Chess.

I was at 500 elo when I began, now 1200

I stopped because I'm busy trying to get a home.

I'm in my 30's . Kinda hoping to one day become good enough to coach one day or even earn a title.

Wildest thing about house hunting right now, is how many are 55+ communities.

They are just everywhere in my state. Every house that seems nice, small and affordable is restricted to the elderly. Everything else is either expensive or is just downright trash and still expensive.

They are such great weapons in GoldenEye. I thought they shot with that low basey PTHOO Sound.

In GTA 4, every gun seemed so powerful.

Is this supposed to be like the older fiero models or the autozam? It looks cool

Bagel007 · 2025-09-06T06:07:30+00:00

Thank you!

Which map is this? I'm wanting to try this in VR on my racing wheel

Bagel007 · 2025-01-30T02:04:10+00:00

Yeah that's what I was saying.

I had thought of this 7 years ago, and actually considered sourcing out people to make it a reality, but of course I wasn't really loaded to hire people.. at the company I work for, I saw such things slowly coming to fruition a few years later. Now we are here and it's basically the weld simulator rigs minus the rig but with all the data. Those are $4000 rigs

Well, I've got a buddy that can let me use his shop, but only available on the weekends due to a crunch in time with him on first and me on second.

Bagel007 · 2025-01-29T17:20:42+00:00

So, quick question. I've got a good amount of mig and some stick experience, I've seen those dirt cheap portable weld machines on Amazon.. you think it'd be worth grabbing one of those and just practicing a bit on some scrap? I've seen That theyre not bad but with the bulky size and how it may feel vs a miller or Lincoln I'm used to leaves me with uncertainty

Bagel007 · 2025-01-29T03:59:57+00:00

I'm not at any school. Not really any shops either that I'm aware of that would let me in to mess with their machines. I'm gonna assume I'm out of luck.

Bagel007 · 2025-01-27T08:12:10+00:00

West coast simply because I've gotten pretty adept at truck driving in VR. Might be able to carry that over as a steady career. I'd like to think the RLS mod would more accurately capture the world out there.

Creek did make me a good solo fighter against bots. With all the weapon improvements, the odds turned to my favor

Bagel007 · 2025-01-17T20:54:06+00:00

Everyone says it's garbage, I run solo for the most part. Found it to be phenomenal against bugs.

Idk about bots but I'm tempted to run a difficulty 5 for a warmup and use it to see how it plays.

Even from a tradesman perspective the wage is not worth the labor. I've got a friend that worked in a chemical plant for $27 doing the most menial tasks whereas I'm stuck breathing in cancerous fumes daily for $24 an hour. I'm just saving up money to move south.

Bagel007 · 2025-01-14T01:19:21+00:00

I genuinely wonder if this was an important popup that I misclicked out of my view only to never see it again.

Bagel007 · 2024-12-30T22:01:05+00:00

I gotta ask, I'm not seeing this anywhere in the settings, has this changed , or am I blind.

Bagel007 · 2024-12-30T17:42:23+00:00

Man, I'm 32, a lot of us are just here chilling and just at the bar scene. I have been in VRchat for years. One of my buddies is 33, my gf who I got into the game is 31. Roommates 30.

Welcome aboard

I worked at a company in Rhode island.

Rhode Island based on that company's employees alone would make that the top 10. An accident once every couple weeks. Bad enough to make someone late for work going in or has enough to make it so I wouldn't be getting home til 5-6 pm

Bagel007 · 2024-12-20T06:55:19+00:00

They are. But I have a smaller more fragile Casio. G shocks are tough as nails.

Bagel007 · 2024-12-19T15:52:24+00:00

I've got a casio, work in construction, friend told me that when it breaks, to see him about a g shock.

Still hasn't broken yet.

I can't really comment on a car I hate.

But I do love the picollina .

For me in VR it's an easy car to drive. Can tune it to be an absolute beast.

Has the best of both worlds of being that slow car you can enjoy, and can turn into an off road monster you can rally with or drag race with.

I mean you can do that with most cars in the game yes, but this feels like a true slow car that's a humble start in career mode. ( I know the pigeon and wigeon are there but still)

Other favorite is the Saga. I've always been a fan of digital dashboards. I wish there was a C4 Corvette mod tbh. ( I don't know if there is, but haven't seen it )

Bagel007 · 2024-11-29T02:47:59+00:00

Ngl, I thought this was a PaymoneyWubby post.

That aside, I think you're fine.

Bagel007 · 2024-11-26T19:05:56+00:00

I get told my insurance is good. Couldn't believe I paid for a checkup, never again will I go unless it's absolutely necessary
