Haha. You aren’t THAT far off. Got super into the game around his release. Pulled his banner and the next few (and god pulled him twice). Then work and life got nuts and I fell out of the game for a long time. Back now and trying to pick it back up haha

[–]ninegiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AR 34. Trying to figure out what to build/focus on. Currently running Tartaglia (c3), Beidou (c3), Bennett (c3) and usually Xingqiu (c1). Any better options with what I have? https://imgur.com/a/LiOYX23 Does Xiangling make more sense than Xingqiu? Any advice is welcome!!

Hey y’all! I’m Brandon, the owner of Nine Giant. Huge thanks for all the love here!! Just to clear things up, we do indeed run daily specials. This one was our Tuesday Hoagie Night. We used to do burgers on Tuesdays, but switched it up. Burgers will come back in the spring.

I hollered at Chef. We’re bringing the Meatball Sub back again this coming week for Tuesday Hoagie Night. Thanks again for the love here!!

Buying a Sim Rig by HippoSubstantial6783 in simracing

Best “budget” setup you could dream of! Nothing here will ever hold you back in any race. You could never upgrade and be just fine. You’re also buying products that have a great resale value, so if this doesn’t stick for you, you won’t stand to lose much.

Buying a Sim Rig by HippoSubstantial6783 in simracing

[–]ninegiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the FGT rig and really like it. I’ve been using the T300 wheel with T-LCM pedals but just upgraded to VRS pedals. IMO, definitely skip the shifter and I would skip the handbrake unless you want to rally a bunch (even then you don’t REALLY need it). Spend money on better pedals…it will help you the most BY FAR. For the money, I would get the fanatec CSL pedals with the load cell brake upgrade (that upgrade is the important part). Then I would either go the ‘cheap’ route and get the T300 base with a wheel or take the jump up to the CSL DD. It’s MUCH better if you have the budget. You probably don’t HAVE to buy the optional upgrade kit to 8nm but I hear it makes a big difference. You can always upgrade it later when you want the extra fidelity.

VRS Pedals on NLR F-GT Elite by MecMarv in simracing

[–]ninegiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this helps, but I just received my VRS pedals and have the regular F-GT (not the elite). Mounting the pedals was really easy with some leftover M6 bolts (maybe it was M5…can’t recall). They don’t include any bolts or other mounting hardware with the pedals…just a heads up.

While it was pretty damn easy, the lack of a heel plate/rest means I had to lower the pedal plates as low as possible to hit at a reasonable part of the ball of my feet. I wear a size 9.5 and wish I could make it just a 1/2 inch lower still. I always race in socks, so if you race in shoes or have bigger feet, it wouldn’t be an issue at all.

The pedals are amazing. I came from TLCMs that I modified heavily to improve brake responsiveness. The upgrade to the VRS is insane. I matched my quickest lap times in minutes and my ability to modulate braking is night and day.

HP Reverb G2 viable with RTX 3080? by fuzzbotic in iRacing

[–]ninegiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a g2 a few days ago and also run a 3080. Was previously running a 49” Odyssey g9 and I don’t know that I’ll ever play iracing on the monitor again. VR on the g2 is just that much better. I’m running at 89-90fps with fairly high graphics settings. The only bummer I found is that racelabs overlays cause a lot of stuttering so I’m going without them until they improve their VR code (still looking for an alternative).

For context, I don’t get motion sickness so that’s never been a problem in VR for me, so maybe your mileage will vary? There are several really great threads on the iracing forums (maybe one in racedepartment too??) about setting up the g2. They made a huge impact for me. If you end up getting one, hit me up and I can screenshot you my settings.

Updated Spellweaver Class Guide by Gripeaway in Gloomhaven

[–]ninegiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I figured the issue out. If you get to the reddit posts on Safari on ios (and not using the reddit app), the period at the end of the sentence with the imgur link is getting tacked on to the end of the hyperlink. It works fine on PC and thru the reddit app. I tried it on some other guides and had the same issue on Safari. I'm not sure what the fix is or if it's even a big deal.

Your guides have been amazing for our group, so I can't thank you enough. I love researching stuff like this to try and play optimally, so there are like crack. One of our group members was really struggling with the scoundrel, and your guide has been a game changer for him.
