I'm pretty sure that out of these three drivers, Ella will win...

I may have found a new addiction - #Geoguessr.

I've played it on a couple of nights a week for the last year, and only just recently started trying out some duels. Going up the divisions surprisingly easily - at least for now... 😱

Even though I rarely race myself these days, this kind of occasional feedback is the reason why I still keep offering advice to new drivers - even on as "toxic" of a platform as Reddit.

This is from a thread saying how much the SA rating in ACC sucks. Or maybe it doesn't suck after all?

Nice things about living in the middle of nowhere with very little light pollution...

These auroras were so bright tonight, that even though it was pitch black outside, I didn't need any lights to walk around the fields.

Was kind of testing my camera's limits, this was taken at ISO 12800.

Uh oh. I may have to get back to watching #F1 next season if the still-only-rumoured Cadillac driver lineup is going to happen.

I may have slightly blue&white-tinted glasses on when watching, but I lose interest when there's no Finnish driver. Even one in a new team at the back of the grid is fine.

When you create a sim racing song and it's chorus says...

"There is no racecraft here
Just kamikaze moves and fear..."

...and so on. Ah well. I need to listen to that myself before every race as a reminder of the harsh reality and to get my expectations back to realistic levels. 😏

Why don't I watch #F1 from Finnish broadcast by Viaplay?

Apparently, the commentator has literally just called the water spray rising behind the cars "dust". Oh dear.

Add in the intentional mistranslations of interviews to promote their own speculations, and you've got a "quality broadcast"...

🤦‍♂️

Interesting. KymiRing's new CEO says they have to turn down potential events on the track, as their calendar is so full.

As of now the biggest upcoming event seems to be FIA World RX of Finland weekend. The "dream" is still to host major events like MotoGP, but they want stabilize things first.

Best news in a very long time: YouTube is going to stop monetizing AI-generated, repetitive and low-effort content with no real human input in it.

About time. Some estimates say that could cut off 40% of YT Shorts from monetization (and probably like 90% of what the algorithm keeps pushing).

I have not followed #F1 or #F2, but seeing someone say...

"After watching F2 this morning, this (context: AI drivers absolutely wrecking the human driver in a racing sim) might just be hyper accurate AI"

...made me curious enough to find out. Holy cow. They must have practiced in Wreckfest 2. 🤭

Teaser by Bottas, looking into a Cadillac SUV and noticing how both seats are free, but he doesn't want to sit in it "yet"...

Interesting, but not in any way unexpected. It's was rumoured and speculated even before this current #F1 season properly started, and that definitely adds fuel to the fire.

Me: Gives advice to a rookie driver on Reddit based on a posted lap.

Rookie next day: "hey dude, little update, hope you don't mind, smashed my record today, 1,6 seconds improved"

Right. Maybe I should start that Coach Beldin Academy we joked about 2-3 years ago... But nah, I CBA, lol.

Free #Finnish grammar lesson, about importance of getting it perfectly correct:

"Juhannussima teemukissa" = "Midsummer mead in a tea mug"

"Juhan nussima Teemu-kissa" = "A cat called Teemu that was f*cked by a guy called Juha"

You're welcome. And good luck to anyone trying to learn the language. 😏

The most well-structured post about the Assetto Corsa Competizione backend outage issues, which keep getting worse and worse.

Still zero communication from @acassettocorsa.bsky.social or @505games.com. Is anyone even alive at the offices anymore? You REALLY need to say something.

Phew. Finally got rid of the AI Overview on Google search results. Any settings won't remove it fully, but I knew a custom search engine could...

...however, you can't directly add custom search engines to Firefox for some strange reason. That's kind of awkward.

Based on this season's performance by Tuukka Taponen in #F3, Finland might very well get a new #F1 driver within the next few years.

Poor first race weekend, but then 36 points from the next two race weekends, which is one less than the whole ART team has so far, P4 in the series... Not too shabby!

My take on @acassettocorsa.bsky.social (ACC) backend stability issues. Either Kunos or @505games.com should really start saying something about it.

I'm not afraid to be vocal and slam them to the ground when there's absolutely no word about recurring issues. Reddit's been full of complaints lately.

"I am Hungary."
"Maybe you should Czech the fridge."
"I'm Russian to the kitchen!"
"Is there any Turkey?"
"We have some, but it's covered with a layer of Greece."
"Ew, there's Norway you can eat that."

...and that's where the joke usually ends, but I'm pretty sure I'd still Finnish it. 😏

I really like games with pretty scenery. The nature photographer in me just can't leave locations like this without at least taking a screenshot.

And it of course helps that the game has plenty of things to do and explore too. This is from an open world survival game called #Soulmask.

We have all been new sim racers at some point, but when I saw this line in a clip and the question was basically "why did I crash here"...

I may have just made myself feel very uncomfortable by snorting my coffee out through my nose. 🤭

Trivia time...

- Who won the 1975 F1 World Championship?
- Lauda.
- WHO WON THE 1975 F1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP?!

...or maybe not. 🤭

Just a normal day in the sim racing world it seems. No matter what the sim is, it wouldn't be a Monza race without some drivers going for those crazy flying laps.

Yes, I mean literally flying... 🤭

From the Stellaris stream on Paradox Interactive's official Twitch channel earlier today.

Everyone in the chat kept asking if they were Australian for some reason, but no, that wasn't it. They were just role-playing as "xeno-bats", which was the "race" chosen for that playthrough.

Brilliant! 😆

Just sayin', @turtlebeach.bsky.social should really get rid of the bull$hit automatic translation on the EU web store.

It keeps forcing me back to Finnish version, and even product names and ToS are horribly messed up. It gives the least trustworthy image for a store I've seen in a very long time.
