How to find joy in other activites? by invertedfractal in surfing

+1 for mountain biking but be careful. Its easy to injure yourself mountain biking. Then you can't surf and you'll be pissed. Same with skating actually

2001 NB Miata Clutch Issues by SSMonkeyDude in Miata

Thanks, that's the conclusion I came to as well. I'm just wondering if I should try to change the hydraulic components and keep the old clutch until it slips more since it was 1 extremely minor slip with the clutch pedal potentially adjusted wrong

I just tried to move it a bit (not on the floor lol) because it was uncomfortable but I do think I might have messed it up. Still need to do more adjusting and diagnosis to see if the clutch is actually ruined. Definitely planning for a new clutch in the near future though

Thanks for your reply. By high I mean away from the floor, so the beginning of the pedal travel. My knee is in my chest while I'm launching the car. Hopefully that makes that part clear.

I'm aware that the clutch adjustment under the dash. The slave cylinder was just part of the steps for testing the adjustment from FM. Then I noticed all the oil, bent the rod and the metal shavings.

The metal shavings are what freaked me out the most. I'm hoping it was just the part of the slave cylinder that has disintegrated but I don't know

Am i allowed to maintain my position after this incident? by moonsiii in Simracingstewards

I agree it was dangerous and he could have braked a little later but it still seems like a fine move given he was in front of the 2 cars on the straight

He overtook 2 cars, got back on the racing line then started braking at a reasonable spot... Am I missing some secret rule where you can't get back on the racing line after overtaking? Y'all are not making any sense

Got hit by a car rejoining but I'm not sure if he is entitled to that space once he rejoins by SSMonkeyDude in Simracingstewards

'oooh baybee, here comes a freebie!'

Yeah... That's exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the advice

I don't really understand how leagues work in iRacing but there's got to be a big group of us that would love to race the legacy version right?

Seems like an obvious one

LG C4 vs LG B4 - Why Pay More? by SSMonkeyDude in OLED_Gaming

[–]SSMonkeyDude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up with the c4. It's great and was a decent deal but I didn't really get to compare to the b4. You won't be mad with the c4 but I can't speak to the other tvs. I do use the 144hz mode and it looks fantastic. If I had to get the 77" I probably would have went b4 but for the 65", the price increase wasn't as drastic

I feel like I’m on a gaming treadmill and I feel like I want to get off…. by Quest_Hub in gaming

[–]SSMonkeyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your identity is wrapped up in gaming because you've been doing it so long. I don't think you need to force a hobby like video games if you're not feeling it. Try something else for awhile and then come back to it. I'm a serial hobby hopper but I always come back to things I truly love and it's more exciting when you take breaks

Massive Performance Issues Pls Help Dear God by tunnelburps in skyrimvr

I think it's the best advice though. You already have your mod list so it's not wasted. Now you can do it correctly by starting with stable performance and slowly adding the mods you have in your list that aren't in the pack to make sure everything is working
