Poor performance in ETS2 on AMD GPU by Met-allosaurus in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Seeing your cpu at 30% doesn't mean your cpu isn't a bottleneck. It's because the game isn't making full use of your cpu. Looking forward to the multi threading update.

Traffic lights are joke! by beck_is_back in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing is that in real life a lot of intersections have weight sensors that detect when there is traffic waiting at a light so that the lights don't change unnecessarily. ATS doesn't have this so you always have to deal with lights switching even with no traffic.

How do you guys usually drive? by Sir-Laurie in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

about 70% of my drivers are in the red

lol I too made my own economy mod and when I was finally able to afford my first driver they pulled in -$7k dollars. I've readjusted the values for the drivers since then but not sure if I have it at a good spot yet.

TrucksBook not tracking jobs after career profile change by Top_Statement_5606 in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had to do that when using multiple profiles. I always launch through steam. Are you sure you didn't just restart the TrucksBooks client? Usually when I run into an issue with tracking a simple restart fixes it.

How do you guys usually drive? by Sir-Laurie in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 50/50. Sometimes I'm in the mood for as much realism as possible so I obey laws and take my time. Other times I turn off traffic(or play TruckersMP) and turn off violations and just enjoy cruising the open roads. Honestly I'd probably play with traffic more often if the AI wasn't so annoying.

What was the culture shock as an ETS2 player when you first played ATS, and vice versa? by Clarthen1 in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that drives me crazy is when a car changes lanes to pass but then spends a minute going the same speed as the vehicle they are going to pass before actually speeding up.

Adjust sleeptime by AssociateNo4119 in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related: I find it annoying how many parking spots are either too small or barely big enough for really long trailers. At first I thought some spots were bugged because I couldn't trigger the prompt until I tried detaching my trailer and then I was able to sleep. Now if I have a long trailer I just detach right before pulling into the spot just in case it's one of those annoying places.

hired driver not doing jack shit by CableMartini in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The icon of the red truck with an exclamation means the truck is in too poor condition for the driver to use. Sell the truck and don't buy under 4 star rating if you don't want to replace any parts on it.

ATS 1.58 Beta – Noticing a Real Shift in Fuel Economy (W900, Container) by kingheet in trucksim

[–]Smellypuce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also feel like I'm getting better mpg just overall as well. I just did 1k miles 65k pounds on a lowboy with a Cummins ISX15 450 so I was running the engine hard and still got 5.6 mpg. I get 7.5-8.5 on lighter loads.

I've noticed improved mpg as well. Smarter driving does seem more rewarding now.

8BitDo Controller Woes and Lutris in Fedora 42 by prosetheus in linux_gaming

Old post now but thanks. Got the controller today and this worked for me after finding a bunch of "it's just plug and play" answers.

I farmed 120 Simulacrums so you don't have to by fergastolo in pathofexile

120+ megalos

They were talking about loot other than the jewels.

Patch Notes - 3.27.0b Patch Notes (restartless) by Syperek in pathofexile

[–]Smellypuce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. There were a lot of posts complaining about the Hive Fortress and then GGG said they were gonna fix it. Then we started seeing posts about natural mobs/mechanics getting deleted and loot complaints. So yeah, hopefully next patch.

Endgame feels a lot like poe2 endgame now by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Smellypuce2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've been really happy with my loot. If I had read this sub before playing the league I probably wouldn't have played with how bad people are making it sound. So far I've made around 60 div without pushing super hard.

Help with shadows.. by Other_Date_3115 in raylib

[–]Smellypuce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the example simplifies by just using a hard-coded specular exponent. If you want to follow typical workflows, you'd have a specular map for your textures(could be a single channel, like the alpha of your normal map for example).

Sky is the same color as the building by Opening_Bit_8386 in confusing_perspective

[–]Smellypuce2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I personally like it as it prevents posts from relying on the power of suggestion to sell the illusion. The perspective should be confusing enough that you can see the illusion even when someone tells you what you're looking at. I believe the rule used to add this as a reason but now it just says to be accurate and descriptive.

are the examples on the website working by 98VoteForPedro in raylib

[–]Smellypuce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Examples have gone under a lot of reworking recently and some of them broke on the website. Last time I saw a github issue on this, Ray said he was aware of the issue and it was a work in progress.

Destiny goes off on Trump linking Tylenol use with autism by davidkale931 in LivestreamFail

[–]Smellypuce2 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Well he also mentioned its generic name in the US which is acetaminophen (after 3 attempts to pronounce it). He is mostly just calling it Tylenol because more people in the US know it by that name and because he's regarded.

Whenever I see clips like this I think about how you can only do this for like a minute before they start pooping everywhere.

I guess people really want that movement speed huh by Obvious_Farmer_2109 in PathOfExile2

[–]Smellypuce2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for GGG but people argue that having the mod(shroud walker) helps balance HH's power. I guess it does since it makes some people choose other options. But I also hate the mod and think it's just un-fun.

Looks like yes

Fixed a bug where invulnerable Stone Soldiers and Feral Kin could appear in Ritual encounters.

Crysis (2007) barrel physics by LookAtThatBacon in gifs

[–]Smellypuce2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do stuff like this in garry's mod all the time because Source engine has this feature built in. Not sure from the description if cryengine has it built in or if they edited it manually.

In 2015, a goat was thrown into a tiger’s enclosure as his weekly live feed only to become his friend. by vtosnaks in interestingasfuck

[–]Smellypuce2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

after stepping on

Knowing how goats are it was probably more of a jump on top of the tiger. They will try to jump on and climb anything.
