OH MY GOD YESSS

Cadillac is gonna have a friend!!!

[crimson bison]

speaking from personal experience

[crimson bison]

Fh6 gameplay trailer and f1 tractor reveal day (ferrari and alpine)

[oblique python]

[rich dagger]

W high shutter speed shot

[oblique python]

[oblique python]

yeahhhhh

oops

[rich dagger]

Trigger happy

[oblique python]

literally me

[elder dirge]

Beauty

[elder dirge]

14k?

[oblique python]

😄

[elder dirge]

I only have about under 5k if I'm doing racing photos

[oblique python]

i did 16k over three days

[elder dirge]

About just over 5000 for just photos

[oblique python]

and still have this weekend to shoot

[elder dirge]

I'd do that in a day if I had that storage

😭

[rich dagger]

I’ve never been out for a race for a whole day but i did like 1000 photos an hour

[elder dirge]

I try calming down a bit but gosh

I'll do easily 1000 in 30 minutes if there's enough action

😭

[oblique python]

the worst part is i felt like i was being reasonable and slightly holding back

[elder dirge]

I have no restrictions

[rich dagger]

gang what

[oblique python]

😭

[rich dagger]

Gonna be culling and editing until the 2027 rolex 24

[oblique python]

real

[elder dirge]

Ugh...

It's so weird hearing 2027

I don't believe it's next year

It sounds too futuristic

Anyway I went through photos I took (I'm still desperate to find an actually good photo that I've taken) and I think I found ok ones

I'm so proud of myself

Time to go through maybe 2400+ photos

[thorny sun]

Hi after quite some time

[rich dagger]

I was gonna say you haven’t been here in s bit

[thorny sun]

Well yeah

Nothing to take pictures of during winter

And nothing to talk about

[oblique python]

so many great photos man

[rich dagger]

W

[thorny sun]

Would love to see one of these in person

I did see this in august

And the ginetta something racers

[median swift]

We're getting some good looking cars this season

[spice sundial]

hows the panning improvement

[oblique python]

less than ideal

but not awful

mostly stayed above 1/160

but at 200-300mm that's ok

[spice sundial]

didnt want to miss anything huh

[oblique python]

yeah

would rather a slightly less streaky-background photo than nothing

i want to see how you guys would edit this

@tiny venture @rich dagger

this is what i came up with quickly but not sure if i'm 100% on board with it

[crimson bison]

what program do u use to edit it

[oblique python]

lrc

LE MANS MOVIE

[tiny venture]

I'll edit it when I get around to it
I miss my Lightroom

[crimson bison]

Throwback to september when I had the privilege of hearing the valkyrie irl

[crimson bison]

This was the weather 2 days before this cold and rainy race😭

[crimson bison]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DTyTqfBjPQa/?igsh=dTljcXJ2a3JsbTlp

[oblique python]

it sounds so good here in daytona

is that the WEC one with the exahaust, or the IMSA build without?

[crimson bison]

it was the lone star lemans in WEC

so muffled

all the gt3 cars were sooo quiet dude

[oblique python]

the IMSA cars here aren't, they're the full glory

[crimson bison]

lucky

[oblique python]

but even still, it's hard to make the valk sound bad

[crimson bison]

i haven't heard the acura hypercar

but my top 3 hypercars in terms of sound are

1. valkyrie
2. cadillac
3. alpine

the caddy rumbled my whole body dude

[oblique python]

yeah cadillac is impressive

[crimson bison]

what really sucked at lone star lemans

my dad couldnt handle the rain anymore cause he was dressed up for hot and dry weather so we left early

and RIGHT as we pulled onto the highway it got sunny

[oblique python]

💔

[crimson bison]

I'll definitely be going back this year

and with rain preperations

it rained 2025 and 2024

i made this dumb ass rain cover for my camera lol

[rich dagger]

Nice work, i’ll see what i can do

[crimson bison]

WHATSAPP CAR IS REAL

[lean cliff]

If you haven’t seen the two Audi lemans documentaries you should do so. Truth in 24

[tiny venture]

Cota has a dB limit doesn't it?

