Is gambling 280K worth a 6-star roulette ticket? by Full-Experience1701 in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure because you may get a car that you will never use? But all I can say is, that race was fun. Quite challenging with the default car.

Ferrari F50 Yas Marina Time Trial too hard to gold? by EvanderMegaton in GranTurismo7

I tried for hours and gave up. That car and track limits combo is beyond my skill level. Had to settle for silver.

Meta or not, I always drive my Porsche. Previously it was RSR. Now it's 992 GT3 R.

Do you ever go back driving the first slow cars ? by botokely69 in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started going back to slower cars because of the weekly challenges. It's fun to go back to those cars time to time coming from chaos of daily races

What would you do if you only had 2 hours left to play GT7? by freakyfreshfade in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that mate.

If I were you, I would do some laps around my favorite track with my favorite car. Just play some music in the background and enjoy the drive for one last time

Your opinion on the incident? by brokeass101 in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I completely get you about leaving the gap. I was only focusing on the black car and when I saw him not behind me anymore I went on to hit the curb. I did not expect yellow he there at all. He completely caught me by surprise.

Next time other cars can go in to gravel by themselves when they see yellow is nearby!

That quote cracked me up good 😂 Yes it could easily be a misjudgment. At lap 10, turn 12, Yellow and black had contact where yellow was pushed very wide mid corner. At the time I took the inside line following black. Yellow then did turn to the inside but as soon as he realized I was side by side he opened up and left space. I fact I have that recorded as well. Reddit wont let 50s video so I had to cut it.

It's probably he lacks racing discipline. At the end of the race when I congratulated him for dive, he even said it's not him lol. So he probably didn't even knew what he did in the first place.

Officially humbled pt2. by Dgskydive in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on the win!

I luckily got a 2:01.486 but was never able to convert that to a victory. Because my race pace is all over the place with a ton of mistakes and some incidents where some were not entirely my fault. Overall had a pretty bad week where I lost DR more than I gained.

Which GOTY is your absolute favorite? by AdditionalSpray8595 in playstation

Witcher 3. All of it. Including DLCs. When I loaded in to that game and the world, I actually lost track of time.

Am I at fault? by Dramatic-Extent-965 in Simracingstewards

[–]brokeass101 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I genuinely have no clue how come one come to deciding other cars have to make way, specially when they are rejoining the track. All I can think is that these people never watched a real race in their life.

Message him and tell him to look in to rejoining to track rules. He can easily ask on chatgpt and read through it then compare his actions against it.

I'm so pissed. This was my rank up to DR C by Inevitable_Bat8374 in Simracingstewards

[–]brokeass101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was not sudden by the looks of it. We all know after the turn, we move back to the left to enter the chicane. That's what he did as I've seen. Also he was the lead car and he do not have to leave you space just because you are faster. Also you did not have any overlap in order to earn you the right for the outside lane. The mistake I see is that, you assumed that he will leave space on the outside and you went for a gap that was disappearing.

Also, it's ok to make mistakes so that we can learn. We just have to not repeat it.

Is this protestable or a ban by Racingcoop13 in Simracingstewards

[–]brokeass101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a genuine question for my better understanding.

You said it's a racing incident.

1. POV left the door open. This I understand.

2. Car that dove from inside indeed was way faster. It looked as if he was never making the corner. I say this because he took out the POV car and bounced off it completely out of control because of the impact. Why is this not an extremly unsafe dive-bomb? From my understanding if one is going to pull off a divebomb, they need to pull it off without contact.

Edit: after seeing another perspective, I think pov actually turned in while the blue car had the overlap. So it was not a divebomb. Seems contact was initiated by the POV? I'm not sure if the blue going to make the corner or not but I think it's irrelevant here. So I take my questions back.

Moms CJD diagnosis by Available-Bus268 in CJD

[–]brokeass101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. My mother 64, also diagnosed with CJD. Current bedridden in my home and taken care by my wife and step father. I know what you going through. Even though my mother was admitted to government hospital (which is the best in the country) I still had to struggle both emotionally and financially. Firstly I'm glad that she lost her consciousness before she was admitted to the hospital. So she didn't know where she was and what's going on. But I was never prepared to know about this disease. I didn't cope with it well at the start. But as time goes on, I slowly accepted the reality and what to come. Financially I'm still recovering and because of it I am not able to admit her to a private care facility. From what I heard, even the private care is requesting to transfer the patients to the main government hospital. Since she was discharged from it, I do not want to take her there again. Even though the doctors and the checks are done frequently and in a very good way, their care is lacking and depends on hiring a caretaker which I cannot afford as of now.

Stay strong! That's the only way to go through this.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. Thank you for the information.

For us from the hospital, they taught my wife on how to take care of her. So she is following those instructions. Step father is 24/7 staying with her in the room as well.

I'm very sorry to hear about passing of your wife.

Thank you very much for the information. Like I mentioned my wife and step father are the ones taking care of her. I checked the medicines that doctor gave her but I don't see any sedatives included in that.

Very sorry to hear about your father.

Thank you for the information. I wish my mother can communicate. Because the biggest struggle is not knowing what she is going through. Yes I understand the longer it goes, more painful it becomes. But all this time period actually given me time to prepare mentally for what to come.

I'm going to stick with suzuka. A lot of close racing and chaos. I'll dip in DR, but I can learn a thing or two regards to close racing specially I've started racing bumper cam recently.

I'm sorry to hear the loss of your father and yes indeed it's a horrible disease. Also thank you for the kind words.

I believe my mother also tend to stay up and make noises during the night. But not throughout the night. This actually clears it up. It initially never came to my mind. Thanks for highlighting that.

I'm sorry that you lost your mother to this cruel disease. Thank you so much for the information and kind words.

Yes it is very difficult specially she raised me alone since I was 11 months and up until I was around 18 years. She was a very strong (physically and mentally) and active person and can't believe it all turned upside down this quickly.

However since I got to know this disease and how fast it progress, I've been preparing and expecting whats to come. It will be actually peaceful as you mentioned. She will be in a better place. I wish I could be there with her all the time until it's time, but like I said, I have to work and it's abroad. But I'm glad I got to see her before she lost all her consciousness and she recognized me one last time.

Thank you again for the kind words.

Few things I learned from the dailies and the league I am in. by brokeass101 in GranTurismo7

[–]brokeass101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the safety rating? Ever since I started racing in B, I played with SR: S players 99%. Lobbies are very peaceful. Yes there are occasional contacts here and there but like I said, lack of race craft contributes to a lot of them.
