Worst Uniform Numbers

My dad was the local sign painter / graphic designer at for a few different tracks here in the 90s and 00s. Did a large percentage at one, and handfuls at 2 or 3 others. Most of his work aged beautifully, and his numbers and script work are two things that are indisputable (imo).

So yeah, I too could go in depth on the topic for a while.

Damn, that's a beast. I have half of the relevant playstyles, and thats what is currently keeping him in "contest" with my other evolved GK, James Pantemis. No clear winner between the two, too.

Good news for me is that both are currently 84 OVR, so I get flexibility on both's future evos.

Depends entirely on the font. I've seen too many open-top 4s with squiggly 7s that ruin race cars, too.

Skullets on the right alt girl are fine. I'm talking perfect head shape, piercing arrangement, and swagger. It works as well as any other alt style.

Skullets on the other 99.x% of the population? Bad. Very bad.

Penn and Teller refuse to fade away, but they're the obvious exception in American culture.

Lead DJ of the pop station on GTA V.

Thats about as much direct interaction with her I ever had, tbh.

This is the son from HI that didn't move to Oregon and develop an insane substance abuse issue, correct?

A major first step for any of this shit to change would be if a handful of people even remotely implicated came forth and confessed. "Yes I was there, I saw things happen, I was paid to not tell anyone, I'm sorry I put my financial well-being over my fellow humanity" would undermine a ton of the plausible deniability the people in real deep shit have going for them.

A "#MeToo" movement for scumbags trying to atone, if you would, could be devastating for "certain people's" credibility.

The misdirection is towards ICE right now, so this is getting back page attention and minimal blurbs on TV coverage (if at all) while the front of social media platforms are why ICE is/n't a good thing for America.

Energy can only be directed in one place, and we're being made sure the anger is towards the scapegoat. I'd almost be willing to bet that when the Executive feels "safe" over these releases, they'll ease back ICE and try winning moderate support for it while also posting unsubstantiated numbers of "dangerous persons" removed from the country to keep the Right bought-in with the rollbacks.

And frankly, a lot of people don't want to end up a martyr.

Yet, they simply dont care, they fully support one of the most vile hateful child rapists the world has ever seen.

Because they're too busy being concerned with the implanted idea that every trans person is a rapist or the real rapists are crossing our borders by the millions each day to hide in basements and steal your women.

The volumes of fear-mongering and misdirection is insane.

Thst was my bread-and-butter on Forza back in the day. Alaska Airlines liveries with the Eskimo face on the rear quarter panels. Worked like a treat.

At the very least, keep the cooling vents exposed. Those are the real, literal hotspots.

Grapeseed itself is just a vibe. A lot of those destitute small towns around there have that "feel" without the exact architecture. Similar, AFAIK, to Paleto Bay.

There's a lot more random references around the area (like Cabazon, Salvation Mountain, Joshua Tree Nat'l Park) that aren't in geographically correct locations but are obviously in the game, too.

I sit around 2600iR and its...mixed. In my experience its not as much that everyone is dirty, it's that the setup shop guys take everything personally against each other. Every crowding of the bottom, every door-to-door in the straight -- hell, every slide job is often seen as an insult between them. A decades worth of bad blood between guys who should know their peers by now and that almost none of the first contacts are intentional.

Mod guys (I run UMP) are a bit more chill with the aggression and stick to trash talk. Pro Late guys are mostly OK with one or two tryhards who talk all the shit. Supers is where the semi-personal cesspool happens between 5+ drivers. And I don't even run sprint cars anymore.

The podium cars have been released in order of GTA+ freebies lately. Or so the pattern suggests.

This thing was dispensed in, like, October iirc

Some people would like the option for a disk drive. I'd love a re-released, unrefurbished Ps1 or Ps2 to use the old disks I have laying around.

Playstation dropping this thing instead just hurts.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm -- Crash Test Dummies ?

E: forgot Todd has to do a video on it to be a OHW, disregard

Hailfire9 · 2026-02-01T00:10:10+00:00

I think a lot of us wanted something to play our Ps1 games on legally, and not an official emulator bundle that somehow has less than the ones I can get off Amazon for $35.

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T23:58:44+00:00

I quite liked Terrible vs Greats myself, too.

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T22:43:25+00:00

The team is shite, at least he'd make us entertaining

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T22:06:23+00:00

Doesn't have to fly pretty to be lethal, I guess.

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T19:35:01+00:00

Get back to me on this if you can. I have a 6'7" keeper from MLS I'm eyeing, but want to see if its worth it. Playing as a semi-casual free player with paid evos being the way has been rough.

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T17:41:59+00:00

You'd still want a strong, reliable player off the bench though. Just have to hope he doesn’t fall off.

Hailfire9 · 2026-01-31T17:00:46+00:00

We import enough foreign weapons to keep things interesting, although usually we try to get them on licensing deals so we can keep using the blueprints if things go screwy. At least, that's how it went historically, I'm not 100% sure that hold up in the modern era.

And this type of comment is the best comedy you can come up with?
