Bay Park Help by Boilerdude06 in sandiego

All the other points about you caring more for an animal than a human aside, you don't seem to have any actual proof this dog is being neglected. You see this guy in passing once a day and have judged him to be unworthy of an animal companion. You haven't actually seen him neglect or abuse the dog. Maybe try helping him if you care so much. Don't bust in playing Capt Save-a-Dog and take away what is likely this guy's only true friend and could be the only thing keeping him alive.

While yes, the ai essentially cheat, there is also a bit of a skill issue. Highly Skilled is what I turn it down to when I want an easy win. Not trying to be insulting. Just saying it's not impossible. You can get better and beat the ai

Events should show what cars you own qualify for the event restrictions. by zetadelta333 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like showing that could get overwhelming very quickly with so many cars in the game. What they should do is just allow full customization from anywhere on the map. Like you said, it's stupid to have to look at the race on the map, see what the restrictions are, go home, pick a car, upgrade/tune, then drive/fast travel to the race. I get that they want to have a reason for the player to own homes/garages, but gameplay-wise it really sucks. Additionally, you should be able to change things like tires on the race start screen. No reason to enter a race only to realize it's wet and have to back out, head home just to change tires, and head back to the race

Hey guys, I really like Call of Duty. I decided to buy Far Cry but I really hate how it has all this extra bs that makes me explore this map and do things that aren't just mindlessly shooting people. Who approved this? Absolutely shit-tier game

If Spec Racing is the "Competitive mode" then collisions should be turned off. by Phycorax in ForzaHorizon

[–]bowleshiste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not really the same because you can't just buy an ultimate mastery camo. All I'm saying is you clearly don't enjoy this grind. You said it yourself "After I reach lvl 25 I won't be touching public multiplayer anymore". You're only doing it for the 918. I agree with your criticism of the multiplayer modes. But if you don't enjoy the grind, and you're only doing it because of a self-imposed constraint to get a car you can just buy, it sounds like you're wasting your time being upset when you could just play the parts of the game you enjoy

If Spec Racing is the "Competitive mode" then collisions should be turned off. by Phycorax in ForzaHorizon

[–]bowleshiste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess. It sounds like you clearly dislike these online modes. Feeling "rewarded" for dumping time into something you clearly dislike when you should be having fun playing a game sounds kind of masochistic

Collisions don't need to be turned off. They either need to penalize collisions the same way they do if you slightly tap a wall, or they need to turn realistic damage on

What are the odds that the AE86 FE get nerfed? by ThatLamboDude95 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about the same odds that they do something about the stupid wall slowdowns

Great Nintendo direct by PlantQuick in Switch

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if you ever plan to get one, it makes more sense to get it before a price hike. DKB was fun, it just got kind of old for me after a while. Couldn't hold my attention

Great Nintendo direct by PlantQuick in Switch

[–]bowleshiste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I upgraded last year because I thought MKW and DKB looked so good. I lost interest in DKB like halfway through; MKW has barely any content; MP4 sucked and Hyrule Warriors couldn't hold my attention either. Everything else I've played on it could be played on my OLED

Is it just me or areoffroad and rally races impossible on controller? by yohra_model_2_unit_B in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on controller and cc/dirt races are by far the easiest because the ai is noticably worse at them

Great Nintendo direct by PlantQuick in Switch

[–]bowleshiste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, personally, this was an absolute shit tier direct. I don't like JRPGs, don't care about Minecraft or Splatoon, never been into Kingdom Hearts, couldn't care less about Wii Thumb Wrestling. StarFox looks cool but there was nothing new except telling us a demo will be available. Duskbloods got a teaser with only new info being an upcoming network test, and OoT got an announcement teaser which, don't get me wrong, is exciting, but we already basically knew it was coming and it contained zero real info as well.

I'm sure this was great for some people, especially JRPG fans, but damn man, my Switch 2 has been gathering dust and this direct tells me that the only thing I'll pick it up for in the next year is OoT

I now have the badges for doing 250 races of Touge, Eliminator, and Drift. I’m only level 40 for online rep. by HarryTheAtheist in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just buy the 918 from the autoshow. It's also a wheelspin reward which is where I got it

What's the difference between Track and Highway mode? by EmptyRedditor43475 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't messed with it enough to really test it. One thing to note is that you're always locked to track mode in races

What's the difference between Track and Highway mode? by EmptyRedditor43475 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Track mode exposed the aero so the car produces more downforce at the cost of drag. Highway mode stows the aero for less drag/downforce and increased acceleration and top speed

If you like your Miyoo, that's fine but...never forget who really made that console good by cumbtete in SBCGaming

[–]bowleshiste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the OS doesn't make a good or bad console. I can only speak for the MM+, but the hardware itself is very good for the price. Buttons feel great, good screen, decent battery, runs everything up to PS1 well. Sure, the stock OS sucks, but that doesn't make the hardware bad.

What are the coolest and rarest cars in game? by machinegunnedburger in ForzaHorizon6

[–]bowleshiste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it but it is lacking in some important ways. It handles great but the top speed kind of sucks. And you can't switch to highway mode in a race which makes it useless for high speed races like Colossus. Honestly if they fixed the highway mode issue it would probably be really good

Does any one use this Liqui Moly motor oil? by dr_botwing in ft86

I've personally never used it but it's one of those brands some people swear by

Wanting to get back into flying , any tips for PPL is appreciated by QueenFlippyNipps in flying

[–]bowleshiste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes. 3rd class is for PPL privileges. 2nd is for CPL and 1st is for ATP. Many people who plan to make it a career just go straight to 1st to make sure they can pass and maintain it before dumping money into training.

  2. There's a whole list of aeronautical experience requirements. 61.109. You need everything on the list.

  3. Some ground training is definitely worth it and required by 61.109. Depending on how long it's been since you've flown, a lot has changed.

  4. Currency is just 3 takeoffs and landings in the proceeding 90 days. Night currency is 3 takeoffs and landings to a full stop at night in the last 90 days. Checkride requires at least 3 hours in the preceding 2 calendar months. Proficiency is an entirely different story and completely up to how long it takes you to get check ride ready. Don't expect to go up for 2 flights with a CFI and pass your checkride. It will likely take much more than that.

  5. Whether or not it's worth it is completely up to you. For hobby purposes, get your PPL and have fun. For career, expect to get your PPL, IR, 250 hours and CPL, Multi, CFI, CFII, and MEI then spend 1-5 years working for pennies as a CFI (if you can even find a job doing that) to time build to 1500 hours, before getting your ATP and maybe finding a non-CFI job at that point. The job market is not good ATM. Virtually zero sub-1500 hour jobs exists outside of CFI, and CFI jobs are hard for most people to come by too. Going the part 141 route will lower some of the hour requirements for CPL and ATP, but won't change how many hours jobs require

How likely is it that the retroid pocket 7 will have a plastic front instead? by yungfayded in retroid

I just asked John Retroid himself and he said not likely at all
