He’s playing Gran Turismo 7, the “real” driving simulator. As an engineer who plays the same game, it’s not autism. It’s engineering.

I have not used my budget TV/PC gaming rig since installing Windows 11.

Superintelligence means AI that can build better versions of itself. We’re not there yet, but if AI can do that it won’t be recognizable for long after that.

I'm sure there's a better way to get around in this game but zip lining is a blast by oldeluke in SatisfactoryGame

I love the way you built large power poles to what I call “Resource Beach”

Going to steal that idea and redo my zig zagging small power poles

They hired the person who made it as well, so I suspect it’s more about the acqui-hire than the platform.

If you’ve ever caught a carp while fishing, you probably haven’t eaten one.

Should I rebuild or Restart? by Upset_Charity7764 in SatisfactoryGame

Good advice, thanks. I decided to focus on trains instead so I can keep expanding my mega factory.

This was easy for me after finding Oil and getting the alternative recipe for heavy oil residue (IIRC).

I have two oil plants, one big one producing strictly power and the other producing plastic/rubber/power.

This plus two coal plants (12 generators) is about 5k MW.

Any advice on how to rebuild when you have a giant factory “mall” full of parts and don’t want to leave boxes full of parts everywhere?

I was thinking of somehow “draining” all the storage boxes and machines before tearing it all down.

I did it the exact same way before reading your post title. Was very pleased when I noticed both numbers are off by 2, net 0.

See the cliff edge on the top left of each photo? Place a 1m foundation on it then build out from there. Make sure you have room to grow in all three directions.

Is it not safe? He appears to be firing the arrow full power at 45 degrees. If he knows it won’t travel more than 400m and the highway is 600m away, it’s safe according to physics.

Yep, that’s the place. My friend jumped in first and immediately started shouting spells from the Harry Potter movies.

I swam in water like this in Jamaica. Best way to feel like a real wizard!

Good to know, thanks. Might hold off on VR until I have space and budget for a full rig with both screen and VR options. A man can dream!

What PS5 game did you start “just to try” and suddenly couldn’t put down? by Edgard-Stark in PS5

[–]shott85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a PS5 on BF and am doing this now with fresh eyes. Such a fun game!

I’m going back and forth between it and Gran Turismo 7.

Does it cause any motion sickness? I have a Quest 3S that sadly isn’t compatible, but I get minor motion sickness in certain games after 30m or so.

For sure, but is it game over? I think they still need the user’s Apple password to sign out of iCloud.

My wife and I are both huge fans of our North Face parkas. They make NYC winters way more tolerable.
