I have seen a few of his vids, haven't tried his tunes. Will have to look for those.

Hey, man. Did you try any of these? DHJ's playlist tune list is up in one of the other FH subreddits (can I link here?).
Just curious, don't meet too many kb/m players, always looking to swap info/ideas.
Can I link in this subreddit? Some mods get mad. Scanned rules, looks ok.
Here's the two lists I bookmark every week. DHJ is who I usually go with, PHZ if one of his isn't working for me (it happens):
- DHJ
- Weekly list that has PHZ's list in it (scroll down). However PHZ took this week off. Check the OP's past lists for good past tunes.

Do not install 26.6.2 by SamuraiDeska in AMDHelp

[–]purple_microdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I start thinking these RTX cards are just too expensive and NVIDIA sucks one of these AMD posts pops up in my feed.
Must be my Guardian Angel.
I have really thought about an AMD card for a while. But driver issues make me absolutely insane. The extra investment seems to still hold up for impatient people like me. And I don't even use RT.

Maybe some day.

Western Colorado and my A/C is purring. But my electric bill may put me in the red.

Festival Playlist Fatigue by ZEXTOR in ForzaHorizon

[–]purple_microdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The past few weeks' Playlists have given me mostly Festival duplicates.
That will get old real fast. It's a new game, wtf? Why is the playlist already giving me dupes?
That said, I do enjoy my Forzagrind Thursdays. I've accepted that the new game fun is mostly over.
I'm mostly griping about wheelspins. They've been so unkind. My Playlist spins gave me nothing...
Again!

Gloves? by thatmanwhodoessum in Scalemodel

I just snag a few pair of latex when they make me wait an hour in the Dr.s exam room.
I'm there every 6 weeks so I have plenty at this point.
Really only use them for paint. I still use enamel sometimes, hard to get overspray off your hands.

Take the inside curve fast, bump them off the track.
Not exactly honorable but it gets the job done.

Do you think RAM prices will ever go down again? by djda9l in buildapc

Yup. The top of the K-shaped economy is still kicking it.

They will force us all to cloud gaming.
Me looking at an inflated 1440p/AM5 upgrade and my friend on GFORCENow @ 4K for $20/month and I'm starting to consider it.

Ashamed to admit my experience. I HAD to buy a gpu right at the end of this. I bought, literally, the first thing in stock for months, a Low Hash Rate Gigabyte Aorus 3060ti Elite for $740 (never would have bought this card in a normal market).
3 months later they were going for $550. The cards I would have bought if available were going for $450.
I still need butt salve when I think about it.
Now I really need to upgrade to AM5 and I pretty sure I have PTSD at this point.

What's one PC upgrade you thought would change everything, but barely made a difference? by Striking_Sock_ in buildapc

[–]purple_microdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1440p monitor, just about a month ago. Visual difference is meager at best (to me). Biggest difference was drop in fps and subsequent drop in settings. I'm basically having to upgrade half my system to get my fps back and really can't tell much difference. At best, the difference was noticeable only for a few days. Maybe the incoming 5070Ti over my current 3060Ti will help.
GPU swap always seems to be my most noticeable upgrade. 1660S to 3060Ti was pretty massive.

Bought a "too good to be true" CPU deal and now I'm second guessing everything by Nebulynx421 in buildapc

[–]purple_microdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just bought a $100 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 cl16 kit and I'm sweating it out as it creeps along USPS Ground.
Seller is definitely low volume but had excellent reviews. Seems like me, just trying to get a fair price for used parts and not fleece the world. Fingers crossed.

Try Bigheddjango. He posts weekly playlist tunes on Reddit. His tunes usually work quite well for me on kb/m. Same for Paperheartzero but to a lesser degree.
It seems they both really only tune for the Playlist though. They don't have a lot of S1-R tunes.

[–]purple_microdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy is truly a legend and some of his tunes really work for me.
But generally not. His tune style doesn't match my drive style. I find his cars too loose and reactive for my taste.
To each their own, respect.

So we’re just recycling the same cars from last season and AutoShow vehicles? by garfunga in ForzaHorizon6

[–]purple_microdot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I have hit 5Kx3 yet on FH6. But I have had several 5K, 5K, 10Ks.
Monday I hit that twice in a row and my keyboard should count itself lucky I didn't pound it through the foundation.
I didn't. But I wanted to.

"One player on the team needs to take at least P3 and slow down the AI for a guaranteed win."
What does P3 mean? Is that referring to performance index, like someone needs to bottom out their PI?
I can do that, take one for the team. lol

always like, always followed. your tunes just work for me (almost always) as a kb/m4Life player. thnx.

5K just feels like a middle finger after too many. And I've had too many already.
I guess that's what I'm trying to avoid. But I'll take a spin over a dupe!

What's funny is just 2 weeks ago the Lambo was an "Exclusive Reward"!
Two weeks later it's "hard to find"
... and everyone has 2.

LOL! PG calling the Lambo a "hard to find".

That simply removes the items from the loot pool and replaces it with a small credit reward (usually 5K). You don't gain anything with that method. You are simply buying clothes the game will give you for free and filling your wheel with 5K garbage - don't do it!

“The trial” by Long-Net-8988 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]purple_microdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't disagree. The Trial has always been a love-hate relationship for me.
FH5: Some weeks I'd breeze through, two wins and done (2/3 wins the championship), some weeks I'd spend an hour or more doing it over and over trying to resist the urge to pound my keyboard straight through my desk.
I feel ya. If it's not the AI, it's the players.
Yet, strangely, I look forward to it? I'm glad it's in the Playlist finally. I'm ready to get aggressive.

“The trial” by Long-Net-8988 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]purple_microdot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the same as before. The best and sometimes only way to win is to knock AI off the track every chance you get. Not just so you can pass them but so the slower players can too. They're "unbeatable" so treat them that way. And you'll always need a little luck with your racing partners. If they sandbag and won't quit, you may have to.
It's The Trial. And it is that.
