The non PP limited races are a joke, IMO those should have the payout linked to the PP of the car. You take a 450 into a 550 race, double payout. Take a 650 in, half payout. Also maybe dont call it PP because it makes talking about it sound like a dick joke.

IMO if you turn the difficulty up to hard and turn all the drivers aids off its plenty challenging for people new to sim racing, I see how veterans might find it a bit simple.

Gran Turismo 7 was the worst offender I’ve had in a long time. It was very pretty and very well put together but it just wasnt fun.

But a few years later and a YT rabbit hole or two and I decided to give it a go on a very basic simrig setup and… yep, theres the fun.

They can hate the Ayatollah AND the US at the same time.

You know what people also historically hate? People coming and making changes for them for their own good.

Yeah Curse of Monkey Island does have a few “Oh come the fuck on!” Moments.

I hear it more from people I’d consider pretentious, usually involving food or decorating.

I treat this one with a grain of salt, because its very good at some things and utterly fucking useless at others.

I needed to know what company made the gearbox in a certain car. No matter what I searched in 3 different search engines all I could find was people wanting to sell me stuff for the gearbox or gearboxes. I spent an hour before I asked ChatGPT and it immediately spat out “The gearbox is a 4l80 produced by Aisin transmissions” which I then spent some time verifying. At the core if search engines hadnt been enshitified, ChatGPT would be nothing more than a novelty. But because they have, its a sometimes useful tool that anyone with half a brain verifies.

If you treat it like gospel, yeah… your an idiot.

See I had the same thought, its entirely possible that some people packed some extra hard snowballs and really put some heat on them just because they were cops.

There is a line, its possible that line was crossed.

I built one back pre-christmas using ddr5 and onboard graphics. It wound out at about $500usd. Onboard Graphics which wasnt a dealbreaker for my wife but it was pretty ideal for a “rig now, gpu later” type plan.

Its like when I talk about cars.

I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that I could do half drunk back when I was drinking. Unless you’re swapping the engine for something not meant for that car I would describe that job as big but easy.

And then I remember a lot of people know make and model and thats it.

I havent watched LTT content in a while but I was watching that stream and Lukes face when Linus says that will live forever rent free in my head.

I think you have what I mean twisted. What life is like for people stuck in the poverty or trailer park cycle is not a universal experience and for all the people that do get it or do empathise and have an understanding that “this is a window into a world I’m not from presented in a humorous way” theres someone sitting there laughing thinking that the whole thing is a wild exaggeration, laughing at the idea that people are really like that or using it to confirm their own biases “the parts that confirm my biases are facts and the parts that dont are just entertainment”

Me hating the show isnt a commentary on its quality, the creators and cast should be very proud of it. I just cant stand to sit and watch it because some of it is too real to be funny as someone who also came up really fucking poor.

Thats the same reason I hate Trailer Park Boys.

So much of it is laughing at the poors. I know people who are so sheltered and middleclass they think “LoL can you imagine if people lived like this”

Bruh, you ever known people born into generatiknal poverty?

I will always defend BBT as 6 seasons of a great show dragged out and dumbed down for prime time. I think if someone went through it and discarded the filler jokes, arcs that go nowhere and excessive laugh track it could have been really good.

My wife likes the show as background noise and I’ve studied it. Theres some real relationship writing and some genuinely good character growth, some of the non “Ha! Nerds!” Jokes are actually pretty funny.

As a grown man the subject of getting smacked with a thong/flip flop came up and well… we tested it. Grown men spanking each others bare arses with a flip flop. We all agreed that while the activity was slightly gay, it was also hilarious and incredibly painful.

In short, it sucks as much as it did when you were a kid.

IMO even with all its problems Predators was possibly the best thing in the franchise.

If thats my take how will I feel about this movie?

“Unity, make me a clone of the original Angry Birds back before it was a shameless cash hungry shitshow”

I know this is a joke but as someone who works in logistics pack it like its going to be handled by a minimum wage worker whose time and volume metrics are closely tracked. Because it is.

To you its special, to them its 1 of 200 today.

Enthusiasts are also terrible for advice.

For 95% of people a high end soundbar is going to tick all their boxes and then some. 95% of enthusiasts asked for advice will tell you they suck and you’re wasting your money.

I dont want every thing in my life to be a minor hobby. Good Enough is just that.

Also people who by and large havent been out living wild social lives for quite a while. Laser beam focused on one goal. Once you have competed, one way or another the pressure is off and you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.

Its so prevalent that I had an idea for a movie of a bunch of recently retired dudes being bored with getting old and deciding to re-enact a bunch of their favorite pranks from old movies only to get in JUST far enough to be in deep shit and then realise they are committing felonies and their antics trying to extract themselves.
