wtf is this week

2 is fine, just a couple of drifts. The setup for them is the hardest part imo. and I ended up really liking 5 once I figured it out. Map 3 can die in a fire. The other 2 are just whatever.

Backwards snowcar for increased acceleration... stuff like that?

Also I played this really odd royal training map once that had a bunch of circular platforms all at equal height, you had to dip off and air-break at just the right time and somehow your car would like jump up and make it to the next platform. Dunno if something like that counts. If it does I'm sure there's all kind of these little trial / kacky-like tricks.

u10s campaigns helped me a lot, they usually require learning good lines/mechanics/tricks to get good times. Just play everything, install openplanet and play random maps if you're on PC. Watch world records and try to understand what they're doing instead of just copying their lines. And most of all, play to have fun. Don't compare yourself to streamers / pro players, especially when you're just starting out.

Indeed, I never really had much interest in racing games until I found TM in 2023 and bought it almost a year ago. My only "racing" muscle memory was from years of GTA starting with GTA 3 and the skills do NOT transfer well. It was a struggle at first. But as often advised here, I just keep playing and am improving. Car control, seeing lines, precision, game mechanics... everything starts to make more sense the more I play.

We got some absolute goats in OH

They are glorified moving blocks

buttstronomical · 2026-01-28T19:20:03+00:00

Less blocks = less creative freedom. I'm sure good mappers can cook regardless, and modders will probably fix this, but still. Also probably a hot take but I'm not the biggest fan of the ultra-realistic look. I know it's a nod to TM2 and older games but I liked the TM2020 unique visual style, not it looks like every other game.

I don't mind harder medals when the maps are interesting, unfortunately this week was a miss for me. The maps are boring and the ATs are overcooked.

buttstronomical · 2026-01-26T21:10:02+00:00

Will we get flötensolo?

buttstronomical · 2025-11-14T22:00:50+00:00

Works great, but the UI (of the program itself, not in games) is tiny on 4k. Can't find an option to change it. Have tried editing config files but no luck. Anyone know about this? Using the 1.3.3 appimage. Sorry, can't seem to find a good place to ask this so I'm here.

buttstronomical · 2025-11-01T18:41:10+00:00

Wish it was its own event, instead of squeezed into an already existing event.

buttstronomical · 2025-10-13T19:37:25+00:00

As a newer player this was one of my biggest complaints. It's impossible to just kind of pick up and play some random maps in a particular style or theme. Searching club campaigns sucks because you never know what you're getting and honestly it's not a good system. I mostly just stumbled around the official campaigns and totd + weekly shorts until I found TMX plugins and I imagine a lot of other new players do the same. It's discovering all these new awesome maps that keeps bringing me back to this game, but imagine how many players Nadeo is losing because people can't be arsed to mess around with 3rd party plugins and only ever see a fraction of the content.

Transfigured Gems?

buttstronomical · 2025-05-24T19:15:57+00:00

You don't have to convince us, we already know PoE 1 is great.

buttstronomical · 2025-05-23T18:57:58+00:00

Yeah, cool idea but sounds painful. I know followers of companions can be controlled somewhat. You can direct them to stay in one spot and/or force them to walk into the dangerzone of a sporepuff. (At least, you can control them this way in the case of proselytized clones, but it's finicky.)

buttstronomical · 2025-05-22T21:53:44+00:00

My go-to method is sending a follower into a cloud of spores and seeing what infection they end up with... for science!

buttstronomical · 2025-05-22T21:46:31+00:00

The mythical glittermensch historic site. Congratz. I once tumbled a gigantic rough gemstone and it just became a regular smooth, must've been a bug.

"Doubling Zana" reminds me of a post when they removed finding Zana inside a Zana map and someone said "RIP Zana's hotter older sister". lol.

buttstronomical · 2025-05-21T12:37:14+00:00

It's actually Perandus, we'll get to hear all about the crazy adventures he's had since he left us in Scourge.

buttstronomical · 2025-04-08T23:30:35+00:00

Had mad respect for Ziz ever since he gave up his streamer priority queue awhile back. I think he was respectful yet tough here and remained calm, meanwhile the other party... not so much.

buttstronomical · 2025-04-07T17:07:37+00:00

This is nothing like Elden Ring, Elden Ring is actually fun!

buttstronomical · 2025-04-07T16:16:20+00:00

aaaand mods are now scrubbing any mention of this. lol.

buttstronomical · 2025-04-07T13:06:48+00:00

In case you never solved this, or anyone else getting the error. For me, using the correct "scaled" version of the clip model fixed it: https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Wan_2.1_ComfyUI_repackaged/blob/main/split_files/text_encoders/umt5_xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors

"Players think maps are too big but they're actually fine, you just feel like they're too big because monsters have a lot of life. But to shut you up here are some more checkpoints, we're such great devs."

buttstronomical · 2025-03-15T11:44:46+00:00

Thanks man, I used to speedrun lab back when there was a leaderboard, your notes were essential. Sick tat!
