WasmachinemanAnd as you can see by my extremely aggressive driving I was rather pissed due to various stuff like the latest version of Ghost Replay being broken or that I could not get a proper hotlap on this goddamn track.
Until now. I even bettered my old track record set with the Vulcar Ingot Four Thousand by 15 seconds.
Some minor mistakes here and there such as Rstein oversteering at 04:20 which caught me completely off-guard. No Pursuit Mode in this run, I might do another run with Pursuit Mode turned on.

Ehh, i'll prefer my moms camera.Miele WT745 & Asko/Cylinda 20005: test wash/spinWasmachineman2023-10-30 | @jesper6107 came over earlier today and he bought me these three machines, a supposedly dead WT745 (that only neeeded a little nudging of the pump to get working lol) and a Cylinda 20005/7705 set. Washer needs a pump, haven't tested the dryer but it could use a clean.
WT745 has been stripped for parts as it's physically in bad condition. Worked perfectly otherwise, short of the door button being dead.Miele Novotronic W908: Easy-Cares 50Wasmachineman2023-10-14 | The usual story: free machine up for grabs locally in questionable condition. AquaStop was broken so I had to drill out the valve. Also replaced the inlet valves and shocks because they were dead.
Other than that, it's in great condition for it's age, with the usual scratches and a burnt-in coffee stain on the door trim for some reason. This W908 is one of the last OG 900 Series machines, this one being built on September 24th 1997.Can the RTX 4090 run GTA V in 5k?Wasmachineman2023-09-19 | Answer: well, yes and no. Not maxed out with 8xAA at 5120x3200 and still get 60+ FPS. It will likely take a 5090 to do so. Still, 40 FPS at this insane resolution is nothing to sneeze at!
Something I also noticed: GTA V looks MUCH, MUCH nicer with a Nvidia card than my 6900 XT in the main rig. The sun has godrays, reflections on TT5/Rstein's windows or grille are not broken and look as they should with 8x Reflection AA. Only issue i'm getting is strange pop-in.
Recorded using ShadowPlay on my AI/VR rig, featuring a 5800X3D, 64GB of B-Die at 3200 CL14 using a built-in memory profile of my ASUS C8DH, a Inno3D RTX 4090 iChill Frostbite ULTRA with the Galax HoF 666W vBIOS (so the card runs at 1.1V as it should) and a custom loop composed of dual 420 mm rads plus 3x480 as external water cooling.
This all is powered by a Corsair AX1600i since I originally intended on going dual 3090 Ti for AI stuff. Might still do that if I ever go off the deep end with it though, and move the 4090 to my main rig.AEG Lavamat Exclusiv L76689FL: Cottons 95Wasmachineman2023-08-09 | Was out driving for something unrelated and came across this thing at the local scrap pile. Asked the owner of said pile what he wants for it, bought it home, connected it, machine works just fine lol
Dirty as hell though, and it takes forever to do a load of laundry compared to the WT745 or 20005.
Fun fact: this is my newest machine so far, and it's also my first AEG.
This machine is now sold.EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition in GTA VWasmachineman2023-05-23 | Just TT5/Rstein driving around the GTA V countryside on my secondary rig, now temporarily running a EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Kingpin Edition on air.
This thing has a absolutely batshit insane amount of coilwhine.Miele Novotronic W934 Super: Cottons 95Wasmachineman2023-03-10 | Saw this machine at a thrift store, bought it because my sister will need a machine in the future as she'll be moving out soon.
Aside from being horribly dirty, it works perfectly and is whisper quiet. Well, aside from the drain pump which i'll probably replace some time before she'll take it to her new home.Asko Excellence 7705: Program 1/Extra DryWasmachineman2022-12-27 | HELL YES, I FINALLY FOUND A 7705! And locally too!
The mother of the seller I bought it from unfortunately died so this 7705 and a Adamant/W650 washing machine came up for grabs. It's in AWESOME condition for a almost 27 year old (9603 date code) machine!
Yes, I cancelled the final spin of the WT745. The other 770 is also being stripped for parts since it's missing a wash pump anyways.Peugeot Proxima concept car demo video (1986)Wasmachineman2022-12-05 | Electronic Calculators! New materials! Modulated four wheel drive! Anti-collision radar!
This demo video for the Peugeot Proxima concept car won first place in the Corporate Communication category. If you ask me the graphics in this video wouldn't stand out in something like TRON!
Scored a Vega 64 Nitro+ in box earlier today. Card could use a clean as it's quite dusty, but it's working and has Samsung VRAM too!

You can definitely see a few differences compared to the final version of P2027, the Titan Uplink room being radically different for instance.

