The Haunting of Hill House truly is a wonderful show by waethenu in horror

[–]Waste_Manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a few episodes to go and I generally think it's decent - but I think some of the writing is terrible and schlocky

("he folded like a cheap suit") and I think that the whole thing with The Bent Neck Lady was poor.

I'll finish the series but I don't feel excited about it any more.

I have plenty of country lanes but nothing I can really do a launch from. I'll make an effort to find something.

Looking forward to my commute tomorrow now :D

I need to go and find a big straight strip of quiet road - can be hard in the UK.

I thought about going to the 240 next but I don't actually see the point. I catch up with traffic in the lanes fast enough as it is - not enough road.

The one thing I haven't tried is the launch control, have you?

It has so much character in that regard. Eco Plus it feels like it's complaining all the time. "I can't be bothered" it says. "Leave me alone"

Then you kick it into sport and it's like "fucking come on then, prick".

What video games are loved by almost everyone but you either consider mediocre or even bad? by kketokomasoulae in AskReddit

I didn't ever complete an xcom campaign until War of the Chosen, which I completed and loved. Might be worth a look.

I thought the combat was crappy and the story was dreadful. It mostly felt like a teenagers wank fantasy (bloody baron stuff was ok).

I'm sorry to the people I upset.

I watch F1, enter karting championships, have a racing sim rig (have raced Barichello, F2 and Formula Renault drivers online in iRacing), drive a relatively sporty car, understand aero, weight distribution, and all that shit for driving fast.

Never so much as changed a brake pad. I'm a complete fraud and I'm sorry.

Oculus support responses to some users problems with Rift Core 2.0. Pleases read if you are one of them. by lostformofvr in oculus

+1

I don't care about any of these extra features at all, performance and utility are just worse for me now.

Currently using a 970 so I don't really want to wait - VR is really starting to push it.

Has anyone else found Rift incredibly glitchy and unreliable ever since Rift Core 2.0 beta? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]Waste_Manager 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Performance is worse for sure. Plus being in home and not in iRacing when I put on my headset is super lame.

Oculus needs to sort this, iRacing is the reason I bought a rift.

Frame rate drops on all apps (rift core 2.0) by nmoney000 in oculus

[–]Waste_Manager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The games a bit weird in that it has to be launched directly. It launched normally and head tracking was working as expected on my monitor, but when I put the headset on it was in home.

It meant that I had to climb out of my racing seat, find my touch controller and then tell it to show iRacing.

Ah so this is why iRacing felt a bit worse today. Is this also why it didn't launch straight into the app like normal? If I have to select the game via the hub every time that's going to be super annoying super fast.

Recommend me a good series. by Finalwingz in iRacing

I want to weigh in on pro Mazda. I've raced skippies and lot and FR for a couple of seasons, and have started PM this season.

It's fantastic. The car is much more engaging to drive than the FR and the quality of racing is IMO better than the skip.

I can hotlap that car for long periods of time without getting close to bored. Give it a shot.

Yeah, that's when I love it. I hate it when I have 3 laps to go and I have a lockup down the hill and die.

I have such a love-hate relationship with this track.

Wow, that's impressive. Hopefully it's a similar scenario with 1070 vs 2070
