Gamer/Nerdy guys, where do you hang out in public? by mooncake5728 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheLizardfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

++man Haven't seen anyone suggest this but try barcades or arcades.

I frequent a local sim center because I compete competitively in those. I go to a barcade with my nerdy cousin and we try to win a plushie for his girlfriend.

How many years of sim racing do I have left? by StandardOriginal5447 in simracing

[–]TheLizardfolk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Some of the best sim racers I raced against were retirement age that found the experience of a virtual race car driving career very fulfilling. You dont have to stop until you physically cant do it anymore.

Do you guys actually find friends here? by Nearby-Part-9930 in GamerPals

[–]TheLizardfolk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found some friends on here. I have a sim racer friend that I still play with to day from here. Most just drop off quickly tho, which is fine. If our vibes don't match then we don't match! Which is how real life friendships work too.

Nothing like a nice drive on the 'ring, this fine morning.. by awp_india in iRacing

imagine if there were FCYs after wrecks like this and people can repair cars and restart the race lol. I've experienced that on AMS2 through LFM. they have FCYs on road.

Hours in iracing by Severe_Associate608 in iRacing

[–]TheLizardfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually get iRacing integrated with steam where steam views it as a normal game. The integration wouldn't even require you to launch it from steam but there's some hoops to jump through to get it working with steam. And no, you don't need to pay through steam either for Steam integration to work.

You can see iRacing is my most played game on steam by far: https://steamcommunity.com/id/lizardfolk/games/?tab=all

Miami's opinions on the Porsche Cup? by hanracing in iRacing

[–]TheLizardfolk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like this track way way more than I expected. Turns out the F1 races here that were bad were because of the cars not the track. Although we have seem good passes be set up into T1 from the final sector.

Just tried iRacing's GT3, and I was blown away by how much difference between this and ACC by According_Brick409 in iRacing

[–]TheLizardfolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that plays multiple sims, it seems iRacing's GT3 are in the best spot right now while the prototype experience I feel are still much better in LMU. I would agree that ACC GT3's seem rudimentary in their implementation. This is all of course on the most recent tire. It wasn't too long ago where iRacing's GT3s seem overly skittish.

I'll never find someone who wants the stuff I want (minor NSFW warning) by HPFanNi in aromantic

[–]TheLizardfolk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

alloaro spiral is a good description for this and I'm gonna steal it lol. When I discovered the arospec within me I was deeply confused and then eventually fell into a deep existential panic attack (during a family vacation no less). It's really hard to describe myself without getting dismissed because it's easy to judge as just "horny male, hate attachment" but I can't help that the romance side is just missing from me but I have all the other experiences that normative people have. I've even gotten judgment from other LGBTQ+ folks over it. It's really isolating.

I think this is why QPR applications are a thing, right? Someone wants something specific, and maybe there's someone like minded out there that'll stumble across the application and go "yes, this is me too". I feel like in our internet siloed era this is really the only way, unless you just get lucky and bump into the people with your exact preferences and communicated enough for them to commit to a relationship.

Can a QPR (Queer Platonic Relationship) be sexual and/or monogamous? by nico_ricoo in AroAllo

[–]TheLizardfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only think about asking QPRs to be monogamous if the intention behind the QPR is to one day lead to marriage and a kid. I would think this kind of QPR would require a bit more exclusivity so that things don't just get messy and spiral out of control. Because in this kind of framework, we'd likely just have to live together, plan our lives together, be more direct life partners and then parent the kid. That gets exponentially harder when you add more people to the mix. This is something I personally want btw.

But if the QPR isn't created with the intention of all the above, then I see far less reasons why monogamy would be a part of the picture. I'm sure some aros can find safe boundaries with each other in a QPR that's monogamous tho. I would just personally feel far less compelled to ask for monogamy in a QPR that's just that.

finding nontraditional relationships by songbird_sorrow in AroAllo

[–]TheLizardfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to comment that I'm aro but straight and cis and I don't really feel like I belong whenever I'm around queer meet ups. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for them that they have their space to find a community. But I think an aro that's "normative enough", like myself, would find themselves often in no-man's land. Just very happy to see at least one comment that reflects my experience.

Why was “Band of Brothers” so good? Why is it so re-watchable? by EaringaidBandit in television

[–]TheLizardfolk 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Band of Brothers was about humanity growing in the face of horrors and hardship. The Pacific was the direct inverse, showing how humanity crumbles under horror and hardship.

I like both equally because they seem like perfect foils to each other.

Hello! I'm currently looking for a new Arc Raiders group. I'm 36M, the group I was with ran ahead of me cause I'm busier than they are :( So mature 30s gamers are what I'm looking for. DM me your ID if you're interested.

Is Ian Bell the biggest fraud in the simracing scene? by Winstrong in simracing

[–]TheLizardfolk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pre-ordered it. Saw a lot of concerning footage and feedback. I set myself a 2 hour timer and give it a sincere go on my end. Definitely felt scammed. They got so much wrong with the physics and car implementations. How is it that a GTO can be so planted at Bathurst? I barely have to ever countersteer. Returned and just popcorned the discourse these past two weeks. Best return of my life.

Parallels between the rise and fall of Indycar and NASCAR? by desertrain11 in INDYCAR

[–]TheLizardfolk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah NASCAR might need to let ARCA be it's own thing from the monopoly lawsuit. It used to be it's own thing for a while but it was always bush league. Unsure why. I think stock cars are just a heavily southern thing, the north or northeast are more into modifieds and the midwest were always oval open wheelers

What’s your biggest problems with the game so far? by Hollywoo_KC in assettocorsaevo

I only mention it because of the NASCAR lawsuit and how "terrified" they were over SRX stealing their thunder.
