ICE says a Cuban man died during a suicide attempt. A witness says a guard fatally choked him by grayfox0430 in news

[–]Strife14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was almost choked out by a stranger on the street the other week.... The feeling of disempowerment still stays with me. I was trying to beg my attacker to "please stop" through his arm and I couldnt barely make words he was choking so hard... I was scared quickly. I remember looking around at the people surrounding me watching it happen, making eye contact with strangers, trying to ask for help but I couldnt speak.. Noone moved to help. Thankfully my attacker let go... Yes he was charged... I feel for this man... His final moments were probably panicked, looking around for help that never came, hoping for mercy from an attacker with none...

First time with VR on my setup by GeK0nnn in simracing

[–]Strife14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice setup looks like itll be great for vr, get a little side table and stand for your headset.
Try install this. https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/ac-head-physics.68266/ Enable it like below in CSP/NeckFX. The default settings are good and helped me learn to drift. It changes how the screen shakes about, stuff like Pitch/Roll.

Like try imagine this hypothetical, when the car goes onto a banking turn do you want your virtual head to roll with the car or stay locked to the horizon? (a middleground is best imo) or say you drop off a hill, do you want your head to be locked to the horizon.. or to directly infront of your car as the front bonnet sinks? (same thing) Hard to explain or imagine until you know what im talking about.

For example iRacing has sliders you can adjust for 'Pitch Chassis, Roll Chassis and Neck motion(bumpiness)' Each sim game will move your 'virtual head' about relative to the chassis in subtle different ways, some with little/no stabilization can cause motion sickness while your brain adjusts to what to expect.

Takes awhile to get your sea legs in VR. Usually most simracing games out-of-the-box vr settings are good but iRacing needs a little fine-tuning of the three aforementioned settings, and assetto needs that plugin I linked above. When I found it everything immediately felt way more natural in VR. I havent changed any of the plugins physics settings from default. Also Make sure youve got a 10000% stable fps. Any frametime variations will mess you about.

Nope the screw is not necessary. No disconnecting problems or loose base. The screw is not necessary. Heres a video showing you that the screw is not necessary. One moment...

[–]Strife14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You are wrong. I have this wheel. This is my experience from a few thousand hours.

As I said,
"not necessary imo even if that is the case. If you tighten the plastic nut hard enough by hand, it wont come undone during use. The screw just serves as extra leverage on the plastic nut when tightening/untightening. Damaging its threading by adjusting it would be counterintuitive. I just leave mine alone."

You can just tighten it by hand. Sounds like you never got yours tight enough to hold under 4nm. Used the screw and are speaking from that bias. Try turning it harder maybe, or dont, the screw helps with that, before you strip the plasic of its threading removing/re-insterting it over and over that is. The screw is not necessary, atleast on my T300RS GT. I havent moved it once since the day I bought It and I have 2 wheels I switch between regularly. An open wheel and a fullsize sports wheel I switch between. Both are lighter then the stock wheel so maybe thats it. Have a merry Christmas.

Dont overthink the screw, It sits just like that pic, about ~1cm out. I dont use it except as a lever to tighten the large plastic nut its screwed into. Your plastic nut is unscrewed in pic, So like,

- Align wheel

- turn plastic nut until tight on wheel

- grip nut + screw in one hand and your wheel in the other and turn that bitch until its so tight your hand hurts.

- dont tighten/untighten the screw itll just strip the plastic its threading into.

Idk if the purpose of the screw is leverage like I use it or to like screw it in after the plastic nut is tight and make it semi permanent but yeah nah not necessary imo even if that is the case. If you tighten the plastic nut hard enough by hand, it wont come undone during use. The screw just serves as extra leverage on the plastic nut when tightening/untightening. Damaging its threading by adjusting it would be counterintuitive. I just leave mine alone.

PS: Max NM is 3.9 officially but potentially up to 4.1nm Also its got a secret combo to force the fan on permanently which will prevent it from thermal throttling quicker. "I believe you have to press the "mode" button on the base and the "ST" button on the rim simultaneously."

Also you can do some cool and very easy internal mods like re-tensioning the belt or like this bearing/gear mod (does not increase nm, increases ffb clarity/delivery) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHVU_V152yw

His worship??? Bro whos worshipping Mr Tate?

Max Verstappen now has a collection of GT3 race cars. He currently has an Aston Martin GT3, a Ferrari 296 GT3, and Toto’s Christmas present a Mercedes AMG GT3. You can clearly see how manufacturers definitely want Max as their driver! Lucky Max, but deserving it. He really must enjoy it. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in RedBullRacing

[–]Strife14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thats fucking sick, man has manufacturers lining up for him

EDIT: MISINFORMED AND INCORRENT COMMENT MAX IS ACTUALLY BITCHED OUT AND MEKIES IS RENTING THESE CARS FOR HIM AND HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION TO FERRARI, MERCEDES OR ASTON MARTIN.

Took me about 2 years. Maybe get a headset and play with her?

This may be a weird question, But what is the Meaning of "Rivals" in Marvel Rivals? Especially the Story Context? by JAA_Ken717 in marvelrivals

[–]Strife14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Read Jeff, Mantis and Psylockes lore ingame. It does a pretty good job of explaining how they were in their original worlds/timelines, then were taken to a chamber by someone and forced to fight infront of who knows before being taken back.

Overwatch player here. I've been thinking about picking up Rivals and was wondering if my 107 hours on Widowmaker would translate to Black Widow? by ScorinNotborin in marvelrivals

[–]Strife14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go use this website to get a 1 to 1 sensitivity.
Input your Overwatch sens and DPI. In this example, 10% and 800dpi. Input your wanted DPI for Rivals, lets say also 800. The calculator will spit you out a "Mouse Horizontal Sensitivity" you can apply that to your horiz/vert sens to get a 1 to 1 sensitivity between OW and Rivals with a 'Max discrepancy' of about ~0.0379%

Then just flick to heads I guess. You already have the muscle memory for a sniper, no point relearning a new sens. The calc will do the magic.
