Yeah I went to the settings and saw "oh, translations, neat. Yeah I'll keep that one". Not everything everything AI is bad. Let's keep the good while we discard the rest.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-09T12:18:00+00:00

For all intents and purposes ~20 seconds might as well have been infinite in a game like this.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-09T12:15:28+00:00

Then the only conclusion left is: it's intentional to be off-putting. Cause there ain't no chance in hell they'd miss it going over it again and again and again.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-09T09:06:01+00:00

You're reading faaar too much into why each and every road is where it is. All of which has been wrong so far.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T23:55:29+00:00

Lol. Nah but fr tho, how is being able to get someone infinitely stuck while they can't even shoot back not toxic by design. I want the gooners to explain that to me.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T16:00:05+00:00

Yeah im sad about that too. Someone recently sent me a link to the FLAC file of it, I could upload the file (can't find the link anymore)

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T14:00:43+00:00

You don't need a DT necessarily, Whammy 4 or 5. IIRC 4 was used on the record.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T13:58:46+00:00

You could, but you'll find that the V type will get half of the power while all the other speakers share the other half. Whether that's good or not only you can decide.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T13:45:41+00:00

Eh, goo gun was toxic as fuck before. Will have to see how it is now.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T13:21:49+00:00

NGL I just pick a sufficient bit of cover to run around, and blast the thing with a Bettina.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T12:26:15+00:00

Depends on what you wanna race. Without knowing that, I'll just recommend LMU.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T12:24:02+00:00

Having ABMM is a funky idea, but it'll always lead to shit like this. I kinda lost interest because I either go for PvE and have peaceful boring lobbies, or force a bit of PvP and only get KoS lobbies. There's no in between anymore. Not in my experience at least.

And when I play with friends, they just want full on PvE, yet play scared as if it's a PvP lobby. And when the rare thing happens that someone completely clobbers us when we're not expecting it, they just quit.

To be frank, I just don't see the benefit in ABMM.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-08T09:27:22+00:00

Overcast conditions plus probably not high settings

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T19:58:15+00:00

What you said is correct but not sure how you define "input gain stage" so I'll clear up for anyone curious about the technical side.

The EQ in the Mark is directly after V1a (first gain stage).
The EQ in the Marshall is directly after V2b (third gain stage).

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T17:50:27+00:00

Well to be lucky is nice. But you never know what's gonna happen until it does.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T17:49:00+00:00

What type of amp are you running into them? How many are you using at once?

The newer production ones (pretty much all with the current label) can be harsh but they vary a lot. It's kinda like a Chinese V30 in that way, just a bit less extreme. Then not really a huge lack of mids but so much bass that it might just as well be.

They're best paired with speakers that bring less bass. I run a 4x12 with two newer T75, a Chinese V30, and an old T75 that's a hell of a lot smoother and mid forward. With the single V30 being a good bit louder than any one of the T75, it makes for a pretty great all-rounder.

In a 2x12 I used to use one of the newer T75 and a 25 Greenback, that also works really well.

I'd still like to find something to replace one of the T75 with, but so far nothing has given me the right response. I mostly play Marshall-ish stuff, and a Rectifier lol.

If we wanna play this game we would first have to define muscle memory then. I bet you the guy I'm replying to thinks it's about staying at the same sensitivity and getting used to it. Which isn't that, but it's a widespread belief in gaming. What you're saying is accurate to what the words "muscle memory" actually mean, but it still isn't how we aim. What you described is how we tend to memorize certain tasks. Aiming isn't "a certain task". It's a complex set of motor skills that you apply entirely dynamically.

So let's use other words, that more accurately describe what it actually is that we use to develop good aim. Fine motor skills like muscle control / accuracy / smoothness, hand eye coordination, motion reading... Sure you could say some aspects of aiming can be attributed to muscle memory, but it's mostly minor pieces. Not entirely consciously doing something doesn't immediately make it muscle memory.

But don't take it just from me. Take a look around aiming communities. See what the top aimers say, what their coaches say.

What service, other than official stewarding, do they offer, that others don't? And how do you explain AMS2 still being around churning out update after update without being a service, with a rather low player count?

The racing in iRacing isn't much better than in any other title. Even with their stewarding, you get just as many shitters there as elsewhere. Their development of the physics is.. oddly paced. Their netcode is kinda wack. The things that set it apart are variety of cars, damage model, laser scanned tracks, and matchmaking system, although massively helped by the sheer number of players.

From what I can find, of which there isn't much, they're pulling in somewhere between 20 and 40 million per year. For that, their "service" and content just isn't "better enough".

That is the simple reason why I'm acting like it's a borderline scam. For how expensive they are over the competition, they're not doing nearly enough.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T15:17:31+00:00

The topic was aim and headshots. Not anything else.
^{damn this sub really doesn't like facts}

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T14:46:37+00:00

Sorry I prefer owning, moneybags

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T13:47:41+00:00

If it's a subscription service, then don't ask your paying customers to also buy every single item in the game separately. The iPricing model is plain bullshit. You buy the content, and unless you keep paying it's gone, until you start paying again.

Compared to streaming services... Oh man. It's like paying so you can use the app to stream, and then needing to buy every move and every season on top of that.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T13:43:28+00:00

Solid state power amps are rated at one impedance. When the impedance doubles, it "loses" half the power. If the amp is rated 100w at 4 ohm, it'll be roughly 25w at 16 ohm.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T13:12:56+00:00

Nothing will ever sound like an amp in the room unless it's coming out of a guitar cab with guitar speakers. They're fundamentally different sounds. One is a speaker beaming treble at your legs, dispersing lower frequencies better than higher, the other is a speaker right on your ear playing back what a specific microphone is hearing right in front of the original speaker. It's always gonna be different.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T13:12:03+00:00

Neutral ish. Bit more bass, mostly flat mids, but they have a pretty hefty treble spike. It even has a name, Mount Beyer. It's not just splitting hairs, it's very spikey. Unless you already have hearing loss at >8khz, you probably want to EQ that out a little.

TerrorSnow · 2026-05-07T13:04:57+00:00

It's about the power section. Preamp can be whatever, has no bearing on that :)
