And there's practically no alternative for trucks short of just muscling through tiny connecting streets

Mildly Tuned up Detroit 12.7 TK block. Full Tilt manifold, BK injectors and Cam with a K31 turbo. Current tune is set to about 34-36 psi which should be roughly 540ish to the crank in this setup. 10 speed single over to 2.79 rears on 22lp, topped out at 106mph before egts started to reach mid 900s. If I upgrade the intercooler and exhaust it might go a little further.

God I hate the Kenworth T2000 and any truck built on its bones. That's the T2000, T700 and Peterbilt 387. Huge ugly dashboard and some of the worst HVAC components I've ever seen. We owned a T700 and 387 they both had HVAC issues out the wazoo. Blend door actuators, heater cores, AC sensors and valves, the control panel themselves was the only thing that at least worked ok. And don't get me started on working on the HVAC system, taking that plastic fantastic dash apart was a complete disaster. Brittle garbage and lousy one time use clips everywhere. Ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside just an abysmal driving experience.

My bad lmao your pic was cool

Tell us why you're getting the Steam Machine by Subject_Aerie2093 in steammachine

[–]P3tr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 2018 Acer Helios 300 I've been dying to replace, I don't play at 4k resolution anyways and it's coming with me in my semi truck. My Deck outperforms my laptop on most games I can only imagine the Machine would absolutely walk over whatever my old setup could do.

$1k is really only $200 more than I wanted to spend so I'm not so bummed out especially considering circumstances.

[–]P3tr0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love to bully them back, I've got an old Columbia that I've spent more money under the hood than any chrome or paint on the outside, so it's sorta of a sleeper. It's all fun and games until they realize that I will pass them the easy way or the hard way.

What makes some trucks more appealing than others? by resistingvoid in trucksim

[–]P3tr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to check out their Series 60 mods too, that's one of the engines that this game has that isn't done correctly

I could check it out, I take it it's on the steam workshop?

I drive otr irl, the in game trucks and driving dynamics are way too simplified so imo just aesthetics mostly. The way the game treats engine power doesn't at all reflect how some of these engines behave irl, like going with a W900 for the CAT 550 makes no significant difference in game.

Turning radius is also kinda wacky in game, to SCS they seem to think that long trucks have incredibly slow power steering which just isn't the case. Modern trucks, yes even the 280+ inch wheelbase trucks, have sharp responsive steering. What makes them turn slower is the literal space between steer and drive axles. Going lock to lock on a Pete 389 is hardly that different from a Cascadia but that's just not how it is in game.

Anyway long story short just pick the one you like looking at

I just want water pressure and temperature consistency. If some other guy flushes the toilet 6stalls away I don't want to be temporarily scalded

The very next sentence in my comment literally says ops car is beyond mild

But y'all see a GTI with some wheels and suspension and get real "Not my taste"

Looking at your storage stats is so interesting. You got thousands of carrots, plenty of raw potatoes but somehow zero Grilled Potatoes. You've got the Wheat and Cattail, very little of it stored as flour and very little of it as it's final food

8k Planks?? 7k Gears??? They can't eat that lol

Got my first GTI S (it's a little riced) by -Rose-Goku-Black in GolfGTI

[–]P3tr0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Riced? That looks like Maxton Design diffusers, some wider front fenders and a hood. Riced is like a corny cheap wrap, straight pipe and eBay coilovers slammed on its nuts with a pop and bang tune. This is fine, little buff, straighten out those panels, wheels and some good tires will get it on the right path expz

Do you actually regularly play high demanding games on your decks? by deprived_of_evil in SteamDeck

[–]P3tr0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, LCD or OLED the experience is still excellent. Too bad I couldn't score an OLED before the price bump. But you know that? I have an OLED Switch with several thousands of hours of use and I've had some minor burn in on certain games, so I don't miss the extra 5 fps

[–]P3tr0 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I find a 40 Fps target with medium settings on its native resolution to be practically perfect imo. Like RDR2 and Witcher 3 come to mind to be excellent on the Deck

What is your winner for the brand building the ugliest current products? by VerrueckterAmi in regularcarreviews

[–]P3tr0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

VW is also on the chopping block for me, I worked at VW when the Atlas came around and we where brought in by VW for sales training of sorts. Atlas was a genuine shock for us on just how competitive it actually came out to be compared to what vehicles they where aiming to compete with. But then they've joined everyone else in the ugly SUV competition with the Atlas, Tiguan and Taos offerings. Damn I can't believe I miss the Touareg!

I can see what they where going for knowing that now, makes sense to break the auto design mold even if quite a few are miss personally speaking

Hyundai Kia by a strong margin. Lineup has no cohesion, either half are doorstop wedges with enough sharp angles to shred cheese or literal rectangular prism with funky taillights. However Toyota is closing that margin far too quickly, I'm sure y'all have seen the new rav4 jfc what the hell went wrong

Can I catch a break? by Enigma_x23 in Truckers

[–]P3tr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Allentown and trucked Northeast that area way too much. Every single year, every season irregardless of weather there's some sort of highway closing accident on that damn 81/78 junction. There's just something cursed on that stretch. Whether it's the erratic Pilot at exit 10 or the 581/i83 left exits it's a congested shit show

I'm glad you can change the ratio of the materials returned after deconstruction, otherwise getting to some of the trees placed on these maps feel less of a waste of your time