[oblique python]

night shots are hard

someone do something with this

[tiny venture]

I'm otw home I'll try something

I've never shot motorsport at night actually

[crimson bison]

for wec

110 for hyper 100 for gt3

wow

not like im hearing it anywhere else

[crimson bison]

hot

[tiny venture]

That's alot higher than you think

My local track is 90dB or something stupid

[oblique python]

110dB is loud

[tiny venture]

It is in the middle of a fucking housing area tho

[oblique python]

dB is a log scale, not linear

[tiny venture]

I'm aware

What was the Saturn 5
Like 145dB or smth

It was shattering windows like 20km away

[oblique python]

wouldn't be surprised yeah

[crimson bison]

Ive seen a saturn v irl before

when I was a kid

[tiny venture]

203-204 dB

[crimson bison]

there's a real saturn v at the houston space center

[oblique python]

...

insane

[crimson bison]

ah

i couldnt have heard a gt3 car next to a hypercar if i tried to

[tiny venture]

Seems like it was 120dB from 1.5 miles tho

I think it's a different measure

[crimson bison]

massive thing

they also have the 747 that carried the shuttle

[tiny venture]

I love the Saturn 5

Gorgeous piece of machinery

All designed and built without computer help

[oblique python]

someone say SCA?

[tiny venture]

Also fucking gorgeous

Makes me miss the an 225

[oblique python]

i'm so glad i got to see it flying in real life

[tiny venture]

225?

[oblique python]

no SCA

[tiny venture]

Stunning piece of machinery

[crimson bison]

at the space center

i got to spend the night there twice as a kid

[oblique python]

which # is that one?

[crimson bison]

no clue

i just know that thats there

[oblique python]

yeah

it's been a while since I've been to JSC

[tiny venture]

going through this now

fixed

[oblique python]

oh hell yeah

[tiny venture]

its a shame the cropping potential isnt really there so im not sure what to really do with teh drop but whatever

and im learning affinity rn so all the export settings are fucked up

ok there

fuck that white pole man

[oblique python]

lol

not really a fan of the aspect ratio nor the Michelin trailer being cut off if i'm honest

[tiny venture]

yeah i wasnt sure where to go with the crop

[oblique python]

when i shot this, i shot it with the michelin trailer in mind as a background

[tiny venture]

its quite far to the right so its not centered nicely on really anything

[oblique python]

yeah

overall i'm pretty happy with my edit

might remove that sign from the foreground

[tiny venture]

theyre really similar

[oblique python]

that pole is annoying but oh well

[tiny venture]

i added a bit more noise in mine

or a different type of noise

[oblique python]

nearly halfway there

[oblique python]

try your hand at this one now

[tiny venture]

this should fix the fuckass headlight

fuck the highlights we didnt need them anyway

[oblique python]

hahahaha

[tiny venture]

holy underexposed

[oblique python]

was worried about blowing highlights

can recover shadows pretty easily

[tiny venture]

yeah im loving these raws

z6iii goat

[oblique python]

z6iii is so good

did you see my low light test a few weeks ago

[tiny venture]

makes me look forward to a ff body even more

nah

[oblique python]

let me find that

[tiny venture]

i really dont know what to do from here tbh

[oblique python]

ISO 100 vs 25600 vs 25600 with 35 denoise and slight sharpening

[oblique python]

needs some more dehaze

[oblique python]

ISO 25600 in pitch black is plenty usable with some work

[tiny venture]

jesus

[tiny venture]

i havent figured that out on affinity yet

[oblique python]

PointAndLaugh

[tiny venture]

i cant wait till i get my adobe back with uni

oh shit i can get it now i think

muah haha

oh i used to pray for days like these

we are so back

[rich dagger]

damn i'm a mid asf editor icl

[rich dagger]

idk man i prefer a warmer tone

[rich dagger]

i need to do something about the flare from the huracan though

it's really distracting imo

[oblique python]

not bad but i don’t know if the overall picture is worth saving

so much headlight flare

[oblique python]

agreed

[rich dagger]

Honestly i think it’s workable

I got the huracan one mostly in control above

[oblique python]

yeah

can you throw a little more dehaze at it or is it cooked?

[rich dagger]

i probably could tbh

Let me see

[rich dagger]

honestly i think a wide crop with just the michelin could be good here

blue and yellow and all

i'm trying that right now

[oblique python]

just a wider aspect ratio you mean?

