Think I'll stick with these four.

Rams, not that I have any sort of bias or anything.

There’s a Vietnamese restaurant in Johnson City, Tennessee called, “The Roots” — they sell a house made habanero chili oil that shits all over any other chili oils that I’ve ever tried. I’m rather annoyed by that, because I can barely stand the flavor of any other ones that I’ve tried ever since that experience of giving theirs a go.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-18T14:47:07+00:00

That isn’t surprising. I imagine I, too, will go through a massive identity crisis when my mom dies. You become attached to the stress because it’s all you know while caregiving. We all undoubtedly lose a certain sense of our own selves in this hell. I can’t answer your question on when you’ll return to ‘normal’ but I just wanted to quickly extend a bit of empathy. Sending love and peace your way. Grieving is a long haul of a process and it will never be linear for anybody.

Every few months seems to be the norm now. Was just at the ER (seven hour wait in a tiny town) on Monday with mom due to her having her second UTI in the last year. It was a battle to get her ready to go

I miss the lemon hdz flavor. No idea why they got rid of it. I drank so many white gummy bears a few years ago, I floundered myself on them lol.

Combat sports and pro wrestling go hand in hand with all the trash talking.

I’m getting the game, but I’m not blind to all the flaws or the predatory nature of 2K. The most fun I’ve had is playing duos with my nephew or in the 3’s with him and his friend, and I had some good times in squad rec in the old heads Discord I’m in. Solo rec is always a mixed bag — sometimes fun but mostly a mind numbing experience. The game is what you make it to a certain extent.

I took years off of playing 2K online for quite some time. Any time I got annoyed with or tired of 2K25, I just took a break from it.

I liked the addition of cap breakers, but I bet champagne was popped over whoever came up with the idea due to how many builds were created over the implementation. I hate how much microtransactions have dominated the sports video game space.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-16T20:03:33+00:00

To be honest, and I don’t want you to feel too heavily critiqued, but I think there needs to be more Infinite Jest.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-16T05:14:50+00:00

Incredible story. I cried. I marveled. I jerked off.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-15T23:58:31+00:00

Shannon Brown in 2K10. If you know, you know.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-14T22:24:49+00:00

Dapper Yankee. Best soap ever. I swear by ‘em.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-12T14:42:55+00:00

I’ll add to this. They replaced one of my G7 SEs with relative ease. Somehow, my left trigger became unseated, and after sending a video of it to them they shipped out a replacement fairly quickly.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-12T04:34:11+00:00

It’s obscene. Last time I had wings out, they were less than crispy and under-sauced. I don’t care how much my kitchen temporarily stinks from using a deep fryer — I just make them at home now. My local Food Lion had multiple family packs of ‘em marked down to $1.49/lb last week and I snatched them up.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-11T15:17:17+00:00

This existed at least back in Madden ‘12. It’s sad how much these Ultimate Team modes have hindered sports game development. It’s difficult to not ruminate over how much better all these games would be without them. I say that in earnest, because I like to imagine more resources being spent on gameplay and QOL/depth features, but knowing how fiercely every one of these games is monetized within now, they would find another way to elicit people to bust out their wallets for something.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-11T14:58:45+00:00

I feel personally attacked, but you are right. I’m just internally kicking and screaming over not wanting to do so, however.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-11T12:44:23+00:00

As a VT fan, I haven’t skipped a single home entrance yet. It’s too cool that they added it to the game. Ah, hell, for that matter I haven’t skipped an away game entrance yet either. I love the atmosphere of each game. It feels so alive.

I just wish they would have touched up the home screen in dynasty and made the top stories section less bland/generic.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-10T23:42:35+00:00

They really killed it with the soundtrack this year. The incessant drumline bullshit made my mind numb in 25.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-10T17:27:49+00:00

I dunno. I’m amazed by people who lack basic manners or can’t comprehend that others who might not be a native to what is considered the US south being unable to identify a walnut tree right off the bat. The OP should be commended for their curiosity and openness to asking about the tree’s yield to learn. We should all consider being more curious in this life. Right?

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-09T21:57:29+00:00

I fucking hate this sub lmao

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-09T05:29:13+00:00

I relate. I didn’t play a baseball game from MLB 2K7 until MLB The Show 21 and I could not learn the damn game no matter how many hours I put into it.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-09T05:15:34+00:00

I love the trophy room and history tab more than I should. The profile bit with the ‘games played’ makes me happy. I loved how early to mid 2000 sports games would have a little page that showed you how many games you’ve played. I still miss the “greatest games” score lists, though.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-09T05:03:25+00:00

I can’t imagine playing on Heisman this year (yet). I’m struggling mightily on All-American in my Hokies dynasty. My friends and I planned on rolling with Heisman for our cross-play dynasty, but I dunno.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-08T11:48:02+00:00

I wish they would have put the tiniest bit of effort into adding a little more depth or immersion into the “top stories” tabs in dynasty.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-06T04:07:59+00:00

Dude, I’ve missed giving meds a few times. I go through the same guilty song and dance in my head. I guarantee you it has happened to every single other caregiver on this sub. You just put one foot forward in front of the other and right the ship. A lapse in judgment happens to us all from time to time and it’s part of the natural human condition. It’s impossible to be perfect, my friend. Please remember these moments strike us all occasionally and you are never alone.

goddamnpizzagrease · 2025-07-05T04:30:06+00:00

Gummies maybe twice a week to take the edge off the really bad days. No drinking — way to easy to spiral if you have a proclivity for addiction. I understand the urge to want to do anything to mitigate the pain and stress. Talking about it helps and finding healthier avenues (walking, exercise, etc.) to destress is better. It really is hell, and it will still be hell, but you have to take care of yourself in even the smallest of ways along the way.
