I may not have an electric car, but I can also have fun planning potential stops along a multi-day road trip.

Instead of going for Italian or British lights, they raid the parts bin of Toyota this time. The Esprit S4 shares it's lights with the AE86 Levin/Trueno!

PSA: Here's some rules followed in different countries to determine the right of way at unsignaled intersections: - Vehicle in the main road - Vehicle in the widest road - Vehicle with the most kinetic energy (big and/or fast) - Vehicle with the most dents (least fucks given)

We've teased an upcoming pre-war car for BeamNG. Some in the community will be shitposting these responses for fun, since the avg player wants more supercars and alike. But I love that a good bunch of these replies must be 100% serious, showing their diverse automotive taste :)

Nice explanation regarding the recent disqualifying due to rollcage damage in Dakar rally (in spanish, but I'm sure twitter can do a reasonable translation)

I finally managed to have as much fun hooning around a front wheel drive, as I normally do with rear wheel drive. It only took some rain, the removal of ABS fuse, and a desire to die with a huge grin in the face: youtube.com/watch?v=hUX4wd…

Dumb random idea: A racing competition where there's a minimum laptime. I'm curious to see how engineers and strategists would approach the problem. Such as, how to distribute the laptime budget to overtake, but then avoid losing the gained position. Dunno, that kind of stuff.

I can't overstate the peace of mind that ZFS provides. When power failures happen to my UPS-less computers, I no longer live in fear of random corruption or kernel panics or whatever. Instead I ask ZFS to scrub all drives, to locate (and fix) any corrupted data. End of story.

I have *huge* respect for other rally sims - Richard Burns Rally in particular has always had a very special place in my heart. We're working hard (with our limited resources), hoping we can provide the community with another 'crown' of rally sims to choose from. Time will tell!

Ramping up progress on rally content: turbo ALS, active center diffs, extra rally parts, a balanced entry rally category (fwd/rwd/awd ngrc2) vs a top category (awd ngrc1), more rally stages, new level props, audio pacenotes... Still far from done of course, but we'll get there.

After so many BeamNG updates in a few days, my brain is now officially fried, and has throttled frequency down to limp mode. Current status: stuck in a loop wondering if I can safely use my multimeter to measure the voltage of the very battery it's running on...

You already knew that a parsec is a unit of length. But did you know it's a portmanteau of "parallax arcsecond"? Now you do!

Slow car driven fast > fast car driven slow. And not everyone will share this opinion, but I would add: bad tires with intentionally weird alignment > fast effective setup. Exhibit A: youtube.com/watch?v=RkpPNE…

New skill unlocked: gauging general computer workload by subtle variations in the noise of fans. "This sounds a bit too noisy, did I leave something running in some other screen or in a virtual desktop? Oh, yes, I did."
