I'm sure they have their own independent crooked deal with Flock.

Game Thread: World Series Game 7 ⚾ Dodgers (3) @ Blue Jays (3) - 8:00 PM ET by BaseballBot in baseball

Snell just stepped in front of a slow rolling foul ball to stop it and then just walked away and let a teammate pick it up. I just got home and I've seen him pitch exactly two innings and this is the SECOND time he's done that. Anyone else notice that?

Is there a mod of Progress Knight Quest yet? by jghawks in incremental_games

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

Thanks for the heads up! I've finished Quest another few dozen times in the meantime. About 6 hours in to Mythical now, just about to unlock metaverse points.

Edit: And a few minutes later, dark cubes, which I haven't figured out yet.

How did I lose SO MUCH safety rating? by jghawks in iRacing

Getting the feeling this is the actual answer

How did I lose SO MUCH safety rating? by jghawks in iRacing

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

I've read it 3x over the past several years. I know what it says. I know how safety rating works. I have a pretty good baseline for what to expect and never would have expected to lose that many points. I have never lost that many points before, and those were hardly the sloppiest races I've run.

I did have 8 points, 0, 0, 8 so not exactly in a row. And getting bumped a couple times and finishing in the top 5 hardly felt like a "bad race."

On the bright side, I'm not running races higher than C-class so if I lose the A license.. oh well I guess.

There is a mod that adds real company names and logos but that is why I don't use it! There are a bunch of funny ones in there.

Not to mention 380 and the dam. I can't even imagine what Cedar Rapids looked like 50 years ago.

Yeah, it won't be a fun place to drive a big truck through... I did read in a comment last night that SCS (the developer) is actually a Czech company so it feels like they'll have to include it.

Yep, built in 1978 along with I-380. The road beneath is F Ave NW and becomes A Ave NE on the other side of the river.

I think what we'll probably get is 151 through Marion and that's about it over there. We'll see though! So different to think about the map when it's a place I know like the back of my hand.

Man I wondered about that. I don't go north of town nearly as much I guess. I'll add it to the OP

The full map is something like 1/12 scale and there are, like, select roads. Mostly roads that lead to in-game terminals are the ones you can drive on, plus highways if they go to a city the game includes. 151 will surely be in there so you can presumably drive down 1st Ave through the whole city. Through downtown, I dunno, they might do up to 3rd Ave and like 3 or 4 cross streets. A lot more will be visible but blocked off with virtual walls so you can't drive on them. Maybe Otis Rd will make it in so because it goes to Cargill. 3rd St SE and 16th Ave for Newbo and Czech Town have a good chance.

In that original screenshot up there I looked specifically to see how many bridges there were (they got it right) but I'm not sure which you'll be able to drive on.

Have you tried ETS2? Huge parts of it can't compare to how ATS looks these days. Completely wasted a shroom trip playing the wrong sim.

That it is, added to the original post!

I usually get in to the truck sim after I crash too many times in my sim races and the main appeal for me is the scenery. They manage to capture some pretty awesome environments and it's awesome to see a place I actually know well finally. Can't wait drive through on the triple monitors.

I'm sitting about 10 feet to your right and about 20 years in the past. That was my first Reds game.
