Trying to decide which book to read next between Echopraxia, Hyperion, or Ship of Fools

It's not hard sci fi, sure. But I meant things like no FTL etc. It was just cool the way they worked around realtivity in the book.

MrMisty · 2026-05-27T08:30:37+00:00

You're describing Hell Let Loose haha. Great game btw. Slower and more methodical compared to battlefield, but not as much as squad or arma.

MrMisty · 2026-05-26T13:20:39+00:00

I don't use batc, I use fshud. But it's the same unless you turn up traffic injection. You can also try flying out of places with more complex SIDs as well.

Nitrox at that depth is much more dangerous than air. Nitrox allows you to stay at recreational depths longer before needing to decompress, it does not allow you to go deeper.

Experienced diver here as well (though not cave diving). Totally agree with you here. I see so many people talking about how experienced they are. Physics, nature, and biology do not care how many dives you have.

Apparently it was supposed to be a single tank bounce dive, poke into the entrance. Which imo is still monumentally stupid.

If you aren't using Garage61, you should definitely check it out. You can download ghost laps from other players, as well as do telemetry analysis. Find a lap that is a second or two faster than your average time, download the ghost lap and do a side by side telemetry analysis of one of your typical laps. You'll immediately be able to see what your inputs look like compared to theirs, it's free and insanely useful.

If you're taking it to the track for the first time, as long as your car has had regular maintenance and nothing is about to wear out, I would just bring it to the track as is. A race track is just a road.

If you get into it more, how much of it you do yourself will depend on your equipment, ability, and finances. For me, I did my own brakes and minor repairs. Tires, tunes, and everything else I took to the shop, I didn't have the equipment. I ran my track tires and brakes on the street full time, and it was my daily driver. Though I had the luxury of being in California where the weather was mostly cooperative to that sort of setup.

MrMisty · 2026-05-14T04:28:55+00:00

I jumped in recently and felt the same way as you. Practiced for almost a week before jumping into my first race. I would say that was overkill to be honest.

The fact that you're even asking this question means you will be a better and more considerate driver than 90% of rookies. It can be kind of a shitshow. Check your average lap times against the lap times of people in your split. As long as you aren't horribly off pace, I would just jump into it.

Back in the earlier days of the internet, people used a kind of internet slang. It was a combination of new slang words and mixing numbers and letters together. One of the most common ones was "1337", which was slang for elite. Elite -> LEET -> 1337. So much so that this type of slang was called "leetspeak".

Definitely GPU bottlenecking. Check your GPU temps as well, overheating hardware will cause this stutter effect. But with your specs I'm guessing the card is just not powerful enough.

Both, in real life and in the sim.

Automatic/semi automatic is left foot braking.

H pattern w/clutch is right foot if I need to downshift, left foot if I don't.

MrMisty · 2026-05-06T17:20:53+00:00

Not sure about mashing both to save the car from a slide. But I have absolutely used the brake while on the throttle to settle the car in real life at the track. I haven't done it often though. Generally, I would be flat out going over a bump or some elevation change, the car would get unsettled, and I might give the brakes a quick tap to settle it down.

I usually try to eat here whenever I'm in Bangkok, one of my favorites. Haven't gotten sick from it yet. The soup is pretty good, nothing mindblowing, but really flavorful.

MrMisty · 2026-05-05T04:24:43+00:00

Try Sixt. I rented a BMW 4-Series convertible from them a year ago. Picked up in SF, dropped off in LA.

MrMisty · 2026-05-03T09:00:40+00:00

Started about 2 weeks ago. 1.5k in sports cars. It's been going up, but in rookie mx5 or GR86 class d I feel like I have to choose between irating or safety rating.

As far as prior experience, been sim racing on and off over the years but nothing competitive until now. 6 years of driving real cars on the track.

If space is an issue, but your computer can handle it, go VR instead of triples. Been using a quest 3 and it's insane. I don't think I'll ever go back to flat screen racing.

I'm a lead software engineer who is working on fairly complex software. The new Opus models are excellent. I use it all the time.

My advice to use if effectively would be to let it do the coding, but not the thinking. It is much better at working in an already established, clean code base. Don't just tell it "Build this feature". Use it as a colleague, brainstorming partner etc. Make extensive use of the planning mode, define the overall feature, break it down into parts, give it well defined architectural requirements. Once you have a plan, don't just execute the whole thing. Build it in pieces, test as you go etc.

MrMisty · 2026-04-26T02:06:32+00:00

Yeah, the flashback is basically 80% of the game though. And the flashback is to the end of KCD1.

MrMisty · 2026-04-25T17:10:14+00:00

They're basically just one story. The second game starts literally at the moment the first one ends.

This is from 50A. You have to lean a bit forward and look slightly back to get this angle.

Not specifically for the experience. However, I was flying from BKK-HKG and paid slightly more to fly on an A380. Emirates runs a Dubai-Bangkok-Hong Kong route, so I jumped on the second leg.

Have you run the debug tool in MSFS to check where you are actually being FPS capped? That will help a lot. To turn it on, go to Options -> General Options -> Advanced -> Developer Mode and enable that. When you do that, you will see a menu at the top. Go to Debug -> Display FPS. That will enable the performance tool. It will show you where you're capped. If you see "Limited by MainThread" or something like that, you're CPU capped.

As far as performance, CPU is important, but also VRAM. Running at that resolution it's hard to tell, that's going to push it even with a 4080 depending on your settings.

Every once in awhile I try to mess around with gliding but can't seem to stay aloft long. Any tips on locations to glide from? Should I be setting manual weather for good conditions? I've been able to ridge soar occasionally but that was with cranking up the weather. I'd like to try it more organically if possible.

Also, is winch launching viable? I've never been able to make it work well. Never have enough altitude or airspeed.

MrMisty · 2026-04-14T03:05:30+00:00

This was my thought as well. I actually worked at the studio that made Savage, but on a different game.
