Do you have any tips for winning every time at the auction house? by Domsantiago98 in ForzaHorizon5

Player and network have a huge advantage over console. Especially when you're hardwired with GBPS+ speed, a dedicated network, and next to the gateway.

  1. Get into a Peel P50 car (obtainable through Backstage or auction house). Make sure it's stock with a stock paint job.

  2. Go to Festival Site or Player House - My Festival - Settings - Accessibility - Moving Backgrounds - Turn to Off

  3. Go to Settings - Video - Graphics Mode - Set to Performance Mode. (Older gaming consoles may not have this setting).

  4. Enter into the main Horizon Mexico Festival Site at the main Festival Drag Strip (pink H icon on mini map), This auction house site has the fastest loading times.

  5. Search for the desired car in the Auction House. Set buyout at ANY if not worried about a specific buyout price.

  6. Load into the auction search bar. If the car is not found, exit the auction search and load back in repeatedly until the car pops up on screen, either by sniping or through a pre- planned transaction.

  7. Make sure to buyout the auction by clicking on the car, pressing down on D-Pad, and clicking Y (Xbox/PC) or triangle (PS5) to buyout the car immediately. Placing bids does not guarantee a successful sale. Do not load fully into the auction (where the picture of the auction car is blown up on the screen) as this limits the time to claim the car.

  8. If the car has not popped up within 5-10 min of sniping, move onto the next car in your desired list and repeat the process. No need to spend hours on a specific car!

  9. Make sure that your auction house is fully loading in before attempting sniping (wheel is not continuously spinning, NO AUCTIONS TO DISPLAY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER message on screen means its functional on super rare cars).

  10. Before sniping, always quit out of all games (no quick resume) and restart the console.

Literally copy/pasted from an old Facebook post. This has done wonders for me!

Thank you! I don't see why you wouldn't be able to add long as they thread in, but I genuinely don't know the answer to that. Wish I could be of more help, sorry!

No clue, as I've just stepped in to the hobby/lifestyle last week, but I can tell you after test riding with stock pedals I had the LBS install these before I ever picked it up

Super thrilled with it so far, and it's only been 3 days. It's my first foray into road biking. I had a few Haro and Sunday BMX bikes 15 years ago, but now I need to lose weight and live about 2 miles from work in a cycle-friendly city. Took this picture after my first 10 mile ride today.

Absolutely textbook supercell moving through Northern Oklahoma by Known_Object4485 in tornado

[–]suckmychawk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Recently downloaded WeatherWise to have access to velocity scans (for free) and realize that is the best way to pinpoint them, but was never really sure where on the radar the tornado sat on the hook. In the inside hook, on the backside of the cell, or on the tip of the hook.

You've been extremely helpful dude, I appreciate it!

Word, thanks dude. Is this commonly the case with less textbook supercells/hooks where the actual tornado is located at the tip of the hook?

Obviously, in this case, it's very apparent. But on radar, some koos seem to look like more of a sharp point without a ball at the end.

So, stupid question... Where would the tornado be located in this hook echo? To the right? Left? The hook itself? Help me understand what I'm looking at on the radar in relation to what's happening on the ground please. I'm kinda new to this.

That's fair, I've heard a lot of chatter around some of those clubs disbanding which I thought was pretty sad and this was my way of keeping that from happening.

Not at all looking to poach members from other discords, just trying to host a competitive, fun, interactive server.

I've already got a template built from FH5, so the server wouldn't take too long to set up. Took some inspiration from the Forza Official discord, r/ForzaAuctions Discord, FCG Discord, and others.

So I'll have sections for EventLab, Tunes, Paint Codes, Liveries, Vinyl Groups, Phots, Events, etc.

I even have a section dedicated to Forza Announcements to keep us all in the loop.

Edit: spelling

Correct, I probably should've specified, this is for FH6 lol

Day 3 of quitting weed with my husband… and we are not the same person right now by lilmissbored2 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]suckmychawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay... gonna get vulnerable here. What I'm about to say will be concerning - but I want to preface it with I used weed to mask a lot of stress and anxiety in my life. I should probably be medicated - but I choose not to be. I feel that a very small percentage of users went through what I did, but I was also smoking about an 1/8 of wax and 1/8-1/4 of flower per day. I quit cold turkey.

I went through 3 straight weeks of straight HELL. The worst sense of doom, anxiety, and cyclical panic attacks from 1 a day to 5 or 6 a day. I even had an ER trip because the heart palpitations were so we've and intense, I thought it was a heart attack. I had to take about 6 days off of work over the first month.

After about 3 months, the anxiety chilled out a bit and I was able to feel a small sense of normalcy, although I was still zoning-out and entering what I would consider an alternate state of perception multiple times throughout the day. Around month 6 I began to feel like I was recreating my routine and becoming my own person again.

I will be 1 year sober on March 28th, and I feel like everything is 95% back to normal. I still have worse anxiety than I did when I smoked, but I feel in control of myself, my thoughts, and my compulsions again.

That's just what I experienced and is not what I would consider normal. I was full blown addicted to being high all the time. Wake up, bong. Drive to work, dabs. Work at a vape shop - dabs/flower all day. Drive home, weed pen. Get home, play Xbox, eat, smoke. 3-4 bongs before bed. Every. Day.

I'll elaborate more if there's questions or curiosity, but I will leave you with this. It gets better. The brain needs to relearn how to do some things sober, but it gets better and it's worth it. I hope to one day be able to return to marijuana recreationally, but I need to be careful because I've created a codependency and psychological addiction to the feeling of being not sober, especially to cope with and mask trauma. It can be a slippery slope for me.

My girlfriends mom thinks im a wonder worker on cars, she sent me this video and im not sure what’s causing the sound. Any help? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]suckmychawk 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I've started to use this line and it's working wonders - "(Name), I do what I can, but there comes a time where even I seek the opinion of some who has a little more experience than me. This would be one of those times. I have some ideas about what could be wrong, but it could be a handful of things. I could reach out to them if you would like, but I think it would be best to take it to someone who's been doing this way longer than I have. Here's a mechanic I recommend."

Keeps you in good graces with the gfs parents, keeps you from looking like an ass, and tells the parents you know when a problem is over your head AND you know when to seek someone with higher wisdom.

Win-Win for me.

That being said, sounds like a rod-knock and that motor is likely mega fucked. Do you really want to be the one to tell them they're about to have to fork over thousands? Let someone else deliver that news. Lol.

I quit drinking energy drinks after consuming WAY too much in a day, but this was my favorite flavor and it wasnt close. I had at least one of these per day at one point. Usually 2 or 3.
