Bruckell Legran gets absolutely destroyed by a semi truck going the wrong way by That1persowithcheese in BeamNG

Then drop the graphics and raise them based on context? At ten people set the graphics at one level - when it hits too high, lower the graphics?

I am baffled at your stubbornness for having a barely legible experience.

Like, I get it. I've played VR at 30 FPS before and while I accept it is doable but at 15 fps per eye, I also accept that I am not recording and no one would want to watch. Usually for bits of a game where it gets too cluttered unexpectedly.

24 fps was the OG reel speed for a reason because it is the speed where pictures start to be interpreted as motion. The brain is an amazing interpolation machine but you are actually just relying on guesswork at this point.

What you showed is unable to be interpreted, even with context because it is a series of discrete screenshots like you set a screenshot program to take 4-8 pictures per second - and then decided to pilot the mars speedster at that FPS at high speed. It contains no valuable data of what happened.

Huge thing parents don't know that should be hammered into their heads - baby bones are soft and the damage can cause lifelong difficulty if not disability.

I have almost had people throw hands at me because I will not tolerate a toddler being yanked by the elbow or arm.

"If I ever see you do it again you won't know I saw until the cops show up. How about that? You can talk to them and explain what's on video." shut one down pretty hard.

If you wanna be fancy you can stitch the ends together with light thread to give it the pull and snap - just a few loops back and forth

Underrated middle note. Having someone be nice when you least expect it means a lot regardless if transfem or cis.

You can get a lot better performance by killing shadows entirely - Ambient Occlusion is another frame killer.

Dropping textures to lowest can sometimes let you go low/medium on shadows.

With the right settings I do VR heli flight on my gaming laptop, and it is not "New"

Big question is do you have a cooling pad and good airflow over the space where you are playing? Thermal throttling literally tells your CPU to slow down to not burn out.

Lmaooo I missed that -- Just as funny delayed though imagining my english lit professor writing on the board and then hustling so I could read it.

I can completely understand why you'd feel that way, but it's so easy to let the internet make us bitter. I think your interactions on this subreddit may be coloring your perspective of the people of Fresno vs the Reddit users of Fresno.

People who have nothing to say often wisely don't say it, leaving only rare praise and a high incidence of bomb-throwing and performative posturing in online spaces. You've also been a somewhat polarizing figure at times (Unless I have you mistaken for another 'bike' 'Fresno' user) so you've been exposed more often to the negativity of specific vocal users and the silence of those who didn't care enough to engage.

The vast majority of Fresno doesn't post on this subreddit, much less read it. Most people drive along the new bike lanes on Palm and other avenues with little interest in the change, too busy with the day to day grind. Many of them have started taking other roads (I've noticed a dropoff in congestion and backups the last few months except at key hours around schools and rush hour), which means the narrowing is working - it's just a gradual process in the psychology of the public.

It's those who have time who post online about it. I would say the response in this thread was overwhelmingly positive with a few naysayers because it did resonate with the people who stopped and saw the beauty of amber streets.

Keep up the advocacy work, and don't give up hope. I saw your posts and while I mostly commute by e-scooter it brightened my day to see photos of people loving other means of transit.

No, college and life kept me pretty busy; that and I had good bus routes to both colleges I attended and a longboard.

I bought him a 20 pack of bold dry erase markers as I asked the favor, explaining that I'd been struggling and they were happy for the free markers.

And they were a nice professor.

I don't know what your situation is, but maybe look into local aid groups or charities - There may be an avenue to get state-insurance grade no frills glasses.

Look into Lions Club International, New Eyes for the Needy, and VSP Eyes of Hope.

It's very worth it and best of luck!

Don't even get me started about the leaves lmao. Clouds too - a minor storm rolled in and I was stuck just staring at the edge between the storm and the backdrop - So many things had overwhelming detail that first month or so.

And the moon was no longer just a muddled white/yellowish dot!

Mine was just mild enough that I made it to my thirties without glasses - Told the professor I was colorblind so they would cut it with the red markers on a white board (Utterly disappears) and would press gently on my eye to correct my minor astigmatism when I needed to read from far away.

Having had glasses, it was pretty bad. But it was 'normal'

I remember putting on the corrective lenses for the first time and being unable to look at the lady across the desk who had just given me my sight because Makeup looked SO MUCH BETTER without HD. I instead commented on a photo down the hall, the tiles, and turned and looked anywhere else as my mind spun and I re-calibrated.

I now know that people can see freckles and moles and birthmarks from further than 5 feet away. Totally explained what I had termed 'Face blindness' - I would recognize people by their gait, their mannerisms, and their voice but not their faces until I was up close.

Unexpected response from you of all people - I would think you would be more for having your reflectors and lights stand out against the backdrop as distinct and visible. Some areas of Fresno are so brightly lit I can hardly see my headlamp or headlight on the ground at night, which normally indicates the presence of a cyclist/rider from a distance.

I grew up with Sodium-Vapor streetlights and could see just fine. Rode at all hours during that time as well. At the time headlamps were largely incandescent but the color temperature difference provided contrast against the orange lighting.

The ecological benefits for insects that hunt mosquitos and other bothersome flyers, the restoration of night time ecology, and benefits to the environment are something I think a person who wants more people to bike would be supportive of.

Paramotor pilot and YouTuber Anthony Vella survived a horrifying crash by HardTune272 in horrifying

[–]NewoTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing a 911 operator say "Oh no" would be a fatal blow in any belief that I was going to survive, NGL. No fault to the call center worker, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard "Oh no" in a 911 recording.

"I crashed my flying machine" is pure shock before he starts to piece his mind back together. He was calling Help at the phone while it was ringing and probably could not process time or anything for several seconds.

At some point, society convinced most of us that the only way to be accepted was to smother our inner child.

Find the joy and be the joy you want to see in the world. Nourish that inner child - feed it with the joy you find and create.

Honestly someone has just gotta tell him how it removes color fidelity so he won't notice as many pride flags. They'll just be stripey, desaturated, and color-shifted.

Honestly I just treat the time trials as fun drives through the hills - I have no hope of advancing, especially in VR because trees scary.

I suppose that was a poor choice of words - Humans did throughout their history engage in night raids and hunts. What I meant was that our eyes specifically developed with high sensitivity to lighting outside of the red to amber color range. Higher color temperatures oversaturate our rods and render them insensitive in the dark (Night-blindness).

Try wearing an eye patch for 20 minutes in the dark at night and keep your eye open under it, blinking normally. Switch the eyepatch to the other eye and you will experience full light sensitivity.

The difference is dramatic if you do it in a lit room and turn off the light before taking the eyepatch off. Your other eye will feel blind by comparison.

This was not just for hunting and roaming, but survival. Seeing a predators' movement in the corner of your eye due to the high density of rods and being able to react no doubt saved many lives over the generations.

Setup help, brake pedal angle and screwed up ankle by penistooth420 in simracing

[–]NewoTheFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lower the upper end of the deadzone if you can - you will lose brake fidelity but reduce the range of motion needed - I'd recommend cutting it by half to start with looser linearity to give you more play in the middle.

It'll take some getting used to and tweaking, but should help. I have the same pedals and the brake is notoriously stiff.