[rich dagger]

That’s what i meant yeah

Brains cooked

[oblique python]

yeah that would work

[rich dagger]

I was thinking xpan so i said pan

[oblique python]

lol

[tiny venture]

If you send some more through now I've got my presets back it should be way easier

[oblique python]

rip

already packed my laptop

leaving my hotel in orlando first thing in the morning to go back to the track

[rich dagger]

i think this is one of my more iffy edits

i don't know if the composition works with this crop

[oblique python]

yeah, i’d have left a bit more room at the top

interesting idea though

[rich dagger]

it's very tight at the top i agree

[oblique python]

(also i’m really good at shooting down ideas, don’t take anything i say personally)

[tiny venture]

my photos tend to be central crops ig

[rich dagger]

Nah it’s all good i’m just happy to play play around with these files

i think more space top and bottom is better

[oblique python]

i’ll send a bunch more files next week once i’m home

[tiny venture]

oh yeahh

[oblique python]

i’d personally add more space at the top, but at the very least make it straight 😭

it’s crooked

[rich dagger]

i was too lazy to make it straight to the degree lol, i just used the slider

[oblique python]

😭

[tiny venture]

heres a raw of mine to play around with

[rich dagger]

Lmfao i’m driving myself crazy in the crop rn there’s so many horizontal lines in the image i don’t know which to base the horizon off

[oblique python]

hahaha

[tiny venture]

me when whip pan doesnt work

[oblique python]

base it off the top of the trailer imo

not level, but accomplishes the purpose

[rich dagger]

this one's leveled-ish on the track

let me try from the trailer

this one should be level on the trailer

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-5905854439703930680

[tiny venture]

mm gold

[oblique python]

i like the direction of that

i’d add a little space on either side of the trailer to match the top

not a fan of how tight the edges are

[tiny venture]

not as bad as this one

[rich dagger]

i saw that issue too, i've been deciding between like 0.2 degrees for the last 5 minutes tho

[rich dagger]

having cropped out i now realise the issue

the two ends of the photo are somehow not parallel

[oblique python]

likely yeah

[tiny venture]

its a difficult photo to work with yeah

[oblique python]

probably wasn’t 100% square

[tiny venture]

i personally would just shove that into my 1 star folder and leave it for a rainy day

[rich dagger]

damn you guys actually use the stars?

[oblique python]

sometimes

[rich dagger]

i just make a mental note of which i like and export when i need

[tiny venture]

when im shooting yes

helps me know that i can just cull alot quicker

[rich dagger]

going from PS to LR is so relaxing lol

[tiny venture]

1- maybe i never used 2, 3-would edit, 4-edit quickly 5-post as soon to event as possible

[tiny venture]

no you cant

i have a preset dedicated towards the valkyrae tf

[oblique python]

i use stars but only in post, the only thing i do while shooting is protecting the good ones

[rich dagger]

oh wow i'm super active now

[tiny venture]

+rank

aw man

im so close to 50k

[rich dagger]

valkyrae or valkyrie, important difference 💀

[tiny venture]

then my color changes

[rich dagger]

fancy yeah

i need fancy

[tiny venture]

idk its spelt valkyrae in my presents lol

[rich dagger]

orange feels dirty

[oblique python]

it should

smelly sony shooter

[rich dagger]

valkyrae vs valkyrie

[tiny venture]

this is a nice raw if anyone wants to touch it 🥺

[rich dagger]

i got it open i've just been splitting hairs on the damn michelin photo

[tiny venture]

i didnt want white anyway

fucking shit ass 70-300

can i use your gm

[rich dagger]

you can borrow my 70-200 is ii

god forbid i'm ever in melbourne

[tiny venture]

ill do a backflip for you

theres no way you actually have one

[rich dagger]

most people choose thank you

[rich dagger]

i do, from an old 1dmkiv kit

from my dad i suppose

[tiny venture]

you cant even use it lol

[rich dagger]

he shot canon

[rich dagger]

i have an ef adapter lol

i could if i really wanted to

[tiny venture]

dont you have a gm

[rich dagger]

yeah that's why i say if i wanted to

[tiny venture]

gimme it

[rich dagger]

i got the gm in peparation to return the kit to my dad lmfao

[tiny venture]

ah

[rich dagger]

yeah

the ownership situation is a bit strange lol

[rich dagger]

yeah bro this is what true insta colour grading should be like

anyways, spekaing of the file you sent through

the 296 challenge is a really nice looking race car

[tiny venture]

its so pretty

[rich dagger]

considering the road car its based on is very pretty

[tiny venture]

that was i think my sharpest photo of the day

[rich dagger]

have you ever seen a 458 challenge?

