Walking in a massive city in Flight Sim '24 gives a pretty liminal feel.

I'm walking through Chicago in the video, seeing if I can scope out any places that I know in real life. What I get as a result of this experiment is what looks like a post apocalyptic world where everything was destroyed and disfigured.

I knew because of the photogrammetry (however you spell that) that it wouldn't look all that great, but I wasn't expecting this level of creepiness.

What really got me, and you can see it about midway through the video, was looking down into this hole in the ground and seeing a melted looking truck of some kind just sitting there in the darkness. Made my heart jump out of my ass.

Was just looking around Lukla, seeing the sights, when a rougue 767 ruins it and fatally wounds me.

I will be suing his family and will take possesion of his belongings.

What is your favorite MOMENT in a Deftones song

This isn't favorite song, but specifically moment in a song even if the song itself isn't in your favorites.

My favorite moment in all of the band's discography is when Chino hits that high note in Digital Bath, good lord no matter how many times I listen to that song I get chills.

Or Rodleen Getsic's part in Knife Prty.

Sliding an F1 car around Bathurst while trying find the limit of grip (found it a bit after the pic)

Built this jet based off of the plane in the last slide. (SP1)

I called it the XDF-02 Knight, an advanced heavy air superiority fighter. And it also looks like the Morgan from Ace Combat.

I think the new physics update exposed the people who don't know how cars work.

I see alot of people complaining how the cars feel looser especially under braking and how cars feel less predictable in rally races. And I'm looking at these comments like "Yeah that's how cars work." Like try to turn a car under hard braking, see how well that works for you.

I love how thw cars don't feel as stiff as they did previously, there's some dynamics to how the cars move under heavy load, like how the car can wobble a little bit under extreme braking depending on wheel position.

Found a reason to collect all the clothing items and emotes.

Recently I started to let my wife customize my character (which is one of the female ones for weight reduction).

Every season I let her customize the character to what she thinks goes well with the season. She's done a pretty good job so far although I'm no fashion expert.

Now I want PG to add more clothing options so that she can have more options to dress the character with!

Plus more hairstyles too, she says that there aren't enough braided hair options. So get on it PG, the lady demands it.

I really have to hand it to the Playground/Turn 10 team. They really killed it with the handling in FH6.

Currently I'm testing every car in the game (as of typing this) at the Legend Island track to see each of their laptimes. And one thing I can't help but notice is how in depth each car feels going around the circuit.

From zippy little sports cars, to the latest hypercars, to even the old grandpa cruisers. Each car feel distinctly different from one another. I haven't driven a single car so far that feels similar to another.

Even the overall handling of the game I have to applaud. The way the cars step out and how you can feel the car settle and move throughout the corners is unlike anything I've ever felt in a racing game before. You actually have to dance with the car to get it to perform the way you want it to at the limit.

I love how you have to modulate the brakes for it to perform at it's best. You can't just stomp on it or else you'll lock up and crash into a barrier. And even this is different per car! Some cars you have a little grace period before the wheels lock up at full pressure, yet with others the second that brake pressure hits 100% you're smashing into a wall. And that's not even to mention how the terrain affects the locking point too.

Not even Gran Turismo, a game that I think is superior to the Forza series personally, is this in depth with their physics.

Forza Horizon 6 is hands down my favorite handling racing game right now. From the beautiful scenery (sucks that as soon as I get the game it's the snowy season), to the superb car sounds and the afformentioned physics. I can see myself spending 1000s of hours in thia game. Even when FH7 comes out I will always come back to this one. FH6 is now my new FH2 in terms of how I feel about it.

Sorry for the long post but I really had to gush about this game, and I only got it last Thursday!

Saw this jet on a post in r/WeirdWings, which essentially an IRL (kinda) Morgan. I tried my best to recreate it in Simpleplanes

It's not 100% done but it's mostly there. Just needs to few details added. It's called the XDF-02 Knight.

Future Fighters: 1984’s perspective on the future of military aviation.

I found this very cool old book today, it’s filled with crazy designs and cool artwork. Some concepts (and images) are very familiar, others are new to me.

Being published in 1984 is actually a really cool moment in time for fighters. Many of the conceptual designs from back then end up becoming real. The MiG-29 speculation is particularly interesting.

Made it to KDFW and took some of my favorite picture ls today. There was even a classic American Airlines livery 737!!!

TIL: The Aston Martin VGT has active brake cooling rims that move depending on brakes.

Had an interesting time travel dream where I went back to the 60s

So I just had a dream where I went back in time to 1968 (I was supposed to be in the 50s but I guess I input a number wrong.)

I manage to get help from this family, a mom and his son, Ethan who I spend the majority of this dream with. They were both very nice, I talked future and past stuff with Ethan and his mom (I forgot her name unfortunately.)

Towards the end of the dream I tried to set up a plan where I head back to the year 2026 to find Ethan who lived in a place called Clerk county (I tried to ask about where they lived but I think I was actually maxing out my brain's RAM or something because neither could give me an answer and when I tried to check my phone the screen was glitching and showing in black and white.)

Plot twist btw, when I tried to show the kid my modern phone, he pulled out more phones from the 2020s to 2010s. He's met other time travellers before!

His mom got really mad at him for that. Anyways I told Ethan that in 58 years hopefully I will see him again, Ethan was around 8 or so in the dream.

I got emotional and hugged the kid while saying that I hope to see you there and that I loved them both. I gave the mom a hug too and left the family and 1968 behind.

The very last thing to happen in this dream was like a sneak peak into where my next time travel adventure would take me, which was the year 2020. Right before everything locked down. I tried to enter that time but I woke up.

Tried to make a GR.4 C8 (Tune in the comments)

It can keep with GR.4 cars no problem, only thing is that it likes to step out a bit when you lead foot it.

I've been getting really good with race photos.

Once I've discovered tweaking shutter speed and playing with the filters, my pictures have been popping off.
