@Cyannin i'm probably going to stare at the craigslist post for weeks imagining myself getting it and not actually doing anything, per usual

this Squareback that I've passed hundreds of times on my moped in Portage Bay is now for sale, tempting https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/1972-vw-squareback-rack/6722721820.html

@anthracite happy birthday!

@weird_hell yepppp :<

Bitcoin finally dropped below 5k, hopefully this means a total collapse on the horizion, graphics card prices going down, and the stupid waste of energy that is bitcoin mining evaporates

Mighty Mighty Bossrush

this guy gets it though https://www.carthrottle.com/post/wvm9md8/

sometimes mom gets bored and climbs a mountain, or Flattop in Anchorage

@honeysweet yeah, also its like "heres a game you need to play and write 1000 words about in a week", thing. but reading it over it's like "dude, cmon", because the author doesn't realize it has sim racing mechanics so drifting takes effort. like if I read it without playing it, I wouldn't buy it, but after playing it i'm like 'yes, this is good'

reading the IGN review it really seems like the reviewer didn't know how to drive, which is a fuckin shame

"Home Day" is my JAM https://www.zophar.net/music/playstation2-psf2/tokyo-xtreme-racer-drift-2

also the music SLAPS

A friend gave me this game a few months ago, finally hooked up my PS2 today to play it, and folks, it's really good. It has a BBS you can browse where NPCs shit talk each other. You go to parking lots at night to challenge other NPCs to street races. you do "legit" races during the day to get money. It's really deep and has a good racing mechanics. I can't belive IGN gave it 4/10

this works on multiple levels because the album has several references to LA, and the last LA moped gang was called the "late birds"

@Skirmisher I was running tonight and there was a whole lot of low fog, like 3 ft high, over this feild. it was hella creepy. like out of a horror film.

If I ever 1) move to LA and 2) try to start a Moped Club down there, we're going as the "Midnite Vultures" after the Beck album of the same name.

@KitRedgrave Ken Levine, because I sat thru his whole "narrative legos" talk expecting something and it was just the dumbest game system imaginable. at least david cage gave us 'hankcon' slash fic

as i add new systems to this game it's harder to balance it. not sure if I should add everything then balance, or balance as I go along.

bug's fixed now I think? the sword is way OP and you can kill with one blow, basically.
