    Will try and get an update or two out soon, but...

    ...These next two weeks at work are going to be stressful as hell.

    I just have to say one thing, just to get it off my chest.

    If any of my readers are private health inspectors with standards higher than local laws, I just have this to say:

    That is all.

    Good night.

    Tell Your Tale: P + P = BFFs

    This week, we've got a... Somewhat touching Posey episode?

    Think this would benefit from a longer runtime. I also laughed harder than necessary at Izzy in the very beginning.

    Believe it or not, I actually got some chores done today.

    And that's saying something, because if Diablo IV was this good at any point last year, it would have definitely been near the top of my Best Games of 2023. You know, instead of being omitted entirely.

    So let's just say that Armored Core VI absolutely just got smacked out of the running for Best Yesteryear Game.

A stick shift thrustmaster? There's a joke here somewhere.

Great pick! Looks like the T300RS doesn't come with the pedals? You gonna get the T3PA pro pedals?

Came with the pedals. If anything, I'll upgrade to the T-LCM pedals in a few paychecks.

I've got a wheel stand coming in a few days.

Nice, hadn't seen those pedals yet, they look better than the T3PA pro pedals at first glance. I didn't realize Thrustmaster had a real load cell pedal out now.

If your wheel stand doesn't have a mount for the pedals (and possibly even if they do) you're gonna want to build one. If you try to depress a load cell brake on carpet it'll easily push away from you. I'm sure you already figured that though.

It's the Next Level Racing Stand 2.0, and yes it does. Because the T3PA pedals aren't even load cell, and they're sliding on the carpet.

Also, the modding scene for the TH8A is pretty big still. I'd recommend picking up one of these gearbox mods on ebay. Makes shifting feel more like an actual car by providing resistance getting out of neutral. But try it out stock for a bit and see what you think.

As expensive as this was, not sure I'm keen to take it apart. I'm not confident I could get it back together the right way.

It's not too bad, the only part to be careful with is a small cable inside that needs to be detached and reattached after you're done. That cable signals to switch between a regular gearbox and sequential shifting, and if you broke it off (like I did) you just can't use sequential shifting anymore.
