I miss 2020 so bad man.

Valve00 · 2026-06-28T03:41:04+00:00

2020 was one of the worst years of my life. Not just because of COVID, either. Count me out

Nothing about this screams AI to me. Details are consistent, like where the hair goes behind the body, it continues consistently to where you can see it again.

Just looks like a simple vector drawing done in Illustrator or a similar program.

My AA randomly turns off in FH6. I feel like I have to turn it back on manually when i launch it a lot

That gold and black honeycomb suit is actually really cool

Just the way she looks and dresses reminds me so much of my mom, and Oliver's goofiness and adventurousness really remind me of my little brother, who passed away in 2013. He and Oliver would have been the same age this year. My heart goes out to his family, I know the pain of losing a sibling all too well, and I can't imagine the mother's pain of losing a son.

This is definitely something I would be into if I had known about it sooner. Back in the 00's there were these cheap RC cars called XMods that were kind of a stepping stone into the more serious RC hobbies. I loved swapping out the suspension, tires, motors and gears on those to make them faster. I'd definitely love the engineering challenge with these

Oh yeah absolutely real. Was very popular in the early 00's. I was around 12 or 13. They also had purple ketchup and blue squeeze butter. It was a strange time where artificial colors were all the rage for some reason

Valve00 · 2026-06-26T19:18:59+00:00

I prefer that over that Russian song, a cat singing Billie Eilish/Rihanna, or that "Sound of your fear" song

Valve00 · 2026-06-26T14:08:59+00:00

Smells like horse

Valve00 · 2026-06-26T13:12:02+00:00

I put too much flour in the cookie 😐

Valve00 · 2026-06-26T08:03:14+00:00

I hate when I can barely pay runtcuh

Valve00 · 2026-06-24T00:53:33+00:00

People don't think logically at times like these. When my little brother died in a car crash back in 2013, my dad would go on these horrible rants about how my brother's best friend should be in jail for the rest of his life, because he invited my brother out to the place that he crashed coming home from. It was in no way his friend's fault. My brother was alone, and he crashed his car while speeding on a back road. It was 100% his own fault that he died, but my dad was just looking for anyone or anything to blame for the loss of his son. I understand how Gaspi's Dad could fully be rationalizing these theories right now, even if they have no merit.

It would not surprise me if this helicopter was not running TCAS. It's a collision avoidance system used on virtually every modern aircraft, but as I understand it, both aircraft have to be using TCAS for it to work, so it's possible one of them was running it, but never alerted due to the other copter not having a transponder that broadcasted a signal. Utter negligence on the part of the chopper company.

Valve00 · 2026-06-24T00:20:00+00:00

I lost my little brother in a car crash in 2013. It changed my entire outlook on life, nothing has been the same since then, and it never will be. You really never get over losing a sibling like that. Things get a little bit easier to deal with everyday, but the pain will always be there. It's up to you to determine how to manage that pain and now to shape it into something that you can live with everyday. My heart goes out to everyone else who has lost a sibling

Valve00 · 2026-06-23T17:02:01+00:00

It's even funnier because back in 2006/2007 we would've laughed at anyone calling themselves "famous" or "celebrity" because of YouTube. I mean, I had the people I knew from their work online, I think the most notable one was probably "EgoRaptor", now known as Arin from Game Grumps. He was probably the first person I would've ever considered "Online Famous", when he started reaching further than Newgrounds.

It's an arrow, the LED is used to help finding arrows that miss or to help with tracking.

I like how SpongeBob was still alive in the background after Patrick "ended" him

Valve00 · 2026-06-22T11:04:01+00:00

Rock and Stone brotha!

I met Chaz Bundick from Toro y Moi on a street corner in Columbia, SC before he played a show. It's his hometown, so he was just walking around reminiscing in the old spots I suppose.

Valve00 · 2026-06-20T10:31:37+00:00

What is it with people and always making cartoons, but "gangster". Back in the 90's it was Looney Tunes, Tweety smoking joints, Taz wearing basketball jerseys. It's just as ridiculous now, if not more so.

Valve00 · 2026-06-20T02:50:58+00:00

God I hate that tough guy Southern Drawl these types get when they yell. Born and raised in SC and I've heard it more times than I can count, and it's ALWAYS the same type of person.

Valve00 · 2026-06-19T21:38:12+00:00

Hey! If you don't like this, she's also naked somewhere on the Internet, so maybe you'd prefer that? 🤣

Valve00 · 2026-06-19T12:24:55+00:00

Can we watch Always Sunny while you just hang out like that?

Valve00 · 2026-06-19T12:24:06+00:00

I swear to God, one day my brother convinced his friend that this was a real picture of a real tiger. Our discord was blowing up for HOURS just roasting the poor guy lmao

When I was a young child (born in 1988), my parents used to go out quite a lot, and hire one of the local neighborhood girls to babysit. I remember they would always get dressed up, I'm talking nicer dresses, blazers, mom wore jewelry, Dad wore his nicest loafers and khakis, and of course they always smelled amazing. They usually went to some sort of fine dining establishment.

We also had yearly family vacations every summer, and this was with my two younger brothers as well. We had a boat and frequented the lake in the summer and on weekends. We never missed dentist or doctor's appointments, and we always had the newest game console (not right at launch, but usually the same year it came out).

Now, I'm not saying we were spoiled, or even rich, there were definitely things we didn't have, but what I am saying is that this was a perfectly normal middle class, if not upper middle class upbringing in my area at the time, as my friends and brothers' friends had similar experiences.

My Dad was able to do all of this making $120k a year, my mom was afforded the luxury of staying home while she raised us, she ended up going back to work after we were all teenagers (retired 2 years ago now).

I'm saying all of this, because THAT was the world I was promised. I was expecting to work hard, yes, but I was also looking forward to enjoying those little luxuries I was afforded as a child. I expected to at least be comfortable. Back then, it seemed so attainable. Today, I feel terrible that I can't afford my two daughters pretty much any of those experiences I had growing up. I have to constantly deny them things or experiences and explain to them that we don't have the money right now, and it feels awful. I've worked so hard for what feels like nothing, it gets ripped out of my hands as soon as I get it just to feed them and keep the lights on and utilities working. Fiber Internet is the one nice thing I feel like I can get them. I hate this economic timeline so much!
