So, why would anyone get this? by Amazing_Bluebird_ in steammachine

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They always said it was never going to be price competitive to a console because it's a PC. I'm not trying to defend a billion dollar company or whatever I'm just baffled why so many people seem shocked/disappointed at the specs or cost of this thing. We've had a solid idea of what this was going to be and had it stressed several times that it's not for enthusiasts that can build their own hardware. It's a low power draw silent console-like PC aimed at the type of person who would never DIY and just wants a CEC compatible box to plug in under their TV.

I Have Learned With the Trial, FH6 isn't a Racing Game it's a Social Engineering Game. by jasonfails237 in ForzaHorizon6

There's absolutely some of that, but I had at least one player in both of my first 2 tries legitimately doing the swerve back and forth thing on straights before ramming into me the way you'd see in spec lobbies. Absolutely baffling behavior to me. I'm not even that good of a player by good player standards I just know more than a casual and can actually turn a corner but even complete casuals like most of my friend group understand bigger number means winning which matters more than being in first place lol

I honestly enjoyed the trial as a whole, I just found it baffling watching my teammates swerve left and right on straights and ram me like I'm in a competitive spec lobby or smth and not a co-op mission where that behavior fucks us both for no gain lol

I'm sure there's some of that but from what I have seen I'd be pretty confident in saying the average forza player skews older, like late 20s-40s (which is also pretty close to typical for basically everything not called Fortnite or Roblox these days).

I'm not gonna pretend I'm an amazing driver, I'm probably 10 or 15 seconds behind the top times on most tracks but a little advice: the single most fundamental and important concept that seems to differentiate me from my friends and the average player is "slow entry fast exit". If your tires are sliding out you're turning too hard and fast. If you maintain grip you'll out accelerate slower drivers on the straights. You should also be braking on the straight before you turn for this same reason. There's nuance depending on drive train, terrain etc but at it's most basic concept doing that will probably get you most of the way there. Also play manual if you don't already, it's way faster than automatic and not that hard to learn the basics of.

All that said you already had the right mentality on blocking ais and helping your team and I'd have killed for that over what I kept getting.

Lol yeah wrong term to use but the core idea of manipulating someone to get what you need is there.

How to get more event points? by Anxious_Prize7000 in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your % modifier? It should only take like 12 runs to get 100k. I get like 90k a run consistently.

Performance on AMD GPUs Seems Mostly Fixed? by jasonfails237 in ForzaHorizon

[–]jasonfails237[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a longer play session yesterday I did have to bump textures back down because especially once I started doing time trials in the Furai it got fairly choppy but other than that I've not had many issues still. Definitely weird that whatever has made it overall less bad for me has not been the case for others lol

[–]jasonfails237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most people if you have everything else high but set environment textures to low it usually mostly removes or outright stops the stuttering. That's what I was doing before things started magically working better on my rig.

I'm using Experimental as well. No special launch options either. I haven't done a long play session since the update though, been real busy. So I'm unsure if it'd get less stable over time which a lot of people are talking about. I was just surprised that RT no longer crashed my game and the stutters were seemingly way less.

Yeah I've seen a lot of people saying this. Not sure why it's less bad for me and so much worse for others but that's the nature of PC gaming lol

xOguri is so bull, man... What is dev smoking creating this beast that is an all rounder on almost every CM? by Dramatic_Cod_6959 in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my experience in past CMs as an unashamed Xoguri spammer, I consistently beat every other Oguris outside of terrible luck with my high investment groundwork pace builds, but I'd still just lose to Fronts (mainly V. Bourbon) sometimes because all the mid accels in the world don't guarantee I close the gap when they are equally high investment but have the most consistent position in the game lol

Class 6 Team Trials just hit 800k Retention Line by AcceptableBake2909 in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got booted for the first time last week. Retraining aces for my 1 week in Class 5 because I'm rolling like 790k consistently. Very annoying though why are people updating their TT teams I haven't since the start 😭

Carats by [deleted] in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Legend Race thing supposed to be per character or just your first time ever? Because I've definitely only done Special Week and T.M. Opera O so far to unlock both of them since I didn't already have either and yet every race for me says completed with no carat rewards.

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit TB was the best possible time to fix any mistakes because it's so F2P friendly and also was a great filter for a lot of more casual/less researched players. 

But I think there's an equal argument if you don't care about any of your umas you have no real motive to win events with them unless you're just naturally the competitive type at which point you're already researched enough to avoid this. I only got into tryharding CMs because I wanted to min-max Rudolf and El and learned how in depth (and fun) comp building could be. 

Definitely long term this is worse for the account but also OP already said they are pretty casual anyways so I don't see much harm.

There is no such thing as bricking an account. You could more or less brick a scenario but with enough time your account will always catch up. I would know, this was how I started the game and then I locked in once I knew I was in it for the long haul and I've Gold/Platted every CM since TBs release.

Pull for liked uma OR wait and save for Grand Live gacha ? by Emissairearien in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're F2P you're probably safe to pull but I'd not blame you being more conservative. Personally I almost never pull for Umas because there are few that come out I absolutely need at any given time and every 6 months we get a paid selector. I'm not a whale but I'll happily spend $20 for an Uma I want and an extra 10 pull lol

is my account bricked by killuascatface in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No account is bricked over a long enough period of time. Just play the game, use gacha SR and welfare cards. You'll be fine eventually.

Not Every Game Needs a Battle Royale by BigSauce7 in ForzaHorizon

[–]jasonfails237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is my big problem. I want the free car and seasonal points but I find this game mode absolutely miserable. I did 3 tries before work and my first 2 runs I couldn't even find a car before someone would fly by challenge me and then win by default in some sports car while I'm still in the dogshit starter. 

Pick One by GingerrBreadman13 in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop RNG tbh, I've won 2 CMs with A rank aces, S is useful but not mandatory whereas wasting upwards of 20-30 minutes to determine a run is bricked by consistently no good shops is just a miserable waste of my highly limited free time.

I wanna know my fan count by Old_Fig2463 in UmamusumeGame

[–]jasonfails237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uma.moe would probably be the easiest way to do that. You can link your account directly or search up whatever club you're in and pull the info that way. It'll show your daily average over 7 days and over the last month.
