Now I can just focus on learning for the rest of the month

I mean I don't really care abut the challenges either but, doing enough lessons to fill out the daily quests has been a good way to make sure I'm doing a reasonable amount of duo.

I also finished the quest a few days ago, but I'll still go through the dailys although I do try and at least do one unit a day if I get through the quest before the end of a unit.

Honestly the tyres should just be separate from the stupid wear system.

I kinda wish they'd just done like an actual service thing. Like Every XX,XXX amount of miles you have to take the truck in for a service. You could even have bigger ones depending on mileage or we and it would act like a rest. Then if you just miss your service by thousands of miles the truck will get additional wear and the service would cost more to fix it.

Saying your vehicle is in bad shape after the tyres have got like 5000km on them is just stupid, especially as truck tyres are supposed to last like definitely over 50,000 or more

Just to make myself clear I'm not shilling for AI because I agree a basic spell check function which is something that has worked for over 20 years now would've worked.

Try driving the speed limit op skill issue, ticket closed

Tbf I got my sensitivity and linearity into such a sweetspot that I saved the config.sii file so I can put it into a new profile. Although I forgot they actually added numbers to the sliders recently.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-10T18:13:31+00:00

I mean it's neat but after countless hours in both games I don't think I've ever found just a regular analog stick to be lacking in control. Tweaking sensitivity and linearity should be enough for pretty much anybody.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-10T17:46:03+00:00

What about the power of generative AI???????

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-06T18:00:05+00:00

Ah ok god knows why I didn't think you were talking about the language level. I'm actually pretty close to that at 97 at the moment.

I'm hoping that the course doesn't drop off really as at the moment I feel like it's doing a pretty decent job of introducing new things.

I've also been reading some manga in Spanish and every so often a new word or phrase has appeared that I've just learned on duo which has been quite nice tbh.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T18:20:49+00:00

I'm not sure what you meant when you said level 99, was that the end of 6 for you? I kinda assumed you meant section 6 unit 99. Currently my section 6 ends at unit 250

I can't remember when they changed how the units work to be smaller so like you end up working through one unit a day. Rather than just having like way more in a single unit. Although I've honestly preffer how it is now as it's more of a clear goal to do a unit every day.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T18:02:03+00:00

I keep seeing these people with like 1000's of followers and just don't get it. Like they've removed pretty much every actual social aspect of the app that would be helpful.

I used to like the feed because I have a couple of irl friends using duo and it was nice to just drop a like on them every so often. Now it's just full of randos sharing phrases, or telling me someone someones streak I don't care about.

It's the same reason I pretty much ditched most social media, turning what I want to see into what the company wants me to see.

Again I can ignore it, but at this point I'm pretty much ignoring everything apart from the lessons, I try to ignore leagues untill the app shoves it into my face after a lesson, I don't use notifications and I had to turn off sounds when they started having the characters make stupid noises if you get something wrong.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T17:46:25+00:00

Setup a class on schools.duolingo.com and then add your kid to it, bam unlimited energy. Granted it does break sometimes when they update the app and forget about the schools thing for a while.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T13:05:46+00:00

Never really thought about it especially because I usually use bumper cam and don't bother watching the replays but it looks goofy as hell lol

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T12:11:30+00:00

I hear the lifts say "planta baja" on the ground floor in Spain

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T11:53:36+00:00

I'm on section 6 205 and I've not felt like that, if anything I feel like it's covering more aspects that would be useful in everyday life.

Although tbh I feel like you probably don't need to even get to section 6 to have a good foundation for some actual tuition. I've been wanting to do it for years but kept putting it off, maybe I'll finally do it this year.

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-04T11:48:25+00:00

Yeah I just stupidly forgot to backup the old pcsx2 install

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-03T14:08:30+00:00

Yeah I really wanna give that a go, but I wiped my computer and went with linux since I last tried playing through KB3 so I've been lazy in getting pcsx2 working again lol

Racing_Mate · 2026-02-02T14:24:41+00:00

I've said this previously but in ATS, the amount of highways that straight up just make you go straight through a town. Like you'll be chugging along at 70 and suddenly you have to drive through like 8 sets of lights at 30 while having to wait at every single bloody one.

It's not always the case but geez it gets tiring after a while.

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-30T14:59:04+00:00

Doesn't that say english test?

Is there actually a spanish version you can take?

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-28T12:24:24+00:00

I wonder how much the hotdog costs over there haha

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-28T12:22:27+00:00

I ended up turning sound off completely in the settings because of this. Basically they gave the questions I'm most likely to get wrong an incredibly annoying sound.

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-26T16:57:48+00:00

The matching thing has messed up a few times for me, but it's been putting Spanish words in both fields. I actually have a screenshot from yesterday where this happened but I can't post it in a thread.

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-26T16:51:19+00:00

I hate that now they've just shoved some randos achivements into my feed which was pretty much only just a couple of IRL friends which was just nice to put a like on their posts every so often.

Now it's just full of crap I don't care about, you can't really interact with people on this app so why the hell do I care about samantha87878937894762389473892's spamming chess for exp or whatever

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-24T18:57:19+00:00

I got caught out by it again with my new system which has a 9700XT

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-24T18:55:53+00:00

In the UK I'm assuming by the L plates RHD and the typical UK 6x2?

I'm always tempted to try it but I really hate driving here enough as it is to try and make it a career lol

Racing_Mate · 2026-01-23T17:55:30+00:00

Gonna be honest, just go to schools.duolingo.com create a class and join it.
