After messing around with the settings and tuning the basic things like steering ratio. I find the game to be a lot more welcoming on controller without any assists. With steer filter and steering assist in controller I was able to smooth out the steering and create sufficient room for me to work with the stick and not literally translate every input 1:1 like iRacing which is just atrocious.

Also they should rename steer assist and filter in controller settings to something mode appropriate. I had it disable for sometime think it was assists but all it does is smooths out your input based on your speed and keep the inputs consistent and linear.

No clue about competitive but its really sufficient to get started, learn and unnoticed your technique and be in the mid pack if not in the medute

I think it's because I'm new only like 20 hours in the game but I drive clean (used to play AC) or maybe it's because I just have the base game. Most of the multiplayer games are just in accessible and it's just beginner Monza lobbies. What do I need to do to play some more intermediate or at least join other kind of races getting bored of playing only this again and again on multiplayer. Like do I need to progress through the campaign or do something else as a pre-requisite?

DLC I'm planning to get in the upcoming Steam sale unless if you guys know I can get them on a discount somewhere else as well.

Thanks, love the game.

Trying to wrap my head around how do I configure or what are the things to configure. Currently, it tries to do an ocr with some python script then it's like oh that's not present. While, I have enabled a model with vision capabilities and I want it to just throw that image to that vision models and get the details. Currently, it's a little loose ended and goes into these triaging loops which I don't like.

I finally figured out how to chain my spells from YT and now I'm ending most fights in two turns and it's because of Polymorph. Only with 5 points I get Apotheosis, Skin Graft, Flay Skin or the fun ones like Chicken Claw, Terrain Transmutation and on top of that it gives 1 attribute point - what the hell....

The spells are complete bonkers and go along with any build - I have it with my warfare, scoundrel and necromancer. Jeez - I now get it why people don't find healing spells useful when you can just end the game or cause catastrophic amount of damage in the first turn.

Previously, I was dragging the fights to 5-6 turns because I would run out of source and good abilities.

I was a week off duloxetein because ran out of dosage. Apart from the withdrawal symptoms I was moving a lot more and feeling more energetic to workout. After I started duloxetein 40mg I can now notice I constantly feel like heavy and avoid moving as a result.

Into Act 4 and it feels like Beast is the official side character of this game. The character has all the ingredients to aura farm at the same level of Fane and Red Prince but man he's so uninterested in all of this and barely has anyththing interesting to say or add.

It can't search both music and videos in Library. The search is also so damn broken it doesn't match any keyword you really need to try different keywords until you get it. The search outside library is also horrible - it ranks the most unrelated thing first and actual thing which I have interacted with in the past at the bottom.

Searching for Album and Artist is horrible as well - it doesn't show artist when you're actually searching for them and for some reason it doesn't search channels. Why would you create a library mix of videos and music from youtube and build this horrible search.

I don't think there is any saving. Just fire the entire team working on this and let Claude do - like how difficult is todo a simple FTS on names, artist, channel and the common metadata in 2026.

Jesus, if it wasn't for indie artist I would be done with crap.

I'm almost done with Act 2 in DOS2 and this has been the absolute anti rogue or warfare technique. All of my party members have a teleportation and three of them have ruptured tendons spell. I usually enter the fight from a distance and wait for them to use their movement abilities then ruptured tendons on the strongest and off you go while I deal with the rest. I almost feel bad for Jonathon, Demon Advocate, Mordus and Black Ring Guy who died to trying to cover ground back into the battlefield.

Are cabs the only option to go-to the air port from Sector 7 in early morning at 6.

I kept seeing status page tools that cost $30–100/mo for what's basically "ping a URL and draw green bars." Figured it couldn't be that hard. Turns out it's not hard, but there are a bunch of non-obvious decisions if you want it to actually scale and not rack up a surprise bill.

