Snarkasm, sim racing, random tweets. A wise man once said there are 10 drivers in the top 10, may you never forget this universal truth.

@champwebdotnet Im juat casually lurking like usual ha

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

@champwebdotnet What is really missing is options, and special aint going back in the bag any time soon.

Really im still baffled they aren't going to LMDh the engine side like is blindingly obvious, that'd be a winner.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

@champwebdotnet Yea screaming turbo V8 > all, and even the og IR18 was nowhere near as cool...

but practical purposes, there aint no way we're seeing high HP on big ovals ever again. Hanford would have never been needed as they've elected to control speed with boost alone.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

@OMarcelleza No, it has a clasp or cam in the middle. Like a quick release.

Your strap is functionally similar but wont work well for the application as the "locking" is less useful.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Need human help : Google & AI hasn't helped.

Its like a rubber bungee cord, but it has a long metal cam lock type device to loosen / lock the tension. Used to secure round things to walls. I cannot for the life of me find what these are called.

Can't even find a picture of it

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Intended purpose is to secure a shop vac to the wall. Ive seen this done before, I know it exists but it feels like im going crazy hunting for this mythical strap that I can't find the freaking name of or even proof it exists.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Still broken.

At this point there are more "Empty Box bitching about the broken drop box at the post office" tweets than "@champwebdotnet Indy 500 elevator" tweets.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Still broken.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Not dead, just stressed over some BS.

Anyone know a sim racing company needing a "OG" decently respected community member being added to their team? Asking for a friend.

(I'm the friend)

Finally completed my minimums to get a badge in @LeMansUltimate last night, straight to the green diamond.

Join a first race of the week Sebring GT3 fixed race, all green diamonds, zero practice, started 21st and last.

Cleanest online race I've done in a long, long while.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Super choppy using droidcam, but if I can get it figured out maybe a new angle coming into my races as a secondary or third angle. Going to be nice to mix it up on the fly for you guys.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Could use some help - would like to recreate this in @SimHubDash for use as an overlay.

I have the meter sort of (just a basic linear meter), but i can't figure out how to color code it based on green/yellow flag, which I really would like to do. Anyone?

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Been working on some simhub stuff, booted up iRacing Indycars at Sebring with some AI for testing.

Immediately forgot what I was doing. I can actually slide the IR18 around like a madman in iRacing now? This is a thing finally? Can beat it like it owes ya money?

Its wild.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

A lap in the 49 second range was trolling me hard, here's a talk and drive of my descent to figure out how the hell we're supposed to drive AC Rally on ice.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Things you don't see very often, sim racing edition.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

It's super knife-y and edgy. No tire to surface interaction, nothing to hold you in place which is why this doesn't remind me of snow at all. It's basically a chunky sheet of ice.

The Hyundai R2 was way better, but because AWD mega traction masks it.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

Assetto Corsa Rally snow/ice experience thoughts before I make a vid.

Honestly kind of un-enthused with it after my first go in some of the older RWD cars.

Definitely not a snow experience IMO, basically straight ice under a light dusting of snow with crap all season tires.

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

What is worth upgrading to from a 4070, for triple 1440s. 5070ti or 5080?

Ok in older titles but running everything low in newer stuff kinda sucks. Originally planned on waiting for a 6080 but let's be real, market is gonna get rekd

[Matt @EmptyBox_007]

No idea!

I dont know what is most wild here : one of my videos ended up in a movie (I mean really, not like they are a top of the generic search pile) or the fact someone read some really, really tiny text and noticed this 4 years later.

Thats neat!

@EmptyBox_007 Did you know one of your videos is in this movie? https://t.co/mA83SLD3Aq
