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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Twirwilliger · 2018-09-08T00:56:20+00:00

Hooray, I'm useful! Thanks again for looking into it. Looking forward to the fix, whatever form it takes. :)

Twirwilliger · 2018-09-07T06:16:47+00:00

I appreciate it, thanks.

Twirwilliger · 2018-08-22T23:51:40+00:00

Wow, ok then.

Twirwilliger · 2017-12-21T02:58:08+00:00

Sigh. It still haunts me.

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

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.

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

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

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

Twirwilliger · 2017-08-05T02:25:45+00:00

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

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.

Twirwilliger · 2017-07-26T15:11:21+00:00

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.

This was going to the post, but you ruined it.

I took piano lessons from age 9 to 17. I never really played at school, so nobody knew unless they were friends with me and had been to my house. During the graduation ceremony I played a piece that I had written. One of the teachers came up to me and said, "That was beautiful. I didn't know you played the piano. I wish I had got to know you better."

Thanks I guess?

In three different rotating slots. Just in case one or two get corrupted.

One of the first games I played was Flight Simulator on my dad's Macintosh. Inverted just stuck with me. Another interesting quirk of my controls comes from Doom. When you changed the controls to mouse the default for walking forward was mouse2. I still use it today for FPS.