The naive approach breaks fast

One server, one cron loop, write every check to a database. A single monitor on a 1-minute interval is ~43k rows/month. Fine for one user. Multiply across many customers and you're either paying a lot in DB writes or batching things in ways that hurt response time on the status page during an actual outage, exactly when it matters most.

What I ended up with

One Durable Object per monitor. Each monitor is its own stateful instance that self-schedules with Cloudflare's alarm() API, no central poller iterating over a table. Raw check results go into the DO's own embedded SQLite, never touching the main DB mid-flight. This was the biggest architectural unlock: you get per-monitor isolation, parallelism, and no lock contention, but you now have to think carefully about what leaves the DO and when.

Main DB writes are rare by design. D1 (Cloudflare's SQLite at the edge) only gets written on status transitions (up to down, down to up) and once daily for a rollup: uptime %, avg/p95 latency, downtime seconds. Raw history gets compressed to NDJSON and pushed to R2 with a lifecycle policy. The tricky part is the rollup logic: you have to handle the midnight UTC boundary correctly across monitors in different timezones, and the daily aggregate has to be idempotent since the DO could retry.

Edge caching the public page is load-bearing, not optional. Status pages are read-heavy and write-rare, but traffic spikes hard exactly during incidents. A 30-second edge cache means thousands of visitors coalesce into one DB read. Without it, a high-profile outage could take down the status page announcing the outage.

Custom domains were the most finicky part. Cloudflare for SaaS lets you auto-provision TLS for customer vanity domains (status.yourcompany.com), but a */* Worker route shadows everything on the same zone. If custom hostnames lived on ampliflare.com, they'd clobber the app's own subdomains and staging environments. The fix: a completely separate, dedicated zone where the catch-all is safe because there's nothing else on it. Customers point a CNAME and the cert provisions automatically on our side.

Stack: Workers + Durable Objects + D1 + R2, Hono, Astro + React, Drizzle. No servers to babysit.

If you want this without the implementation work, I've shipped it as Ampliflare. Add a monitor, attach it to a page, optionally point your domain at it. Docs: https://ampliflare.com/docs/status-pages/

I bought annual subscription last year because I wanted to try it out - it was expiring next month and I found it to be worth it. But they removed the Lifetime plan dang! that was a very short life time.

I want know if there are any mouse in India which can be serviced like my hot swappable keyboard. Now, that all of keys are giving out after 4 years I can easily purchase switches and replace them. I'm willing to pay 10-15k for a mouse but I want all of their buttons and scroll to be replaceable. The closest replacement I have found was moving to an Apple Magic Trackpad for all things other than gaming. HyperX Haste, Logitech SuperLight or even some niche brands like Ducky the switch is a bottleneck. Let me know if anyone can also import it for me..

The title pretty much but anyone feels like planning something on a physical calendar is easier because they just have dates and you can be with your thoughts? While, these digital calendars in the modern day have so much stuff into them by default - the whole month view is shoved into some corner with tiny dates.

I think at times I just don't know if it’s even a prompting issue the model just does not improve. It has no intuition of what is the problem at hand. Unless I start writing every small detail while I'm already working with a very detailed and clear prompts. The code has docs, it has strong guards around not acceptable with clearly defined patterns and its connected to Obsidian with session and plan logs. The biggest pain is not being able to have something meaningful after two hours of run. I don't code like some freak but I know 5 hours in I'll be right where I want to be.

I don't think we will really be able to figure out because LLMs by their nature. Planning to work in a time box model but I'm starting to think what should be limits because it almost seems like it will get it right next time and you realize have wasted the day and haven't gone anywhere meaningful.

I love robbing in this game. I robbed everyone in Fort Joy. I robbed the priest, monks, traders, slaves, poor mums, zaleskar and even the kids. I love robbing so much in this game I think of intricate ways to rob someone. Robbing Shaeila and Griff was so much fun I think I used more brain power trying to rob them then kill them. I can't wait to rob everyone at Driftwood now.

Unable to figure out if I can manage Things3 from my OpenCode terminal. Any idea?
