Superhero culture is embarrassing
Greboth replied to phil bottle's topic in Books / Comics / Reading
I’m not sure that I’d agree about the white supremacy part. Any content created by a culture for that culture is heavily focused on the same. American comics written primarily for Americans are going to sell best when featuring mostly Americans - who are mostly white. It’s like moaning that Chinese movies made for China star mostly Chinese actors - like duh! As for them being for adults not wanting to leave their childhood. Potentially accurate, I’ve seen it mentioned several times that comic book popularity correlates well to depressing and troubling times. The ‘golden age’ of comics was the great depression and WW2. It isn’t so surprising that with some of the shit going on in the world today people take solace and comfort in comic books. Though take out the ‘super’ part and the stories are basically action and thriller stories. With the Marvel movies adding a a hefty dose of comedy in there too. Or are all those genre’s also embarrassing? And finally, who TF cares? What you do in your free time is up to you. As long as it isn’t illegal....well some illegal is maybe ok but nothing too heinous... then that’s none of my or his business. -
Haha derp, completely missed that you’re stateside. Though I didn’t know Onevia’s were stock over there - learn something new every day 🙂 Styling wise, it’s totally subjective and as long as you like it then that’s all that matters.

Friend 👍 😆 Welcome to the forum, there’s not enough racers on this forum so nice to gain another one. What set up do you have for your sim racing? Any particular class you like racing? We have a GT Sport time trial generally ticking over for a bit of fun. Though PC wise I know Phil and I have Project Cars 2 so maybe we get some racing done. I don’t know if Phil has any other pc sims though I’ve also got AC, LFS and R3. I’ve got an iRacing account too but no active subscription at the moment. We also do have a Minecraft server running. Currently we have it running the Sky Factory 3 mod pack. We have a section on it further down though know I’m remembering that our server IP address changed and I don’t think I’ve ever updated the thread - oops. If you want to join though, drop me your name and I can whitelist you.

I'd love to go a track day or motorsport event as media as the access you have in so much better. The proble is I'd love to do it at a proper event (like Goodwood, 4hr or Silverstone, F1 etc.) which are all going to be really difficult ones to get media passes for. I've done both the Revivial and the Festival of Speed and I can't recommend them enough if you're in to your cars. If you're in to your newer cars then probably Festival of Speed but the whole experience of the Revival is unrivaled. I'll have to dig out my FoS photos as I don't seem to have them to hand but a selection from last years Revival.

Saw it the weekend and loved it, they glossed over some bits like the car originally being a Lola though even that wasn’t completely ignored. The story was more accurately the Ken Miles story but how many people are going to know who he was. Bales accent wasn’t perfect but I guess most people feel that way about their accents on the big screen. Still both Bales and Damon’s were brilliant and they carried the film well.

I do like Onevia’s and certainly not something you see every day. Out of interest why did you go KA24? I’d imagine there’s more parts available for CA18’s or SR20’s.
-
Nice shot, do you do it just as a spectator or as pro / job? I’ll have to post my Goodwood photos for your critique.
-
I’m down for this 😄
-
Damn that’s close, I might have to put a few more laps in to see if I can go faster. Though I know Sardegna is a bogey track for me, I can never seem to get close to the fast times.
-
So a few more laps of Sardegna and I’ve managed a 1:19.035. With some more practice and stringing all my best sectors together I’d guess I could knock off another 0.5-1 second off that.
-
There’s been several updates since this thread, most notably the addition of Spa. There was a leaked image of Laguna Seca which has now apparently been confirmed 😄 Laguna Seca is one of those iconic tracks so its brilliant that it is being added to GT Sport.
-
The R8? I was using the Lambo on Sardegna and the Mustang on Mount Panorama. The mustang understeers massively though so want to try a car with a better front end.
-
Yes Phil you need to enable BoP. I know the official races force hard tyre but for our TT I’m still using the super softs. Also, to help your ageing memory - remember to turn BoP on 😛
-
Quickly smashed out 5 laps of both combo's while I was waiting for something to download Mount Panorama; 2:11.478 Sardenga: 1:19.663 There's probably a bit more to come on Mount Panorama but I know that track quite well so probably not too much more. First time driving this layout of Sardegna though so I'm sure there's a decent amount of time to be found there.

Welllllll fuck, missed that 🤣

Fortnite, King of the Kill, BO4 Blackout etc. are examples of Battle Royale. A large number of players spawn in on a large map and last man or last squad standing.
-
I’m happy to follow the combos of the weekly races as I’ll (we’ll?) be practising / racing the combos anyway.
-
Yup, I’ve been looking forward to this since they announced it and the first 2 eps have been brilliant. I’ve enjoyed the previous animated SW series but being live action they have really captured the SW feeling. The end of the first ep was a surprise, that isn’t what I was expecting give the setting. Ep2 was good too, showed off a decent amount of action and who can complain about Jawa’s.

I haven’t played HC properly since MW2 but I did enjoy playing it last night and could see me playing it more often again. I couldn’t get on with the FAL in core but it is a beast in HC. With the exception of one game on Piccadilly and strange game of S&D it seems people move around more on HC which is a bit weird.

I can appreciate the problem is poses and I’m not trying to defend CoD. I just don’t see how other games could get round this problem. Stand really close to a wall and you’ll have this exact problem in real life too. There are some smart people working in game dev so maybe they have found a solution to this - I don’t know. It’s easy to jump on the lol CoD is shit bandwagan especially without presenting any balance to the videos. So yes CoD has this problem but if other games have the same problem then you can’t criticise CoD for it. If it is a CoD specific problem then it shouldn’t be hard to show other games doing it right. For the record too, I’m not talking about any confirmation bias which is what some of these fall in to.

Surely Drift0r’s video is explained the the broken angles video? He mentions it in the video about what causes it so I’d be interested to know how other FPS games perform in the same scenario. As it seems it is a limitation of a single camera perspective which surely effects most/all FPS?
-
Haha yeah, it is amazing how much BoP slows some cars down. On 👍
-
A quick go of 10 laps I’ve set a 2:17.4 Even that was a scruffy lap so I think I could get a 16.x if I keep it clean.
-
Guessed you might have but still, it’s a new track so no-one is going to have had loads of practice.
