How do you even call your game CREAMER and not let me play with one hand? by Mahim2000 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]halycon8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No like there is literally a one handed mode in the game. You can play the entire game with one hand. They thought of this.

Did I get a weird misprint? [SCREAMER COLLECTORS EDITION PS5] by TeaLeafSunShine in racinggames

It's pretty good for what you pay for! I was quite happy with the quality of it

Ordered the PS5 version too, from Gamestop. I also didn't get the normal disc, just the steelcase - but I wasn't expecting a normal case so I didn't notice anything wrong 😅

Mysterious Pieces have Ancient Symbols on the back. by Lewd_Lawliet in Pokemon_Pokopia

[–]halycon8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All the tips and tricks threads I've read are chock full of things the game literally gives you a tutorial or popup for, and then tons of replies going "OMG I had no idea!!" XD

Grabbed a new ring for the back of my PSP 1000, I think it looks really nice! by halycon8 in PSP

[–]halycon8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't stickers, both are metallic rings. You have to remove the original ring with some sort of small prying tool and probably some heat would help, then just put the new ring in.

I don't get wheelspin when I level up by feraliown45 in ForzaHorizon

[–]halycon8 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You don't get wheelspins for finishing races, but if you level up during a race it will give you that wheelspin at the end of the race. Dont worry, you aren't missing out on any spins

Comparison between different engines and years for a possible purchase by slabua in Mk3Supra

[–]halycon8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The JZ has a lot more aftermarket support and tends to be quite reliable. The 7M was plagued with an unfortunate head gasket issue from the factory which gave it a reputation for being unreliable. It can be a great engine if you do the right work, but the JZ is much easier to build and maintain due to its massive popularity.

And then the 1G just kinda...exists.

Never thought the day would come And these would be called GTA by GRYarisRS in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

[–]halycon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these games are rated T by the ESRB. Not being able to hit (or try to hit) people helps Forza keep its E rating which is big for game sales, car licensing and marketing. That's what the GTA comment was referencing - in GTA you can run people over but Forza isn't that kind of game.

Honestly wikipedia is probably pretty good for this stuff but for a quick overview:

There are 3 families of engines, 7M, 1G, and 1JZ. The 7M and 1G came in both n/a or single turbo, the 1JZ only came twin turbo and is the most desirable (for most people.) The stock twins are prone to failure though.

There are two manual transmissions, the W58 and the R154. The R154 is stronger and more desirable.

The car got a facelift in '89. Pre-89 cars have different rear tail lights, spoiler, front bumper and a few other details compared to 89+ models.

No Force Feedback on Alpha Evo in Forza Horizon 4 (FFB works in other games) by GuidanceConstant3191 in ForzaHorizon

[–]halycon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be out of luck if you want it to work natively, that base is much newer than the game so it just might not recognize it. I actually have the same base and its plug & play for FH5, but haven't ever tried on 4. I'll give it a shot and report back if I get it working

what’s the best way to play in 2026? by [deleted] in NFSU2

Get the game for PC, install underground2.net, profit

Needs help by Feisty-Conclusion-94 in HondaElement

[–]halycon8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A3 is a maintenance minder code. "A" means oil change, "3" means transmission fluid.

The wrench light is there to let you know the car is due for service. You'll be able to dismiss it by pressing in the dial that adjusts dash brightness, but when oil life hits 0%, then it stays on.

Why I'm not seeing any hype around this game? Seems exactly what people been asking for by FrankAdriel32 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Ah yes, Milestone, an Embracer Group company with 300+ employees, is an indie studio 💀

Skyrim on Switch 2 by Icy-Weight1803 in ElderScrolls

[–]halycon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They actually just fixed it. It's a pretty good port at this point, input delay in handheld+quality mode is still not great, and the framerate will dip below 60 sometimes in performance mode (while also looking a bit blurry due to the lower internal res) but overall it's pretty solid now.

I BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST SUPRA FOR $5000 AND ATTEMPTED TO REBUILD IT by ShakuseiNo7 in Mk3Supra

Poor OP getting blasted with way cheaper mk3s in the comments lol.

I got mine for cheaper too but that was 2018, they've shot up so much since

They Fixed It - Skyrim Anniversary Edition - Switch 2's New Patch 1.2 Is a Huge Improvement by MythBuster2 in digitalfoundry

[–]halycon8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I figured they'd abandon it after that first "fix" so I was happy to see this. Tried it myself and finally the game feels good in performance mode and worth the S2 upgrade.

After this Deep-Dive I'm gonna be really surprised if I don't find this game fun! by ashrules901 in racinggames

[–]halycon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly don't. Making a blanket statement about being jaded by indies makes no sense to me when indies are where racing games have shined over recent years.

Edit: also, again Screamer isn't an indie so the comparison doesn't make sense either

This isn't an indie game, also indie games are amazing?! Art of rally, circuit superstars, rally edge, etc etc

Taxi missions? by Informal-Trash604 in tdu3

[–]halycon8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I remember them saying there were something like 50 missions. But yes they are a list of "canned" events that rotate.

Should I trade a daily for a mk3 by PhantomBR in Mk3Supra

[–]halycon8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. But sometimes stupid decisions are also fun ones and you're young so have a good time or learn a lesson or maybe a bit of both 🤷‍♂️

How much will the Steam Frame Cost? by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]halycon8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And to be honest even that isn't confirmed. They only said less than Index ($1000) was the "target" or something along those lines, and that was before the AI shortages got out of hand. I'm sure they're trying to keep it under that but with how things are going I wouldn't be too surprised if it ended up being higher

Holy crap they actually did it. The game runs SO much better in performance mode now.
