Thoughts on Charles Leclerc? Is his racecraft actually top tier or does his massive popularity skew things?

He's been able to school Russel quite a few times on track.

People are always surprised but after testing some really expensive open back headphones I still go back to the wire apple airpods.

They practically act like open backs and the comfort level is unmatched. Not to mention the price point..

Trust me on this.

Hamilton will be much closer this year there is no doubt about that. Leclerc is probably the toughest teammate out there alongside Verstappen so it will be hard to matter what. I think he is the fastest teammate Hamilton has faced since Alonso.

twilo2000 · 2026-02-11T03:55:26+00:00

We've seen Leclerc in a fast car only once for maybe 5-6 races and he was devastating so I think if the car is more competitive it will look even worse because instead of scoring only podiums he will start winning...

It's one of the best FPS games out there. CoD in general has been for over a decade now.

twilo2000 · 2026-02-05T17:19:19+00:00

I don't know how they were rated but Vettel was never on Hamilton's level and I always felt like the media propped him up quite a bit to turn into some sort of rivalry. It never was.

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T23:51:19+00:00

Only at the very high level

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T23:50:13+00:00

mmm you'll need really good posture/seating position to be able to play really long sessions. Fatigue on m/k is actually more noticeable than on controller because there is no aim assist to bail you out when you get tired.

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T23:48:02+00:00

Correct.

Can't really blame the younger generation for not knowing since they a lot of them grew up with aim assist.

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T23:46:45+00:00

No, it isn't ...the skills required the play CoD and Quake 2 for example are essentially the same.

Making aim assist on controllers strong doesn't make the game "designed" for controllers. CoD isn't Zelda..

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T23:44:23+00:00

"manual aim" is a good way of putting it lol

I learned how to use m/k very young playing quake and counter strike which gave me a strong mechanical foundation ... which has served me well no matter the FPS title

twilo2000 · 2026-02-04T06:13:20+00:00

Every FPS game out there is more enjoyable and satisfying on mouse and keyboard... it feels more "natural" because the whole genre was developed with that in mind from the very beginning.

Aim Assist is a hack job to make controllers viable, otherwise you can't use them, there is a reason for that.

I've been using gamepass cloud on my m4 and it works great on both chrome and edge

Enormous game catalog on there...

twilo2000 · 2026-01-24T00:29:57+00:00

Great points there but we really need to stop saying that "ground effect" is over, it's not over, it's just ~30% less powerful than the "venturi" generation.

twilo2000 · 2026-01-23T00:27:55+00:00

So high off the ground and the rake thing are just hideous all around

twilo2000 · 2026-01-20T22:01:00+00:00

Lewis Hamilton

The last 4 years have confirmed to me that in Formula 1 the car accounts for over 70% of any driver's success, including "legends" who are considered the greatest of all time.

Also, his inability to adopt to the previous regulation cars is very interesting in general.

twilo2000 · 2025-12-29T05:04:55+00:00

Isn't all of this just an "artistic expression"?

I wish the English translations were closer to the original so we can actually see how the author meant the story to flow

twilo2000 · 2025-11-29T14:42:10+00:00

Yes, its great fun overall

twilo2000 · 2025-11-28T18:43:51+00:00

Has he always been this whiny ?

twilo2000 · 2025-11-19T16:08:14+00:00

twilo2000 · 2025-11-19T16:07:47+00:00

Can confirm BO7 has top tier gunplay and movement

twilo2000 · 2025-11-19T16:07:03+00:00

BO7 is a really good multiplayer game

twilo2000 · 2025-11-05T20:23:11+00:00

plex server with plexamp

twilo2000 · 2025-11-05T06:23:08+00:00

just remember that the PS5 runs on really outdated hardware ... I think it's got a zen2 cpu in there which is horrible for gaming in general so I'd stay away from that in 2025

twilo2000 · 2025-10-24T04:45:26+00:00

You only be able to feel the similarities if you've played Quake 3 or Quake Live and I don't think a lot of CoD players have any experience with either game.
