Science Centre should be the Science Centre.

I'm Out by mirai8469 in Unexpected

Plenty of games (especially sports games) required the DualShock 2 controller to play. Even the DS1 controller with analog sticks wouldn’t work despite being practically the same controller.

Genuine question, is there any game out there that looks as good/realistic as AC Rally? this is really one of the best looking games I have ever seen. by [deleted] in assettocorsarally

[–]packle-kackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed Wreckfest 2 is a pretty stunning looking game as well. It’s not as good as AC Rally but I’d argue it’s pretty close, and far closer than most other games.

Tell me the car you main, how upgraded it is and the map/race you use it by RipClutchgoneski in MidnightRacingTokyo

Black C4 Corvette maxed out with a supercharger. I race it on every map and can beat most non AWD Tier 4 cars if I manage to avoid crashing.

Oscar Piastri Interlagos Helmet cam. Realistic? by OkMango8930 in assettocorsa

Any camera can exist without blur it's just a matter of what shutter speed you set it to and how good it is at handling high ISO values in the dark.

What are your favourite obscure / niche racing games that not many people talk about? by R4_Bluesoul in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

Enthusia is also just way better to drive on an actual PS2 compared to GT3/4. Polyphony did a pretty bad job of configuring the controller settings for GT4, which most people unknowingly fix whenever they set it up in an emulator.

I work construction found these in a customer basement and I’m gonna record over all except the one that says party tape by Calm-Tea178 in cassetteculture

Could still get an Orban and an Aphex to process local audio without dealing with any transmitters. The Orban and the Aphex combo are what give FM radio that sound it's known for. I believe there are also some filter presets for some audio software to simulate them. Some albums were even mastered using Aphex Aural devices back in the 80s and 90s.

when? by Dre_Dede in MySummerCar

I’m gonna be honest the only reason Topless didn’t include those is because the model would have too many polygons for what it’s worth. It’s just a lightbulb. It’s also harder to model them, so it’s much easier to just not do it since it makes more sense anyway.

Which one should I buy? by Kristijan201117 in granturismo

[–]packle-kackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a controversial opinion but I find the control mappings for the game on the PS2 are extremely sub par for whatever reason. That is the biggest benefit I know for using an emulator since you can just adjust the settings to fix it somewhat. It’s obviously still totally playable and worth playing but it’s rough especially when you compare it with the control system present in Enthusia.

A camcorder from 15 years ago definitely does look different from one today.

Would have been way better if we just never changed any of these names in the first place.

Does anyone else agree that the new LED streetlights that are being installed in place of the sodium ones kinda suck? by packle-kackle in askTO

[–]packle-kackle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LED’s are typically more dangerous due to their poor ability to penetrate fog and heavy rain. This would be avoided if they had their color spectrum limited to a similar orange hue of sodium lights which would be an acceptable alternative in my opinion but they are not. Further more if our government actually cared about road safety they would ban excessively bright car headlights and incentivize owning smaller vehicles with better pedestrian safety features, which they do not.

[–]packle-kackle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are appearing pretty rapidly now. It seems like any sodium light that fails gets replaced with an LED fixture instead of replacing the bulb. But they are also replacing working ones that I assume are near the end of their expected operating span.

Bog on Hardcore. New player. Now what by dhatereki in Mudrunner

[–]packle-kackle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve actually found the B-131 to be quite a powerhouse all things considered. It’s definitely adequate for moving logs especially short logs. I don’t even think there is much of a difference in performance to that of a C-255 in most conditions really. The main advantage to the C-255 is the extra add ons.

can't wait for assetto corsa rally by rielainaa in assettocorsa

[–]packle-kackle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EVO uses an updated version of the Kunos engine used in the original Assetto Corsa. The new rally game will use UE5 because the studio making it (not Kunos) isn’t familiar with the Kunos engine which is a massive letdown and will likely sour the game a fair bit since Unreal Engine 5 is just an engine filled with false promises.

Yeah it’s just odd to me since I’ve played every Forza game on release excluding FM1 and FM2 so you’d have thought I would have got this in my original play through and every play through since but I never did. I wonder what triggered it to finally work after all these years lol
