Update + rFactor Lore (mini-post)

Post 2, January 27, 2025

Hey hey hey. Guess who's posting again.

I can't lie. I'm quite enjoying this little housebuilding process. Though I'm likely getting close to the point where I'll need to take off the AI training wheels and start getting gud. The site is quite lovely so far, but I feel like it'd be a bit lazy to just solely rely on chatGPT for everything. Though considering I'm starting at 0 and I've got this little site semi-functional, I guess it's not so bad.

I think I've learned the most whenver things go wrong. I'm picking up on the way to format things and how to make the site actually work. It's nothing crazy so far, but even the little bits I'm picking up on have me excited to learn more.

In any case - now's a good time as any to start on the blog, right? I envision a semi steady stream of high quality, well researched content coming this way eventually, but while it's just me chillin in my abode in my free time, a few opinion pieces or fun facts will do.

So, what have I found today?

I made a lil discovery not too long ago while messing around with rFactor for a bit of testing ahead of Formula rFactor's comeback. I remembered that I hadn't perused the user's manual in a while, so I decided to look it up since I also happened to recall that there was some pretty nifty lore tucked away in there.

Now. I'm a sucker for lore. I love lore. My patience for lore is unending. I will play the shittiest game of all time, just to read the mid tier 6/10 loredumps. And rFactor, being a racing sim, doesn't necessarily NEED to put any level of importance on it's lore, (especially considering most people will just skip the base content altogether lol) but the fact that it does is pretty cool in my opinion.

Ok. Enough yappage. What did I find? Well, in introducting the world of rFactor, the manual gifts here:

I love it. The BASED rFactor lore is that, by making racing incredibly affordable, yet infinitely customizable to the masses, rFactor Motorworks created a series that is up to FIVE TIMES more popular than Formula One on the basis of it actually being feasible to compete in, lmao.

Also, this is definitely me overly reading into the manual, but the file that holds all of the directories and rules for a certain mod is called a .rfm. rFactor is probably the single most modded racing game on the market - I've seen mods for everything from Formula One to WRC, to even an awesome remaster of the Grand Prix games! What does that mean? Oh, nothing, really, just that

EVERY RACING SERIES IN THE WORLD IS RUN BY RF MOTORWORKS.

It's no wonder they have 100 million viewers, THEY'RE LITERALLY MANAGING EVERY MOTORSPORT IN THE WORLD! Motor being optional really since there's even horse racing mods for rFactor, lmfao.

Anyway, I'm not here to summarize. Also, I had a terrible night's sleep, so I don't wanna yap on for too long. If you want more interesting mid 2000s sim lore, You can see the link to the page below.

Well then. Looks like the blog is semi functional. You can probably notice that this part of the site is noticably different from the index - That's thanks to ChatGPT coding. I hate AI as much as the next guy, and certainly dont want any bots perusing this site in particular, but the rate of which i can work on this site with it is simply incredible. Workin' with the devil, it looks like.

Well, it's not all lazy. I'm learning quite a bit about how to actually navigate HTML and CSS. I would never have been able to do this in high school, so for me to have something even semi-competent makes me really excited. I can't lie, I really enjoy the format of this page. ChatGPT making me give it credit, smh. In any case, There's plenty more to change, but we'll get there.
