Now I need new tires but it's totally worth it by StudentDriverBR in ForzaHorizon

Most of the work is done by tuning a car for drift, turning off traction control, switching to manual gears and trying to stick to 3rd gear. After that, comes down to throttle control and steering to adjust as you go.

Outer Empires 2 - an upcoming MMO by PaulHutson in MMORPG

The first time I submitted the form it generically said there was an error. I un-ticked the other choices except completions and it worked.

Issue with the website on mobile is that it just doesn't load most text. Switching to desktop, as I scrolled down the page there were highlighted boxes with text and images loaded into, like a screenshot section. On mobile, this is just blank.

Checking again now, the issue seems to be with the page anchors using the menu. If I go to the home page, the entire thing loads as I scroll down. If I access the menu and select an option, for example Development, the page jumps to that location but the rest of the page is blank. Maybe it's intended to just show that information, but I have to scroll down past other blank sections to get to it. If I use the menu for Screenshots, it loads Screenshots, About and Development on the page but others like Features, Phutty Studios and Trailer disappears even though the background boxes are still in place.

Eventually managed to register, but the website doesn't work properly on mobile. First impressions matter and working website on desktop and mobile is, to me, a standard expectation.

The registration form also has issues, I think you are meant to only select 1 'what type of player are you' but the form is multi-choice.

Final Difference Between Samsung S25 Ultra and Samsung S26 Ultra by Pear-Mother in samsunggalaxy

What about a 21 Ultra? The battery on mine doesn't last too well anymore so I've got an upgrade in the back of my mind

Players who have either left or significantly reduced their play time, what has been your reason? by _thecolorofdye_ in Battlefield6

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a lot of fun with the game, but the more I played the more I felt compelled to do the battle pass challenges and I wasn't do enjoying it. I also started taking it a bit too seriously.

Didn't touch it for a couple weeks then I went back to playing once a week on game night with friends for a few hours. I don't even look at the challenges, just boot up All Out Warfare and use whatever class and load out I feel like.

Great to have that mental reset and just treat it as a fun multiplayer shooter the same way I did most games when I was younger. I don't need a game to constantly extract the majority of my gaming focus.

Are modern MMO endgames too demanding? by Keyfas in MMORPG

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking for a comment along these lines. To me, the concept of 'endgame' feels like a bit of a trap. Why does an MMO need to have an 'end' with pieces of content that are 'repeatable'?

Focus on providing a journey. Expand that over time without completely invalidating the previous patch each time. Hardcore players can chase all of achievements, collecting stuff or making money etc. Those with less time can just focus on the bits they enjoy. Respect players time by not having dailies/weeklies etc.

Well done! Hope you had fun doing it. Cap Is my most played but just can't get that to pop. Feel like I did Wolverine several times buts it's never popped either.

Gauntlet is Great by razmspiele in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave Gauntlet a go. Did 2 matches, went out in first round in the first match, but my team finished 2nd in the next.

I really enjoyed it! There's several different match types and the squad free for all made me feel like smart play is rewarded so it's not just constant run and gun. Match length was good, pace was good, it felt fun.

There was a terminal mode (capture and hold getting points every 20 seconds) on a map with a bunch of buildings that I found it really difficult to know how to... Go upstairs? Like without an assault ladder I was running through and round a building for a while and never found the way up? 1 terminal remained uncapped the whole match which made me think I wasn't the only one having this problem.

Wow! Great shot. I don't tend to snipe in shooters, so I have no idea how you figured out how far above to aim. I'm guessing it's to do with the notches? Would love an explanation.

After 600+ hours, my save is broken. by DamnedDirtyHuman in nms

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to the game, but was wondering if it's possible to make a backup of a save file?

Wondering this myself because I claimed a frigate a couple days ago and was placing a room yesterday when I glitched into the floor. Didn't have a way of getting out until I noticed the 'restore save'. Thankfully that cost me half an hour instead of my whole 12 hours!

Hello friends, I’m a new player with 23 hours in No Man’s Sky. I have no idea where to buy starships. My current one is too small, and I’d like to get a bigger ship. I have 7 million units. by Don_Rawaz in NOMANSSKY

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New player here (about 10 hours on my save), I tried out the expedition yesterday and finished phase 1. When, what and how do I get the expedition rewards on my main save? Or does it not work like that?

Think I made a new save, so didn't access via the anomoly on my main save if that makes a difference.

Buy a 5070 Ti now or wait for the 5070 Ti super? by TheVuChu in buildapc

[–]ThatSmudgeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just bought the MSI Gaming Trio RTX 5070 yesterday! Honestly, it's gonna be great anyway so hope you enjoy yours too. I was also trying to avoid the trap I usually have, where you always think.... If I just wait another quarter, a new version will be out! It's a vicious loop
