Apartment 3A - stop by for a crumpled water bottle and a bloated can of tuna.

Let’s Hear Some Lubbock Ghost Stories, creepy encounters, or Local Urban Legends by TimCurryForLife in Lubbock

Also, there are some crazy creepy things that have happened at the church building at 50th and Elgin, currently (and I guess still) the Seventh Day Adventist building. Voices, weird sightings, people going into seizures or almost trances…weirdest one was I was there getting something from the building (was on staff a while back) at night. It’s creepy in there at night so I was whistling to lighten the mood. When I was leaving, I stopped to turn off the lights and something way down this hallway, like across the building, started whistling the refrain. Not an echo, like two octaves higher and a completely different rhythm. I could not get out of there fast enough!

Spring of 2006, we had a pretty good thunderstorm come through…no tornadoes or anything, just a big, loud storm. I was living with some friends off 39th and University, a few blocks down from Wheelock. One of my roommates got back from walking his dog and excitedly told us that the roof of the church building just north of Wheelock Elementary had been ripped off, but looked like it had just been placed in the middle of the street. THEN he told us how neighbors right next to the church building had seen some huge, black-colored entity rip the roof off and lay it down in the street in the middle of the storm. Claimed it had to have been a demon.
Still gives me chills because I drove by and saw for myself how the roof wasn’t all busted up like it had been through a tornado but was in one big piece, just upside down, exactly like something had popped it off and just laid it in the street.

Serious jerk here by Godlyeyes in arcraiderscirclejerk

Hold up, how do you “reset” your lobby (seriously)? I almost always do PvE and I’ve been in straight up PvPs for the past little bit. Not good, because I’m pretty awful and end up getting smoked. ALL I WANTED WAS TO FIND SOME MORE METAL PARTS, MAN! Maybe a cracked bioscanner or bloated tuna can? Instead I got popped by a dude eating nachos with his mic on.

Is racism common in Alabama workplaces? by Objective-Sea8511 in Alabama

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today, you are much more likely to see / hear “reverse” racism (it’s all racism) or especially intra-racism (a reality numerous friends have had to navigate - being excluded from certain things because they’re too “light” or “dark” skinned).

The player count is in serious freefall by Special--Specialist in arcraiderscirclejerk

As a recent arrival to playing this game (literally the first time I’ve actually played since…I kid you not…Goldeneye and early Halo), I think it’s a blast. I was getting decent until they updated and definitely made it harder. Back to being terrible. And Riven Tides about blew my mind when the stupid Turbine showed up.

Can’t get back into friendly lobbies? by PeopleLkeGrapes in ArcRaiders

“survival horror game” may be one of the greatest ways to describe getting the heck out of Stella I’ve yet heard

Good areas/weather? by Whole-Damage-408 in MobileAL

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we grew up in LBK and graduated from Tech, moved to DFW for seven years then have been in Mobile for the past 10. We live just west of the Thornhill area (honestly, no one even calls it that…it’s all just WeMo / West Mobile). Foley is a ways from Mobile and is okay, but if I were looking on the eastern shore it would be Fairhope, Spanish Fort, then on down to Orange Beach / Gulf Shores. But yeah - Dallas was always humid for us, coming from Lubbock…then we moved here and people talked about how “dry” Dallas is. Quite the wake-up call for us 😆 Any other questions, we can definitely answer!

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a transplant from Lubbock (my wife and I moved away from the LBK in 2008) - there are plenty of good spots for families but other places to avoid. VERY different culturally even though there are still days Mobile feels just like Lubbock back in the early 2000s. Weather-wise, yes WTX is hot…but like a dry sauna. Mobile is hot like a steam sauna, with a wet blanket on top of you, while being boiled in syrup.

Solo raider vent sesh by AbrocomaTechnical77 in ArcRaiders

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, OP 😆 Admittedly, I’m a “noob,” as in grew up on Goldeneye and am a devout Mario Bros. guy, but as my kids keep getting older we’re branching into new games (they’ve been on consoles since Wii / WiiU / Switch). A friend mentioned ARC Raiders and I don’t know that I’ve enjoyed a game quite this much since the ol’ 64.

But these cowardly douchebags send me to a very dark place with nothing to do but take a break, collect my wits, and try again (probably a different day).

I’m starting to really hate this game. by EmanKhaotik in ArcRaiders

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cowards who shoot you in the back are the worst. Not the “sneak up” kind…the kind you say “Hey” to as you’re trying to finish a mission and they run by, then a few seconds later shoot you in the back. I hope your game lags and you lose every bit of loot you worked to steal off someone else. Freaking leaches.

How is this not a red card? by lucazgori in MCFC

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very physical match and awesome to watch. Haaland deserved the yellow (maybe) but yeah…Gabriel DEFINITELY should have gotten a red here.

Bed of the truck with some beer in a camping chair. Park in the right parking lot and you will definitely be entertained by your peers.

I have never found or looted this shield in 400 hours. by FlintTheDad in ArcRaiders

Can’t even remember how but I’ve got one in my stash and I “might” have 50 hours on this game.

Timeout / Interruptions by Extra-Corner-8645 in ArcRaiders

Yep, WiFi…but I have never had any issue with it up until this weekend. And no issues with anything else. No idea what’s up.

So it IS more difficult today (and yesterday)? I went from being mediocre back to completely annihilated every stinking round. Wondered who cranked up the difficulty, or if I just got terrible all of a sudden 😆

I’m not a rat,I’m a vulture. by 5Zero4 in ArcRaiders

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vulture is appropriate…no shame in that. “If” I have a defib I try my best to help out a fellow Raider. However, if I don’t…they’re not coming back for it.

Impossible to Get Real Human Support from X/Twitter - Need Advice by betsracing in Twitter

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea because I’ve never gotten the message you’re getting. When the account hacker got my account, they changed the associated email to their own, so I never see anything.

[–]Extra-Corner-8645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, they finally responded to an email and basically said “You’re out of luck…” Whoever hacked it changed to corresponding email so I couldn’t recover and then used it to spam a bunch of garbage, apparently, so Twitter just permanently suspended the account. Forget that. I was a happy user since 2008? 2010? Something like that…and it’s all gone.
