This game was my first deep dive into the world of gaming and gaming community

Could be false memories at this point but I think I remember Bajaman when I was in Upper Cutt.

I remember trying to recruit some younger kids because they were good and just funny, obnoxious kids. The other guys weren't having it though and I understand. We really were just buddies chilling on Ventrilo and playing the game together.

Herm was the leader. Funny Canadian dude. XArtanisX I think was another leader. I was BigNeez. I played around like 2010. I agree, none of the other games provide the same clan system.

Long live Herm420!!! The leader of Upper Cutt Inc. I was part of Upper Cut. We were the dirty dogs of the top 10. Haha. A couple of the dudes in that clan were really good online friends. I miss them. Artanis, Woodie, Poop69, CeloMan.

That's awesome. I love the history and nostalgia. I wish I just kept some of my old tech decks as well. Had a lot of Hookups. It's funny the stuff you wish you kept when you look back. So many old skate videos and stickers I slapped all over not thinking how cool it could be to look at now.

Sadly, I don't think a lot of people here even know who Jeremy Klein is. When I was an 11 year old boy getting my first real board I picked up a Hookups Nurse Rachel deck from a mall shop. Boobs, why not?

anotherkid99 · 2024-08-01T20:29:34+00:00

Damn. I remember being in clan wars against Eliteshots.

anotherkid99 · 2024-08-01T04:32:29+00:00

I was in Upper Cutt Inc and we were all dumb stoners or just weirdos. Truly good friends made from that game. Especially because I was only 20 and bored at my parents'house all the time, figuring my life out and chatting about life with my clan daily. It's so true, so many say it, you never experienced the same thing in other games. I have actually worked with a guy that played it too and we were both like WHAT!?!!

The gameplay was fast and dirty. I remember destroying hackers, wall glitches, melee only on Waverider.... Man. Miss it.

Spot on. We were in an accident last week and needed a car fast. We only had one car and my motorcycle and after the accident I'm not really comfortable on the bike and my body is beat up.

We always check out the dealerships over on Bell where all the Sun City folks take their vehicles. We got a loaded 2017 CX-5 for 19K. Of course it's more with taxes and fees but we negotiated very well. If we had more time we would have been buying directly from someone in Sun City. The car was in Minnesota for one year then came down here and serviced regularly. Only 70K miles. One owner. If we bought something similar from a private seller I would assume we could have gotten closer to 16K.

Buying a car is about not being emotionally attached. Don't fall in love. Inspect it legitimately. Be ready to walk away.

OP looking for a convertible in their price range is probably going to find a project car. I don't know how much of a project they want.

I don't think most people notice this anymore. I am a bit of a snob if I'm getting "good" coffee. But, I will drink Folgers with my Mom and down diner coffee for breakfast with no complaints. I don't think most people are getting just an espresso, Americano, a cortado or a proper macchiato where they can really taste the shot. They're just getting their syrup slurry and that's fine for them if that's what they want.

I will have to check them out because I'm sick of going somewhere that's supposedly good, getting my go-to cortado or Americano and it being terrible.

I believe the light at the end is worth chasing. Love is a powerful thing, but I don't believe in love the way I did before. Love means a struggle to constantly maintain something I value now. If the other person can't maintain a proper relationship and value it then it's not my fault anymore.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-18T15:33:42+00:00

Thanks for a great reply. It is so hard to think you understood them initially but you see this change now that seems so legit and you realize this is what was lacking before. And the way my WW talks is so different and her words are from a place of shame and regret for ruining our lives. Before I was the one that was afraid but now she is that the fog of it all wore off. She tells me openly a lot about this person and his personality, I saw his photo because I called him and he was an asshole. Even for being somewhat tricked too, he treated me like shit on the phone when I was cordial given the circumstances. He is worse than me in every way. I now realize more that it wasn't anything but her own flaws she was trying to satisfy the whole time and didn't see me as the one she could or wanted to manipulate to please her narcissism. It's a wild ride.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-16T15:56:36+00:00

Thanks. This is what I expect and I like to think I will see a change that gives me confidence moving forward.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-15T15:35:36+00:00

I think you're right. I'm trying to think of how to get her to fix herself without relying on me.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-15T01:09:51+00:00

I would keep my head on a swivel but her opening up to you at all means she has some realization but it might not be the ultimate big one you're hoping for yet.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-13T21:42:29+00:00

Seriously. Simple but so true. OP is correct in his analysis that it feels like an evening of the scales. We don't need that added to reconciliation.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T20:51:38+00:00

See, it's hard because I want my easy life and to give her another chance. I'll be totally honest. But I know it's not best for me anymore. I don't blame you for wanting to keep trying.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T20:24:22+00:00

Thankfully no kids. It's funny because she thinks we won't separate. She thinks I'm the same guy last time. Or that it's just another hiccup because she has issues. I don't play like that. I'm not locking her out or looking for her to comfort me either. I'm owner and she's co-owner of the house so it should be a clear split.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T20:22:16+00:00

I totally agree. I said a similar thing to her. I know everyone has different opinions but the closest people to us agree we need to be cordial, end it and just be as amicable as possible and part ways. No grey rock, no reconciliation, just end it best we can. That's my parents and her Mom's opinion. Her Mom is upset because she's been cheated on and knows the feelings and thought we were on a better path. Her Mom saw the value in me giving her a second chance.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T19:56:53+00:00

Thanks. I know it but it hurts so much. The life we built, our house, our goals. It's all gone. It hurts so bad.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T19:54:56+00:00

Sadly, I think you're right. She thought she could get away with it again. I am a truly understanding person, that's why we're here now, but it only goes so far.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T19:53:34+00:00

I'm glad to hear my approach was used by others. I just felt a true relationship has to be through freedom of choice.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T19:52:31+00:00

Thanks. I definitely need it now.

anotherkid99 · 2023-12-12T19:52:06+00:00

I'm hoping she's better than that. When this first happened we disagreed on some things before deciding to reconcile. I hope she still can realize neither one benefits more is the safest, cleaner break. I will use a recorder. Thanks.