Answer: this video. Was originally planning on doing a video among the lines of "can you break GTA V by going 5000 mph?" but this happened instead.
Did you know the map in GTA V is actually spherical and beyond that point the game goes completely crazy?Miele W4146: Outdoor 40 Part 4: ImpregnatingWasmachineman2022-09-27 | Re-washing my coat with Kruidvat water repellent to make it water resistant again.Miele W4146: Outdoor 40 Part 2: End of main wash and rinsesWasmachineman2022-09-27 | And a T491 that finishes drying.

Washing my softshell coat once again in moms her W4146, using Coop/G'woon delicate detergent on Outdoor 40 with Water Plus enabled. Am hoping to catch the rinses and final spin too.
After this cycle I am also going to impregnate this coat to make it waterproof again.

Never heard of it.Wasmachineman2022-04-19 | Alternative title: Can the 6900 XT Toxic Extreme Edition handle GTA V in 4k with (almost) maxed out setttings?
Some people complained GTA V has massive texture pop-in issues with high speed driving.
Well, here's TT5/Rstein on Figure8's Top Speed Track going over 1000 km/h and no pop in. Max settings except Grass Quality, 8x AA, 3840x2400 VSR.
Even later in the city the only issue I have is relatively low FPS. And Rstein somehow breaking parts even with the Knight Rider mod enabled :^)Fallout New Vegas: custom music is AWESOMEWasmachineman2022-04-03 | Or: how do I make Victor's Shack sound like a clandestine laboratory?
An idea I got by listening to Machine For Screams - 5O-FAR-D0WN: I replaced Metallic Monks with that track, and it makes this place sound very... interesting, to say the least.
New Vegas with your own music (or the excellent NeptuneUK Digital Nightmare mod) makes this game so much better. Not knocking Inon Zur or Mark Morgan's excellent soundtracks though, but having played NV for almost 400 hours the music was starting to become a bit too repetitive.
Listen to Buildzoid's music project and the track in question here: soundcloud.com/machine4screams/5o-far-d0wnMiele Novotronic W363: Cottons 95 ShortWasmachineman2022-03-27 | Almost five years later and I got myself a(nother) W363. An acquintance of someone I know bought a new machine because his old one, this W363, walked during spinning.
Not surprising, considering the shocks were completely gone. I was speaking to my dad in the start about the new shocks.
Filmed with the F(x)tec Pro1.

Swapped over the one from the 770 that was above it and now I have a working 770 again.
Testing it on Program 6/Final Rinse to check for leaks and if the replacement pump is working correctly.Miele WT745: Cottons 95 start of cleaning cycleWasmachineman2022-03-11 | A short filler video. The WT745 still works fine even almost five years on!GTA V: Revisiting the Nürburgring with my Volvo 850 TT5/R AWDWasmachineman2022-02-18 | And recorded on my old computer of all things, now featuring a water cooled RX480 Nitro+ overclocked to 1400 MHz.
You can definitely see how much my driving has improved since July: I no longer take corners as agressively, I know when to brake much better, and I still haven't beat my 6:03:839 record :(
Remember that multitasking video (youtube.com/watch?v=1mej8X57DIw) I did about my 3950X? Well, let's now try if I can run four games at the same time on one computer.
The answer: Yes, I can, and very well too!
I noticed ReLive hates games patched with Creative ALchemy for some reason, as New Vegas has no sound during recording and is patched with ALchemy to get EAX working. Probably the same reason I also don't get any sound in Hitman: Contracts.Hitman: Contracts: EAX off vs EAX onWasmachineman2022-02-06 | Alternative title: old games had much better sound design than new ones!
I installed ALchemy to re-enable EAX in Hitman: Contracts and this is the result. Man, the Training Area never sounded so big and echo-y with it enabled.
Sound card in question is a Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional set to Game Mode.
3950X, 6900 XT Toxic EE overclocked to what's basically Toxic Boost speeds (2750 MHz) plus a VRAM OC of 2180 MHz and the best of all: Windows 7.

