If anyone is considering trying sim racing and a wheel, avoid @PXNgame like the plague. It's insane how bad their software and support is. They're a cheap brand and it shows.

[Ross @daftness_]

@PXNgame Good job with the awful software update. It doesn't even fix the 60fps framerate drop issue caused by wheel input. Moza and Simagic both fixed it with their software updates, but you? Nope. Too lazy. This is why I'm moving to a @moza_racing wheelbase.

@ThePrimeagen The Name of The Wind. Amazing book. Second book is also great.

The Magician. Great book and series. A classic.

The Magicians - very different take on magic but fascinating.

I'm trying to get used to Claude Code but I just keep wanting to go back to OpenCode :/

[Ross @daftness_]

Forza Horizon 5 was better.

[Ross @daftness_]

@oldyzach I wonder if it has wheel support 🤔

[Ross @daftness_]

The moment you begin trusting AI too much whilst coding is the moment it starts doing the most random rubbish. There's still nothing going on upstairs it seems. No grasp of the context, even when explained. This is with GPT 5.4/5.5.

[Ross @daftness_]

Forza Motorsport 8 has better wheel support and fixed bugs that existed in Forza Horizon 5, unlike Forza Horizon 6 which came out afterwards, has little modern wheel support and still has bugs that weren't fixed in FH5. Not very impressive from @WeArePlayground... Why?

[Ross @daftness_]

The original Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is a better experience than the remaster, even in 2026.

[Ross @daftness_]

@elonmusk They seeded our civilization and now watch it grow like a long term TV show and keep hidden using advanced technology. That's my guess 😂

[Ross @daftness_]

@JimmyBroadbent @WeArePlayground Sigh. How difficult is it to do this right... The game's release has been plagued with issues. The support site is flooded with requests ATM. Unsupported wheels cause the FPS to drop below 60, as low as 40, and lower GPU usage to 40%. It's not a great experience. AMD issues too.

[Ross @daftness_]

AMD's drivers are still super buggy. I don't know what everyone is on about saying they're better than Nvidia's now. From settings not saving to features like anti lag and GPU scaling causing games to crash or render incorrectly, they definitely still have their issues.

[Ross @daftness_]

@PXNgame please fix your wheels in Forza Horizon 6. They cause the FPS to drop to below 60 whenever there is wheel or pedal input. It's not a good experience. There are multiple reports of the issue. Thanks...

[Ross @daftness_]

@VideoCardz your site is a bit trigger happy there.

[Ross @daftness_]

@VideoCardz Maybe they should make sure the game runs properly on AMD before working on "cool features". It's a damn slideshow, and there are people all over their support site complaining about how badly it runs on AMD cards. I literally teleport on a 9070 set to medium gfx... Shocking.

[Ross @daftness_]

The Forza Horizon 6 support site is so bogged down from all the issues being reported that it doesn't even load anymore. It's for good reason too - the game has a ton of bugs and doesn't run well on AMD GPUs at all. Do not get this game early if you have a PXN wheel or AMD GPU.

[Ross @daftness_]

It takes 10-15 seconds for my login screen to become responsive after it renders on boot in windows 11. Just an input field. I can't wait to move to Linux for gaming when I get a new NVME drive...

[Ross @daftness_]

Maybe if @npmjs didn't have such awful search functionality and suggested the logical choice based on what's typed in, supply chain attacks wouldn't be so easy. The number of times I've typed in a popular package name and gotten an imposter is far too many.

Fix it @npmjs.

@DudespostingWs I had the mouse at 0:01. The Logitech Dual Optical, with two sensors. It was fun to show off the alien design of the thing despite it not being a great mouse, and it skipped often when used with low sensitivity despite the additional sensor...

[Ross @daftness_]

That moment you move to AMD on Linux and everything just runs smoother and without hassle.
I can even run Chrome without the --disable-gpu-compositing argument via the terminal, as I don't get weird green and white glitches anymore from having an Nvidia card on Wayland🕺
