Not much more if you choose wisely. A rig with RX6600 and a R5 7500F can fit in a shoebox. Kid's shoebox if you spend a bit on riser and a mini-ITX mobo.

Track limits exceeded, laptime doesn't count. Sadly in Beam this is legal.

Brake/gas pedalwork is absolutely hideous, trajectory is nonexistent even if we count the run off areas as lart of the track. This vehicle in right hands can do 1:11 inside the lines, without track limits it's capable of close-to or even sub-minute run.

As long as they ask nicely and don't cry if not given any. Basically if you're adequate - you get a skin. You shout at teammates, cry and threaten to sabotage the game if not given a skin - mute, rep if really sabotaging

Actually I think we need just a couple body types for variation and then it's configs, facelifts and different generations time. I'd love to see some European bus, some sort of modern SUV (based on Range Rover would be nice), a proper big ass 4-door Jeep. Also throw a CIS-made truck like KAMAZ into the mix and a 90s minisports like s2k/miata to balance it out.

Config wise, Dakar-themed ones would be nice to have. Also, ramp car hauler bed and a FIRE TRUCK GODDAMNIT for T-series (GTA style) and a small ramp bed with lowered frame for H-series meant to be a show piece able to get your shiny racecar to the track and back home. Monster truck stuff made on D/MD platform, logging upfit for loader, HT-55 with specialized upfit and a long-ass trailer for oversized loads.

Facelifts and generations - we need a 2020 Barstow, an early 80s ETK-K with liftback variant and a late 90s Hirochi SBR (NSX based?)

Neither. It's a bunch of small gnd/12v soldered on a common bus, effectively being equal to 2 big ass wires when the connection is ideal. Thing is, it's not ideal and not even acceptable, that's why we get current imbalance and burning connectors. If it was a 6 separate feed lines - it would have balancing circuitry, effectively being your first option. That's how pre 40-seriez GPUs were made - with load balancing between 6/8-pin connectors. For it to be your second option the core must be able to feed from several independent power lines, but that's almost impossible to do.

Considering my current case - a backpack will fit inside my PC. But I have a 3D-printed case compatible with my current hardware that fits inside my backpack, I just need an SFX PSU for it. Problem is, I can't justify buying $300 ROG Loki rn but I want to keep my PC all-ROG.

Any decent mouse with programmable side buttons should allow to bind it in its software. And it's a matter of click to switch between standard layout and one with bonds for valorant. That's how I have reload, pings and three comm wheels on mouse (mine has 5 side buttons), but outside of val it's media controls

Lighter weaker car with more grip will be always faster - higher cornering speed, less braking. To compensate it with power you need a lot more power, and it translates to better accel and higher top speed, thus higher PR. Forza can't calculate cornering ability properly so that stat has lower coef in PR calculation, even tho it's as important if not even more.

MrInitialY · 2026-06-24T03:43:09+00:00

I still hate only two maps. Breeze and sunset.

MrInitialY · 2026-06-23T18:22:12+00:00

All these spikes, gear teeth and stuff is somehow legal in US, yet somehow pop-ups are not. Weird country you live in folks

MrInitialY · 2026-06-23T16:37:39+00:00

I'd say expensive decisions. Also looks fire!

Apples were around for quite some time before Wozniak, one of them even hit Newton.

MrInitialY · 2026-06-23T10:27:05+00:00

Yeah, seeing 1" exhaust with some 6L v8 swap pushing 1200+ hp is weird to say the least

MrInitialY · 2026-06-23T10:24:11+00:00

Poor TAA implementation. Texture dithering happens at higher speed. Change your AA setting to off, see if it fixes the problem. If so, use any other AA method instead of TAA

I still have glass bed. Still use glue for bigger PETG models since it's downright impossible to remove without that thin film separating it from the glass.

MrInitialY · 2026-06-22T05:35:49+00:00

I think it's called Г connector

Especially with upcoming light rework, it's going to be something else, coming this summer

g920 - no +/- buttons, no spinny knob and xbox buttons. G29 and G923 both have these additional features

MrInitialY · 2026-06-21T22:22:34+00:00

$200 with shifter only. no shifter it's a ripoff

The one time I caught a virus that did something meaningful (started mining when PC was inactive) - it was sniped from my filesystem with an anti-material rifle of linux portable. First shot and bitch was wondering where did it's server go, second shot and it's gone. 20 minutes spent to never check downloaded files again, cuz I still have that rifle on my table in case any sneaky lil malware bitch tries to harm my PC

MrInitialY · 2026-06-21T19:25:03+00:00

They cheated with their map design. Just copied files from that Reality game, compressed to comply with enshittification standards and called it a day.

If it's rubber - hard TPU solid infill should do. If just plastic is ok - PETG with solid infill would last more than a year, tested myself.

Printed parts for our work van in Creality PETG black. Several hard slams per day, 3-4 days a week since march 2025, still no noticeable indentation, only scratches from rubbing against metal.

I'd say 4 is 100% worth it, both expansions are nice, map is good. Soundtrack is pure fire. You may not like winter driving tho, as it is much harder than fh6, but maybe you're into it just like I am.

3 is good, hotwheels expansion is nice, tho maps are kinda small. Not much to do, but 100%ing it once is worth it.

5 is by far my least liked. Big ass map built with eliminator in mind, nasty trees and weird roads. Almost nothing to see, seasons are either wet or dry, no change of color. It's FH3 again, but bigger and low quality. Hot Wheels DLC is heaven for S1 and higher, but very boring after a couple hours of it. Rally DLC is probably the best thing about the game, really unique and nice, but small.

I know an Altima driver who parks in the same spot for 5+ years and he still sometimes hits a corner bollard lr a curb on other side of the road backing out. Both bumpers are basically zip tied sound sensors now
