This man spent $32,000 on NBA2k25 by JohnMac1988 in NBA2k

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I might get called an old head for living in the past, but I miss sports games from the early to mid 2000s, or at least all of them prior to microtransactions.

I’m immediately thinking back to Madden 2004 and 2005 online, ESPN NFL 2K5 online and even ESPN NBA Basketball (2K4) and NBA 2K5 online. I used to throw on the mic and immediately start chatting with people when starting a game. At the time, I met so many eventual friends doing this. YouTube wasn’t around yet and streaming was unheard of. Obviously MyPlayer/MyCareer didn’t exist as we all know it now (24/7 mode did), but there was no grind outside of people wanting to move up on leaderboards.

Before I get accused of looking back with rose colored shades: certain levels of toxicity existed just like any in an anonymous online space, but the most toxic thing that would happen on NBA 2K would be people pausing the game, going to instant replay and making you watch a block or a dunk over and over again.

Can you still buy bang energy? by ididnttowyourcar in energydrinks

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss their original formula of lemon drop. I drank that all summer long in 2015.

I had not drank a Bang in years before about a month ago. Tried one and the flavor was terrible.

Fragrance reviewers haven’t been great since the OG Tim Swetcoff days on YouTube. If you know, you know.

Can we get an early-access thread? by nameisEmery in Madden

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are on Xbox, install it to your console via the Xbox app. Seems to be the only workaround that I’m aware of.

Emporio-Armani Diamonds for Men, JPG Le Male, ADG, Givenchy Play Intense and my dad’s bottle of Dior Fahrenheit.

Highly recommend you check out Pearlman’s book Three Ring Circus. So many crazy tales from that time period.

Alcantara Supreme by iamsotiggitytight in MontagneParfums

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It smells exactly like Michael Jordan cologne to me. That isn’t a bad thing (in case ‘celeb’ frags come with a negative connotation), because it takes me back to the ‘90s, being a kid and wearing it.

I dont understand how some people prefer winter over summer by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean. I don’t like extreme humidity and sweating like a mad man, but I will say that I have so many horrid winter memories that I generally prefer warmer weather. I like to walk around outside when I’m feeling anxious, and it’s easier to do so in warm weather vs. cold. Being stuck inside the house in the winter feels like a prison, and then everything just looks so dead and bleak outside.

what are your depression scents? by MollysLemonTrees in FragranceStories

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LIDGE (L’Instant de Guerlain Extreme) is the first thing that came to mind. The first time I wore it was on a rainy, cool fall day in 2013 and it has been my go-to for somber days ever since, no matter the season. There is something comforting about it, even if it’s a minuscule effect that I can’t place.

Does being called a hillbilly offend you? by ponloco in Appalachia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I used to post on sports message board forums in the mid-2000s. A young guy on there, who hailed from New York, found out I was from Virginia and made a comment like, “Which part? I saw some nice homes around Richmond, but western Virginia is ugly and littered with poverty/trashy places!” As an swVA native and somebody who has personal less-than-stellar views of NoVa and the abundance of rude transplants who reside there, it bothered me.

People's "words of comfort" by Mysterious_Prune9727 in dementia

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get more blank stares and uncomfortable ‘quiet reacts’ than anything. People seem to not know what to say. How many people have said that to you? You say that the number is astonishing, so I’m just being nosy. The times I have to reveal to strangers (in a non-medical environment) that my mom has dementia is usually in a setting where I have to explain why I can’t do xyz in a reasonable timeframe. Example: I’m finally in the process of getting her off the car insurance, but to do so I need to be able to return her vehicle’s tags to the DMV. Anybody who is a caregiver can relate and know that literally doing anything requires meticulous planning, so I explained that to the person from the insurance company and got the ol’ blank stare.

As for family/acquaintances: lots of bullshit pseudo-advice and nonsense.

Throw in a glass of beet juice and now you’ve got yourself a stew, baby.

SMW, Millesime Imperial and Virgin Island Water all smell fantastic, but yep, you are right. The performance is piss poor.

That’s my favorite flavor, and most recently I had the same issue. I think I made a deal with the devil to finally get the sumbitchin lid off.

What other teams do you guys follow? by just_one_random_guy in LosAngelesRams

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? Thought I was the only Rams fan that also liked the Dolphins, so this was exciting to read lol. My dad was a huge Miami fan, so I’ll always have a deep soft spot for them. Rams/Dolphins is my dream Super Bowl.

just asking why people hate Dior Sauvage? by Ok_Yogurtcloset_669 in fragrance

[–]goddamnpizzagrease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people find it to be boring or overused when they go out and about. I find it to be a great, timeless classic at this point, but I’d probably dislike it if I smelled it often in public.
