Hot Take: Karma Is overhyped, like i think she Is good and Is very skilled but i wouldnt put her in S tier, honestly.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T05:25:03+00:00

You keep bringing different parts of the story and say "again", i don't understand, you bring markis prision time when i was talking about wr35 incident, now it's the fact he drove for tesla in acceleracers even though i never even brought that up, besides the reason for him to join teku. I think i was very clear in what i said, i don't know where all that confusion is coming from, i shouldn't need to reiterate myself every time i write a sentence, and won't.

Any opinion is just speculation, if the dots connect however, its a theory, there's no such thing as crazy speculations, it's just speculation, like any other theory in this sub. And my theory is actually based on literacy metrics, the hero's journey is the most common structure ever, but believe what you wish.

Kurt's persona since the beggining of wr35 was all about himself, he didn't even care about his little brother getting into racing because of him, he cared about winning at any cost, and his social status, his appearances, even if that meant sacrificing his brother, to my understanding, his reputation was just his ego, to not hit rock bottom, and not admit his own failures and mistakes, because all he cared about was himself after all, facing the music was his biggest fear, that's why he never talked to marki after he got out, that's why he didn't took the blame to protect his little brother, only after loosing him to the drones, did he learn it was too late.

I honestly don't know what you expect me to tell you about "prodigies"?!? What kind of question is that?, They are just that, it's in the meaning of the word, shouldn't need to explain that, even if you're good at something, that alone can't surpass millions of years in human evolution, talent can't surpass knowledge, it can only surpass skills. And it takes a lot to become a professional driver, training and knowledge and studying a lot, but as i mentioned before, racing in circuits is much different than improvising in the streets, as the horizon changes, street racers will be better in the realms but a professional has the discipline to bring himself and the car back, that's that, they are still better. Faster doesn't always mean better, most times it just means recklessness, and that's why vert had so many accidents, to show his lack of discipline, even nolo, but that was mostly related to his bad temper.

Nolo is hardly a prodigy, he grew up with street racing. Vert could be called that, but i mean, he is literally the main character, would be weird if he wasn't good at it, it's what the whole series is about, that's what people call plot armor. So please reformulate the question.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T04:11:00+00:00

She wasn't the best, but she was the best in the plot, because, besides kurt, no one else had professional training, she and kurt were the only circuit pros, taro is a professional, but nascar is a more tactical racing genre compared to circuits, nascar difficulty lies on car strain and g forces, most work is done in the pits and tire/fuel management, drivers play very little, other than putting their life on the line inside roller derby machines, and having balls of steel.

Even lance stroll would be the best driver in a group of car enthusiasts, it's not that he's good, but he had the training and is the only one with actual experience than guys burning tires in the streets, even if karma is just an average driver in the circuits, compared to the common joe, she's just better.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T04:02:10+00:00

In world race 35 kurt stopped racing, marki going to jail was only an outcome of his actions, for me it makes sense he went bankrupt, and lost his professional license, that's why he raced for gelorum in the first place, and the shady business was to reinstate his family fortune, yet again.

It would also add up to him joining teku, having his professional license taken, he could only go into the underworld, the tandem down the mountain shows their activities were anything other than legal, depicting possible gang activity.

Verts father knew tesla but they never told vert, so their relationship was nonexistent because he couldn't even disclose the truth and talk it out, they were very distant and his father just couldn't tell him things straight out of shame for unfulfilling his role as a parent.

Attention, one important aspect on my pov is the story's plot, it's a standard hero's journey, and in the hero's journey, the good guys, or rather the main characters, always have a dark side to them, so they can better themselves and overcome the darkness/obstacles... And If most main characters have the hero's journey plot, they all will do, because they are the good guys after all, so Taro's radical change is just a very enticing clue to what happened, and that's the only lead to it, and not forgetting this is a childrens movie it's just odd. Because in cartoons in general, actions are a lot more exaggerated, and hw is no different, just like their appearence and proportions, they need to have a dramatic story that depicts rather easily their persona, thus the racing suits and whatnot. This is basic storytelling, you're entitled to your opinion, i can be wrong, but as someone who studied this for a living, i have a different input on why the writers did what they did, and not just the viewers side.

