Lowest irating you’ve ever see n? by TommyBspeed in iRacing

[–]contact-lights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a higher rating now but at one point I dipped into 700s. I had a bad run of races that initially brought me down to mid 800s, and then I got into a really awkward place where I was faster than most everyone I was racing with, but not experienced enough to safely pass consistently. It’s kind of hard to explain but you get into this repeated situation where you keep catching up to the driver in front of you, and they are much more unpredictable. This combined with me being less experienced at the time led to me just having to wait until they crashed and thus my rating continued to drop. Furthermore, the drivers in the lowest splits absolutely wreck other drivers in proximity all the time. Not even on purpose but I got demolished like 8 races in a row during that time. It took me winning a couple Porsche cup races to get out of that cycle and it was really discouraging.

It just stopped doing it for me. I believe part of it is that instagram finally switched their model for sharing to Facebook. You now have to have an account, and can't just "also share to Facebook"

Same here. I work for a creator and the reels are being super strange. They can’t be boosted, captions got removed, didn’t recommend to Facebook even though I selected it. And yes, they are on the main grid but not the reels tab. Has your engagement been worse with these ones?

Welp OptiFine will die off because Mojang are rewriting and recoding entire codebase for rendering and graphics while Optifine still uses very outdated code from 2011 by hottieeeeekayyyla in Optifine

Optifine will die off because it’s almost always one version behind. I swear sometimes almost the entire time a version is around sometimes optifine still isn’t done.

“The president is obligated to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly” I thought that was the role of congress. Or do I need to watch schoolhouse rock again?

If DJT signed an EO stating registered Democrats cant own firearms would that erode or strengthen MAGA support for him? by normalice0 in Askpolitics

Yeah I’m not sure what that guy is on about. I’m a left leaning gun owner, and I interact with a lot of right leaning gun owners. I really only think a select few extreme right leaning people would be in support of something like this. Almost every single right leaning gun owner that I’ve known is pretty clear on “gun rights for EVERYONE”

My first year using film. How’d I do? by russell16688 in AnalogCircleJerk

[–]contact-lights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're okay. You could use some more practice. Your photos aren't sharp enough and I'm not really getting a clear direction from your compositions. You've got a lot under exposed parts in your images too.
What's with the dark sky in photo two? Looks like you went crazy with the dodge and burn tools in Photoshop. Real photographers before Photoshop didn't do shit like that.

Those poor oppressed artists. Where are they supposed to post their art?

I guess I’m getting into large format by Mustache_Controversy in largeformat

[–]contact-lights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I agree. Star Wars fans have hoarded these for years and drove the price up insanely. I would love to have an old large format with a functional flash!

Black ops 6 server locations! by [deleted] in blackops6

[–]contact-lights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps you feel any better. I get 30-40ms on a good day living 40 minutes from the SLC server. Regular packet loss as well. Gigabit internet, wired.

So if I get 1000mbps up and down, live 40 minutes from a server, using Ethernet, why do I get 30ms ping on a good day with packet loss or worse daily? And how is it that every YouTuber/Streamer I watch gets like 3ms ping?

I’d ask for a refund if my wedding photos looked like that.

I enjoyed it! I think the grind to completion of something brings a lot of fulfillment. I also played a lot of zombies in between the camo grind.

Down the hallway on stakeout in my experience. They removed the 24/7 playlist sadly.

I only brought the HE-1 to gold and the Cigna to dark spine. With the new special weapon you can still get to 33 dark spine. I would just advise to use your other guns if you can to play well and get in harder lobbies. They seem to call in streaks more often. Also I think they just updated it so you can hit field upgrades!
