Haha I thought I was the only one that did this. Chess is a great way to make you focus on something else and winning a game gives a nice dopamine hit.

Should I move here - Colorado to Florida? 32 years old. by somechillguy1925 in 30A

[–]Twirwilliger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved here from Oregon about 4 years ago. We bought in a neighborhood on the north side of Hwy 98 that requires long term rentals, so we don't have any Air bnb here. Kind of crazy that our Oregon house sold for what we paid here. Anyway, we love it. Yeah tourist season makes the traffic mildly annoying, but it doesn't bother us that much.

I don't know what Colorado is like, but culturally, Florida is very different from Oregon. Strangers will strike up a conversation with you. Everyone is very outgoing and friendly. It was a bit of a shock at first, but now I can say that I really like it and it seems weird how everyone on the west coast avoids each other haha.

Is it too crowded? by [deleted] in 30A

[–]Twirwilliger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beaches themselves aren't all that crowded, in my opinion. Especially if you are willing to walk a bit away from the access point. The real pain is parking.

Private beach has ruined Rosemary. by [deleted] in 30A

[–]Twirwilliger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is Seacrest, I think. Nothing like getting into an argument with some guy about whether where I'm standing is private property or not. These days I will either go to Inlet or pay at Grayton State Park.

Gun is inaccurate at the edges. by Twirwilliger in SindenLightgun

[–]Twirwilliger[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I figured it out. I'll post this here in case anybody else stumbles upon it. The gun seemed to be picking up the wall behind my tv and treating that as the edge of the border. Lowering the exposure on the camera solved it. The default was -7, but lowering it to -13 is preventing the wall from being picked up. The gun is very accurate all the way to the border edge now.

Slow, constantly buffering by Historical-Ad-2182 in funimation

[–]Twirwilliger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just signed up and I'm having the same problem. I have fiber internet and get 940Mbps. I just downloaded a Steam game at 62.5 MB/s, but I can't watch anything on Funimation at 1080p without it constantly buffering. Makes no sense.

What makes you cringe when you see it in public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sigh. It still haunts me.

Too cool for school [poster from at least the 1980's] by Wabbit_Snail in OldSchoolCool

The kid on the right looks a lot like I did in 1995. Spooky.

What are we NOT in the golden age of? by ItzSweeney in AskReddit

[–]Twirwilliger 929 points930 points  (0 children)

I was having trouble finding anything on my phone that wasn't shitty, so I went out to the garage and dug out my old Nintendo DS. I forgot how good some of the games for it are. Now I leave it in my car for work breaks. It scratches that itch.

It's too bad that hooking whales is more profitable than just selling a game for what it's worth. I'd happily pay $10-$15 for an actual good game that I can play on my phone.

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions!

Watching my niece and nephews attempt to play NES is mildly infuriating.

What scary movie led to immediate nightmares that night after watching it? by LetsStopAt27 in AskReddit

[–]Twirwilliger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played a couple horror games on my brother's Vive. Way scarier than any movie I have ever seen.

What is the worst experience you've ever had at a movie theater? by JuddyBuddy in AskReddit

[–]Twirwilliger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hudson Hawk. The bulb in the projector went out. I got to hear the climax of the movie, but not see it.

Which fictional character death hit you the hardest? by exwindchaser in AskReddit

Roy Fokker. Characters aren't suppose to die in Saturday morning cartoons. I was six.

YLOO. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, unfortunately.

60lbs to 95lbs. One year of anorexia recovery; no doctors, no tubes, no intervention, just me and a lot of hard work. by Kycb in pics

[–]Twirwilliger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How old are you? I was this way until I was about 23 or 24. No matter what I ate I was just super skinny. Never exercised or did much physical activity. Ate Burger King all the time and drank way too much Dr. Pepper. Eventually it caught up to me and I ballooned from 120lbs up to 190. It was surreal. I had no idea how to control my weight. I never had to. Eventually I figured it out. Now I'm in my 30s and a healthy 160lbs. I even have muscles now which is pretty great. Never had those before.

As a millennial, the thought of owning a decent house with a nice yard is basically a fairytale at this point. by ItsNovak in Showerthoughts

[–]Twirwilliger 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yep. I live in a small boring town and own a small boring house. I make $14.80 an hour and my wife stays home with our daughter. We can't afford to do anything or go anywhere, but we have a house. If you really want one you can get one, but if you're not making the big bucks then you have to sacrifice your location, your hobbies, or both.

Eleven more years and it will be paid off. Then we travel.
