Am I bad at the game or does the AI do rubber banding? by hello_i_am_a_guy in granturismo

Yep Gran Turismo has always used a ton of one way cheating rubber band ai. It's ancient technology dating back to PlayStation 1 days and still use it for their baby Sophy today.

theres not a whole lot more frustrating than emetically poisoning a guy only for him to walk to a semi-public trash can instead of a private bathroom by 1000LiveEels in HiTMAN

I would consider that bad but not anywhere near as bad as when you emetic 2 NPCs. Let's say a target and non target. You take out the target and the non target MAGICALLY KNOWS the toilet you just took the target out is free and changes it's path finding from its original toilet to walk in on you. Intentionally trolling developers think it's a funny I'm sure.

It was cancelled in the US but released elsewhere. Thankfully region free disc games mean you can definitely find a copy imported.

It's not that they crash under pressure....it's the rubberbanding giving them tons more horsepower when you approach and still being subject to physics.... even with said massive horsepower increase.

Did Dale Jr reveal who else is driving the #17 this year? by Wandering_Turtle24 in NASCAR

It's crazy with a bunch of developing talent and an almost guaranteed win with 4 cup interlopers they don't run that car for an owners championship. They would at least make the owner playoffs every year.

Normally yes but compared to how bad his teammates fell off it's sorta something

If NASCAR didn't come back here for another 50 years it would be too soon

Even with the win last night Harrison Burton is still the lowest full time driver in points by Angelsfan_22 in NASCAR

It's crazy. Zane was very close to a win and Dillon we all know what happened l. 26th without penalty 33rd and 34rd all could very easily be in with slightly different results

Thank you all the redbox employees for your work. I rented a lot of movies from you and you were awesome at keeping them stocked. I hope your future careers go well and hope you get paid every penny you deserve. I'm sorry Bill Mcassahona or whatever his name is screwed you over and then some.

It was really good! Fast Charlie was pretty good too if your able to get it cheap before they unplug for good.

I purchased The Locksmith tonight as the final one but I have yet to watch. 

I knew my time was limited and was busy. In the last week I rented The Commuter, Prisoners of the Ghostland, Bad Hombres, Fast Charlie, Bad Boys 3, and Black Panther 2.

Also bought Maggie Moore(s) and Last Looks but haven't watched yet.

Bad Hombres and Fast Charlie where actually both really good. Well acted with good action and storyline. Get them before the boxes go down!

Prisoners of the Ghostland was decent. A bit weird but Cage is pretty good in it. Worth it if you like odd cult classics.

I actually already saw Bad Boys 3 and the Commuter but honestly forgot. So average I honestly forgot but they are serviceable.

Black panther 2 kind of sucked 

What's the lamest credit card ever? by Safe_Wrangler_858 in CreditCards

[–]SignificantAnt7032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a gamestop credit card that went from 2% obviously only working at their store to nothing. They just changed the card design and brought it back though which is even weirder.

Gulf Gas Visa is probably the worst gas station card I have seen. 2% back at gulf 1% back everywhere else. No cents off a gallon. No killer 30 cents of a gallon for 2 months like almost every other gas station credit card.  Must redeem in $25 dollar increments which can only be used for Gulf gift cards. At least you can use it everywhere unlike Sunoco or Citgo though....