It's working fine though!
Specs aren't that special, i7-3740QM, 32GB RAM and a FirePro M4000.GTA V: High FPS breaks the game just like Vice City and San AndreasWasmachineman2022-01-21 | 3D Era GTA high FPS glitches make a return in GTA V it seems. For some bizarre reason, Rstein, when using my Track preset for VStancer has juddery suspension issues.
TT5/RStein on the other hand doesn't glitch out even with lowered suspension. How weird.
DarkViperAU also made a excellent video on this subject: youtube.com/watch?v=hVTPiFtigSUGTA V: Some hooning around (and me testing my 6900 XTs performance)Wasmachineman2022-01-13 | Yes, I finally upgraded to something that's four times the performance of my RX480: a Sapphire Radeon RX 6900 XT Toxic Extreme Edition. I wanted a 6900XT Toxic AC but ended up going with a slightly used Toxic EE.
Gotta kill some time on waiting for some game downloads so here's some hooning around in my Vulcar Ingot Four Thousand just to show off how AWESOME this GPU is. Shame the AIO pump and fans are quite loud, oh well.
1600p VSR, maxed out settings except Grass Quality, and still getting above 60 FPS in Sandy Shores. Card has a very slight (1150mV) undervolt and min/max core frequency are set to 2500/2600 in WattMan. I now have it set to 2730 and 2180 MHz VRAM with Fast Timings enabled.
One thing I did notice too: ReLive recording quality seems to be significantly better compared to the RX480. Compare it to the last video I shot: youtube.com/watch?v=KPiZ8fvrOM0

It's extremely dirty, the prewash valve is completely dead and the door seal has a tear in it causing it to leak.
This machine is radically different than the W729 I had in October, this machine has a base plate with float switch (and seems to be downgraded from WPS to a normal rubber hose considering how stupidly long the inlet hose is), Novotronic I controls so no 1/2 load button, and a MRT34 motor instead of the MRT01 the other one had.

For some reason, the latest drivers for the FirePro M8900 are VERY broken and cause blocks to appear in GTA V, even with shadows disabled.
Recorded on a Dell Precision M6600: i7-2760QM, now a i7-2960XM FirePro M8900 @ 850/1150 which replaced a dead Quadro 3000M (and was in turn replaced by a Quadro 4000M. And got replaced by a Quadro 5010M!) And above all: a PremierColor IPS screen which is the reason I bought it in the first place.

The Asko is doing Program 1 95 Eco with some shop rags and is nearing the end of the prewash and the start of the main wash.
The Miele on the right is doing some whites on Cottons 95, nearing the end of the main wash, a cooldown, interim spin and rinses. Amazing how quiet it is compared to the Asko even though it has the same type of motor!Miele W487 and Asko 20005: Cottons 95, part 2: Final rinse and final spin failWasmachineman2021-11-13 | For whatever reason, the motor just.. died during the final spin causing it to give a error code for Motor Malfunction/flashing Rinse.
The Asko is about halfway in the main wash.Miele W487 and Asko 20005: Cottons 95, part 3: Final spin #2 and spider failure at 1800 RPMWasmachineman2021-11-13 | Here's the reason i'll be returning the W487 as I mentioned in part 1: the spider snapped. Yes, that is smoke coming out of the door from the door seal being eaten by the drum!
So much for being Miele's top of the line machine in 2003, lol. The Asko next to it is from 1995 and only needed a new pump, shocks, door and inlet valves in 26 years time!
The Asko still is halfway the main wash.Miele Novotronic W729: Last wash (on Cottons 95)Wasmachineman2021-10-14 | Bought this machine for parts as the door lock was broken and the fact it's extremely gross, I jerryrigged the door lock by bridging the two wires for the microswitch tricking the machine into thinking the door is permanently closed, and as for actually keeping the door closed: a garden rake and our backyard lawn.
Doing a wash on Cottons 95 with some Jumbo detergent to clean it out before being disassembled, as I like working on a clean machine.

I bought this machine because it had a broken GPU and was rather cheap. I heatgunned the GPU back to life (but it still errors like crazy when running MATS) and here it is running SPECviewperf 11.
Specs: Intel Core i7-2760QM 16GB RAM Nvidia Quadro 3000M @ stock and with damaged VRAM Windows 7 Ultimate And above all: a RGBLED IPS display that looks worse than my M6500's WUXGA RGBLED display somehow.Miele W4146: Cottons 95 maintenance washWasmachineman2021-07-11 | Throwing in some citric acid in the W4146 to clean it out on Cottons 95.Miele WT745: Cottons 95Wasmachineman2021-07-01 | Remember that WT745 I had in 2018? Yes, this is the same machine now back in my possession. Old owner got a new machine because the pump on this machine failed/started leaking. I replaced the pump and here it is again running on Cottons 95.
I also replaced the door as it was bent inwards somehow and leaked. (and also dropping the door glass on the floor causing it to shatter, F)GTA V: Which of the two Rsteins is the fastest?

I even managed to set a new personal TT: 51 seconds. Not bad for a 300 mph super station wagon which handling I tuned myself. Next step: the Nurburgring.
