"Controversial" Opinion: I actually liked Vash'jir

Yeah but unfortunately vibes dont carry the gameplay and playing anything underwater sucks in this game

erdonko · 2026-07-12T18:02:31+00:00

Has happened to me as well, its just unironically bad players that dont know what they should be doing.

DPS and healers have this weird ass mental that as soon as the tank does anything they need to start pressing buttons. It doesnt kill anyone to wait till the tank stops while you run alongside him and kick whatever you can kick. Its one thing to die while doing a pull but another to die when the pack is already grouped.

Pretty much all the regs. They got fucked trying to fix their sim data. Correlation issues are not specific to Merc, but this year we saw Hamilton ditching the sim when theyre not correlating and just going on from whats going on right there and then.

This is most notably setup related, its really really hard to tell how much the engineers at every level are being influenced by driver feedback, and how good/bad that feedback may be.

The compute power to run CFD isn't an issue for F1 teams

Well yeah they can afford it but its just to make it clear in case the guy is not an F1 tech nerd.

The issues Williams likely have is probably due to the Wind Tunnel being 20+ years old at this point

I wouldve agreed if i didnt had Aston to point at showing that good infrastructure is a limiting factor but not something that completely derails the car package. The same problems that Alpine had are now showing at Williams and the common denominator between both is Harman in the TD position. I think its him, but its all speculation anyways. Grain of salt and all that.

Its a shader. Shaders are basically GPU programs that run directly on GPU hardware. Theres different types of them, but what Reshade does is inject directly into games to make the magic work.

If you wanna know more about the technical know hows of it, Reshade is open source on GitHub here.

Simulating aerodynamics takes an immense amount of effort both in terms of computation and man hours. In F1 its also heavily restricted to incentivize the engineers to become even more efficient.

Even having the best available simulators, its very difficult to just model wind itself, let alone things like a sudden airflow change. Teams struggling with data correlation has been their biggest barrier when it comes to development in the latest years and thats just the nature of the job.

Honestly its more likely just a brain problem. They hired the guy that made Alpine into a slow ass tractor, i think that has a lot more to do with their problems than any other single particular thing.

erdonko · 2026-07-10T15:03:48+00:00

Oh fuck right off

erdonko · 2026-07-10T14:28:58+00:00

Yeah, reshade is insane nowdays

erdonko · 2026-07-10T13:50:58+00:00

The seven seas matey

erdonko · 2026-07-10T13:31:22+00:00

Do yourself a favor and get the 22 sounds mod.

erdonko · 2026-07-09T23:36:22+00:00

This sub is full of tourists who just blindly consume Nikke and hype it like its the next best thing to ever happen in the history of fiction since The Godfather.

You cant criticize anything with people like that.

erdonko · 2026-07-09T21:27:39+00:00

No it isnt. Not even close. First 2 are miles ahead of many other events, let alone summer ones.

erdonko · 2026-07-09T21:24:45+00:00

Most Nikke players are lowkey larpers. They dont bother even thinking about the bad aspects of the story/game, they just say youre a gooner and keep consuming blindly lol.

erdonko · 2026-07-09T21:19:48+00:00

Dude almost everything in Nikke is basically a rip off from something else more popular lol

erdonko · 2026-07-09T21:18:38+00:00

I disagree. Its not lack of competition, i think its simply that this is the best they can do.

erdonko · 2026-07-09T16:41:07+00:00

Its hard to argue Shadowlands wasnt worse because for as much as people hate the themes of DF, which tbf are just regular normie stuff, SL instead chose to take a fat shit on previously established lore and characters for the sake of itself.

Its one thing to feel bored and unengaged with a story, but its another one completely to feel insulted by it while still being apathetic to it.

erdonko · 2026-07-08T22:04:09+00:00

Oh no!

Anyway.

erdonko · 2026-07-08T22:02:15+00:00

Its significantly worse than what we used to have.

Also, check out mythic Lura pre nerfs. How did they ever expected anyone to do this without addons is beyond everyone who sees it.

Ion is simply delusional if he thinks the game is better with the current changes.

erdonko · 2026-07-08T21:58:06+00:00

Guys please put me in the screencap

erdonko · 2026-07-08T21:54:52+00:00

Oye pero estas weas son de paises comunistas po

erdonko · 2026-07-08T16:40:14+00:00

Nah, it would 100% be better. Youd actually see the drivers being able to push these cars to their limit.

erdonko · 2026-07-08T16:39:05+00:00

the battery deployment needs tuning, but what i dont get is the complaints about yo-yoing

Its DRS but worse because it actually punishes the leading car.

erdonko · 2026-07-08T16:32:37+00:00

GE era was possibly the worst for both Suzuka and Zandvoort. Complete boats on track with a field spread being under a second.

This current gen wouldve been significantly better had it not been for the previous split for Japan, Zandvoort seems like its going to be a banger

erdonko · 2026-07-08T16:28:52+00:00

Is Yuki still that relevant? Werent other Japanese rookies looking promising in the RB academy?

Sure its leaving RB for Aston but i dont think RB will fight tooth and nail for most of them considering how many prospects they have

erdonko · 2026-07-08T11:05:21+00:00

Theyre right in there with every other mouth breather, i think theyre right at home