[tiny venture]

this was my edit

[rich dagger]

yeah i fw the higher contrast

probably necessary from an overcast day

[tiny venture]

its sandown its always overcast

but yes hugely overcast

[rich dagger]

i always find it really hilarious that sandown is roughly shaped like the racecourse inside it

[tiny venture]

thats the idea

the track was built around the horse racing

[rich dagger]

yup

so that bogans could get an aftershow after losing all their money

in all seriousness i'm pretty sure they'd space out between horse racing and car racing

[tiny venture]

average 70-300 finding ca in any form of white edge

[rich dagger]

this is with clarity and dehaze cranked

[rich dagger]

just ouch

[crimson bison]

The lighting on the merc logo is sick

[rich dagger]

dehaze does some weird shit to exposure because most of the light in the photo is haze according to PS so i was just using clarity up to this point

[rich dagger]

fr

[rich dagger]

the background looks kinda cooked now tho oops

[oblique python]

could be worse i suppose

[rich dagger]

yeah it's a pretty difficult image

considering the light conditions

[oblique python]

yeah

[rich dagger]

shit photo but this was my favourite car out of all the challenge cars i saw

it sounds fuckin raw

there's no way around it

all the turbocharged challenge cars after it don't scream like it

like you can really hear a challenge car ofc

they have racing exhaust systems and all

but when that thing went by you felt it in the ground screaming

sadly these challenge cars are outdated and no longer able to seriously compete in ferrari challenge races

[tiny venture]

I want to go to a Ferrari challenge event so bad

[rich dagger]

they hold one at smsp

[tiny venture]

Lucky

They were meant to have one at Sandown this year but they cancelled it

[crimson bison]

I had no clue there was a 296 challenge

I thought it was yet to come out

[rich dagger]

Oof

[crimson bison]

Merc reveal

[thorny sun]

Decent purschase?

As a le mans fan

[twilit valve]

Rally Monte Carlo starts in like 10 minutes

[thorny sun]

24 hours of daytona this saturday

[rich dagger]

Oh shih that’s right

[oblique python]

can confirm

[thorny sun]

Guys

Fh6 will be so good

They are adding car meets

[elder dirge]

Better handling? Cars feeling different depending on power, weight, drivetrain and more? More sounds for the cars so they sound better?

Because fh5 cars sound the same, handle the exact same even if they are mr, fr, ff

[vagrant dew]

forza 6 trailer dropped

my favorite new things are wheel rotation past 180 degrees and the garages/house customization

[thorny sun]

I hope so

[elder dirge]

Oh my God it's fucking f122

It's house simulator casual game

With cars if you want I guess

[thorny sun]

Bro the ferrari 458 or what it was on the live sounded like a rs6 or something bro

It doesnt sound like a ferrari engine💔

More like a audi v8 than a ferrari

[elder dirge]

Every car sounds the same

Handles the same

And is the same

🥀

It is not realistic at all

[crimson bison]

after seeing that trailer and live playground games can have my firstborn child

[vagrant dew]

I agree sounds aren’t always the best with Forza

[vagrant dew]

That’s not the point of the game

And they definitely do not all handle the same although it’s not as significant as sims

this is casual ball knowledge

[elder dirge]

I tried the volkswagen golf ff

Handled just like an fr

[vagrant dew]

it is a simcade with 400+ cars it wont be perfect but the overall game is very enjoyable for a large player base

[rich dagger]

fh5 felt kinda bad

i prefer the balance of fun and realism in granturismo

both have trqash wheel support though

[vagrant dew]

it was bad

[vagrant dew]

I like the open world of Forza if I’m playing sim I’m going ACC or LMU

I like gt3s

[rich dagger]

I’d love an ope world gt

I can’t wait for asseto corsa evo to come to ps5

[vagrant dew]

the thing with ac tho is that its best for modding

but yes i am excited for the open world ac evo as well

[crimson bison]

Compared to what ive already seen from fh6 fh5 feels like a glorified tech demo

Fh6 is everything I wouldve wanted

No more shit forza aero!!! Theres finally new forza aero!!!

