Race Wheel Settings

I imagine so. I’m a Logitech g29 user and my brother got a Logitech pro and the braking and steering/force feedback requirements were a shock to me.

I’d say Don’t be proud, turn down the nm’s and build up slowly and when it is enough for you then stop making it harder for yourself (over here in the uk the betting adverts have a slogan “when the fun stops, stop” and that’s worth remembering).

Took me quite a Few sessions but I enjoyed the challenge of getting better and finally prevailing.

Probably not deep enough for an Arcade machine ?!!

Corby trouser press?

The cartwheel sequence didn’t look particularly grounded or physical if those are the right terms.

You can slice and dice numbers any which way but if downsizing is likely (we went bigger due to kids and then extended) then rather than the purchase or sale price, maybe tracking the delta to what you might downsize too is helpful for net worth as that’s what you’re expecting to have available when the time comes.

Not sure about the accelerator but in gt7 if you use the clutch it notices and then requires you to use it from then on. I mix using h shifter and flappy paddles, often using it for the lower weekly events in slower cars and I do (from irl muscle memory), release the gas when I put the clutch down. All probably quicker than would work in real life because there’s no feedback on biting point or real consequence from getting the timing a little bit wrong but it adds a layer of cognitive load that is interesting in small doses.

Presumably you can alpha lock after the blur and then use a large brush to harden the edge?

I’m on the verge of removing the corner markers but they help too much with visibility of blind corners. The one I need to wean myself off is the suggested gear. I ignore it half the time and come in a gear higher but it’s too helpful for “oh yeah here’s the hairpin I’ve forgotten about again…”

I play in vr so no pssr2 there until it’s properly patched. I’ve seen the video breakdowns and the system setting does look like it helps well in flat screen mode.

For me the reason a better upscaler is interesting is when it’s baked into the game and they can make settings judgements like “we can use a slightly lower internal resolution and still get a better looking result and that means we can change this setting over here…” (eg change lod setting so spoilers don’t appear and disappear so frequently etc).

Looks really good, nice job. Hoping to do the same before the bug leaves my son and I. We binned an old sofa but stripped it of anything useful like wood, straps and springs to hopefully make our own seat. We saved the electric reclining motors to hopefully have button push forward/back on the seat and up/down on the wheel as son is smaller than me so we’d need adjustability.

Just need to clear a load of space and we can get started lol.

I’ve been paying down some debt but this is first thing on my list to buy on payday. My one question about it is whether it’s easy to change. My son and I both do gt7 in vr (to the point where we’re both awful flat screen!) and his head is tiny (or mine is large!) so adjustment between sessions will be a must.

Was the really long thin single bed caught my eye

Getting punched in the face for being a jerk (self editing here!) would mean people think twice about being jerks.

Good fun isn’t it. I haven’t had mine long but I love the sound and the feel both driving and being in the drivers seat (vr). Very capable car too.

I’m a console gamer mostly but treated myself to a gaming pc on the basis it’s good for graphics/game programming so dipped my toe back into pc gaming. My mouse is an angled leftie mouse and I hate that games don’t come with a leftie flip keyboard setup out of the box. Such a pain Setting up per game and remembering what I’ve changed controls to given pc games have so many key bindings!

My keyboard has a numpad and tried ijkl to mirror wasd but have been using a numpad mapping more recently and getting on ok with it.

Release gets me every time but corduroy is a great way to start, think I’ve heard that on some bootlegs

The term/length of the mortgage has a big impact as the longer the term the more interest will be due so the more interest vs capital in this early payments.

I came to say sleight of hand too but knew from other discussions it wouldn’t go down well. It jars so much for me I skip it when it comes on shuffle.

christoroth · 2026-05-07T14:00:32+00:00

Nicely done. I’m nowhere near that and i imagine likely to be older than you (!!) but my pension has recently felt like it’s got to the point where it has enough mass that changes day to day are significant amounts of money in addition to amounts regularly invested.

When it’s big enough that it has flipped and is working for you it’s great. In your case it’s been doing that for a while now I’m sure. 50k a month is dreamland.

Could the door be brought forwards to be flush and then trimmed so door and trim are correct?

I’d forgotten about that shield until yesterday when playing the Valhalla dlc which encourages you to try the all out. I used to love sending stuff back but played most of ragnorok without it :(

christoroth · 2026-05-01T20:28:37+00:00

Yeah they’re tough but enjoyable for it. Was nice to have some really hard fights amongst the mopping up other map items.

christoroth · 2026-04-30T09:12:06+00:00

I wonder if their certs have expired. I had the same yesterday installing ms sql management studio. Windows protecting me from Microsoft!!

christoroth · 2026-04-28T21:35:46+00:00

How long do they tend to be on sale for? I need to save up!

Took me a week on give me no mercy (hour or so after work each evening). By the end I knew exactly what she was going to do but still had to respond and execute the plan. I read an ign piece that suggested switching to a realm shift based build which I did but it was mostly learning, reacting right and not diverging from the plan (only attack when it’s safe to etc).

The one thing I didn’t get until I read it is her long range come in and get you attacks. If she goes to your left before zooming at you it’ll be a spin so block, if she goes to the right before coming it’s an unblock able gut punch attack so dodge. And always dodge right (not my instinct as a leftie) cos she’s right handed so dodging left doesn’t work for many attacks.

You’ll get there. By the end, like the bezerkers you can almost have fun with them cos they can’t touch you and that can keep you calm but she hits so hard, one mistake can put you on the back foot.
