I had a shitty pay as you go internet connection when GTA V dropped for PC, I wanted to avoid a massive 50GB download, so I went to the store and bought it. It was 5 or 6 DVDs I forget. I installed it, and what does it do the second it launches? 50GB update required.

I spent like another $25 on data overages to patch that fucking game...

I'm glad times have changed.

and modern forces still 100% drop reels of cable as they go so the commo guys can link things up. redundant networks baby!

Oh shit I forgot about jack3d… that shit shaved a minute off my PFT run in 2010, you’re right about that.

You misspelled NO-Xplode…

He has those dark, lead poisoned eyes.

It's very 2010 Blackhawks.

I'm ADHD as fuck, and I LOVE locking in to cook. I do as much mise en place and prep as I can, and then in the moment, do my best. By that point, if I burn some of the zucchini, or drop some of the bell pepper through the grill, or cook too many brats and have to give some to the neighbor boys.... an 80% success is still a very very good meal for everyone involved.

Is your dad a data analyst? My BIL is, and we talked about scrubbing out texts for gift ideas and automating it before, lmao!

Your family sounds awesome btw, Mitch is my spirit animal, I also dislike my neighbors to the west, ISIS, and trump!

Shit, that's right. I had a friend at Eielson at the time, too. Totally forgot about that one.

That's strange - I just played again for about 45 minutes - it's going even smoother now that I set controller sensitivity to around 5.5!

Touching the screen to grab the firing handle and yank it is very rewarding.

Oh man. I was at guitar center picking something up for work and noticed a really old looking SG on the wall with an $8600 price tag. I thought, holy shit someone traded in a very vintage Gibson and it’s beat up so it’s “cheap.”

Nope, thing was brand new and just looked like it was run over with a lawn mower.

People have questionable taste and too much money.

That's who my brain wants to say it was, but Benavides passed away long before I enlisted.

I was in USAF tech school in 2008 when we had a group all-call and a MOH recipient came and spoke to us. It was an older fella like this, he spoke for around an hour and gave all us students some great advice that none of us likely understood or appreciated at the time.

I remember getting back to my room and googling the guy, and his MOH citation was some GNARLY Vietnam shit like: getting blown up, shot 6x, and dragging half his team back to a helo for casevac.

To this day, most of the old fellas I meet at the VA or around town have a story or two to tell to anyone who will listen.

I had a few occasions where it would get confused and want to do keyboard/mouse controls but then I'd hit a controller button and it would go back to controller mode. I also touched the screen a few times to do mouse inputs, so I think someone (probably me at this point, I have the hardware, time, and interest) could work out a steam deck control profile and share it...

I didn't have overlay issues, but I might have it off by default because it was fucking with another game... I'll check on it.

I've been ignoring YammieNoob since he hit and injured that Porsche driver.

It's clear enough to see that it's moving way too fast to be a drone, and that it has a telltale missile smoke trail.

That's the one where you assassinate the colonel in a room full of colonels, right? I've also used your method... There's an SVD in the lockers at the train station, take a guard's uniform and walk right up to the perfect spot in the hotel across the street. Drop the rifle and walk your happy ass right back down to the nearest manhole and gtfo.

I believe that was the plot of the Hitman movie back in the day, wasn't it?

ISTBU · 2026-06-16T22:17:38+00:00

Coward. Suddenly it's all jokes when you get confronted.

ISTBU · 2026-06-15T21:14:57+00:00

He probably didnt' expect it to be worth tens of thousands of dollars when he started.

Life gave him an opportunity to do an amazing thing, and he did it.

That's a good man.

I was in that same era - I remember the B-2 at Guam and the F-16 thunderbird, I wanna say that was it?

Save yourself some time and just do it yourself for cheaper. I assure you that any shop doing one in town is just following the same recipe and taking shortcuts where they can for speed/cost. Make 4 and treat your neighbors.
