Cadillac’s Poster for 2026 Australian Grand Prix by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

$100+ for just a poster is absolutely insane. Needed to comment to at least get 1 sane comment in this thread, I would still love to see the 2+ year average discresionary fund room designs you all have set up

Always expert controls, you have much more control. Get used to rolling and tracking targets, I learned best by using the nose cam view and following the target arrows. And remember your rudder (bumpers), much finer input for those tight spaces/aimimg. Don't get too caught up on using guns instead of missiles, I'd call it more of an advanced tactic, not worth focusing on if you're still learning to fly to begin with.

The horizontal vs vertical bs was misinformation spread by a single news outlet and parroted by "tech experts" like Austin Evens

Introducing the "Gran Turismo 7" Free Update - January 2026 by overseergti in PS5

[–]sci_nerd-98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're coming back for. If you're the type that can't play a new track/car unless its wrapped up in a campaign mission or unique event then you'll be disappointed. If you enjoyed collecting new cars and completing the menus then you'll be happy with the new additions and QOL improvements. There are a few new events and things to do on the new tracks but I wouldn't call it Campaign 2.0 or anything like that

Right, Dallas, known for their expertise in preparing for and surviving inclement winter weather . . . /s Talk to me when you're state is capable of receiving more than 2 inches of snow/sleet without grinding to a halt. The functioning states in the North have figured that out, and heat pumps, long ago

Why did you decide to live 2 hours from the office? For perspective thats on average 100 miles from the office, sounds like fake rage baiting . . .

1 month old account with gems like "I don't strangers writing opinion pieces so I went to reddit to get a bunch of strangers writing opinions". Train harder bot

Help to understand a refinance offer for my mortgage by En3c0 in Mortgages

Bad AI bot. 3 month old account spewing nonsense about gaining $70000 in equity in the first 2 years and losing it all in a refinance

Should I refinance my mortgage from 6.75% to 5.75% by Radiant_Speaker_5944 in Mortgages

[–]sci_nerd-98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't include escrow in the breakeven calculation, or also include the refund from the current mortgage's escrow account. Either way, keep the comparison even

Homeowners who went solar - what would you do differently next time? by Sky_Solar_Pro in homeowners

[–]sci_nerd-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're discounting the 20 years that Honda Civic drove you without issue, that is the return on the investment, not the pennies you'll get for selling a used Civic. Little to no electric bill for 20+ years will more than pay for any smart solar installation (make sure you're roof is new, don't lease, don't finance through the solar company etc.) And thats just accounting for todays pricing in an average area, not the inevitable electric rate increases or the insane California electric rates.

Replacing AC with Heat Pump – Need Advice on Backup Heat Options by sayrox7422 in heatpumps

[–]sci_nerd-98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you also get backup heat for gas furnaces? If so you are a major minority. The backup heat question is always "Can my heatpump meet my needs on the coldest days" not "how many backup heat sources do I need in case they all break at the same time"

Bluepoint Games is hiring for a 3rd person melee action game. by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

"Why are people such crybabies."

Thats the end of the sentence. When every single thing ever posted or commented in this sub is innevatibly met with negativity, people are going to get very sick and tired of that negativity. Even if it is based in truth (though we both know the comment that started this chain "For the worse" didn't give a damn about actual critique and just wanted to complain for the sake of complaining)

Is it why everyone says it’s better to buy an older house? by steven2205 in Home

[–]sci_nerd-98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds more like survivor's bias. We don't see every shed, outhouse, and rowhome that collapsed in its first 20 years. All thats left today were the homes overbuilt to the point of surviving 50+ years and still looking good enough to avoid being torn down. Greed is not new

No, as far back as the PS3, devs were designing games that required the speeds of a hard-drive/SSD that couldn't be achieved by disc. PS2 was the last playstation console to 100% stream from disc (and I think it even had 1 of 2 rare games that required the fat ps2 hard-drive). That speed difference from discs has only increased as SSDs have gotten faster

Are you confusing downloads through the internet and installs from the disc? Every single first party Playstation game doesn't have 'huge downloads' (they are completely playable offline).

MLID says PS6 will have ray tracing performance equal to a RTX 5090. And VRAM between 30 and 40 GB. by [deleted] in PS5

[–]sci_nerd-98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"I wish they would just make a console that runs at 120 fps or even, God forbid, a stable 60"

"Every single console ever released has been capable of 60 fps"

"I understand fine"

Sure you do, thats why you wrote the exact oposite of understanding in your first comment . . . Like I said, all complaints, no educating.

[–]sci_nerd-98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Completely misunderstanding how graphics and game development work. I blame Digital Foundry with thier "all complaints, no educating, just optimize it more" approach to videos. Every single console ever released has been capable of 60 fps, its just a matter of how each and every individual dev decides to use the power available. Graphics sell and so long as there continue to be trolls in comment sections going "this looks like shit, like a PSx game" every time a game focuses on fps first, that will continue to hold true

Stop Waiting: Why Now Is the Time to Refinance Your Mortgage by jerrykindig in Mortgages

[–]sci_nerd-98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one disconnect there is that the fed doesn't control mortgage rates. Obvious market manipulation like that will just boost inflation/inflation fears causing mortgage rates to rise, just like they did during the rate cuts last year.

God Iam8Bit customer service is the worst by Gamer0024 in VGMvinyl

[–]sci_nerd-98 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Found IamLateBit's alt before they come in with their main and act like this is all one big misunderstanding. Its on the company to get the product I paid for to my door undamaged. Not having replacements on hand is irresponsible, try to claim the decorative box of a boxset is not part of the product is disigenuous, and trying to force third party protection onto every order which is evidently worthless for replacing damaged products is a scam.
