  4. Stray...

    I have two hours in the game so far and I love it so much. I haven't even done much of the story because I spent so long exploring the first area.
  5. havent played a game ive genuinely enjoyed in a very long time. i'll come home from work and just sit and listen to music. so far this year ive listened to songs 24,900 different times. it's a lot compared to most people. something like 3500 songs listened to a month. i listen to music all day at work and then when i get home. whenever i can honestly. if i'm at my computer i'm listening to music because it's weird if i don't i dont like the silence unless im on my phone on my bed and even then i usually put on some music. here are my top 10 most listened to albums of the year so far: music is really the only thing lately that i have found joy in besides putting work into my own business. i started my business back in may and i'm getting closer to launching my first set of products and whatnot. ive been working on it in my free time and honestly i've just been lazy. also, shit is expensive. i dropped $1500 on a single heatpress and i still have to buy inventory. im going to (hopefully) make it all b ack but i dont mind if i dont because i just want to have something that i can call my own, ya know. i've been enjoying doing my own accounting, tax handling, inventory managing, all this shit. i love it. ive been doing 60 hour work weeks at work because we have a shit ton of things to do and i'm the only one. i dont have anything else to do so im not really complaining but it's tiring. by the time i get home i want to play games but i dont have the energy to and i dont really even want to. i picked up a book that i've had in my drawer for over a year. decided to finally read it. i've been trying to do one chapter a day but i usually knock out by 12 am. i pre-ordered stray whenever it was available to do so and i am extremely excited to play it when it comes out in a couple days. hopefully i can find as much enjoyment in stray and maybe other games as i find in music. maybe i'm playing the wrong games. who knows. thanks for reading
  6. i'll put on my jazz playlist and set the sleep timer to 5 minutes or til end of song

  8. Post Your Car!

    Hi. I ordered a spare ECU tune from SXTH Element on April 17th. I wrote extensively about it in this thread. It finally came in on June 23rd and I spared no time installing it. I got home and instantly ripped the box apart, took my old ecu out, and put this one in. I christened the car with a fresh tank of 93 and drove around for about 70 miles that night. It was very very very fun I think simply because it made the car feel so much more alive. I loved my car before the tune and it had its quirks but it's so much better with the tune. Around 3,000-4,000 RPM in 4th gear with my foot to the floor, it's like the tune overboosts the car and it just launches. I gotta set up my phone and OBD scanner to log some diagnostics one day. I have been having way too much fun and I'm surprised I haven't blown the car up yet. There are people who have driven on cars with SXTH Element tunes for well over 30k miles with a lot more complicated upgrades than mine. Stuffed turbos, Veloster N turbo swaps, some sketchy shit and they've had no issues. So I have no fears for the time being. With the tune I had the option of going with pops and bangs, pops and gurgles, or none. My car pre tune already gurgled a decent amount but rarely popped. I opted for the pops and gurgles because pops and bangs is ignorant. Not saying pops isn't ignorant because it absolutely is. I hate pop tunes but this is slowly growing on me. What I like is that if I'm just driving normally the car won't pop. It only pops if I let off the gas high up in the RPMs. I really really despise people in BMWs who are popping and farting at like 15mph. At this point, I have a couple thousands of dollars in mods and the car is exactly where I want it to be. Not sure exactly how much horsepower I'm pushing now but if I were to base it off of other people with very similar mods I'd say around 230-240. I think I might be a bit generous with that number but my butt dyno tells me around 230. 200 to 230 reliably isn't bad. Oh one more thing, I spent a couple hours yesterday installing a new Pierburg wastegate solenoid that will help eliminate fluttering and surging. It has been working pretty good. I took a couple of videos but it's kinda hard to convey the difference. I also really need to get an external microphone for my gopro but it's a bit expensive. I'm also going to suction cup my gopro near the exhaust some day for a vid of that. I think that's all I got to say about the tune. The next day after I put the new ECU in, I hit a gnarly pothole on the highway going around 70. I instantly knew I fucked something up because my steering wheel was cocked. I got to work and saw that my front left tire got a bubble in the sidewall. I got the tire replaced and an alignment but now it sounds like someone stuck a rubber duck in my suspension. I gotta get it fixed. Here's a list of what I've done to the car so far. SXTH Element Short Ram Intake SXTH Element Intercooler Resonator Delete Pipe SXTH Element Axleback Exhaust SXTH Element Oil Catch Can SXTH Element Tune Pierburg Wastegate Solenoid HKS M45XL As much as I love this car and after everything I've just said praising it, I'm already looking for my next. I always have been and I always will. I plan to keep this car for another year or two. I don't think I'll get bored of it any time soon but I would like to own a variety of cars. I'm still considering an Elantra N or Veloster N but I also have been looking at the new GR86 for the last couple of months. Besides the shit gas mileage it gets, I would love to own one. Especially in the red color that Toyota offers. Other than that I've been considering Golf GTIs or maybe a Golf R. At the top of my list currently is a 2018 WRX. The WRX is a car that I've always loves since a child up until now and I will definitely want to own one at some point. I like the look of the 2018 WRX and they're priced pretty fairly right now. I can go buy a base WRX for 25k right now. Maybe my mind will change in a year or two from now or maybe I'll hit it big with my business and I'll be able to just get a new car without replacing my current one
  9. no youre fine. you've been through enough with the car accident and all. i dont fault you one bit because you're a great guy and you have great intentions with everything you do. let's forget about this and move on with our night. do better
  10. bro i already said this word for word
  11. https://youtu.be/Uuv2u3aC2JE this is what people are scared of? with the way people have been acting you'd think that they stripped down and started fucking eachother on camera. tom brady literally kisses his son on the lips. dude french kisses his kids and no one cares. but this lady gives her wife or whoever it is a peck on the lips and everyone loses their mind.
