Me: TM's lighting is superior due to the GI, specially in urban environments (Toky Expressway looks like garbage for this reason).
Responses I get: random GTS videos and screenshots unrelated to the point I made as proof of superiority without any explanation given. Then somebody accusses me of calling everyone stupid.
I guess that's the mature way to conduct a discussion. Thanks for the tip.
Shadow shimmering is pretty terrible in cockpit view in GTS.
Okay, so I sense some frustration about my post to you, and largely I'm guessing because I'm calling you out and no one else on it. So, of course, I want to dial it back and give you some breathing room on the posts. I apologize if you took any offense to it, I do get frustrated when people need to emphasize how terrible a product is, when it's not, and when it's only 1 thing you can observe that's actually different.
I'll try to better explain where I want to go with what is a mature post. Maturity talks about what information we can share, and what information we can observe. It's not about telling everyone how we evaluate it. That's an opinion.
For example:
Observations to conduct a discussion: TM's lighting has GI from many sources, creating a scene that XYZ, I feel this makes it superior in Urban environments.
EVALUATION: Tokyo expressway looks like garbage (not improving discussion)
Observation: Shadow shimmering is present in the cockpit view in GTS, in particular with some angles, and happens with noticeable frequency (discussion)
Evaluation: Shadow shimmering is pretty terrible in cockpit view in GTS.
If you want to discuss things, discuss what you observe. We can't change your mind of your evaluation of the product, nor can you change the mind of others. You can _teach_ people how to look for what you can spot and they can make their own evaluations. That is the discussion. If you are upset that people are tossing unrelated screen shots and videos of the point you tried to make, they couldn't see what you were trying to say, and it's easier to do this when you just talk about what can be observed, and not what you think it is; in this case people will just keep reading the words 'garbage', and not what's actually happening. Garbage can mean a lot of different things, and it's a word I would not use with any racer this generation.
This is no different than having all the symptoms of feeling illness, going into the doctors office and telling him you have a cold. The doctor's job is to take your symptoms and evaluate it, they don't care what you think you have.
