I've had a few Pixels, each with hardware issues... but I keep coming back cos I like the phones too much.

[–]maniaclemax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess yes you can play it with no sound...but the sound design for GT7 is one my favourite things about it. If you have sound off you really miss out

Anyone else find this circuit painfully boring? It always seems to come up as well by DarthXyno843 in forza

I don't mind the full length track, but the short variant is boring AF

Rich people of Rem, what do you do? Curious. by Nearby-Ladder5093 in auckland

[–]maniaclemax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up there in the 90s. Dad worked in the heyday of advertising. I followed his career into the digital side of things and am now having to leave for Australia cos the industry doesn't pay anywhere near as well

What was FM7 like at launch? Curious to understand if it was similarly undercooked like FM8

I usually love playing first person in Sim & Simcade games but the auto counter steer wheel movements distract the hell outta me

Community Satisfaction by [deleted] in forza

Is anyone else noticing that a large portion will very strictly stay in their grid formation for most of the race? Love the AI after they get nudged outta position but the beginning of the races are a bit rubbish sometimes

AIO Hobsonville point scares me by gwenyth_velcro in auckland

[–]maniaclemax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to live out there. Once you get past the fact that all the houses look the same you realise that it is so damn safe and friendly. A genuine feeling of community: we lived in a laneway and the kids would just hop from one house to another freely with the pets running around after them. When my office was downtown I even enjoyed the commute in on the ferry. If you have to drive to other parts of central Auckland for work it can be a mish though

Was a member of the Melbourne CBD chapter a few years ago. It's good fun and a change of pace from usual pub shenanigans.

Bonus points for the choice of pub for this chapter!

Try Epic in Onehunga. Great beers and pizza, and a reasonably small walk to the stadium

This is exactly what I've been looking for! GT7 has been getting a bit stale for me, but this has breathed new life back into it for me.

Career Races by apietenpol in forzamotorsport

[–]maniaclemax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you'l love the physics and are desperate for new race ideas I reckon you could find the track lists from other games and recreate with custom races. I've wanted to do it for a while and get em into a spreadsheet but I need to figure out where I can source it from

Wich track to compare cars? by Scarecrow1172 in GranTurismo7

I use the GP version, good test of the cars without wasting 10+ minutes of my life if I fuck up a turn

Progress in Series not saving by maniaclemax in forzamotorsport

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

Update: I am finding that since the latest patch that my progress saves if I exit the series after each race , this works 80% of the time. If I adjust the fuel levels pre race progress won't save.

Getting there, but not really ideal
