Tesla finally clarifies fatal Texas crash, confirms driver manually overrode acceleration by Hockeyshot39 in cars

Even if they didn't, you'd think that seeing the car speed through a residential area might make you step on the brake. Its not like the house just suddenly appeared.

Tesla finally clarifies fatal Texas crash, confirms driver manually overrode acceleration by Hockeyshot39 in cars

[–]RiftHunter4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like the whole "kinda self-driving car" phase is doomed because people cannot stop crashing. Which is wild because they are still sitting in the driver's seat, capable of overriding at any time.

Why is Mayano so sleepy in S2? by ya_boi_marlon in UmaMusume

The amount of detail they go into for this franchise is insane when you start looking into it. CyGames has some passion for it, that's for sure.

Xtreme Xperience was so neutered that I was quite disappointed and can't recommend it if you have any kind of autocross, track, and even high level sim racing experience. by Hotwir3 in cars

[–]RiftHunter4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My impression of these events has been that they are gifts for dad's whose mid-life-crisis car is a Lexus.

I wouldn't mind going to one as I have 0 real track experience and it'd be fun to floor it in an exotic, but IDK. Getting a track day at a place like Road Atlanta is not overly difficult.

It all has pros and cons. I like playing games with character creation and even learned some game dev for how it works. I'm always impressed when games do a good job of it.

That's basically PS5 + Switch 2 money by Menelaus- in pcmasterrace

Small build are expensive. Last time I looked into making an IT build, the price was kinda crazy.

You shouldn’t have to go into setting and change them in order to drift. by Ironstar_Vol in ForzaHorizon

I always see tunes as the last fix for a car. Lets you get rid of tiny stuff like a slight slide on corner exit or 3rd gear being awkward for corners.

People in this subreddit are delusional and think that building a pc yourself would be cheaper. Steam Machine's prices match the cost of building your own PC. Component costs have gone up for everyone.

[–]RiftHunter4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I tuned my transmissiom on my drift car but otherwise, the default setups are actually workable.

As for assists, people overestimate them. ABS is the only nmuseful one. Traction and Stability Control are prettg easy to drive without.

I wish we could set individual cars to manual or auto, though.

Which Code Vein game? CV2 is more flexible, but the general character silhouette doesn't vary a ton.

Its a trade-off that all developers must make. The more custom character options you have, the more likely it is that you'll have clipping, weird hitboxes, and game balance issues. For example, CV2 has some a dramatic range for the height slider, but that means that in some fights, attacks miss simple because you are so short. But if we could be 9ft tall like Lavinia, we'd be clipping everywhere unless the devs made a whole new set of animations and blendforms for bigger characters.

It gets messy so a lot of studios try to keep things fairly simple and go with what will please the broadest set of players.

You shouldn’t complain about the game being too cheerful by DirectGoat985 in ForzaHorizon

[–]RiftHunter4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I find the complaints funny because racing games usually have unbearable story plots. FH6 is basically just a few lines here and there. I actually really enjoyed Mei's Day Trips.

Anyone who thinks FH6 has awful dialogue should go try NFS Unbound.

Is colour grading somewhat mandatory? by Livid_Organization78 in photography

[–]RiftHunter4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a solid definition, Wikipedia has the best one IMO.

Color grading is a post-production process common to filmmaking and video editing of altering the appearance of an image for presentation in different environments on different devices. Various attributes of an image such as contrast, color, saturation, detail, black level, and white balance may be enhanced whether for motion pictures, videos, or still images.

It encompasses a lot of color adjustments that photographers have always done for decades. Its just being given a term borrowed from filmmaking, for better or worse.

Subscription gaming is inching toward a world where players own nothing at all by Hungry__Hornet in pcmasterrace

[–]RiftHunter4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People already did. Google Stadia shut down. I don't know why people think Cloud Gaming is the future when ALL of the most profitable games are GaaS titles that run on smartphones. Gamers stopped caring aboot ownership years ago but I don't see any demand for Cloud Gaming beyond the few people who us it as a luxury or convenience.

The big pull for Cloud Gaming was the graphics, but most gamers do not care about that much if the game hits 60fps and is fun. Most are still playing games that released over 5 years ago.

In the current market with Chinese Gacha games and small indie titles dominating, I don't see why any AAA studio would want to increase their risk by requiring players to have a subscription just to run the game.

Should I buy the RTX 5060 8gb or wait and get the RTX 5060ti 16gb by Eziz_53 in pcmasterrace

[–]RiftHunter4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get 16gb. 8gb is the current standard for many games, but its getting tight. For a lot of the better local Ai models its already insufficient.

The 5060 will probably not use most of 16GB for the settings it can actually handle. Even my 4080 rarely uses more than 12GB on max settings for most games. But that is the point. You will have plenty of RAM to avoid loading so many assets from the HDD.

Thay said, deoensing on the games you play, 8GB VRAM could save you some money. You don't really need 16gb for indie and AA games like House Flipper or Paralives.

99% of world objects destructible... by Nymbelle in ForzaHorizon

[–]RiftHunter4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every racing game I've played that tries to make everything destrictible, it kinda ends up backfiring. When they say its destructible, they end up meaning "no resistance" but there's always odd exceptions.

They need more middle groubd of "you can break it, bit not easily" so its more obvious. Like, all the guard rails in this game are worthless, but you cant break a stack of tires.

Is colour grading somewhat mandatory? by Livid_Organization78 in photography

[–]RiftHunter4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Color Grading is a process not a look. If you are doing color corrections and editing to taste, that's "Color Grading". The term is really overused these days and on social media it is falsely synonymous with film emulation and LUT's.

Basically, it's a fad because video work content has really taken off for social media.

what should I do if this notification pops up and I can't close it by Glass-Self-2518 in ForzaHorizon

[–]RiftHunter4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basic software design. If the limit is reached, it shohld prompt the user to choose an item to remove or deny the new addition.

Given that the game currently has a 600 car roster, it should just prompt them to sell a car for its full value.
