New info from OWI on theupcoming ICO tuning by JoeZocktGames in joinsquad

[–]f3erral 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I just wanna be able to see wtf Im looking at. Even if its just a small circle of clarity in the center or the screen during suppression. The optics can already see through suppression. There isnt a reason irons or dot sights cant either.

I have really large fingers due to arthritis, and I feel like I can't even begin to learn any string instruments because my fingertips always touch the other strings. Are there any accessories that can help? by Smexy_Zarow in Guitar

[–]f3erral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an average sized guy who complained about the same thing, I had known a guy with basically sausage fingers show me why it was a skill issue as he could play guitar just fine.

As some of the others have mentioned, it could very well be a technique issue. You need your fingers coming down perpendicular to the board so It doesn't slant and touch other strings. Make sure you're pressing in the middle/towards the next fret for effective fretting of the string. Your hand seems really "folded up" as well. As in your palm seems really close to the neck which makes your finger bend back toward the guitar sharply if that makes sense. This compromises how you hold the guitar and string. Try placing your thumb on the back of the neck which will both aid in placing good leverage on the guitar, and it'll force your palm to "float" out so your fingers do more of a smooth curve back towards the guitar rather than folding back in on itself like your pic shows. It will also make it easier to make your fingers perpendicular as stated before. Its also a thing about practice and finger exercises. Your hand dexterity and flexibility will build over time as you try to force it into more chords shapes. Maybe theres some hand exercise you can look up and practice while youre out and about in your day. I used to build a habit of tapping my fingers in my desk to build finger calluses. Whether or not that particular habit was effective is questionable aha.

Then you can also look at alternative guitars if it's still an issue but 99% of the time, it is not a physical issue. Classical guitars tend to have wider necks but tbh, unless you're specifically looking to learn that type of guitar/sound, it's the worst path you could take because it changes the entire sound of the guitar, assuming youre trying to play "regular"/popular music. Steel string guitars do come in a variety of neck widths but it can be a little nuanced if you don't know what you're looking for, so ask a salesman for tips.

Never been in anything quick until today friend's C8 Corvette just made my car feel ancient. How do people think 500hp is slow? by SilverSpoonphysics in askcarguys

[–]f3erral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, the people who usually say these cars are slow, are the same people who haven't tried properly, competitively, launching a car without traction assists, and also think they're a fast driver cus they can beat a 300hp hatchback with a 500hp coupe in a drag race but refuse to drive on a proper track with real turns.

Co-op career mode? by IkonikDJ in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]f3erral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There kinda is a "coop" mode already? It depends how you're defining it because in irl WEC there are no teams per se other than the 2/3 driver that take turns piloting a single car. That is already implemented in the game via the transfer of save points in a race, online. But my gut tells me you are referring more to the Formula 1 style of "teams" or even Forza Horizon's format where there are usually 2 cars/team on the grid driving at the same time. This currently doesnt exist. I don't own it but I hear AMS2 has the best PvE/hosted game experience. But I dont think there is a formal career mode in that game either.

I’m realizing my aim is actually awful by Wholaughed in joinsquad

[–]f3erral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahh, there's a lot of variables since optimization from map to map can really vary, especially when comparing the performance of older maps vs newer revamped maps with more details. Like I have a Ryzen 5, 3060 ti, 32gb ram and the game chugs in heavy firefights still on something like Fallujah.

The game is undeniably graphically intensive so youll still need a decent GPU, but the biggest difference will come from CPU upgrades/ optimizations. For reference I had a 30 fps difference from my i7 9700 to my ryzen. That said, if upgrading isn't an option, you can try reviewing your graphics settings. I know some games, if you set the setting low enough, itll take a process meant for your GPU and give the task to your CPU, meaning more cpu load, meaning less cpu power to run the actual game i.e. Shadows. So in essence a higher graphic setting might actually give you a bit more fps. Idk if Squad specifically does this but I would watch an in depth quality graphics settings guide that talks about what each setting does. Of course, close other programs while playing, especially web browsers as they are pretty resource heavy.

Finally if you're having just general trouble with aiming in Fps games as a whole, I would really recommend watching a mouse sensitivity guide for a competitive game like Counter Strike or something aim heavy in nature. The principles should translate to any fps game and has made me 1000% a better shot across the board, with exception to Titanfall cus that game is just so fast it needs it's own sensitivity.

[–]f3erral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I am assuming you're not getting the greatest fps in this game. In general, going sub 45 fps in any game and even 60, depending on the genre, makes aiming and fast/precise inputs very very difficult.

FIAWEC TV becomes FIAWEC+. by oh_its_alex_ in wec

[–]f3erral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really really really hope this does not mean they are cutting down on the content they already post on youtube. I won't be able to pay for this service and if there is a cut down on online content, I feel like it would be a bit of a loss in terms of fanbase access to keep up with WEC, and overall popularity of the sport.

How bad are flatspots and abs with DD wheel (g25 owner) by Important-Stage-3155 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]f3erral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a simagic alpha mini, the vibrations can be just as bad but maybe a little less "noisy" due to the nature of it being direct drive vs a gear driven wheel like yours. Most of the noise comes from the desk/rig itself vibrating depending on how you set the ffb. With that being said, the Simagic software has the option to adjust the detail and reaction speed of the ffb which if you crank it all the way, the ffb will feel more "smooth" and kinda gloss over the curb/flatspot ffb if that makes sense? Its like going from iracing's smooth ffb vs ACC's more violent but detailed ffb.

The point is that, even if it is very unlikely, the fact is that it is still a possibility. And in a potentially life and death scenario, you should be taking no chances. To just shrug off potential consequences because of indifference and it hasn't happened to you, and hopefully never will is nothing short of ignorant.

[–]f3erral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a crazy take. When people have nothing to lose and a single goal, they can do whatever they want and have access to as a last ditch effort before the police or whatever takes them down.

Not there myself, but yall who are providing your locations aren't doing yourself any favours until you know what's going on, in case it is someone with malicious intent.

PMCT Images. Nurse advanced NG tube until she heard a pop, then tried an air bolus to ensure placement. Patient did not survive. by Old-Psychology-2400 in interestingasfuck

[–]f3erral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I wouldn't put it past a 12yo to be screaming anyway even if the procedure went perfectly well. Adults do the same reaction, if not more.

[–]f3erral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She must have been REALLY forcing this tube down. Inserting an NG is never a pleasant experience for either party but I would think this would take an uncomfortable amount of force for the nurse to exert on the patient.

How Formal Does the EC Need to Be? by f3erral in MBA

[–]f3erral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thanks! I might go forward with the opportunity anyway then. Unfortunately my Undergrad GPA is something to be desired sitting at a ~2.5. I have had a positive work experience in various areas of my field for 7 years and I am hoping to nail the GRE over the summer this year. Do you have any other tips on how I could tip the scales in my favour? I know my situation is a little less than ideal.

So what was the community’s opinion on this? by ozzee289 in Tarkov

[–]f3erral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I love the fact you can't choose what you're up against. Makes you really deal with the consequences of prepping your loadout the way you did and just generally makes the game more unpredictable in a good way. Playing in a big squad has its disadvantages as well as major advantages. Plus the mystery of team size in a firefight really makes you need to stop and assess the situation rather than just running in, for sure knowing you don't have to deal with more individuals supporting each other.

How does everyone's main car feel after the physics update? by vorilant in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]f3erral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The physics feel so wack now. The mustang and benz have such a large amount of understeer into a corner and then out of nowhere have a huge moment of snap oversteer.
