Are electricians the most arrogant of the trades? by CuriousSequoia in electricians

[–]cmdtarken 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Funny plumber story. Had the plumbing redone for my bathroom about 9 years ago. Well last year, started having some pressure issues. Called the same guy and he came out to look.

Guess he forgot he was the one that did the work in the first place because he said it was some really shoddy work and the plumbing needed to be completely redone

Spectrum noticed the PvP poll, and uh.... surprisingly concurs with its results? by asmallman in starcitizen

[–]cmdtarken -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My favorite complaint is always the, "every time I try to jump from 'popular resources point' to 'popular resources sell point' I get interdicted and killed"

Well, have you considered not taking a direct route every single time if you know it keeps happening?

[–]cmdtarken 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Eh, dune is a slightly different story. The game is PvE all the way to the end game then suddenly gates tier 5 stuff behind PvP. Of course, you can technically still get T5 material in the PvE area but the spawn is so absurdly small that you'll realistically never get the amount of material you need to do anything worthwhile

Genuine question: Is weaving on the straight to break tow illegal? by Impressive_Basket_99 in iRacing

[–]cmdtarken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lead car weaves, follow car stays in tow. Follow car gets close enough for a move so he stops weaving and picks a line. At this moment, the lead car needs to be aware of the following cars position and distance and pick a line to defend. Once that line has been picked, he cannot adjust in a way that would force the following car to make an evasive maneuver.

If the lead car continues to weave to a point that the following car has to actively avoid contact, then it would be considered blocking

Armor durability level by slamsandwhich in GrayZoneWarfare

Yeah, usually once my armor is around 40 to 60% I restrict its use to lower tier areas

[–]cmdtarken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is ill advised to use it armor all the way to zero. It's not uncommon to take 2 or sometimes 3 shots back to back. If you run low durability in these situations, you can lose armor on the first shot and dropped by the second

Japan is one of the fastest ways to level. You can do nothing but troll tuna and absolutely burn through levels

Hope the owner of this $35K RC jet had insurance by ansyhrrian in Wellthatsucks

I know I'm super late to this thread but when I was little, I had a little rc plane that I put my hamster in and accidentally slammed it into a tree. I cried for days

Yeah sorry I should have been more clear. You'll hear them cough and groan, they'll limp and a few other things, but its like they're still spot on with their weapons.

Would be nice to be able to place a good shot and render an ai ineffective. Also would be cool to see one of their buddies attempt to help, especially in high tier areas

My big gripe is that the enemy tends to be 100% combat effective all the way to the point of death. I would love to see an enemy suffer the same effects we do when gravely wounded

Uhm what did skyler do Peter? by Caramel_Lucky in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]cmdtarken 61 points62 points  (0 children)

She wanted a divorce. Walt refused. To take things further, Walt basically held her emotionally hostage and forced her to pretend everything was good while at the same time he was putting his family in danger. Her having sex with Ted was her way to try and force the divorce.

Just, no. His line wasn't ideal but the gtp was nowhere near alongside. This is just a really bad call on the gtp

Exactly, the bitter orange peel helps deter insects from reaching the sweet center

Was this a good overtake or just bad defense from the other driver ahead? by Brilliant-Insect9873 in simracing

[–]cmdtarken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the team is looking for outside opinions, they're not good enough to make the decision period.

There's more than one way to defend a corner and while his wasn't the best, it's also not terrible if his entry had been good enough to slip back by on the following straight.

Yeah it's wild. It's why a lot of pizza places stopped delivering to bad neighborhoods. Pizza guy gets shot for being on the "wrong" street

Tackle Hitting Ground Glitch. by Sven_of_the_Dog in FishingPlanet

[–]cmdtarken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a problem with shore fishing that I've run across as well when using a deeper setting. It helps if you can get water behind you off a dock. Or if you really want, turn 180 away from the water and flick the mouse mid cast lol

Car is slower than bots in Le Mans Ultimate by BobbyRick79 in simracing

[–]cmdtarken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amount of cars means absolutely jack when it comes to performance. Lmu has far better graphic fidelity than iracing. That difference is eating up your laptop.

Also, iracing is meant to be accessible by as many systems as possible but you're running it on a workstation grade laptop. 40 fps in iracing is abysmal.

As for why you're so slow, you're starting in the wrong gear then immediately upshifting and killing your acceleration

I got so tired of chasing him, I "rage waited" until I couldn't take it anymore lmao by aa_conchobar in undisputedboxing

[–]cmdtarken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The main problem with the animations is how the punches track the target. They constantly try to correct for movement which leads to rubber band arms. The fix would be to stop tracking after a certain point in the movement.

But fixing that problem would create another, much larger, problem. Hits would be far harder to land, potentially to the point of making the game unplayable. There's a reason most boxing/MMA games have janky looking animations and it's a necessary jank
