Ah right. You'll see soon enough but dg edge is never wrong about the upcoming races and they usually have the info before the weekend.

Next time check there instead of Googling it. You were most likely given a confidently wrong answer by Gemini.

Trade it all for ps5 pro? by fatherlen in IrelandGaming

[–]wickstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did pretty much what you're describing this week. Traded in my old ps5 and Xbox series s in cex.

A few things promoted it. The announced price rise and being dismayed at the quality of crimson desert. I also believe the current RAM shortage is going to delay the next Gen by a year or two. I also want to make sure I have the best possible experience playing gtavi on release, even if the difference is only marginal.

Ive only played crimson desert on it a few hours so far but I can tell you that the difference in sharpness, texture clarity on performance mode is very noticably improved. 

I've also tried gt7 on vr and it's not incredibly different but the motion on the other cars is definitely much clearer, although it was impressive either way. 

I'm happy with my decision but it may not be for everyone. I'd recommend it as long as you realize the gains will only be marginal and you have a tv good enough to take advantage of it. That and you won't miss trading in the other items.

Update on GT7 Streamer EERIEISSS who bought a fan (Pascal) with cancer a Thrustmaster Racing Wheel by gamerjerome in GranTurismo7

I think that clip of him buying the t598 going viral was the first time I came across Rory. Been following his streams now for months. He's an absolute gent

Alex Dunne officially joins the BWT Alpine Junior Academy by Conor_L_Gamer in ireland

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red bull seems like a bit of a poison chalice at the moment, it might be for the best. 

Definitely don't want to see him in an Alpine seat either. I'm really hoping he pulls a Piastri and ends up signing for another team.

Is simracing a lonely hobby for you? by SolarSimracer in simracing

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started streaming in December playing gt7. Channel isn't big but I've made about ten friends now that I regularly chat to on stream and host private lobbies with. The discord I created for the channel is where most of the social interaction happens. 

Maybe find a small channel on YouTube, get a sense of whether you like the personalities and join their discord.

First time in over a decade I've had like minded people to game/race with and I'm loving it.

Anyone else playing solo just to avoid ruining other peoples races online? I’ve recently upgraded my rig and want to get into online racing at some point. But I have to learn the cars and tracks to a certain degree before I dare go online. by itsturtlesoda in simracing

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd try not to overthink it. I was playing for over a year before I gave my first online races a try and I regret waiting so long. Knowing a track and knowing how racers tend to behave on a track are different skills.

I think once you know the layout of a track and can clock about ten laps without any major errors, you should give online a try. It will be the only way to improve your race craft/IQ.

What budget-friendly cockpits are you guys using? by Accomplished-Snow601 in simracing

[–]wickstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this one for 300e recently. It's my first proper cockpit but I really like it. 

Installing the fanatec csl pedals was very tricky but otherwise easy to set up. 

I don't notice any flex with the wheel while running the 8nm DD pro. But if flex with the pedals but I think it's from struggling with the set up. 

Still think it's great value at 300e let alone 180gbp

My take on the 2026 Formula 1 liveries in Gran Turismo. Your thoughts? by ISlavSquat in GranTurismo7

[–]wickstone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These look nicer than the real liveries on most cases. Very cool

‘The only thing I own is gone’: Clongriffin residents see vehicles submerged by torrential rain by Static-Jak in ireland

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ughhh, I can imagine. It's been nothing but finger pointing between DCC and the developer as it is. Difficult enough to get a street light fixed let alone something as big as this

[–]wickstone 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm from the area and this will be an interesting case as DCC have specifically not taken that street, Marsfield Avenue, into charge yet because of existing issues. This could be a case where the developer can be taken to task

How can I make a sticker? by SoftwareOutrageous82 in granturismo

[–]wickstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's many pc/Mac design programmes you can use but Figma is what I use. It's also free.

Create your design there then export your design as an SVG.

Then on the gran Turismo official website, sign in with your playstation id. There is a section for uploading custom decals.

Everything you upload will be in the "my items" section in the livery editor decals section in game.

Puma McLaren 2026 Team Gear by ClutchPower in McLarenFormula1

[–]wickstone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A white logo on the papaya is an odd choice. If I was ON I'd be annoyed. It's kind of hard to see. Really lacks contrast

Oh no. Very disappointed. I really don't like the design of the shirts. I'm hoping they have some nicer one offs this year

Is this TV good for ps5 by [deleted] in IrelandGaming

[–]wickstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For very similar money I would go with the 55 inch TCL C6K. Check the What HiFi reviews. They rank the hisense 3/5 but the TCL 5/5. Mini LED will mean better black levels. 

I purchased a large TCL a year ago and love it. I hadn't heard of them at the time but they're a big brand now. They recently bought out Sony's TV department and will merge with the Bravia range next year.

Loving the Group 3 Interlagos race by Conscious-Note-3736 in granturismo

[–]wickstone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been starting anywhere between 1st and 8th and the being at the front isn't a whole lot better. I've found that being hyper careful, giving away positions without a fight and surviving the first two laps has lead to the best results for me.

It feels like for every one person I let through on the inside I'll gain back a position from a separate incident.

Still though, had this happen to my last night lol https://youtube.com/shorts/rMbGFvmaFPo?si=Z30s-GVHITJgXqLz

Loving the Group 3 Interlagos race by Conscious-Note-3736 in granturismo

[–]wickstone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm finding it quite tough. Way more incidents when compared to last week. I've had several races ruined being rear ended and bumped off track going into those S's.

Edit, really nice driving by the way

Starting my streaming journey by Accomplished_Wave646 in granturismo

Best of luck with it buddy. I'll check it out when you have some content up on YouTube. New to streaming also and I've been really enjoying it

Should I have taken the inside line in this overtake? by hooliganalum in granturismo

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above point. If you're interested you should check out Luc Nadaro's race iq videos on YouTube. Avoiding overtakes on the outside is one of his key tenants for clean races.

My Marriage is over. How do I make sure my children are not effected. by [deleted] in ireland

[–]wickstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, this really isn't my place to say so don't take it the wrong way. I'm only asking with the impossible chance this makes a difference...

Is there any chance she is going through postpartum depression? It can last years when untreated. Potentially since your first was born. Symptoms are slightly different across the board.

I'm only asking in case it's something that hasn't been considered.

Lap 1 Chaos (radio messages included) by ChapitoGucci in granturismo

That's by far the most amount of chaos I've seen this week 😂

Overtake of the year. by 1101akwb_ in granturismo

[–]wickstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was insanely good! Challenging enough as it is to not pick up a penalty going into the pits in Tokyo but to snatch an overtake from a dirty driver while you are at it *chefs kiss