[rich dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/polevault-jump-buttsex-pain-trackandfeld-gif-12532893

Still completed the stage too

Came second

[elder dirge]

I've got a mclaren up my ass

Wanna see my ass

The word ass is so popular and so very good for the racing community

[lean cliff]

No bozo

[elder dirge]

My ass is in pain

The damn seats hurt my ass

[vagrant dew]

i agree, fh5 was the worst horizon game so far

[rich dagger]

tbh fh4 was my favourite

[vagrant dew]

real

[tiny venture]

real

i personally prefer fh3 but im a bit biased

[rich dagger]

Due to no particular reason

I should like fh3

But i just don’t

[tiny venture]

Why not

[rich dagger]

The map is very beautiful

But the roads didn’t feel as strong to drive

By strong i mean well designed

Personal preference tho

[elder dirge]

2027 is our year

[elder dirge]

I thought this was a gif

Fuck you

[lean cliff]

No they stopped to not go over the 15km limit

“A Ferrari spokesperson confirmed to The Race that it had “no issues” and the stoppage was needed because Ferrari is only using a ‘demonstration event’ to shake the car down and that limits it to just 15km of running.

This is different to a full filming day or ‘promotional event’ - which allows for 200km.”

At Fiorano, 15km equates to five laps. With Charles Leclerc getting two laps in the car shortly, Ferrari had to be strict with how much distance was covered initially to avoid breaching the limit.

[lean cliff]

Ahahah damn it

Guess things were going too well had to get rid of everyone’s hopium

[lean cliff]

I'm living vicariously through you don't let me down

[thorny sun]

[thorny sun]

Only some random folks

[thorny sun]

[lean cliff]

@thorny sun bozo

peacock stream has started so youtube probably has also

[thorny sun]

Understood

I cant watch it in my country on imsa

Ill try imsa.tv

Nothing on imsa.tv YET

Gotta wait

They cant be serious

Its not showing up on youtube not available in my country

[lean cliff]

[thorny sun]

Nor on the imsa.tv

It doesnt show up on imsa.tv for some reason

[oblique python]

well that was a start

[thorny sun]

Yea I wont be able to watch this

Ill just wait for nurburgring or le mans

[lean cliff]

iRacing ass start

[crimson bison]

tf happened

seriously

[lean cliff]

oof

[crimson bison]

i found another stream on yt but idk how delayed it is

the imsa website isnt working for me either

[lean cliff]

weird

[crimson bison]

i always thought porsche was withdrawing from hypercar everything

i didnt know they were still in imsa

what time left is the official stream at

god dude how long are the ad breaks

[lean cliff]

I can't remember how the Porsche 963 stuff is now I think they pulled out from WEC because it's too expensive. IMSA is probably cheaper to run in.

[crimson bison]

yeah thats why

wec is too expensive

their new stupid ev macan is a total failure and so theyre down on money

[lean cliff]

They always do this bullshit though

Disappear for a while, come back for a few years then disappear for a while.

[crimson bison]

audi should come back to wec💯

maybe if they do ok in f1

[lean cliff]

They have serious commitment issues. Are you that inept you don't plan for this financial burden years in advance or what.

[crimson bison]

they should have a 24hr race at cota

please

i wanna go to a nighttime race

[oblique python]

rip 🪦 no more scanner for me

[lean cliff]

[thorny sun]

Must be fun watching

I cant watch for some reason

And vpn aint free

[oblique python]

[thorny sun]

Yea I hate imsa youtube

They never let swedish people watch

Thats why 24h nurburgring and le mans is better

[lean cliff]

Ugly piece of shit

Driven by dumbfucks who can't drive

[hard ermine]

;-;

It's just an average car

[elder dirge]

It's a piece of shit

[hard ermine]

it's not that ugly....

[elder dirge]

It's ugly as fuck aswell

[hard ermine]

Don't say that

This car isn't beautiful but not ugly

[rich dagger]

Stronger feelinfs than i have about it

[elder dirge]

Equally as shit as the kia soul

[hard ermine]

And this car? What is your opinion about that

its a fiat stilo multi state wagon

[elder dirge]

Meh

Kinda ugly

Looks like a temu mercedes

[oblique python]

yeah definitely foggy here

hard to tell from photos

[rich dagger]

Broadcast is very foggy though yeah

[crimson bison]

how shitty

oooh mozilla has their own vpn to use with firefox

wtf bruh

its paid

[rich dagger]

