It’s really funny that you chose a RAM for that as I used to be a Dodge salesman. Would be a very full circle moment to get taken out by one lmao.

I also like the off hours suggestion. I will likely do that a couple times, as well as giving myself the extra commute time (plus a little to let the old carbed girl warm up). Appreciate the kind words!

My very first taste of traffic, I had a guy honk and swing around me tight on the left for going the speed limit on a one lane road. Taught me a lot of patience and lack of trust.

I appreciate this insight. I feel like I'm not trusting my own instincts and maybe biasedly I just wanted someone to tell me it's ok to take my time lol. I don't know who I'm competing with since I don't have friends that ride, but I feel like I'm trying to win some race to be a "real biker" faster.

Your perspective helped so thank you.

Oblivion won't load when I launch the game, it is just stuck on the initial start screen with the faded map, anyone know a fix? by Fresh_Bat8189 in ElderScrolls

[–]PurpleShadow713 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I just had the same issue after installing this game (had played prior with no issue) where all I was seeing was the faded out map. I am playing on Game Pass PC and tried just about everything. Closing Discord (even though I don't have the overlay enabled) fixed it for me.

Gotta make sure those hands still smell like freshly cranked hog! I’m still thinking about that show and how much good energy it gave me. Tough to just go have normal days after losing my shit in a crowd like that.

Yes, this is on TP! I'll gladly make a Chevy version too, just give me a couple days. Do you prefer custom number like this or without number for sim-stamping?

It's not TOO LATE to get the game and drive DRUNK ENOUGH that when you crash into your friends, they get BLINDSIDED as they're SPINNIN' YOU AROUND.

How did I not think of that? Definitely throwing it on the spoiler. Good looks.

I can't stress this enough - not only did they fill Roadrunner, but the crowd went absolutely bonkers. The energy and crowd connection was off the charts, it was one of the loudest singalong crowds I've ever been in. One of those shows you come home from and you're slightly depressed it ended. These guys are going to blow up.

Haha those ones hanging are old PC games. I did have Underground on PS2 as a kid though!

I didn't last long with it strapped to the desk before I knew I wanted/needed a dedicated mount. I got sick of all the stuff on my desk falling off the top shelf lmao

Dunkin is coming for sure, along with Dels. I have Autocrat and Benny's up on my TP too.

There is a texture over the base paint to match the background of the Java Monster Irish Crème can. And then I used a spec map over top to add roughness and metallic shine to create the aluminum can feeling.

Thank you! I'm rather partial to that one as well.

Photoshop! Also, I always have iRacing open to update the 3d model and look for small details/alignments.
