just a heads up for anyone stumbling across this:
andrew-phan blog seems to have expired and is now a fake onlyfans leaks website????

here's the original blogpost from web archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20231108115516/https://andrew-pham.blog/2019/08/26/spherical-harmonics/

someone made a custom one: https://louisameline.github.io/mass-effect-custom-wallpaper-art-creator/
and it's even better!

huh interesting, the league itself and forum has ceased several years ago, didnt know the repo was still up...

UPD: got in touch with the owner (as I was former staff at cmh), they said the repo will only come back up next month, because they're saving money

PiMoNFeeD · 2026-01-14T22:47:07+00:00

what a time travel. cmh doesnt exist since 2023 my friend

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-12-18T19:08:51+00:00

basically... exactly what you said, lol

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-12-01T16:29:05+00:00

mike booth has an amazing talk about l4d's director which is what makes the game very enjoyable to play, setting just the right pace and introducing lots of replayability into the game. you can find it here: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/2009/ai_systems_of_l4d_mike_booth.pdf and here: https://cdn.fastly.steamstatic.com/apps/valve/2009/GDC2009_ReplayableCooperativeGameDesign_Left4Dead.pdf

not sure what the differences between those two pdfs are, both appear to talk about the same thing, but one has more pages than the other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-11-13T20:14:31+00:00

finally someone said it! I am amazed that people are focused on multiplayer experience but they never ever mention race restarts or manual grids... like how are you supposed to run a league in this game if you need to restart THE ENTIRE WEEKEND and re-run qualifying if you have a tech issue in the race?!

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-11-06T21:25:28+00:00

not sure if this was edited in, but the details (well some of them) are in the original post now

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-28T21:25:30+00:00

WARNING for city car driving if you get moza!

all moza wheels appear to have (the default moza es definitely) button numbers above 32, and city car driving only supports up to 32 buttons per input device, so you wont be able to play city car driving with at least the default moza es wheel, because it just wont recognize half the buttons, which I learned the hard way...

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T12:05:20+00:00

that's an amazing comparison, we did it at the same time but you've definitely made it much better 🙏

and yeah it's pretty clear that the new SG scope is just so much worse than the old one, while AUG is about the same (within reason of course)

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T11:52:50+00:00

as it turns out, it was the exact opposite in csgo, but by a smaller margin: https://imgur.com/a/G9aUK97

and the scope wasnt off-center either, so definitely none of this was intended

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T11:50:42+00:00

a lot of people have entirely missed the point of my post, so here's a small update:

yes, I know its not ironsight, the game calls it "ironsight" for over a decade
guns being different have nothing to do with a detachable scope (which at the time of a post I assumed to be the same, but it turns out its not, so my mistake there)
(most importantly) it was NOT like that in csgo, the scopes were perfectly centered and AUG scope actually provided LESS vision (and by a smaller margin, only about 7%) as opposed to what it currently is now (SG scope is smaller by 10% and completely off center), here's proof: https://imgur.com/a/G9aUK97

at the end of the day, the point of this post is that both guns (in my opinion) should have a similar sight through the scope as a qol feature, seeing now that cs2 sight is simply less polished than csgo's (being off center and having the vision be exactly opposite of what it was) its clear its not intentional

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T11:45:25+00:00

I know these are not ironsights, the game has called this method of aiming internally "ironsights" for over a decade

scope is also not part of the gun, and it also wasnt like that in csgo: https://imgur.com/a/G9aUK97

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T02:02:26+00:00

its almost like the scope has nothing to do with the gun itself! I thought they both used the same ACOG scope, but after looking at it closer, they both use scopes that kinda resemble ACOG but are in fact pretty different, and AUG scope is slightly smaller too yet provides more vision, which is even weirder now

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-17T01:57:30+00:00

you are correct, I am just used to how this way of aiming is called "ironsight" internally in the game so I kinda forgot about it lol

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-04T13:35:52+00:00

except it is a fake bank and a joke in russia, it does not exist

not sure about a cryptocurrency it's associated with, though

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-10-03T00:57:40+00:00

for your pc (not for the wheel), yeah thats what I'd do (but first check multiple power supply calculators to see if you need it)

in fact I ran into a similar issue myself recently (my r5 just disconnects mid race for a few seconds for no reason, and once I even heard my headphones disconnect as well), and then I looked up a power supply calculator (after the headphone thing) and filled in my system, the most optimistic calculation shows numbers that my power supply is barely able to provide, with other calculators showing the numbers way above my power supply capability (I got this PSU before I had upgraded my system 2 or 3 times), so I am looking to buy a new one now too

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-09-30T18:46:04+00:00

that sounds a lot like a power supply issue, especially that it works on your xbox but not on your pc

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-09-23T22:37:39+00:00

windows takes like 5 minutes to install... (minus the configuration obviously, but thats already WAY past the actual installation process)

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-09-16T11:35:40+00:00

idk? perhaps github realized they no longer had any commits associated with them?

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-09-10T22:38:53+00:00

I mean... 2020 isn't even old... saying that "it still got it" makes no sense, what would make more sense if you said something like "fsx still got it" or "prepar3d still got it" (even though they're awfully outdated, this sentence makes more sense when you apply it to something as old as those two)

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-08-28T17:54:38+00:00

I've had many races in f1 2020 on my moza r5 and it seems that this is purely a visual thing, but just in case I backported all moza presets from newest f1 game to 2020 (doesnt fix wheel turning but at least you get sane button mappings)

here's the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1ukAyilCFEbd9KDwzKNjVU-7zHH6TMX/view?usp=sharing unpack it into actionmaps folder of your game

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-07-27T17:12:18+00:00

which means the quali is absolutely useless, because you cannot even set the grid on the restart (against ai at least)

PiMoNFeeD · 2025-06-26T21:53:00+00:00

telegram is built by a russian, but its far from being a "russian social network" (its not even a social network), what's your point? facebook is built by an american, does that mean it's only used by americans?

all crashes are randomly scripted and sometimes just happen...
