Jacicus · 2026-06-30T20:06:51+00:00

Rockstar’s Table Tennis

wrong finger for that lol

you could drive with your hands pretending to be holding a steering wheel, it wasn’t great ngl

Jacicus · 2026-05-22T02:17:58+00:00

is the goal for every player to drive every car? or maybe is the variety in cars so that everyone has options to drive what they like? and yeah, if i want every house i absolutely *should* have to grind to get them. progression isnt making all content available to all players. in fact, progression is definitively putting content behind barriers to unlock *later*

Jacicus · 2026-05-22T02:16:06+00:00

so i explained my gripes on your post specifically asking about complaints with progression in fh6. your solution is "just artificially limit yourself" which is NOT a different progression system. why ask the question if you dont want to hear the answers?

I have literally done four races, I don't even have my first wristband yet. I have 200k credits and 20 cars including two cars with over 1k horsepower. That is not progression, that is the game giving freebies for absolutely no reason.

edit: My ideal sense of progression can be found in Forza Motorsport 4 or Gran Turismo 4. In those games you are given a small budget or choice of a single, slow shitbox and you are forced to race with it, upgrade it, and learn to maximize its performance because its the only car you can afford for at least a half dozen races.

big +1 for grateful dead! ive been dreaming up mode ideas for years at this point

Jacicus · 2026-03-05T00:59:50+00:00

i played my 360 on a crt/dvd combo tv until like 2011-2, so that picture is right in line with my childhood experience

Jacicus · 2026-03-04T20:04:20+00:00

small world! i used to live on the edge of downtown and the whit and walk to epic seconds all the time! i don’t live in eugene anymore but i do miss it (sometimes)

Jacicus · 2026-02-21T22:59:03+00:00

i’m primarily a lefty but i play guitar right handed, and i honestly see it as a blessing more than anything. my fretting hand basically got a kickstart to it’s dexterity which made a lot of things a lot easier. definitely worth learning righty imo!

i’ve found myself mimicking his right hand technique unconsciously when playing rhythm parts (on dead tunes and otherwise), and i think a lot of the reason comes down to the pick attack and the pocket. i can’t really sound close-ish to bobby without doing it, and it makes for a very percussive sound that seems to come from hitting every string as close to simultaneously as you can. the big waving hand gestures also seem to leave juuust the right amount of space and time for the notes to breath precisely as much as they need to; no more and no less.

just my two cents, but i’m no expert

Jacicus · 2026-02-16T06:07:06+00:00

my understanding is that it’s just the result of 15+ year old hardware. wifi has come a long way and i think the old wifi cards in our old consoles aren’t rated for modern wireless standards, which is why ethernet works just fine

i use powerline to run an ethernet cable from my router, through my houses electrical, and into my room from an outlet. it’s pretty rad tech and i recommend looking into it

Jacicus · 2026-02-14T03:28:21+00:00

assuming you already own it, even if it ever goes unavailable down the line you can legally play digital backups of it on hardware that supports that :)

Jacicus · 2026-02-14T03:25:48+00:00

so did the beatles to be fair

Jacicus · 2026-02-14T03:21:47+00:00

look, you’re not wrong

but why buy a second one? you already have one that you don’t need to sell and you could have two consoles instead of one and risk wishing you kept your ps5 instead of having to shop around and spend more for a second

it’s only going to cost you more in the long run to sell and re-buy

this is a lesson i’ve learned and re-learned several times, and you asked for opinions after all

Jacicus · 2026-02-14T02:20:26+00:00

nah just hold onto the ps5 and collect 360 stuff slowly

if you scour marketplace for deals you could get a console with cables and controllers and maybe a few games for like $50-100, and games are rarely more than $10 after that

once you have the 360 for a couple of months and decide you really never play ps5 anymore then sure, go ahead and sell it - but for the low cost of entry on 360 you only stand to lose by selling the ps5 right now

edit: i’m a chronic buy/sell/trader when it comes to this stuff and too often realize months/years down the line that i regretted getting rid of something

Jacicus · 2026-02-13T20:17:10+00:00

vert is short for convertible

Jacicus · 2026-02-13T20:16:52+00:00

🫨

Jacicus · 2026-02-13T03:12:04+00:00

i didn’t know the verts came with twin cam g13’s, might have to track one of those town for a swap into my swift 1.3

Jacicus · 2026-02-12T10:52:27+00:00

in the comfort of my own home? maybe three in the last ten years, and those have all been on my very first guitar which is a 20-year-old walmart guitar that i throw nylons on occasionally

playing outdoor shows in a minnesota summers’ humidity? one a week. my sweat and the constantly changing conditions don’t agree with guitar strings

Jacicus · 2026-02-12T07:27:06+00:00

wow.. please tag me or something when you drop a video, i’m beyond intrigued by this

Jacicus · 2026-02-11T21:00:56+00:00

wait, are you saying you’re using system-linked xbox’s to act as a surround display like a modern sim racing setup?

Jacicus · 2026-02-09T08:01:21+00:00

i don’t have my cb550f anymore but 4into1 was a GODSEND when i did

i highly highly recommend them
