I don't see the problem with a guy lead either. Since it's mostly guys who play the game anyways. It is a predominantly a male funded industry, and if the fanbase wants it to be a guy... It really shouldn't be a problem. It's not like guys are mad that there are more female cosmetic stores and clothing stores. Where's Victoria's secret for men?

Her argument doesn't really work when some of the most popular games ever made have girl protagonists.

Portal 1 and 2... girl

Heart of the swarm... role reversal the guy is the damsel in distress

Anything by blizzard pretty much whatever gender you want to be you can be and make them look however you want.

Skyrim you can be a girl and do whatever you want.

The answer is money.

I personally can't justify the cost, a lot of your content was on lower level play and it's just not interesting for me. If I'm paying for something it needs to be the best. With that being said the tf2 community owes you, the game quite literally would not be the way it is without your commitments and I commend you for that. You are a talented caster and I think you were really getting on the upswing during i49. Some of the best casting ever done in tf2 period. If you made a continued effort to cast high level matches and show matchs from na, eu, even Australia, I would pay.

Get better thermal paste.

Get outside and breath the fresh air.

Your instructor is dumb. Putting your transmission in reverse is a bad idea plain in simple because you are making sliding wheels slide more. That is exactly what you do not want to do. Stalling your motor is not what you want to do, the idea is just careless he should never have told you that.

Letting go and giving up? Where did I say give up? I wrote the procedure to get your wheels rolling to regain control and then slow down to a stop or continue on. The advantage you are talking about could get somebody into an accident you should just stop telling people to do that... That's the only reason I care enough to actually respond.

Wrong again. D- on your driver score. You fail the test on snow and ice driving. I do driver training part time specifically for extreme winter conditions.

First wrong thing you said was you can put your car in reverse which is just a completely stupid and unsafe thing to do. By going in reverse you are making your wheels slide... You're causing a lack of control. Not only that there's a good chance you'll stall your engine. So now your out of control, your engine is dead, you're probably dead next. You can also destroy your transmission, have fun paying for that. Don't ever do that again it is just stupid. Don't tell me you learned it in parking lot either. You argue all you want, but highschool physics isn't going to help you. You really don't seem to know what your engine is actually doing.

Another wrong thing you said is nothing causing your wheels to rotate. Your engine is in gear and it is still pushing. If you begin sliding your foot is on throttle, it is a throttle induced slide. Your wheels are turning faster than their ability to grip the ground. When you take your foot off of the throttle your engine RPMS are going to slow down or speed up until the point where your wheels will turn. Once your wheels begin turning the RPMS of your engine will match that speed perfectly. IT PHYSICALLY CAN'T DO OTHERWISE! THE WHEELS DICTATE TO ENGINE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! You fucking around with the throttle "knowing your vehicle" is bullshit. Go on the highway with your car drop it into 2nd gear and take your foot off the throttle, watch the RPMS go up until they will stop when they match the wheels. You will get the jarring you talk about in this case because you are going highway speed and your engine will literally speed up by thousands of RPM. This is never the case in any slide, you wouldn't be sliding if there was enough friction for this to happen.

Let the engine find the RPM, it can do it better than any human ever could no matter how many parking lots you experiment in.

You're dead wrong on the engine braking. If you release the throttle your engine is still in gear pushing forward. You are not reversing anything. Your wheels are sliding... at this point your engine has very little ability to move forward or backwards or have any influence on the movement of your vehicle at all. You need to get your wheels rolling instead sliding. The way you do it is by releasing the throttle. You are already sliding there is no force (or very little force for the picky physics nerds) pushing back on you when the wheel turns forwards again in gear at an idle. Even if you shift into a very low gear your rpms will jump up and then rapidly slow down until the wheel rolls again at which point your rpm matches the threshold of rotational velocity needed in order make the wheel roll. There is no jarring effect because you still have no breaking power, you will just slide.

I've trained hundreds of people how to drive winter conditions on the shittiest oilfield lease roads ever. TELL PEOPLE TO TAKE THERE FOOT OFF THE THROTTLE IF THEY SLIDE IT'S GOOD THING TO DO IN ICY CONDITIONS ALWAYS 100% OF THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF VEHICLE YOU ARE DRIVING!!!!!

Unless you have jake brake there's no way that can happen just by releasing the throttle. Releasing throttle is easiest way of getting your wheels rolling if they're skidding. You gain more control not lose control by taking your foot off the throttle. In 4wd you shouldn't be using throttle at all to make the turn, it can cause binding.

I really don't understand what you mean oversteering and understeering because either of those is operator error. It has nothing to do with 2wd vs 4wd. If are turning a corner, you should be doing it at slow enough speed that there is no oversteering of any kind, and if you oversteer or normally understeer on regular basis... You probably shouldn't have a license!

Do you tell someone who has never driven in snowy conditions to not use 4x4 if they have it? To me that doesn't make any sense.

It simply just has to do with more weight being over your steer wheels since most 4x4s are rear wheel drive when the transfer case is in 2 high. There's no advanced technique for using 4x4. The advantage of 4x4 is that in cases where 2 of you drive wheels are skidding you still have more control because you have 2 wheels with traction pulling you where you want to go. What do you mean by excessive under steer without throttle? If you can't steer enough you are probably going way too fast! There really is no advantage to 2 wheel drive on ice... Except maybe making really tight turns and you like to have fun :)

I agree though, the best safety device you could add to a vehicle is a giant metal spike that comes out of the front of the steering wheel. You can have the safest care be useless in with bad driver and the most dangerous car be much safer just out of good driving habits.

4x4 does prevent skidding around corners. Especially in cases where the rear wheels are overtaking the steers.

The key to driving in snow/icy conditions is keep your wheels ROLLING. Most skids occur when throttling or braking.

Whenever possible avoid coming to a complete stop.

Increase your following distance by at least 4 seconds from summer driving.

Understand your brakes. If you have ABS brakes just press them fully and steer in the direction you want to go. If don't have ABS, press your brake in pulses.

If start to slide, take your foot off the throttle and do not push the brake. Look far in the distance and look at an object and steer towards it. Once you have regained control and your wheels are turning rather than sliding you can begin to brake as per normal.

Watch your RPMS, if you are going at a constant speed and they suddenly start jumping up and down by several hundred RPM, you are sliding. Take your foot off the throttle, do not brake until you have regained full control.

Understand changing conditions, it the temperature is around 0 C it's very likely that there are ice patches and wet spots.

Pushing the throttle to the floor at a standstill will leave you at a stand still.

Get snow tires, 4x4 helps.

TLDR: Do not accelerate or brake if you start to slide. If you slide, look far ahead find an object and steer towards it.

Sharing wireless wifi is a lot like sharing underwear... It's pretty disgusting. Better off running a cable if possible.