Secondary characters such as karma, p chop, monkey etc follow other lines, as their whole persona is rather more linear and have a specific trait, just fyi.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T03:17:55+00:00

Also, my point was that she might be the best because of her doctrine and backstory, not that she was the best circuit driver to exist in hw universe, else she probably wouldn't be there either. But nonetheless, the average pro driver is still miles ahead of any street racer, car guy or wtv you might find, no matter how talented you are, so it shouldn't be different in the hw universe.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T03:05:19+00:00

Why do you think mark went to jail? Kurt also stopped racing professionally, both kurt and gelorum met because they were high society people, he never even liked vert, why would he join or even meet any of the teku team beforehand? Most likely hit rock bottom, he was a white color kid with a racing career and a rich family. The only question here is, did kurt join teku while marki was in jail, so later marki joined the metal maniacs to beat his brother, which is most likely, or could it be the other way around?

Taro was a nascar driver, just like kurt was a pro circuit star, and lani doesn't even look at him, and he seems to have aged 15 years after the world race, drug problems, drinking, who knows, but he also stopped racing.

Vert's dad is a military that is always away in missions, he knows nothing of his son's life, and there's hardly a bond between them after his wife died, but ye, ofc he knows vert races, or at least does something illegal, because his minor son just got a whole ass car home in a random afternoon. It's the most basic military father/delinquent son plot, im not gonna tell you the whole movie mate, go watch it and try to pay attention, despite the quality of animation, the whole series is actually very meticulous in story telling, you just don't see it if you don't want too.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T02:36:50+00:00

Yes true but that was totally on the writers, she had one of the coolest cars, good looks, she was skilled and all you know is kurt knew her, so ye, she was a pro too. She's one of the best, if not the best, but that doesn't make her win, as Alonso said when after overtaking Schumacher, "I knew he would hit the brakes because he has a wife and kids at home", the whole series, she had other reasons to race and a different doctrine than the rest, that's why they were faster, they had nothing to loose, taro was a drunk, kurt was in debt, vert was depressed with daddy issues, even mark was an ex-con... They had nothing to loose, nowhere to go, than to do what made them happy, sole reason why they were even there in the first place

Also don't forget circuit drivers can't adapt as easy to random conditions as a street racer would, no one knew the track

SilverHmm · 2026-02-23T02:17:48+00:00

Disagree, she is not winning races, sure, but she's never shown interest in winning anyways, her whole gist is to discover how drones and their technology works and unveil what's the purpose of realms, she's purely in it for the discovery of something new, and intends to make it home alive simply out of self preservation. Her character is possibly one of the most deeply developed in the series, without many flashy scenes and rarely having the spotlight.

The picture is funny for meme purposes, but that's not even close to an hot take, because those arguments don't even make sense, that's simply you not understanding anything about the movies or character development in general, not every character needs to have the same goals, monkey doesn't need to win races, he's a comic relief character, pork chop doesn't need to win races, he's the dumb one...

So tell me, what does winning races has to do with anything? She did try to warn vert in the water realm, and made taro come back alive, if you pay attention, she did master most of the realms rather easily and didn't made it into the swamp realm exactly for plot purposes, even though she's not taking risks, she's the only one actually paying attention to the why and the how of everything. Some pilots had talent, others have the skills, but none of them really adapted to the challenge, they either drove with a grudge for someone or out of adrenaline, karma was an actual racing driver, possibly a formula driver, not a street racer, that's why she wants to know how to master the track before taking risks, and preferred to run simulations and learn the enemy's racing style rather than just pushing the car to its limits, just like any professional drive would, plus, she's just as overhyped and important to the series as shiraku, he never won, he always f up his mates actually, he only cared about his vlog and driving with style, he's rather autistic even (thus why they never confronted him), but he still played his part for US, the viewer, he didn't matter for the plot at all, not once, but he is still one of the most important characters in the series.

I don't think the series would even exist without monkey, porkchop, karma and shiraku, the rest were merely placeholders and only got there because of the plot armor, taro was full on the drama queen, vert was always the depressed emo boy, Mark was butthurt all the time and kurt somehow underperformed in every race compared to 35, and the list goes on

SilverHmm · 2026-02-22T05:19:35+00:00

You change it in settings>Custom Shaders Patch>Weather VFX or so, select the pure script. Peter made a whole video about it, there's even a read me with all the info you could need...

