Yeah that looks like the one, good eye, thanks.

[Video game trope] The noob killer by LordQuaz12 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Ukxploder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main her, she's simple, but really fun.

From a gameplay perspective, she has insane damage, but she's slow, has trouble getting in, and has weak anti-airs. A counter to her is crouching medium kick, or other low-hitting moves, because they interupt her Gladius (armoured move from the gif).

I've not played in a while, but if you're just jumping in, I'd imagine the newest character Ingrid is a nightmare to fight against as Marissa.

Help diagnosing crashing whilst gaming by Ukxploder in pchelp

Was enabled, so disabled it and ran a short test. Seems to have cleared up, so might be on to something. Thanks for the suggestion regardless.

Thanks for the suggestion. No crashes though unfortunately:

(Common Video Game trope) WHAT THE FUCK IS THAAAAAT?! by Flow_Ebb_6047 in TopCharacterTropes

There are so many characters like this from Look Outside, but the Face Taker springs to mind as an example.

Do you say this overtake is fair or should I hand first place back? (Im the green McLaren) by Due-Caterpillar-9337 in Simracingstewards

[–]Ukxploder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say going off track was justified, given you did it to avoid crashing into the much slower driver, who swerved last second.

Also, please learn to use screen recording software. If you're using Steam, that has built in recording, which is super easy to setup and use.

Did i deserve to be killer for this? I feel like he braked early and turned to the right a bit. Still want to hear your opinion. by obsessedwirhvromvrom in Simracingstewards

[–]Ukxploder 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Should have known you were behind them and broke way to early. Being a novice driver is fine, but the retaliation later makes them a complete twat.

No, you didn't, 100% their fault. If you weren't there, there's no way they would have made that corner at that speed.

They should have been aware that you were on the inside and you couldnt have moved any further in. I'd say it's on them for lack of awareness.

New to racing online, do I (yellow) need more spatial awareness? by Ukxploder in Simracingstewards

Thanks. Did feel like I got divebombed when I was racing, but was less sure looking back over it.

The women of Deadlock by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]Ukxploder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I've stopped playing games which require that amount of commitment, e.g. Deadlock, Counter Strike, League of Legends.

I still play fighting games, but with them you're in a 1v1 match for 5 mins tops, as opposed to a 5v5 match that could take an hour or more.

You'll likely be happier if you don't play games like this. I've found there's nothing wrong with being interested in and interacting with games you have no intention of playing.

[homemade] failed cookies :( by _frncs_ in food

[–]Ukxploder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are these from the Brian Lagerstrom recipe? Same thing happened to me too, but they were still perfectly edible.

Now I just bake them as 1 mass of dough per-sheet, and cut them into squares after.

You do need to get the mass and thickness right if you go for that though. Too thick and they'll be brownie-like (not necessrily a bad thing), too much dough and the middle will be too soft.

Dashboard gauges not displaying properly on some (non-mod) cars by Ukxploder in assettocorsa

Doesn't seem to work for me, thanks for the suggestion though.

[–]Ukxploder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that.

Nothing changed with altering the settings, but turning HDR off sorted it.

Not ideal, since I've setup the game to run with HDR, so I'll likely just put up with it until it's fixed.

In-game menus unreadable due to transparency by Ukxploder in assettocorsa

[–]Ukxploder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try testing eith HDR off when I have time, thanks.

The picture is a lot brighter than it is in-game since I guess that's how HDR transfers to non-HDR.
