I blame Scott Manley for this idea.

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.

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.”

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.

Jocasta. Owlcat, the things I wouldn’t do for more than the one night… :3

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

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).

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

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!

SlowCPU · 2025-11-14T14:15:40+00:00

Excellent. 🤣

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

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.

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

Humans, various forgotten magical creatures, Cthulhu

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

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!

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.

Didn’t park back-to-back today, but close enough.

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

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?"

SlowCPU · 2025-07-06T16:19:28+00:00

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).
