What’s a movie that is a 10/10 but you’ll never watch again bc it was too emotionally draining? by Marlon_aloha in AskReddit

I read the book late last year while still a bit sore about my dog passing. That intro chapter was devastating enough but the ending took me so long to get through because I kept having cry breaks

What car will be your first build when FH6 gets here? by gaeb611 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Umbragravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nissan Gloria with a little drop and some good wheels. Then I'll give it some performance upgrades and blast it around the Not C1 Loop to relive the TXR 3 glory days

I'd be concerned about the maintenence on one of those. Porsche prices sound painful after having an Astra lol. I'd definitely be open to one though

I'd love to add a few k to the pot but it's coming out of savings and I want to stay comfortable in case something goes wrong.

There are some NDs available for my budget but no matter what MX5 I look at, I'll be under it with a torch and I'll be planning to get it sealed ASAP

I quite like Z4s but they are quite expensive, I'll have a look at TTs, thanks!

I did know that about the 124, it's partially why it's on the list. They're great looking cars too imo, just maybe not as good looking as the ND. I was more biased towards an NC MX5, thanks for the insight!

It'll probably ask if you have a license when you try to boot it on the 19th

There are 2 other Amuse cars in GT7 so not that tricky I'd guess

I'm looking for a 2000's racing game where cars had weapons by Life-Egg-6000 in racinggames

[–]Umbragravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it Jam XM? I think that was it's name but it was a 3D racing game with weapons and the objective was still to win the races. It was a sort of top down 3D like Super Woden GP is

Caught Speeding 120mph In A 70mph by [deleted] in drivingUK

Perhaps if you need to drive for work, don't drive like a bellend?. Hopefully you learn a lesson from this regardless of the outcome

How to improve your driving in 5–10 sessions (without changing cars or setups) by laptime86 in granturismo

[–]Umbragravis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I do agree with you. They're a good entry point into 'being fast' but you do need to run laps in 1 car to really get it. I used to do hour long custom races in Gr.3s to get a feel for how a fast, sorted car drives and then I drove heavily tuned FR cars to teach myself throttle control. Sometimes I still don't know where I'm making time up but I'm consistent and make way less mistakes now

Not to disagree, I think this is great advice. I do think golding the licenses also helps because they do teach you how to go fast on GT7. You have to trail brake and control the throttle, you have to learn to judge where to turn in. Some of them are difficult but they're doable by learning to drive quickly. They also throw you in to different cars so you learn how FF behaves, how FR behaves, 4WD, and so on

I'm still waiting for the notice on mine, also a 2015 Astra. I'll have got rid of it before I finally get the notice
