    That Forza Horizon design looks like the time I sneezed with a bloody nose. People raving about it though, so to each their own I guess.

    Forza Horizon 5

    Same bugs as FH4 but managed to introduce new ones. It's a bit perplexing. The resume function I think is causing some of my audio and artifact graphics issues. Maybe crashes. Memory leak on consoles now?

    Forza Horizon 5

    It's the principle of it, maaan! I usually skipped online stuff in FH4. When I did the races was top one or two most of the time (want to say probably 80% beat all AI) and team usually won. Was a challenge and some luck required, but never a kick in the dick like FH5 has been. Meanwhile, the...

    Forza Horizon 5

    Thanks guys! I knew bitching about it would be what helped. Next attempt I was able to get in the lead on the first race and slow the AI down. Actually swept top 5 spots. Barely won second race, but good enough. Finally done with that shit.

    Forza Horizon 5

    Have attempted the trial co-op race probably 10 times. Couple times my own teammate rammed me to miss a checkpoint. Few others they just rammed each other enough we lost. Then again people near the front were also ramming each other and wall riding, so I guess that's working as intended...

    NBA 2021-22 Season Thread - [Insert Whitty Title Here]

    It only wasn't a closed fist because LeBron's fist got caught on the dudes hand and his fist comes undone. Not sure why that would matter. People (loosely defined) are saying LeBron was genuinely sorry because it was unintentional, he was just tryna get his hand/arm free and it came loose from...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Had a few bags break from seal in the freezer, but only for pork roasts. It's weird. Never in sous vide though. But yeah, had a few pork chops that were strangely firm on after sous vide. You salt before freezing? I thought that led to firm, dry steaks.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Haven't had the mealy/mushy issue. Maybe because when I sous vide it's meat that's been vacuum sealed and frozen. My bigger concern is a few times meat was almost too firm like it had been pickled. Not sure if being frozen makes a difference, but never tried sous vide with fresh meat, because...

    Misread an acronym. Too many G's but whatev. As far as I know you can buy Game Pass with whatever funds you have in you MS balance. Only way it differentiates funds is MD Rewards redemption funds have a 90 day expiration. If using MS Reward points it's a better ratio to purchase Game Pass...

    It's designed to let people hide so you can't even see them? That's even dumber than my assumption it was just more disappearing players in multiplayer.

    Looks good. I've also been doing sous vide less and just cast iron sear and finish in the toaster oven if needed. Not sure if lazy or just as good, though. Tried every combo of timing and order and when to season and all pretty similar to me (nothing beats actual flame though). Maybe the meat I...

    Play the Eliminator only for playlist credit. Takes forever to load. By the time it asks me where I want to start there is no time left and it selects for me. I end up in some random point way up north in the mountains. Spend like 8 minutes in the default VW Bug sliding backwards down hills I'm...

    If, and it's a big if, but if they want to do actual character avatars I just wish they'd be good. They look dumb and customization sucks. And getting common flesh toned socks for winning a race just isn't exciting.

    Forza Horizon 5

    Fun as an open world arcade racer. The problem is the game half pretends to be a "real" racing game with tuning and progression and online competition racing. So at times it suffers from an identity crisis, especially with the mishmash of car physics designed for stick controls in physics...

    Forza Horizon 5

    I tried once and was reminded why I gave up most online stuff in FH4. It's just not fun with the conditions and design of the game they put people into. Add to it the gaming style these days where everything is online, but everyone is a stranger, and why bother. It's just not fun or interesting...

    Media makes a person charged with a crime into a public figure by defaming them, effectively insulating them against legal liability for defamation. Bonus is they get to do this during investigations and while politically elected PAs decide on charging, to ensure they can pressure the powers...

    Smart of them, but a bit late. Are Series X still hard to get? Because this almost looks desperate to do it now. With their entire gaming existence built around Game Pass subs I was confused why the big brains at MS didn't come up with a way to offer them directly to subscribers and get them...

    Checked leaderboard. Someone did 291mph in an S1 817 rated Warthog. I wish we could sort by class and car type, see how fast the cheaters are going And I agree, unfortunately, the game is prone to the same handful of cars doing everything. Which is why the game is a bit more interesting right...

    I'm only 210 cars. For playing so much I sure am a slacker. For general info, got 130mph with GTR in sloppy run using 831 639 839. Seems a strong car that I think is pretty common.

    Haven't found a car I own with a good tune for the speed zone. And now cars aren't ghosting so I keep hitting them. Overall a challenge, for sure.

    Jury instructions are filed into the case and public record (if the case isn't sealed). There are probably already proposed jury instructions available. The actual ones wouldn't normally be until after the trial when all the exhibit lists and minutes are filed. It's the jury questionnaires that...

    Oof. Just did a stock McClaren 605S full rain and was sliding all over and only got 110mph. Gonna need to set up the wheel for this. One trick is the S at the apex.... Can just run straight through that. Oops. But didn't fail me so might actually be faster. I feel like these events are...

    I must have a good tune for the Bronco I used because those races weren't too bad for me. Part of the charm? Sort of an arcade racer, but with heavy variability based on technical tuning. Feels a bit like split personality though. For instance, people grumbling about the modern sportscar...

    Cross Country has gotten stupid. They even tweaked the difficulty, but the AI just drives on rails, doesn't seem to be affected by water or jumps. Maybe I'm just more picky now, but it was always my favorite in other Horizon games, but is annoying now. Have done the begining area Festival Cross...

    Can see the class and rating number. It's just people who think the AH is where you buy cars so go pay buyout without thinking. One season in FH4 there was a car that you could buy from auto show, auto upgrade, then sell on AH, clearing 600k. They'd sell for buyout within minutes. I recently...

    Hrm, should I buy the new season's VW Baja Bug from the auto show for 60k, or the same stock version from the auction house for 129k+ buyout. Well, everyone seems to be buying all the auction ones for twice as much so I guess I'm stuck buying it cheaper from the auto show. I know it's just...

    Can't get cacti smashing or arcade to register. Not the end of the world, but annoying. Finally got a wheel setup for the series x in the living room. Much more plug and play than FH4 seemed, and feels good. Lookout Circuit road race is my favorite track so far. Lots of turns, hard to pass...

    Nope. Megyn Kelly of all people had Barnes and Richard Barris on her show/podcast talking about jury selection. Worth a listen. One thing they talked about is specifically that the assumption would be women more sympathetic, but that wasn't true in their jury research. And for the potential...

    This is basically what your average jury deliberation looks like. So retarded Whoospie is inadvertently dropping truth bombs. SNL needs to hire The View writers because this shit is comedy gold.

    Story drives and events have been pretty fun. I like driving the El Camino, deciding on a shortcut, ending up taking the picture after crashing off a cliff. Was fun. Hoping we get to drive the monster trucks at some point.

    I like the idea, but like many things in the game it could benefit from being class/car specific challenges. Some of the trail blazer routes seem broken by just having a fast enough car and taking the nearest road. And as always the tactic just seems to be loading the fastest applicable car...
