A little over one year later and I have an appointment set to get yet another tooth out of my skull 💀 I have a plan to protect the rest of them going forward though. The pain right now is mostly tolerable but it comes in waves. This one is much worse than the last though, damage-wise

I finally got my tooth extracted last night 🤕 never a fun experience! Whole side of my mouth is wrecked and super sore. But I'm glad it's done and I can move on with my life. Can't wait to start streaming again once I'm fully recovered!

I've only played 2 F1 games in my life, and both released pretty recently (22 and now 25) and every time I boot these games up I'm always impressed with the immersion and the production value. It's super cool how much the track and the garage feels so alive

Late night thought, but usually when I think of standalone games (non-mmo titles) that have received consistent dev support for a long time, I always think of GTA V. Then today I realized that Sims 4 came out in 2014(!) and still gets content updates and expansions regularly

Sorry to everyone, I've gone full hermit mode lately. Moving is stressful, and in some ways painful, and work has been crazy busy, and it's all sapped my energy these last couple of weeks. We're finally fully moved into our new place now but there's still so much unpacking to do..

Reminder that BeaterCore came out recently and it kinda rules - rally-style racing game driving shitboxes instead of performance focused rallycars. It apparently also has Steam Workshop support and people are already designing real cars and tracks store.steampowered.com/app/3711050/...

BeaterCore on Steam

beaterCore is an arcade racing game for those who prefer cheap rusty beaters over specialized sports cars. Buy, repair, restore, and race your dream project car

Woke up this morning to the difficult news about Andy Williams. One the biggest legends in the HX/metalcore scene. I got into ETID about 10 years ago and fell in love with this dudes riffs. This guy inspired me to make my own music and give learning guitar a solid chance.

Noticed these parodies of real world paint schemes in the GTA VI preview, looks like a (very loose) Monster Energy parody using the almost exact 54 JGR font, as well as an obvious reference to the mid-2000s Lowe's 48 car. Also I'm very excited for the circuit and street racing in this game wowowow

Was going through my chrome settings to look for something and saw this option, automatically enabled and all - had no idea it existed. I'm sure that the internet made a big stink of it at some point but yeah, here it is in case you weren't aware 🙃

Remember that while the leaks for GTA VI are "deserved" in the face of R* being shitty on a corporate level with the union busting and greediness, there are hundreds of devs seeing their HARD WORK exposed to the world with 0 pomp and circumstance, and that is something that shouldn't be celebrated

American Truck Sim road trip stream where chat causes changes the weather to rainy, slams the brakes, jerks my wheel to the left and causes a massive multicar pileup Would be a banger stream

One more year around the sun, lets see what 33 is all about :) Had a good day today, watched Your Name (again) with the wifey, had a good breakfast and lunch with her, then played games with her and our little gaming group (some Meccha and Tower Unite) and then streamed some SNES co-op with my sis!

Apartment showings while you still reside in the apartment are weird, I don't like random people walking through my living space and inspecting every room, checking closet and drawer space, etc. It is so uncomfortable lol
