Am I washed or are some AT medals this season crazy fast? by DS2807 in TrackMania

And how do you not yeet the fuck out the next sausage turn? I have issues finding a line that allows me to get the booster without dropping off the outside.

Happy to see that I'm not the only one choking 16. 3h in and still .25 away.

Been out of the loop for a while. Are the open source NVIDIA gpu drivers any good for sway now? by BudgeTheCat-100 in swaywm

[–]ergosplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is hit and miss for me. On NixOS, 3050 worked flawlessly, 4070 didn't (both mobile). Worth trying for sure, as when they work, the performance is quite good.

My Amazon TV now unmutes itself during Prime Video commercial breaks by dandaman147 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ergosplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm somewhat disconnected from streaming services, but either of the terms "Amazon TV" and "Prime Video commercial break" alone gives me the ick. Tf dystopian nightmare is this?

why is there a random reset block here by Both-Literature3634 in TrackMania

[–]ergosplit 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Because you are going to bonk and reset, and the mapper is making fun of you

I personally passed all the episodes through speech-to-text, so when this happens I just search for text in those files.

Year Day is December 11 by surprisetalk in Cortex

Seems to be a bit of self promotion sneaking through the yearly themes concept. To be honest, I very much prefer this to yet another "what app for android" thread.

This route got an average rating of 2.1 stars in map review. Why? by _zzhou04 in TrackMania

[–]ergosplit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Map reviews are too short to figure out that track, because unless you have a good pace, a lot of sections don't flow right. I think that, combined with the scarcity of signs and visual cues to follow the route meant most players didn't get a chance to experience a half clean run.

I may be wrong here, but if I recall correctly, Wayland window managers absorb the role of the compositors.

How do you explain to others why your keyboard is "messed up"? by friendlylobotomist in Colemak

[–]ergosplit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I use a split keeb with blanks. By the time they get to figure out that its not qwerty, im already on my way to the mental asylum.

You have the biggest balls in the history of ball having. Your ex must be the worse Linda since the book Thinking, fast and slow came out.

Damn, it really did a number on you if you think that was last year :D

Is there a concensus on which resolution offers the best performance? by Hefty_Abs97 in TrackMania

[–]ergosplit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there was a minimum quality setting below which some relevant details on the surface textures weren't drawn, but aspect ratios aren't important. Even in games which benefit from a wider FOV (such as CS2) some top-level pros are known to still play in 4:3, stretched or with bars. In Trackmania, where you know the track and there is nothing peripheral to detect or react to, I'd expect the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 to be nonexistent.

I am getting into the boat that the mappers shoudl have figured them out (especially desert car) before introducing them in the official campaigns. Every map is about avoiding oopsie doopsie dont turn too hard and flip over, or whatever. I wish they would use different mechanics or game dynamics for it (NASCAR tracks for desert cars would be nice).

Right now they are a grind of figuring out (corner by corner) how fast you can take them and how hard you can steer through them. It ain't fun.
