Losing Gale due to a failed dice roll is nothing like a dlc that's an absurd claim. You can't just reload a save to unlock a dlc. It was that simple for Gale.

Failing a roll is on you whether you like it or not. The ever looming threat of failure is important in story telling and suspension of disbelief. It's the opposite of dumb game design. So yeah you either reload until everything gets handed to you or you move on. You're talking like he's locked behind a dlc when you're just pissed a dice roll didn't go your way at level one.

Consequences of your decisions is what makes this game special. You're going to have a bad time going forward with this game if you cannot deal with the fomo.

Is it for the entire country? Because if so that seems very low.

Didn't she get pregnant though?

Wow. Couper des services au lieu de rendre la job viable. Du génie.

...Just says there's a transponder that's supposed to judge if there was movement. It says nothing about how said transponder achieves that judgement. It doesn't simply senses movement as you astutely pointed out the car very obviously moved. That means it needs a reference point.

So Is it gps? Is it an accelerometer? Is there another sensor on the grid it has to cross? Is it telemetry? Why is there this much wiggle room?

I would honestly be interested about where you got that the transponder is based on movement vs position. And I don't say that to catch you in a lie at all I am thoroughly honestly interested in this and would like to learn more about this tech.

edit: and yes from the in-board cam it does look like at least the contact patch was in-front you are right.

Well he was far enough not to trip the transponder no matter what the camera suggests.

Ahh didn't know about that thanks for the precision. Still feels a bit harsh to me, especially the second one where he went wide.

Yep that's exactly my concern. This seems abusable. Drivers could theoretically stop further back from the grid and use that distance to get the car rolling before fully dropping the clutch, limiting tire slip. Someone posted the rules about grid placement and while there is a rule against sideways position or angle, there isn't anything about being further back. It's probably not going to happen but I personally would try that short rolling start in practice just to see.

I got interested in roundcore rounds since I kinda like the more mellow sound but I don't really enjoy the always dead sound of flats. I also heard roundcores felt more flexible or balanced tension wise and that's very appealing to me. So does any one of you have experience with any of these strings? How would you describe their sound vs a hexcore for example? And considering I play med gauge (45-105) could I go a gauge up for a bit higher tension and better low end clarity?

Yamaha's got on my radar when I wanted a bass to start playing and learning music again. I just couldn't find a bass that had such features and build quality for the price. So I got a bb434 and loved it so much I immediately looked into the history of the model. Then I found out about this one here, a 1984 3000s, being on sale 20mins from my place. I couldn't resist and am so glad I didn't. It's perfectly balanced, the neck is slim, narrow and well played in. And even though it's a PJ style it has it's very own punchy and resonant tone that reminds me of a piano. They'll bury me with this thing in hand. I had never heard of them before and they are kinda rare(there's 3 on reverb) so I wanted to share this great instrument with fellow like minded people. Get one if you can.

Any other BB fans around here? Any other somewhat lesser known basses you guys think we should check out?
