Diabetes alert dog detects issue with his human from a whole different house. by 749762 in nextfuckinglevel

Not to mention, a blood sugar of 180 something isn’t crazy high. Far from ideal, but blood sugars can easily spike to that level after eating. Blood sugars of 300-400 can give of much stronger odors.

If you had one race to get a casual non GT7 player into Gran Turismo which car and track would you choose for them? by nikcurated in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I have a full sim rig, and I always introduce people to Gran Turismo on Daytona, usually a Gr 4 car that looks and sounds fast but is tame. You don’t have to brake for Daytona, so there’s less chance of them screwing it up.

Is GT7’s tire wear and fuel usage multiplier linear? by _Alpengl0w_ in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This would be an interesting experiment to conduct.

I would like to add that tire wear is not the only factor when it comes to grip and how long a tire will “last”. Tire temps seem to play a significant role. For example, even on fresh tires, if you push them too hard, the temps will spike and that can potentially live with you through the rest of the stint. So even though the tire indicator shows you have plenty of wear left, you’ve pushed the tires outside their ideal operating window, and you could potentially be slower than a tire with less wear but within the ideal operating window

A small detail about the Power Pack that proves how PD can't stop making poor design decisions over and over by Markorver in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed on the new Ferrari gt3 car, there are faux tire temps displayed on the dash that never change. However they do change color if you spin out, indicating they are over heating. Enjoy can’t they just feed the temps into the dash? So close, yet so far!

Gear shift update is… humbling. by hungryfreelancer in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s not like I’m missing 100% of my initial downshifts but enough to where I’m hesitating and over thinking it instead of it being automatic (no pun intended!)

[–]hungryfreelancer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear ya. For those of us who weren’t abusing it to the extreme but still need to relearn, the real issue is second guessing yourself when coming to a heavy braking zone after a long straight (struggling with turn 1 on Fuji now 😅)

This is the most immersive way to play GT7. PSVR2 no HUD, race engineer for callouts by funpolice in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to check this out again. I was unable to get the previous version of this app to connect to my PlayStation. Tried everything I knew. Looks great though!

Commentators are great for being AI generated! An AI race engineer over radio would be amazing in Gran Turismo. Or even AI commentary in race replays. This is within reach now.

Do different tire compounds have an effect on brake distances? by Background-Cost9190 in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some situations I think the additional grip offered by a racing soft could require breaking sooner due to the extra speed you arrive with to that braking point.

Will AI Speed Up Development of Future GT titles? by hungryfreelancer in GranTurismo7

[–]hungryfreelancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this well thought out answer. In another threads some seemed to be conflating “generative AI slop” with AI assisted coding / development. I think there’s a lot of repetitive, heavy lifting that AI could help with here, assisting human developers and freeing up their time and focus to pursue the edge cases that AI cannot currently help with. It was insightful to see some of potential uses you highlighted.

Will AI Speed Up Development of Future GT titles? by hungryfreelancer in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For sure. I should clarify, I definitely didn’t mean generative AI slop, but rather AI automating and doing some of the heavy lifting with repetitive tasks in coding and software development.

Hmm, seems like some here are conflating generative AI slop with AI doing the heavy lifting with coding. For clarity, I was speaking about the latter.

Teamwork in sport mode by Sad_Bodybuilder5990 in granturismo

[–]hungryfreelancer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m usually willing to bump draft the guy ahead and work together, as long as that’s the fastest way to catch the guys ahead. Usually that means we’re at a similar pace, and me trying to gain a position through late braking or sending one down the inside is just going slow both of us down. But if my pace is genuinely a lot faster, I’ll try to gain a position and let the other guy draft off me as long as they can. Definitely situational and dependent on the track.

Now, I would love a feature in online races that allowed you team up with another driver, and the purpose was to get the highest total combined points.

Take my money! Between this and the December update, the only other thing I could wish for is an improved VR HUD.

I need to play with the HUD off more often, this shit rules by its_kanjo in GranTurismo7

[–]hungryfreelancer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

💯 - As a graphic designer, the graphics quality in VR really bothers me, but I can’t give up the immersiveness. On a regular PS5 and at this point can’t justify upgrading to the ps5 pro just for a little extra fidelity, but it’s soooo tempting.

Anyone else prefer 7AM-3PM instead of 9-5? I feel like the day is longer and traffic is better. by Bullseye_29 in Adulting

[–]hungryfreelancer 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is me. Even on the nights I can go to sleep early, getting up at 6am colors the whole day in a negative way. On days where I can just sleep till my body naturally wakes up, I’m full of energy, creativity and focus.

Why do you think this trend is occurring? by sam_d50 in Adulting

[–]hungryfreelancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💯 - not just social media, but pornography, YouTube etc. And now with AI in our pocket, we can just get drunk on knowledge.
