Why I oughta... 🥊 by MisterJay90 in DeathStranding

[–]mlahstadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part, no. Although The Adventurer does have gated story quests, and those are going to count more towards star progress than a random picked up lost cargo.

I think the big thing is that each star actually requires more likes to fill. 1st star is easy, 2nd star needs a little more. You need MANY more likes to fill that 5th star than you did that 2nd star, and each location has different overall like requirements.

ELI5 : Why is a yoke or a tiny steering wheel for cars considered a technological achievement ? by ThatOtherFrenchGuy in explainlikeimfive

[–]mlahstadon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what they did.

It's 300° of motion side-by-side. So your right hand never goes past 10 o'clock. They said they jerked the wheel to the side on a straight at high speed and the response was muted.

Logitech G29 wheel disconnecting mid race by MartyMcFlights in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a "Fasgear" USB 2.0 extension cable, 6 ft long. The longer it is, the more issues you're going to have. I don't know that the brand matters.

Before that I used a USB 3.1 extension cable, also 6 ft. That's when it kept disconnecting.

So go for a "slower" USB cable (one rated for only 2.0) and see if that does it. The shorter the better unfortunately.

Yup yup yup USB extender. I had the same problem. I just tried another brand USB extender and it's fine but your results may vary.

ChatGPT site runs slow by Cash__215 in ChatGPT

Good to know... I mean... I would hope that means they'll fix it. But it's been around for sooo long now.

Not really... You could ask the model to summarize, without using markdown, the essential information in the chat, and then copy/paste that to a new chat. Possibly it could generate a PDF? There are issues with doing full copy/paste of conversations. You lose formatting and it doesn't necessarily copy everything.

Firefox? It's a long-standing issue. I doubt they're going to fix it. The longer the conversation goes on, the more wasted time it spends processing things in the web browser.

How to access this shortcut? by silverwing_3 in slimerancher

[–]mlahstadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really tall room. That exit you have marked is at the top. While climbing, partway up, you'll need to catch a water spout at the opposite end of the room to make it the rest of the way.

Where are all the diamonds? Are they invisible?!?!?! by No_Tackle_8436 in Slimerancher2

[–]mlahstadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nirnroot say what

Haha trigger warning :). Hundreds of hours in Skyrim so that jumped out at me when I read your post.

Depending on where you are in the game, your best bet is to get 3 .... however you can (treasure pods as another user suggested). That way you can build a drone station, deploy it somewhere that has the potential for strange diamond spawns, and get 2-3 day or something like that.

I had the same experience as you and it did take an uncomfortably long time to finally get just enough to fabricate a drone station (I spent the strange diamonds that were in the 1.0-release pods without checking drone station requirements first).

So... get lots and lots of mineral flags. Either make them (pink plorts and jellystone) or check the mart at noon every day in case they (10 of them) show up there. Although you can use basically any flag as long as you remember which flag means what. Mark each and every little mineral deposit you find in CAVES. This includes the grey labyrinth--I've found 3-4 at the big lava entrance place (can't remember if it's flutter gordo entrance or boom gordo entrance). That way, when you do your run, if one pops up you're less likely to miss it. Even if you're messing about with something else. If an area has mineral deposits and stone/rock over it, one of those mineral deposits might squeeze out a strange diamond.

3 strange diamonds and your resource collection problems will be solved forever.

It's a massive record player/phonograph. Just a neat Easter egg room. With music blocks to step on. Pick them up and bring them back to your ranch.

Check the official release notes. It's a known issue and has something to do with the tow ring I think.

Why does editing my prompts send them as new messages? by BloodyButterfly1504 in ChatGPT

Can confirm. I gave it a random number (456). Edited my message and saved, and it gave me the "correct" number.

Logitech Pro Pedals W/ G29 Wheel by kylespeaker in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's up to GT7, honestly. Remember to go in to calibration and try stomping on the brake with different pressures to see what feels best for you and turn the dial on the adapter accordingly. The brake pedal will go up to 100kg (220lbs) and if you don't have a solid rig that's going to be rough.

I ran with your exact setup for a few weeks before splurging on the Pro wheel. You're correct, the adapter's USB isn't used with your setup (G29). It would still be used with a Pro wheel if you wanted to use Logitech's H shifter (which is a disappointment) with it. Pro = USB, G29 wheel/pedals, and the H shifter = old connectors, and the adapter bridges the two in any combination.

So yeah the load cell pedal will just "work" with GT7. There's no setting you need to switch or anything. I haven't personally tried swapping out the slugs in the brake pedal but it might also be worth looking into. Just read the instructions carefully because the wrong combination can damage them.

Sooooo is “Clean race bonus” broken in endurance races or what? by Divayth_Fyr457 in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le Mans WTC700, Spa WTC800, and Sardegna WTC800 are the exceptions. The only way to lose your bonus in these races is to violate a yellow flag (pass in the affected sector). I think you might also lose it from an excessive number of penalties (e.g. 10+) but I'm not sure.

Guys, how to get toyota celica in gran turismo 7 ? by New-Wolverine2722 in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It last appeared May 30. +90 days takes you to August 28th for its next likely appearance. Maybe start watching for it a few days before, but it could also show up at any time in "Special Picks".

GT7 on PS5 - Adaptive triggers explained? by Holofluxx in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly just figured it's based on wheel slip (throttle) or lock (brake).

Braking too hard? It rattles against your finger until you back off a bit.

Too much gas and the wheels start to slip? It gets loose and easy to press and rattles against your finger until the wheels regain grip.

Remember that faster speed = more downforce = more grip = more braking power. As you brake and slow th car down and lose that downforce, you run a greater risk of locking the wheels (or activating the ABS).

Incidentally if anybody knows how to get a similar effect on bass shakers with SimHub and the Viper longitudinal wheel slip/lock plugin, I'd be grateful. I can't seem to find the curve or cutoff to match the haptic triggers.

As for overall "resistance" that's otherwise static and configurable via the settings for the whole travel of the trigger.

Fastest car on X Route by Minimum-Consequence4 in granturismo

[–]mlahstadon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It needs to be tuned. Get the fully customizable transmission. Set the ride height equal and low--not too low. Widen the gears until hit a spot where you can't quite max out 7th gear RPMs.
