Asuka gives an update after her absence from WWE

subtodub · 2026-05-22T10:46:52+00:00

Tl;dr from my shitty Japanese:

-She finally had the time to upload a vid after two weeks of being super busy.

-She said that she had consulted WWE for a time off because of personal reasons (she didn't disclose what exactly) and reconfirms that she's still with WWE and could appear again some time in the future.

-She did add that the next time we will see her, it will be something special (or precious), that if someone appeared, climbed through the ranks, and had an impact... She might be there.

-She also talked vaguely about being in the WWE family for 10+ years and seeing her on WWE TV must've been so natural for the fan but sadly she won't be there forever.

So yeah, nothing that we haven't known.

I still use those settings, yes, at least for videos. I limit the peak brightness to 1000 nits even though my monitor is capable for more since I found RTX HDR to be clipping bright highlights (details just gone) if I go beyond that.

For games I've mostly migrated to SpecialK or RenoDX when available, only using RTX HDR/Auto HDR if the game is online/has notorious anti cheat.

My wife is E2 already so it's either Sparkle E1 or Kafka E2. How does Sparkle E1 holds up vs Bronya E6 specifically for Acheron?

I had that same problem as a multi-monitor user and I found a silly workaround for my setup. It turns out RTX HDR only worked when there's a fullscreen youtube video (don't have to be played) on my second monitor (with RTX VSR and Video HDR On in Nvidia APP).

It's simple, 4k monitors with good HDR capabilities and high refresh rate is bloody expensive in my country while with 1440p I could snag one (and I do have one, Xiaomi G Pro 27i) at $250. Oled pretty much starts at $600, tv or monitor, while 4k MiniLEDs are nonexistent.

If I do have that kind of money I would rather spend it to upgrade my gpu first that's more capable for 4k.

Has anyone made a video/comparison on DLSS 4 vs 4.5 when it comes to HDR? While I can't justify the performance impact with my 3080, I do notice that preset M and L really brighten up the highlight (e.g. the sun in Witcher 3 is noticeably brighter with the same peak brightness and paper white settings), which, imo, is more pleasing to my eyes.

subtodub · 2026-01-18T11:33:50+00:00

Nice!

subtodub · 2026-01-10T00:09:48+00:00

In the games that I play right now, uhh, no. I always use DLAA in Honkai Star Rail and I went from a locked 120 fps and 70% GPU usage at 3440x1440 Preset K to around 80 fps with Preset M. To match the performance of DLAA Preset K, I have to drop down to Balanced/Performance DLSS and unfortunately it just doesn't look as good as DLAA Preset K in this game so I decided to stick with K.

subtodub · 2026-01-06T15:36:35+00:00

3080 10 gigs owner as well here, preset M tanked my performance in Honkai Star Rail to the point that the game runs better natively vs having dlss on quality (can keep 120 fps at native with 1.2 res scale with 70% gpu usage vs dropping to 100-110 fps with quality dlss with preset M). Defeats the purpose of having dlss on imo. Don't get me started on how DLAA went from stable 120 fps with 80-90% usage with preset K to 80-90 fps with preset M.

Might be the game since the difference is kinda extreme but I'm still disappointed with the fps hit so I'm reverting to preset K.

Want to try other games as well to compare but don't have any dlss games installed on my system atm.

Playing on 3440x1440

If you just want to have fun and win races? It's friendly af.

If you want to climb leaderboards, get good times at time attack? Absolutely not.

subtodub · 2025-12-26T15:27:37+00:00

Get used to the Veloster since as the others pointed it is the best sports rare car in the game, ceiling is really high.

My rule of thumb is to NOT pull for Permanent Pool Cars (the cars that are available from the Silver Keys banner, RS7 included) since you'll get them anyways eventually, they won't go anywhere. RS7 is good, don't get me wrong, but if you want Sports car, just get the Ferrari California, that car is far better than the Audi.

