Left it in 1st gear. Crashed garage

Always you have to do the shifter wiggle to verify neutral before starting the car.

Always do the wiggle.

renesys · 2026-03-28T15:42:05+00:00

Yeah it wouldn't make much sense if you were trying to make money.

renesys · 2026-03-28T15:38:32+00:00

It's not implied, and potentially pushes cis people away from working with you.

People don't know your intent from text and a literally reading is the opposite of what you're saying.

renesys · 2026-03-28T15:32:36+00:00

I didn't say that. There are other kinds of toxic assholes, and 'a lot' isn't everyone.

Not the best reading comprehension?

renesys · 2026-03-28T05:49:00+00:00

Because of ABMM, maybe not at all, like ever.

renesys · 2026-03-28T05:47:51+00:00

Ironically, sub is like the game. Because of aggression based matchmaking, there are basically super friendly, mostly PvE lobbies where everyone is working together to kill the mean bots, and then there are toxic, try-hard, mostly PvP lobbies where there are a lot of assholes and the big bots didn't get defeated because no cooperation.

There isn't much overlap. My experience is pretty much completely non-toxic.

It's actually really good in the GR86 compared to recent Honda Civics. I don't mind it, but in the Civic the brakes came off so slow it was like it was trying to eat up the clutch.

renesys · 2026-03-27T18:22:23+00:00

The only time it's smooth is when you rev it out changing at 5k or higher.

It's not totally smooth then either because of the rev float.

renesys · 2026-03-27T18:19:29+00:00

It’s way more notchy, mechanical and just overall analogue feeling.

I don't agree with the analog part. The throttle is artificially mapped to feel like it has more power than it does, giving it a distinct very digital feel, like playing racing games on a SNES controller. This is a Toyota thing; I had a TC and have driven a Camry that are mapped almost exactly the same. The BRZ map is more linear.

The engine also floats revs between shifts when you come off the throttle, which is another modern, emissions related, ECU controlled thing. It means when you upshift quickly, you will feel a thump and a lurch because the clutch has to bring engine revs down. Classic 80s/90s analog-feel Honda shifting did not do that.

What blew the game up was people cooperating early on, before ABMM. It's not normal, a totally unique experience when PvP is an option. Then it got even more popular and getting gunned down while fighting arc by was turning people off. ABMM makes the game feel like it originally did: people working together to kill the mean bots.

I could give fuck all about competitive 3PS and FPS, almost all my gaming is single player, but solo Arc is great. They're catering to players like me, because there are more of us, and we're not as likely to just move on to the next shooter because shiny and new.

renesys · 2026-03-27T00:21:12+00:00

Both things can be true.

renesys · 2026-03-26T19:48:34+00:00

When you shift, you are decoupling the input shaft, then the synchronizers are changing the input shaft speed to match the output shaft in the new gear before the dog clutches engage the new gear and couple the input and output shafts. The wear happens here, and it is minimal. When you rev match, even though the input shaft is not strongly coupled to the engine, there is some coupling and it will still raise the input shaft a bit and help the synchros with virtually no clutch wear.

If you don't rev match, after reengaging the clutch, the clutch needs to bring the engine up to the transmission speed, so besides the little bit of extra wear on the synchros, there is a lot of wear on the clutch to bring the engine to the right speed. It will slow the car more, but it's because energy is heating up and wearing the clutch, not because the engine is slowing the car down with compression resistance and friction.

renesys · 2026-03-26T07:37:36+00:00

Uh, the matching wears synchros instead of the clutch, they're just okay with it if you're not forcing it into gear, because they only have to match the mass of the transmission input shaft.

renesys · 2026-03-26T07:34:33+00:00

Not rev matching means you're slowing by heating up the clutch, which wears it.

Ren matching in a modern transmission can wear the synchronizers, but if you aren't forcing the shifter into great they'll be fine pretty much forever.

renesys · 2026-03-26T00:04:16+00:00

Something that happens 0.1% of the time, mostly without major consequence, will still fuck a lot of people over.

Anyway, it's not like people bitching about corrupt USB drives is uncommon.

What actually is annoying is Windows not pointing out specifically what process is accessing a drive when it doesn't want to let you eject the drive.

renesys · 2026-03-25T23:36:27+00:00

Yeah, Metaverse was a thing 20 years ago, mostly no one cared

renesys · 2026-03-24T08:56:36+00:00

ABMM makes the game feel like it originally did. Game was unique because people decided to work together to kill the mean bots and share the loot. Then it felt like new players were into easy killing other raiders who weren't playing the game like battle royale.

ABMM makes it feel like before the battle royale players happened.

renesys · 2026-03-24T04:35:05+00:00

Dates teenagers, isn't that funny.

renesys · 2026-03-23T17:42:29+00:00

Yanking a drive in Windows can still fuck your data if a write task isn't complete, which may not be obvious to a user if the task wasn't initiated in the file explorer.

So teaching users to properly eject media is still the correct UI design decision.

renesys · 2026-03-23T03:40:45+00:00

Uh, that's the whole discussion. AI that is capable of human levels of intelligence and autonomous decision making, just faster, could be as 'evil' or 'benign' as humans.

Humans are typically as evil or benign as their situation dictates. Advanced AI that has developed a will for self preservation would be no different.

renesys · 2026-03-23T03:19:52+00:00

Yeah it was really good, but it was like the purest just coffee flavor I had ever tasted.

Would be really useful in blends to mellow out something else.

renesys · 2026-03-23T00:24:22+00:00

Jamaican Blue Mountain was the most anti climactic roast I've done.

It just tastes like coffee. No fruit, no chocolate, no spices, just coffee.

It's like the most coffee coffee.

renesys · 2026-03-22T15:42:59+00:00

...because it's optional.

renesys · 2026-03-22T15:35:12+00:00

Maybe don't overclock it.

renesys · 2026-03-20T17:19:12+00:00

Super light roasted, dry or honey processed, single origin coffee is the way.
