    Forza Horizon 6

    Sounds like a new IGN clip has given some new details about garage, stickers (liveries) and new aero features. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvKBNy1VYhg Watched this clip, think he pretty much nailed it about FH6 largely dropping the ball on aero. Apparently, they changed the wing...

    Forza Horizon 6

    LOL! Cool clips, but I mean, there's a reason trophy truck suspension exists, but you don't really see it in FH since you don't even need offroad suspension to be fast offroad. As I recall one of the best offroad vehicle was Hot Wheels Bone Shaker, just 4WD, max aero (because of course you...

    Forza Horizon 6

    I'm out of the gaming/graphics loop, but I'd hope they wouldn't be very different than FH4 or 5. Typically most of the settings can be disabled in menu so while you wouldn't be getting Ray Tracing and I don't know what new tech they have a the moment, but you'll likely be able to get as good or...

    Forza Horizon 5

    There was the rally expansion with the abhorrent helicopter which destroyed the game's sounds, graphics and even logic, as if every car had a helicopter flying in front of them to give drivers directions... 🤦‍♂️ I tried getting into the rally expansion, but that helicopter just ruined it for...

    Just found 2 clips comparing the NF3 pickups, and they seem quite close to single coils. Pretty sure I'll grab a PRS Studio SE Standard instead of the Studio SE. Satin finish neck on Standard is a plus, likely more important than the other advantages of studio (aesthetics, set neck, maple top...

    Ha.. Yeah, they had one or two Charvels in the price point but I really wasn't blown away, didn't seem at the same level as the PRS and others for the cost, seemed more like a budget/beginner guitar than the others. (aesthetics & design) The PRS S2 are big $$ so no go, the SE studio maybe, the...

    Anyone made any black Friday or other purchases? Oh yeah, I had went to buy that Ibanez AZ standard a few months ago and was pretty disappointed... The neck felt like a baseball bat, not slim or Ibanez-like at all, its action was high and there was tons of buzzing, the tremolo arm seemed to be...

    Start your engines! It's Forza Motorsport

    Woa so 2 years and that's it? Well... I guess in two years they've hopefully patched what they wanted... As for new extra content, if the real numbers are anywhere close to below, I mean, not a very tough decision to make... I'm guessing whatever sales they made for FM add-ons (tracks, cars...

    Also I rounded my pedal board (head rush looper, kokko OD & DST) with a kokko compressor ($20) and Mosky ISO-10 power supply ($40) from aliexpress sale. As I used often compressors on my Pod Go, an external pedal saves an effects block on the Pod Go, and as compressor is a bit of a simple...

    Btw, not for me because $ vs needs, but new gens of modelers are coming out these days, crazy time to be a guitarist! So much options vs 20-30 years ago, and the quality vs cost is out of this world! For L6 HS, I've watched a couple of clips, and I really like the Hype and the Focus mode...

    Btw there's also the Pod Express, also has a Fuzz, 73 Electro-Harmonix Ram's Head Big Muff Pi. Plus a dozen more basic effects. You can bypass amp sim just for the effects. Also a black version with a Fuzz, Electro-Harmonic Russian Big Muff Pi. Bit more aimed at heavy for amps, but the 2...

    Did you make a choice S2pidiT? The Zoom seems great if not! For me that Ibanez AZ Standard so far has been sold out everywhere locally, as a reviewer said, looks like it's pretty popular due to all its features/price! Also btw, the new Helix Stadium was just announced. New and improved core...

    Welcome! :) Btw JHS has a good video about distortion pedals And actually, just a note on cheap pedals "like Behringer"... They're not 'bad'. Their schtick is often to rip off existing designs, so if you want a pedal which will cost <1/3 normal pedal and will sound very similar, it's a valid...

    What's the budget? What style/sound are you trying to achieve? Want more gain, etc .? 2025, go with modelers/DSP! Some people love the HX One to add to a pedalboard but to me given it's $300 and you get one effect (well hundreds, but 1 at a time), much better off and splurge to get a full...

    Yeah I can adjust the truss rod, action and intonation, it's just if the neck & frets aren't perfect, there's just so much you can do... Already have a PRS HH (no split coil), and a Yamaha Pac 112V, plus misc others. I can get ok action with most, but not as much low action as I'd like to...

    Also hesitated posting this... For a versatile & flawlessly playing super strat'ish, what would be your choice? Love SSH as I'm not a fan of neck HUs, and the bridge absolutely must be HU so no SSS... HH, could be ok, but is it a myth or just me that split coil HU PU is not quite as good or...

    Which Genelecs? I'd just get Genelecs as they could double up for audio, but probably reason you'd want to get the 212s? Btw, they appear to be ultra expensive?! So if FRFR is required, I'd just get Genelecs + whatever FRFR fits the out of the home FRFR requirements... There was I think...

    Forza Horizon 5

    Is there any way to prevent the game from 'optimizing' (screwing up) graphics settings for your PC? Every time I fire the game it basically sets everything to Extreme and max out all the graphics options, which results in sluggish ~60FPS... Running RTX3070 @ 3440x1440, and aiming for 100 FPS...

    Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remaster

    If I recall correctly, it's highly dependent on your skills. If you focus on a few battle skills and level up, the game will be very easy. But if you instead spread out the skill points (ex; swords, bow, axe, this and that) and get non-battle skills, then combat can become almost impossible...

    Forza Horizon 5

    Well yeah if you have been playing the game for hundreds of hours and have accumulated ALL the resources in the game... But for every other player, if accumulating resources or game progress is of interest to them, then getting SPs is of interest, and driving on the map cleanly and quickly is...