Porsche 1-2 acura running respectably first

Fireworks in the misr is prettt cool

[crimson bison]

there we go i got a vpn

the fog is crazy woah

[crimson bison]

this is so fucking cool

[rich dagger]

fr

[crimson bison]

the 2nd image is insane

[rich dagger]

Christ daytona is massive

You don’t notice in the games

[oblique python]

it’s huge

[rich dagger]

fcy for god knows why

Even the brosdcast cameras are getting screwed by insane flares lol

[crimson bison]

it looks so cool

you know a cool looking race

2024 lemans

the weather

grey skies

[oblique python]

it’s awful

left the grandstands, going into the garage area for a bit and then going to get my big lens and do some on-track shots

looks like the fog might be slightly lifting for some reason?

doesn’t look quite as thick to me

actually never mind i take that back

[rich dagger]

Resume of green flag racing will be so fun to watch

[oblique python]

i’m just lower now

[rich dagger]

Battle for third is getting good i think

Deletraz got dropped wow

lmp2s going backwards very often it seems

[elder dirge]

Average bmw on the nords

[rich dagger]

I find these 2000s euros have excellent balance to slide

But the 458 is excellently balanced

Snap oversteer is a real pain on wheel in gt7 though

It just rips around violently

[elder dirge]

I'm figuring it out

It's not too hard in the rain

Just light throttle and turn

[crimson bison]

God tier marketplace pull

[elder dirge]

Dry it's a bit harder

[rich dagger]

Rain makes the snaps more gentle

[elder dirge]

Yoo no way

Imma cop it

[rich dagger]

But in the dry the weight transfer and change in grip happens much faster and more significantly

[elder dirge]

Yeah

Takes a bit to get used to

[rich dagger]

honestly i might need to turn down my ffb for now because the damn thing rips out of my hands on snaps sometimes

[elder dirge]

What wheel?

[rich dagger]

just 8nm gtdd pro

[elder dirge]

I use a logi max ffb, feels like pushing air

😂

[rich dagger]

but the shaking from how gt7 handless ffb is really psissing me off

[elder dirge]

Atleast it isn't as bad as acc

You can hear the shaking from 2 story's up with how violently it shakes

[rich dagger]

logitch dd?

[elder dirge]

G29

[rich dagger]

i see

dude i need some new racing peripherals

[crimson bison]

omg its snowing

[rich dagger]

my wheel's paddle shifters are dookie and unreliable

[crimson bison]

the roads are gonna be so icy tomorrow

i wanna slide my car

[rich dagger]

💀

drifting on gt7's snow map is insane

but you have to crank the wheel so much

feels like being a boat captain icl

maybe y ffb settgings

[rich dagger]

what di you drive qirtu

[crimson bison]

07 accord

[elder dirge]

The hell are you on

[elder dirge]

It's meh

[rich dagger]

it doesn't feel that different from dirt in game lol

but it looks cooler

[rich dagger]

idk on rwd cars you need a lot od steering angle to keep out of walls

[elder dirge]

How

It's so easy it's boring

[rich dagger]

idk gang skill issue

[elder dirge]

I hate doing the race for weeklys

So boring

[rich dagger]

i don't actually race on ice like that

[elder dirge]

You apparently do have one of those

[rich dagger]

it's fun being sideways as hell

but not fast

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-s-patrick-patrick-star-bottle-dumb-gif-1741625486363070335

Daytona lead is 6-7 fn

[elder dirge]

Awesome

[elder dirge]

R - O - O - T B - E - E - R

This is my fuel for daytona

[rich dagger]

I have one monster in me currently

Aiming to stay below 500mg of caffeine

[crimson bison]

I had 3 monsters from 8am-2am during lemans and I still fell asleep

If school wasnt still going I would do full daytona

But I got school on monday (maybe)

Gonna take me longer than that to recover from a all nighter tho

[rich dagger]

Mr commentator imsa dude bathurst is jot just out of the blue mountains 😭

I wanna be at the 12 hours tho

[oblique python]

I’m forced to do an all nighter

[elder dirge]

Oh makes sense

[rich dagger]

I missed my alarm and slep through the first quarter of the race

But i’m still sleep deprived lol

So i drank a monster to counter that

[elder dirge]

It was just lmp2s goofing off

[elder dirge]

Energy drinks are bad

[rich dagger]
