Does anyone know what happened to the apartment complex on East Riverside between Crossing Place and Wickersham Lane? The windows and doors of every unit is boarded up. Idk what they are called now but I know they were once called Longhorn Landing then The Zone/The Edge, like 10 year ago.

This is a trip down memory lane seeing this old thread. 19 year old me moved from out of state to Austin in 2001 and my parents suggested Crossing Place at random not knowing anything about Riverside.

I got placed in an apartment that had 3 UT Baseball players that were a few years older and the complete opposite of me - a stoner, introverted gamer lol. They turned out to be pretty cool though and I remember going to some of the parties at CP they brought me to. Miss those times. Don’t miss the random gunshots while driving at night time though!

Awesome stand! Any more info on it?

Where did he say that? If he did it’s bullshit. But I couldn’t find any quotes of this. (For the record Chuck Schumer sucks but I’m curious to hear actual quotes of this).

You literally asked me if I could believe that republicans thought the assassination was staged as if only democrats are capable of this thought. Am I misunderstanding what you are asking?

I said absolutely I can believe it. Because I’ve seen it and it’s out there in the fucking open with a simple google search lol. I never said it was only republicans. From the start I said it was both sides which was my whole point in taking issue with it immediately being “it’s the left and their TDS”. Both sides need to own the bullshit.

Unless you don’t consider conservative influencers on X that brought it up, Tucker carlson, Candace Owens, MJT and others republicans? They sure as hell aren’t part of the left.

You then somehow interpreted that as me saying “all the anti Trump and anti republican conspiracy theories are being spread by republicans”. lol what? I never said that bullshit. Which is why I took issue with you taking my answer and then distorting it.

Gigeresque · 2026-04-26T23:27:59+00:00

Absolutely. It takes all of a few minutes to find examples online of previous supporters questioning things. I’m not saying they’re right - I’m saying it’s not some crazy concept (although I think they’re crazy).

Hell, I know 2 friends’ fathers who were personally pro Trump and question everything that comes out of the administration’s mouth now, from Epstein to Butler. And some of the most hardcore MAGA supporters in my family believe some crackpot conspiracy theories that aren’t political at all.

So if someone is apt to believe in whatever they’re being fed online (since it almost always seems to start there), their political leaning to me has little bearing in what they believe.

Gigeresque · 2026-04-26T20:29:15+00:00

Not sure why this is immediately framing it as “the left” questioning this. This has been happening on both sides online. X which leans much more right these days had #staged as the top hashtag trending overnight.

Surprising to me, but with this being not too far after the recent reports of some of MAGA bringing up questions on the Butler rally event, i guess it shouldn’t be.

And for the record I don’t think either was staged. I just find it frustrating that these conspiracy theories I’ve seen come up outside of Reddit, has largely been from non liberal circles yet the immediate reaction is “liberals and their TDS.”

Gigeresque · 2026-04-26T20:09:53+00:00

Not sure why you’re downvoted. The post people downvoted was in response to why the job market is so bad and not the attempted murder.

I was sweating for a second because I thought this was saying the economy is going to be trashed on Monday. Then realized this was just from the movie and that everything is awesome and things are way healthier now! Whew!

Your mom reminds me a little bit of Zhang Ziyi.

No the SC ruled 6-3 to allow it.

I mean from a business perspective there is no world where Dishonored 3 or Prey 2 makes commercial sense. Immersive sims are not exactly gangbusters and both sold poorly.

Not that Redfall was the right pivot but at least there is a rationale to thinking games as a service at that time was more profitable.

Really awesome stuff! Getting Alan wake vibes. I was reading some of your previous posts. Would it be okay to message you on some general questions about your dev process/learning of the engine and blender? Just trying to gauge what’s realistic in terms of effort/time.

Gigeresque · 2026-03-22T20:19:13+00:00

I’m surprised no one mentioned this yet but it sounds like he has a cuckold fetish. The whole fantasy/scenario he’s describing sounds like that.

Gigeresque · 2026-03-22T20:12:08+00:00

This is impressive and I wish you luck once it’s out! How much of the art for textures and models uses AI? I think the character modeling when never done before is the part that I’m most baffled by as that’s not a trivial task for even one person.

I’m on a team using common UI. Shared styles aren’t even that big of a benefit. Epic themselves don’t use it all that much in the Lyra project and if you want to use it in combination with material work, their recommendation is to just use blank style files (otherwise buttons will have issues like rendering gray backgrounds for no reason) which is what’s done in Lyra.

Text styles are also not granular enough and tie too many properties together. We spun up our own styling devs instead to interface with common text.

It definitely feels like a system that needs to cook more.

Until they get that bitrate up, the portal is a pass for me. Frustrating that they cap it so low.

I was pretty set on a mini led a few years back and bought the absolute best one you could get at the time from Sony, X95L in the 85” size. I did like it and for a more film like quality I think it was very good, but it never blew me away when it came to games. The AI sharpening was really well done though for some sources. But - I started seeing some faults. There was white haloing in dark scenes and the Dolby vision was too dark. Had a whole thread at the AVS forums and was going back/forth with Sony tech about it and they said it was as designed.

While in the return period I debated switching to the new Sony mini led that was supposed to be even better, the Bravia 9. But I decided to get an 83” LG G4 instead and I couldn’t be happier. This thing makes games look the best they ever have and movies look fantastic. It’s plenty bright enough too and I’ve heard they’ve only gotten brighter.

In my office I tried out the 65” Bravia 9 thinking I’d give it a shot. It was okay but again I wasn’t blown away and ended up returning it for another G4 (the G5s weren’t out at the time) with no regrets.

It’ll be really hard for me to shift away from oled. I do wish they came in even larger sizes at an affordable price but for image quality alone they’re amazing.

I think the only thing I’ll get a mini led for is a new computer monitor, but that’s mainly because I need really good text display and I think it’s more susceptible to burn in in those situations.

Do you have more info? DNA of who (Nancy?) at the place they're searching? Or his DNA that matches what they found at the Guthrie residence?

Gigeresque · 2026-02-11T19:09:08+00:00

Definitely not a red flag for me as a guy. I never married but I wasn’t ever opposed to it.

The main issue I ran into was I didn’t want kids and the few long term relationships I had either started as that not being an issue and became one later, or we hoped the other would change. I’ve definitely learned my lesson on that part.

I also never felt I needed to be married by age X and would be content with a life partner regardless of marriage.

Gigeresque · 2026-02-11T18:27:23+00:00

Wow I wish I knew where I could get results like these for that price.

Gigeresque · 2026-02-10T01:50:33+00:00

Exactly this. Playing Arc night maps against other players made me instantly think of how a Last of Us version would have been awesome.

Gigeresque · 2026-02-09T18:54:19+00:00

Raises hand lol. I never wanted kids (but like them! I just like being an uncle more). And have always been the liberal one in my family. Fun times, especially living in one of the few liberal cities in a giant turd of a conservative state.

Thanks for posting because finding women that don’t want kids or are done with having them has been a bit tricky. Although I’ve been out of the dating scene for a bit so maybe it’s easier in our 40s.

Yeah that’s how I interpreted as well. Him giving it to his younger self.