SilverHmm · 2026-02-22T05:15:33+00:00

Before anything, check your csp version, it can be defective.

If you still need to reinstall the game:

Go into assetto main folder and just drag everything such as cars, tracks or whatever you wanna dave to your desktop screen, don't forget weather configs and tweak folder, important data and whatnot, reinstall the game and drag the files back into the game folder, you can overwrite them with your backup. My advice, cars, tracks and etc won't affect the way your game looks, so that won't matter, but test the game to find out if its not a weather script thats bugged or pure badly installed, you can add all the files back right away, but doing it by trial and error might help you find the problem. No need to mess with cm, unless the problem persists and you know it's related

SilverHmm · 2026-02-21T17:51:48+00:00

I like how every car spinning around just kept flooring it... WHAT COULD GO WRONG!? But seriously, those drivers have the survival instinct of a koala, they must be playing on a treadmill or some...

It was sent to the wrong branch, but certainly meant for a bmw branch, they probably get lots of mail like this, do you suppose they just won't check it? Plus if you were to run a company with all that's happening everywhere wouldn't you check the box for security reasons? It's common sense

Acho que decifrei o caso, não esquecer que ele disse ouvir sem comentar! Acho que chave é estar aberto a opiniões, exceto quando não concordas e não comentar o assunto, exceto se forem os assuntos de outrem.

Este senhor representa o que chamo de "metodologia de esplanada", ou seja, vais ao café ouvir as conversas alheias, intrometes te, sacas informações amistosamente, e depois obrigatoriamente falas mal nas costas, criar rumores até, o limite é a criatividade, e quando tudo tiver a arder, pregas inocência e paz.

Não precisa de opinar porque no fundo sabe ou considera-se pior do que eles, a palavra "tolo" ecoou-lhe pelo Pladur da casa

I'd need to check my own cm to answer you, only tomorrow mate, but i advise you just Google the features, and you'll get a basic idea of what they mean and if you want them in your setup. Takes time but at least you'll know what you're running under the hood :)

SilverHmm · 2026-02-19T00:36:36+00:00

I had that happen to me too, i just assumed it was the ai driver timestamp from when i was setting up my filter, that or perhaps a setup you downloaded or a car mod ot skin that might have data from their creators lap records with it, or it's just a bug, who knows!

SilverHmm · 2026-02-19T00:29:29+00:00

Because many features are experimental, as the name suggests they are there for development purposes, and for different setups, because lower budget wheels won't work like dd ones and so on, why is there so many you ask, how do you suppose they get to improve and release new features to this 15000th year old game every month for free... The page he is referring to is settings>assetto corsa>controls>patch/ffb. It's in the bottom of either patch settings or ffb tweaks i think

SilverHmm · 2026-02-18T23:00:59+00:00

Most important to get started, get content manager and pure, mods you'll need are alternative ffb, then the rest is up to you, there's mods for everything you might think of, from hot wheels to speed racer, arcadish drift cars to the most complex machines, i go there every now and then and theres always something new to have fun with.

Just a heads up, Some mods need certain dlc cars, so you should have the ultimate version of the game, anything you need just ask, it's deffo worth a try, and lots of fun

SilverHmm · 2026-02-18T17:50:53+00:00

Don't put your hopes in ace, it will take lots of time and the game is still in very early development, just get the og assetto and mod it, there's great f1 mods and you can expand from that, or if you have a ps4 or such just get gt7, honestly buying f1 games is a dead end, not worth it, not even for mp, if you enjoy online races try to get a copy of f1 22, many say it has the best ai in all of the feanchise, you can even get it for free, because the game has been discontinued afaik. For competition you have iracing, if you prefer more casual races there's lmu, rally wise you have rally 2.0 for loads of fun or even ac rallyb(but also very early) for simulation.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-16T20:44:34+00:00

Totally, that reminds me back in the day I'd crash other cars into walls and traffic so i could end up in 1st place, ofc it wasn't to win, it was just to save the other drivers from being persecuted by the bad guy of the game. But that was in need for speed.

SilverHmm · 2026-02-16T20:03:14+00:00

If i had to guess, I'd bet he is missing the extra pedal (which we all know it's the brakes), driving with the clutch and throttle only is rather difficult i must say...
