I attempted to get better in sim racing many years ago, I tried to become of of the best racers out there. But after a while I discovered cruise servers, and well... it all went downhill from there.
Practice is really what makes you good at things, certain things does take longer than other things though. Some people need triple the practice than others does, and thats just because some people have 350 IQ and then there's me with 35 IQ.
I'm going a bit off topic now, but I've been playing this game called Rocket League. Basically, there's a bunch of things that everybody in higher ranks needs to know. I'm still in the learning stage of the game even though I'm nearly a 1000 hours into it, its crazy. From playing that game for nearly a year I've learned a couple of things.
- Don't let dreams be dreams.
- Practice does make you better.
I was Gold 3 (6 out of 20 ranks) 12 months ago, and now I'm Champion 1 (which is 17 out of 20 ranks). Anything is possible!
Congrats to Noupdates for winning todays unexpected giveaway, it wasn't planned at all. I got too many nice comments for this thing when I joined the demo servers, now THATS one of the reasons why I do what I do.
Anyway, welcome to S2. The next giveaway will run as scheduled.
Can't wait to see how LFS turns out. I'm leaving to the army the 13th of april. Hopefully I'll come back to something great. Take the time you guys need and good luck.
The goal with this is to pick a winner that plays and is going to play LFS in the future. I would never pick a winner that has 3km in total distance when they registered in 2006. Cause I've seen some of those.
I pick the winner based on when they registered, their km and recent activity. There are a bunch of things I check. I do also check if they've got more accounts, which also has happened a few times before.
If I have lets say found 4 really impressive demo drivers for a giveaway and I'm not sure which one to go for. I use a program to autopick 1 winner.
Afterall, I am the one to pick winners. So if anyone has friends that needs an upgrade or needs to get out of demo, you can simply drop a comment and be a referee I sometimes PM previous winners and ask them, has helped me out a few times when I just don't know who to pick.
I'm reopening this thread as I've been planning to do more of these.
Thank you for the kind words Scawen, I'm glad you guys still are updating LFS here and there, keep up the great work =D For a 16 year old game, its still pretty good.
As I mentioned above, I've been planning to host more of these giveaways. Next date for a giveaway is 12/02/2018 (this month). Go ahead and sign up and I'll pick a lucky winner in about 1 week. Good luck!
I would suggest you to save up a few more bucks and buy a good desktop instead of a lappy. Or if you are one of those that travel a lot (or go to school), then I'd save up more money and buy a good laptop. It all depends on what you're going to play or do with it.
Even going with a cheap laptop, you would do just fine with a $500 lappy, then you'd be able to play games like Don't Starve and LFS =D. Enough from me, good luck!
