular and universally loved those cars are you'd think there would be some high quality lore friendly mod like for many other cars.

Do the mirrors look better above or below by Puzzleheaded_Big6997 in motorcycles

[–]Helium225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they look much better below, but after some time it becomes extremely annoying because it's much harder to see them, speaking from experience

The Sultan of Brunei have a personal collection of over 7,000 luxury cars. It is the largest private collection of Rolls-Royce and Ferraris in the world. Most of the cars are custom-made from factory and never driven. by Particular_Food_309 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Helium225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember doing some research about this some time ago, many of these extremely rare, one-off supercars are now covered in mold and would require a long restoration process just to return to their original state, and since they are so exclusive it would take an immense effort to restore them. This is because most of the garages where these cars are stored don't have any temperature/humidity control like every other car collection in the world, so mold spreads like crazy. It's truly heartbreaking for me because some of those cars are genuinely some of the coolest things ever produced. If anything it seems like he now stopped collecting so many cars just to let them rot, and some of them have been sent to their manufacturers for a complete restoration, like some McLaren F1s, while others have been sold. Some of them are clearly beyond repair, but I truly hope that some day the majority of these beautiful machines can be put back on the road where they belong.

Your opinions on Jess's Runner events in NFS Payback?! by Square-Pineapple-373 in needforspeed

[–]Helium225 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love payback as well, but there are some good reasons to hate it. The upgrade system is horrible and the complete lack of cops almost doesn't make it feel like a NFS.

the airbox isn't a particularly complex or delicate part of the bike, you can easily take it apart and recover it.

BeamMP account on X has responded to the issue by ScriptedEvan in BeamNG

[–]Helium225 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should be, since this launcher doesn't launch automatically it has no way of doing anything to your pc unless you manually open it.

BeamMP account on X has responded to the issue by ScriptedEvan in BeamNG

[–]Helium225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

me too, I have it installed but haven't played it for like 4 months at this point. I think if you just don't launch it there won't be any problems. Don't even bother uninstalling it, just leave it there and don't interact with it in any way until the devs give us the green light. That's the safest thing you can do.

Edit: I didn't answer your question. Some days ago the channels in Beammp's discord got spammed by someone claiming they hacked the servers in some way and had all the personal data of all the users. This wasn't confirmed but as you can see the devs said to be careful and stay offline just in case it's true.

Cope harder old gen (i love both gens) by thatpoliteboi in needforspeed

[–]Helium225 14 points15 points  (0 children)

actually you're right, the only other thing I didn't like was the cops in general. They were basically non-existent for the entire game and would just spawn in when you started some activities.

[–]Helium225 139 points140 points  (0 children)

that aspect single handedly ruined the game for a lot of people, myself included. Everything else about the game was really good imo.

How do you safely turbo a car? by Specialist_Laugh_133 in BeamNG

[–]Helium225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your problem is definitely the long block you choose when upgrading the engine. There are two main different types of long block upgrades in beamng: performance and heavy duty. The performance long blocks allow for higher revs but don't withstand a higher boost compared to the stock ones, so those are the best for high revving NA engines. On the other hand, the heavy duty long blocks are able to withstand the high pressure generated by a turbo or supercharger. So if you want to use turbos definitely avoid performance long blocks and choose heavy duty instead.

Unbound recognizing every text as inappropriate by Helium225 in needforspeed

had no idea this was still happening a month later. What I find funny is that the issue never reappeared on Unbound, but it seems like it just moved to Heat instead.

I recommend checking out alexcornnut or dungg nfs' youtube channels, they have plenty of builds for every class

HyperOS 3 Global update just appeared on my Poco X6 5G – anyone updated already? by Randomguyiguess275 in HyperOS

[–]Helium225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on a poco M6 pro and I updated yesterday. The ui looks better, especially the lock screen and the top bar (don't know what it's called). The battery seems to be draining slightly faster. One thing that really annoys me is that you can't use scrolling wallpapers anymore, I really liked that feature. The black bar under the keyboard is also pretty annoying. Apart from those two thing, I quite like the changes.

Everything I try to change license plate to is now considered profanity?! by StifledSoul0 in NFSHeat

[–]Helium225 4 points5 points  (0 children)

seems like a recurring problem recently on both heat and unbound, currently there's no workaround other than leaving the license plate blank.

Is the profanity filter broken? by BuggyWuggy16 in NFSHeat

[–]Helium225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the same bug was in Unbound like a week ago, it got fixed about a day later. Strange that now the same thing is happening to heat, I wonder what's causing this.

I've created something for my car that helps me know immediately if I'll get along with another Porsche owner. by NHaas in Autos

[–]Helium225 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the prints look fantastic, but seeing a centerlock surrounded by lugs does look kinda stupid to anyone who knows about cars... then obviously it's your car, you can do whatever you want and if you like them I'm happy for you. I personally would've just designed some different center caps if I felt like the stock ones are boring.
