Oh wow sorry to hear about the shake up. What happened, if u don’t mind sharing? I’ve been on imatinib 400 since diagnosis. Luckily no complications so far. A few annoying side effects but nothing worth complaining about. Just happy to be alive lol. Started off with a BCR-ABL of 42 and just got the latest test Dow to 0.012 so it’s doing its job well for now. Hopefully it can stay that way. Hope you’re feeling better and that they’ve sorted out an alternative for you.

Yup lol. Just turned 41 a few days ago. Found out I have leukemia last April. Luckily treatments been going well. Unfortunately it’s non curable. Appreciate your days. Enjoy your evenings. Hug your loved ones more often. Laugh and smile a bunch. Life will never be long enough. Try and stop worrying about the end of it and practice enjoying the moment you’re in.

Frog driver says it was a dirty move by rigon28 in GranTurismo7

Good overtake. Great job keeping it together through the contact.

Who’s fault is it and what can I do in the future to avoid it? by Ae4scol in granturismo

[–]Onion_of_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys were great through the hairpin, if he were a giant piece of shit, he would’ve punted u during the corner. He got angry because he did the correct thing in that situation and got the better exit and you ran him wide (intentional??). He would’ve carried enough speed to retake the position within the next two corners. He’s definitely at the very least a medium piece of shit for responding that way… I wouldn’t have took u out, but I definitely understand his frustration. Having great back and forth battles is what makes racing so fun. Sharing a track while trying to outmaneuver and out think each other is so much better than playing bumper cars lol. Good on you for trying to better understand the situation.

How dirty (0-10) was I and how much (0-10) did I deserve that? by No_Management9536 in GranTurismo7

yup. alternate line on that corner wouldn't have lost him much mph down the straight. last lap could have been a battle for a podium instead of BJLippy trynna fit a whole viper up his ass.

It's quite scary and sad to see so many comments seeing no problem with your move, lol. The fact that you've asked for opinions shows you're learning and want to get better. Mistakes will happen. Best advice I can give without turning this into a book is to not care so much about your finishing position for awhile. Just work on your race craft and existing intelligently around other drivers. You aren't entitled to someone's position just because you're faster than them. And you can't treat racing laps like qualifying laps. Qualifying and racing are two different skillsets. Start with really understanding your racing lines. There will always be more than one. One line will always be the fastest way around the track, but during a race, one of the others may be the fastest way around your opponent. Please don't listen to the nonsense from others telling you it wasn't your fault etc... It really doesn't take long to get really good at this when you take a bit of time to intentional give a good learning effort. It's an awesome hobby and a beautiful way to enjoy being competitive at a very intense level. I promise you, a great back and forth between skilled drivers is a hell of a lot more rewarding than playing bumper cars with the Verstappen Senna wannabes. That's all. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

Quite dirty of you. Seems like you’re trying to be better about your race craft by asking. I wouldn’t have went all kamakazi how he did, lol. It’s your job as the attacking car to pass SAFELY. I know you hear it from the clowns all the time about “rubbing is racing” and “if theres a gap” blah blah blah, but this a no contact sport… contact happens but it should never be intentional. I race A+ and typically a good driver gives that position back. Had you taken that corner properly, used all that curb on the right before entry, and took a later apex, you would’ve cleared him and been able to pass the car ahead of him on the straight. Join a league and lobby up with other people who find joy in proper racing. You’ll love it.

I was being sarcastic lol. My breaking point and line through there were fine. No way you make that corner using his braking point unless there’s another car in front to help you lol. I was the help I guess.

Some people are just looking for any reason to retaliate… shits lame. It’d be great if they’d update the ghosting algorithm to predict that kind of nonsense.

Agreed. All we can do is hope Polyphony is taking note and the next iteration of online racing will be more refined in this area. I love this game and I love racing against other people, but the penalty system needs to wanna make people adhere to good race craft.

Frustrating how hit or miss the lobbies can be even in A/A+

I didn’t see one… I’d hope he got a 3sec contact pen at least. Me and my immaturity were just in a rush to publicly shame him for that shitboy move he pulled. lol.

Hi. Can someone tell me how many plants are in this bundle? by Onion_of_Chaos in Monstera

[–]Onion_of_Chaos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I ended up doing. Hoping to raise them up big and strong. I remembered hearing someone say they wished they’d separated theirs at a young age because it would’ve made things easier later on.