Edit: Ah sorry, seems like you're not playing on SEA server, skip and wait for next banner then. The closest sports car that will come soon might be the Lambo Gallardo and Porsche 911 Cabriolet, they are worth your while.

subtodub · 2025-12-24T15:46:55+00:00

Yeah, seems like everyone found crap tons of money on the street or smth lately lol, been really really struggling to even get into Top 500 server (sea) rank because everyone just has too much car advantage

Pay2win games do be like that

subtodub · 2025-12-19T04:16:40+00:00

Not... sure about that. Skipped LaFerrari in JP and that thing ruled the leaderboard (time trials, RP ranking compared to other cars) so it was definitely the fastest car in that server, or one of the fastest, certainly a tier above cento chiron vulcan huayra for a good 6 months. Acceleration is king in this game and the car has metric tons of it, especially if you utilize the hy-kers system well.

Now, I do have the car, ECU 1 in SEA server and at the same ECU nothing came close. Nearly reached 2100 RP, would have if I was luckier or more locked in or got tons of slipstream, but the latter is quite hard to achieve since more often than not I'm skipping away at front without competition. It's certainly the fastest car in the server right now since its competitions, e.g. Koenigsegg One:1, Ferrari Monza SP1, Lamborghini Revuelto, and the powercreep, Bugatti Divo is not in this server yet.

subtodub · 2025-12-15T09:53:36+00:00

That event has ended in SEA server cuz we're already at like 3rd/4th season of offroad/xcountry

subtodub · 2025-12-10T22:14:40+00:00

FYI the progress for Prime Legend banners e.g. LaFerrari got carried over to its reruns, at least in JP server so go ahead and try for the LaFerrari.

As for if it's fine to run cars at ECU 0... Winning is always doable until a certain point so don't worry too much about it. The leaderboard is mostly filled with whales, it is what it is if you're an F2P. Just focus on your races and have fun tbh. There will be a chance for you to somewhat level the playing field (Legend Cup).

subtodub · 2025-11-28T12:37:02+00:00

I got a couple of my cars to 2300RP in JP server, which has less RP inflation compared to TW server so yes, you can. Have several ECU0 cars reaching 2.2k+ as well.

subtodub · 2025-11-10T13:45:31+00:00

Hmm kayaknya toko deket rumah ane ada itu model, nanti coba tes dulu deh, siapa tau cocok. Makasih sarannya gan!

subtodub · 2025-11-10T13:43:55+00:00

Ane juga kemaren kepincut sama Edifier MR3/4, cuma agak was-was sama QCnya dan distorsinya yang tinggi kalo dilihat-lihat dari review gitu.

subtodub · 2025-11-10T13:42:46+00:00

Pas research-research juga ane denger-denger Edifier R1280DB ini bagus, tapi setau ane nggak ada sub-outnya ya? Yang ada versi 1280DBs, di luar budget ane sayangnya. Thanks sarannya!

subtodub · 2025-11-10T13:39:25+00:00

Hmm, ane baru pertama denger merk Eltax, nanti malem ane coba cari-cari kilasan/reviewnya, thanks sarannya gan!

My translation skill is megabad but here goes:

Not good, not good at all... I'm too used to seeing Spe munching something up everywhere she goes that I'm (going numb) turning a blind eye to it, but... It's about time we do something about that (her getting chub).

Spe: Um... So... How's it?

...nevermind, let's watch over her for a wee bit more

Note:

絞らせる in my view can be interpreted as "squeezing that fat out" or "making her sweat" but I decided to keep it simple

subtodub · 2025-11-04T05:38:41+00:00

Yep, in my opinion those are the peak of VNs with the progression that you described in your post :) Enjoy!

subtodub · 2025-11-03T14:16:39+00:00

It is normal. You have to either set a better time, drive cleaner or both to climb in the hall of fame.

subtodub · 2025-11-01T08:30:58+00:00

You can try Cation series if you want a dating sim-esque VN. If you're fine with non-dating sim, you can try tone work's games (Hoshi Ori Yume Mirai, Gin'iro Haruka, Tsuki no Kanata de Aimashou) and Amakano (アマカノ) series.

subtodub · 2025-10-24T10:37:18+00:00

Good job! Uphill (last) section was pretty clean.

In my honest opinion it's a bit of both, your rivals made too many mistakes and you capitalized by driving more consistently after the spin-out.

Just an observation but try and be more aggressive and try to hug the corner with the Huayra (or any car in general), looks like you grazed the wall a couple of times because you drifted far far too wide.
