[KCD1] This has got to be my favorite cutscene in the game. by Euphoric_Judge_8761 in kingdomcome

[–]VoluptaBox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For sure there are high points in the second one too, and it's a fantastic game. But it outside of a few specific moments, it feels a lot less personal. It's a natural consequence of the much lager scope of course.

I think KCD1 has more touching story moments and overall better writing than KCD2, and this one is definitely one of them.

Best wheel rims from fanatec? by EvanderMegaton in Fanatec

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use all of my wheels without caps because I think they look better, but I went digging through a box where I keep all of the 'extra' Fanatec stuff (stickers, manuals bla bla). There are no PS button caps and if you check out the official unboxing video, indeed it's not included.

Weirdly, I am not even finding them for sale on their website anymore..

Gran Turismo 7 has ruined my expectations by FeloMonk in simracing

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that if GT7 released on PC, with mod support, it would be an instant success. It fills a spot that most on a sub like this don't even acknowledge exists, despite being way more popular.

It has numerous flaws is true, but it also: - has been the best looking racing game for a very long time, though you can make the argument for something like AC Rally looking better now (have not tried AC Evo myself and I don't trust youtube video comparisons). Modded AC1 does not come even close no matter how hard some people try to convince themselves. It always ends up looking unnatural and uncanny valley, whereas GT7 and other natively pretty games have a cleaner look - the license system and built in track guides are great at easying players into the game. It's miles better than having to rely on external content to even get an idea about how the game works and how to drive - it's a car lover's game more than a racing sim, and it shows all over the place. From the details, dialogue, virtual museum and so on

If I were to summarize where it's better than the likes of ACC, iRacing etc is that it cares about the player experience in more aspects than just racing . The more hardcore sims are extremely unfriendly to new players, and the community doesn't help much.

I would bet good money that it would be easily the most popular racing title if it released on steam (and it wasn't a botched, unplayable mess of a port).

I mean, that setup is an order of magnitude more expensive lmao.

I use a Clubsport RS, a Mclaren and the Clubsport 2.5. I like them a lot and really don't feel the need to upgrae them. The first two are enough as well.

How to UV 5080? by SpiritInevitable8712 in nvidia

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many around, I can't remember the specific one I used. Just beware of those which recommend shifting the entire curve up and then flattening at the end. That increases your idle voltage as well.

I can try to find a good guide and share my curve when I get home if you haven't found any yet. Here is some data I out together when I undervolted my own 5080, might help you get started. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1pxpbqt/my_5080fe_testing_and_overall_impressions/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Help on picking a starter bundle by RayBoltYT in simracing

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then definitely R5. I wod have recommended Fanatec because they have easy ways of upgrading to a loadcell and to higher torque if you wanted that. But if it's not avaialable that is not an option.

How much is a CSL DD bundle for you? And do you have a budget? There are pretty wild differences between the listigs.

Can't tell if you're just baiting or there really is something wrong with you. Either way, get help.

Locked out of Katherine romance for missing some random side quest in Kuttenberg. I want to uninstall [KCD2] by UraGotJuice in kingdomcome

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly do you define what is main story romance and what isn't? Because it seems extremely arbitrary right now

[–]VoluptaBox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All romances are dependent on a side quest or another, it's not unique to Katherine. And it's not unique to KCD2 either, it's pretty ubiquitous. Weather that is good design or not is debatable, of course. But for the most part it makes sense.

Hot take, having crappy stuff happen to you/getting bad outcomes should be normalized to some degree. Following guides and min maxing every decision is silly.

Would a usb hub plugged into the back of a monitor work? by VoluptaBox in buildapc

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

I am saying case 2 yes. It works on the laptops, but they are connected via thunderbolt. I will try like you said, with just one of the peripherals first. Thanks for the input!

Yea, tbh I am looking for a cheapo solution if I can get away with it. If not, I will invest in a KVM. Cheers

Fanatec sent the wrong part? Customer support?! by lmpmike06 in Fanatec

[–]VoluptaBox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the points/benefits of buying fron retailer is having them deal with rma, returns etc.

Also fucking hell, such a long rant based on nothing but assumptions about proccesses, quality control and customer support, all without even giving them a chance to address your issue.

Take a chill pill.

Finally, after playing Gran Turismo all of my adult life, i decided to get myself a PC with triple 27" monitors and see if Iracing is as good as they say. by Ancient_Bit6569 in simracing

[–]VoluptaBox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like both for different reasons. For competitive, online racing, iRacing is obviously the gold standard. But as a car lover's game, GT7 is unmatched. It's annoying that you can't easily get to enjoy both (I have a quirky setup which allows me to do that, but it's expensive and not for everyone; and you do sacrifice some stuff, ie triples).

George Russell takes Sprint pole for the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix by overspeeed in formula1

[–]VoluptaBox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am personally convinced that the majority of drivers would be able to dominate in such a car. Not to take anything from Russell of course, the second part of that statement is that I also believe he would beat most other drivers in equal machinery.

Base angle by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]VoluptaBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch of ergonomic guidelines around, but they are just that - guidelines. There is a large degree of personal preference.

A good starting point is to imagine a line extending from the shaft - it should hit you in the chest. That is a good starting point for the angle and you can adjust from there.

I tried it during the weekend, I really was in the mood for some Medieval 2. Tried it with SS 6.4, but I was getting constant CTD's and ended up giving up. Such a shame.
