Some of the issues faced by post-op ostomates are:

1) Initial anxiety due to physical changes & fear of injury
2) Feelings of loneliness or a sense of rejection
3) Inability to achieve an erection / lubrication / orgasm.

A colostomy bag makes it easier to fling poop at people that displease you. That at least is something worth living for.

It does. Across all games I get like 23 million each time... but only 600k of that is in Horizon 3.

I don't think those games were built the required online functionality to sync up their progress that all of the games from FM2 on have had.

Xbox Live's system-wide Clubs feature apparently went live today, so I grabbed Goon Racing Club. It's publicly visible but requires approval right now. All members can invite people, and I've invited a the people on my friends list who are on the spreadsheet in the OP.

Anyone who is a leader of one of the existing in-game groups bug me and I'll make you a leader on this too.

Major kudos to the Australian public works department, who is able to rebuild fences and telephone poles, and replace trash cans in between laps of circuit races. They're a crackin' hooley dooly repair team!

My eyes got a little blurry during a 3 lap Goliath public championship race and I slammed into the grandstands right in front of the finish line. Good thing my S1 class car had plenty of power so I just spun my wheels trying to go in reverse then forward again and it took me from 1st to 7th place. DAMMIT, MY XP!

Were they ever talking about bringing Forza 6 over to PC instead of just Apex? Fingers crossed that FH3 does well enough that Forza 7 gets to be Windows 10.

AFAIK First party games are gonna be Windows 10. If its a console exclusive it should now be a Windows exclusive. This means Halo, Forza, and all sorts of other things are either build side by side or ported from the get go.

Up to 6 now, I just got back home and approved all pending requests.

edit: I tried to start inviting everyone on the spreadsheet, but it'll only allow me to invite people on my friends list. I've been lazy about adding people to my friends historically and it's a bit tedious, so I just added the names I remember racing against a lot in previous games and sent them invites.

As I understand it anyone who's in should now be able to invite anyone on their friends list, plus anyone can still find it and send a request to join, so hopefully we can get the group filled in with most of the regulars at least over the next few days

I just installed and played Forza Apex (why not it is free!) and what the bloody hell, the force feedback and steering in that game are amazing. Not only can you feel the road and tell before you start to slip, the car doesn't become a hot oversteering mess the instant the wheels start to give. In Horizons 3, if ever I hear the chirp of a tire breaking loose, forget it, I am going sideways into the woods. With an xbox controller I do great in both. How can the two games be so different in their wheel implementations in that one is completely unusable and the other is everything I want it to be?

I can barely even drive down the road with the wheel in FH3, and racing is impossible without a million rewinds. Apex is great right with the default settings, is there a way to make Horizons work the same way?

Yeah I've noticed the steering feels more squirrelly in FH3 than Apex. Granted, I kind of expect that from my Koenigsesgesgegegsegsegg Regera, but not from a rally car. Then again, I'm also a big dumb babby who still uses automatic transmission (and should really practice more with manual), and my garage is a hot mess of the ultimate edition's free cars, a bunch of classic/modern muscle and a smattering of offroad/buggy/barn jobs. Also, in hindsight this has nowhere near enough stickers, spoilers or lights

Now if only I understood the first thing about classes, upgrading and tuning. About all I know at this point (coming into this from mostly arcade racers, a few hours of Apex and a few hours of PCars) can be mostly broken down into:
"tyre compounds look like a good idea but everything else is better value for class number:effect"
"handling > *"
"soften the rear sway bar a bit"
"don't floor the brake"
"be done braking before you enter the curve, accelerate out of the apex"
"e-brake is for chumps"
"I am a scrub and won't be able to drift until I get the hang of manual transmission"
"do not use the auto-upgrader"
"I could sit and Roxbury to Ingrid is a Hybrid all day"
"lol I paid $100 for this"

I enjoy the game a lot and it's definitely scratching my itch in a different way than PCars. I just think I need to git gudder.

Not Keket taught me something super-valuable (and I'm still working on it):

Drifting: Is not totally about gearing or HP, but it's especially not about steering inputs.

You initiate the drift in the way you now how, then you keep it going with the throttle. Steering neutral. Switching directions, ok that's gonna be step two.

Aside from 800HP monster twin turbo engine swaps, suspension tuning has the greatest affect on drifting outside of raw technique. High HP just makes it easier to power over but you can basically drift anything RWD with proper clutchkicking and enough speed.

E brake is not for chumps.

Drifting is throttle control more than anything you can probably do it with an automatic.

Forza tune on android or go look for an excel database for tuning. I use forza tune to get my spring stiffness and damper settings in the ballpark and then tweak from there. The stock settings for race suspension are always way too stiff, and this makes them especially bad for horizon considering the terrain.

Alternatively don't go past sport suspension and stick to tuning with sway bars and differential till you get a feel for it.
