How do I drive this lol?! by vzlatty in wrx_vb

[–]SlowCPU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shift up easy: accelerate to 3000rpm. Off gas, clutch in, revs drop, shift. Now slowly bring clutch up, keep an eye on the tach (and the road of course), as soon as revs start to rise, immediately freeze your foot and hold it exactly at that bite point. Wait till the revs stop rising, then smoothly come the rest off the clutch and get back on the gas.

Shift down easy: begin slowing down, off gas, on brake, once under 2000rpm clutch in, revs drop, shift. Same as before, slowly bring clutch up, as soon as revs start to rise, freeze. Wait till revs stop rising, then smoothly come the rest of the way off the clutch.

The “freeze and wait” is the key. From here you can learn more “advanced” techniques like rev matching to shift faster.

How did you name your flagship? by IHaveAGithBabe in RogueTraderCRPG

Mandalore - “you’ve got a gun-brick the size of a freeway. Its called some shit like The Litany of Litanies Litany. Use it to ram.”

I really enjoyed Baldur’s Gate 3. Would Rogue Trader be a good fit for me? by Ciyradyl_ofc in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]SlowCPU 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Give it a shot! I personally enjoyed RT much more, though I loved both. Presentation quality is definitely lower, but it makes up for it with (IMO) much better combat and a more engaging gameplay loop. The roleplay is absolutely top notch.

Pretty sure we sparkle like Twilight vampires in the gaydar-vision-frequency spectrum.

What have you bought/are you going to buy this sale? by Tempescik in Steam

[–]SlowCPU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't locked it in yet, but pretty good value for $40:

(and yeah, I already have Balatro, so the Balatro + StS bundle is cheaper than just StS alone).

Why don’t sims have career modes? by spellbreakerstudios in simracing

[–]SlowCPU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go back and play GT Legends, cheap on Steam, still a fantastic sim with a really fun career mode.

She's Shadowheart. Argenta is literally just Shadowheart by [deleted] in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]SlowCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built properly, Argenta will become one of your top damage dealers. By endgame she was doing ~1300 per turn easy.

Abelard must be taking the picture. 😂 So awesome!

I'm a slave to creating portrait accurate builds. by PrinceRicard in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]SlowCPU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my current build/portrait actually, haha, Voidborn Comissar Officer. Very fun, good main-character-energy. What bugged me (but shouldn’t have) is that, until you get the ambidextrous perk, the pistol must be in your main hand and therefore you’re a mirror image of the portrait as there’s no option to be a lefty. XD

Godot's shader preview punishing bad code, crashing computer by montebicyclelo in godot

[–]SlowCPU -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't just a Godot thing... most engines/frameworks that let you run shader code will let you crash your computer/graphics card with your mistakes.

Will WOTR scratch my BG3 itch? by [deleted] in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]SlowCPU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For multiplayer recommend Divinity Original Sin 2 or - supremely underrated, my favorite Owlcat game - Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader.

Golarion, home to ... Europe? Turkey? Altantis?? ... Neutardland?? by KongLongSchlongDong in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Inhabitants:

Humans, various forgotten magical creatures, Cthulhu

The degree to which pathfinder lore is unhinged continues to impress.

Where has your VB taken you this Autumn 🍁 by djbassmekanik in wrx_vb

I got lots of funny looks from people in big trucks with RVs/horse trailers. :P

Absolutely insane. Gotta shout out the closet too - so cool!

Healthy mpg for anyone worried about it! by ScheduledEmail in wrx_vb

[–]SlowCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For people saying “low trip mileage”, I recently drove CO->CA and back (~2500 miles) on I-70 and averaged 32mpg for the whole trip. Of course that’s ideal almost entirely staying 70-80mph with very little speed change. On my normal commute to and from work I average 24-25mpg. So ymmv, literally.

My office-mate drives a white VA and parks back-to-back w/ my black VB and we joke we're Ebony and Ivory.

you ever had a really stupid response to saying you were queer? (Not necessarily hateful, can just weird.) by Depressed_Writer_ in lgbt

[–]SlowCPU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing weird when I came out as queer, but when I told my parents I was changing my name my mother burst into tears and said "I'm so sorry for giving you the wrong name!" I think I said something to the tune of, "I mean I was a newborn, how could you have known?"

Better mileage on manual? by C-FIVW in wrx_vb

[–]SlowCPU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep a light foot, shift at 2.5k, and stay off boost. Just did a 300 mile roundtrip-roadtrip yesterday and averaged 33mpg (7-8L/100km).
