[edgy ember]

This is not what I expected haha

[frozen cairn]

It ain't mayo if it ain't Hellman's.

[solar zodiac]

OMG it's a miracle!

[left silo]

skate 3 reference???????????????????

lowkey though? miricle whip is the coolest trick in the game to do. Fight me

[edgy ember]

I love mayo

[fringe plover]

I remember the time i was really proud of doing a miracle whip

took me like a month lmao

[edgy ember]

Flips were hard for me in the beginning

[tranquil summit]

Wait- u just made me realise miracle whip is a real thing (we don’t have it here) so I thought it was just some odd name 😭

[tranquil summit]

@solar zodiac oh here we go

[solar zodiac]

Have fun!

[tranquil summit]

thank you! also whats the difference between the og, and the GOTY edition?

[solar zodiac]

Honestly not sure. I think the Game of the Year addition might have some extras or included dlc

[tranquil summit]

uuuuuuuuu :O

[solar zodiac]

Oh yeah, it won game of the year lol

[tranquil summit]

oh wait, it remasters the graphics and adds 4 challenge maps according to google

[solar zodiac]

Well there you go!

[edgy ember]

Oh heck yeah. I've had the first installment downloaded on PC for months and haven't touched it

[rotund oasis]

The best Batman game next to Arkham City

[haughty quiver]

fun stuff

i beat it. fun game. last level, halloween was the best.

[tawdry helm]

nice!

[haughty quiver]

any other game recommends? im thinking about trying out the bioshock series on x360. is there any classic OG XBOX series tho?

[haughty quiver]

the last bart level, last 2 missions were so frustrating. with the villain car. i was getting angry

gives you just enough time if you have a perfect run.

[tawdry helm]

yeah

[normal hill]

If it ain’t miracle whip I don’t want it

Don’t be so mayo

[normal hill]

Hardcore mode is fun they said

[frozen cairn]

BioShock is DOPE.

Alan Wake & Alan Wake's Amereican Nightmare are great.

And for stupid explosions and Michael Bay action - Just Cause series (3 is fun fun)

[normal hill]

They gotta revert to the old design ngl

[haughty quiver]

i played all the just causes except for the first. thought about playing the first. but idk. buffy the vampire slayer has good reviews and so does manhunt. but i sorta really wanna play bioshock

[frozen cairn]

Definitely go for the BioShocks. They're great.

[haughty quiver]

wanna play alan wake series sometime though too.

[frozen cairn]

Very fun game. Little jumpscares and whatnot. COOL story.

[calm cliff]

i just saw brian_0 play buffy

and now i wanna give it a try

[frozen cairn]

And the Crysis series is on Backwards Compatible, if you want to play a shooter.

[haughty quiver]

seem like a good game?

[edgy ember]

How you doing Toasty?

[haughty quiver]

buffy also sells for a lot of money, surprisingly.

[haughty quiver]

im good. about to play bioshock probably. you?

[calm cliff]

yea looked like it could be fun

[edgy ember]

Oh heck yeah. I'm not bad. I'm about to watch Southpaw for the first time in a little bit. I wanna play BioShock. I've seen someone play through it before

[haughty quiver]

i have bioshock. just never played it. my brother loves the series

buffy is $150 sealed at a low price on xbox.

[frozen cairn]

$90 on Amazon

[haughty quiver]

guess ill start bioshock. i can play buffy and manhunt later too.

thanks @frozen cairn for the rec

[haughty quiver]

still too rich for my blood. lol. good for sealed tho

[calm cliff]

crazy

[rotund oasis]

Man, this is my childhood omg. The countless hour and the many times I have replayed this game dude...

[haughty quiver]

just beat it tonight. lol.

[rotund oasis]

What you think of it?

[haughty quiver]

first time playthrough too

its fun. frustrating af on some levels

[rotund oasis]

Mann, it is just so good. Maybe because its a nostalgic thing for me. It's been a long while since I've played

[haughty quiver]

i said i was good. but im actually sick with something. runny nose, head is super heavy

still good and whatever. but man.. its a weight.

[haughty quiver]

it is good. there is also a 'simpsons road rage'. but idk. sounds like crazy taxi in the description

[frozen cairn]

Simpsons Road Rage was such a jam.

[rotund oasis]

such a good game ! another classic

[rotund oasis]

yeahh that game is also fun

[edgy ember]

Damn. I wish you well man.

[edgy ember]

I think I've played it once or twice at a friend's place when I was really young

[haughty quiver]

i was gonna play road rage, but i just got done playing hit and run

im feeling like a shooter now, after playing all these driving games. lol

[haughty quiver]

its fine. its allergies or something. idk. just weighted

[haughty quiver]

man...

[edgy ember]

So sick

[edgy ember]

Relate

[edgy ember]

I'd be the same way

[haughty quiver]

i feel like its gonna take me forever to complete bioshock. im exploring every part of the levels

has anyone else found that the tyson chicken nuggets are getting smaller? i can fit more on a pan compared to a couple months ago

[edgy ember]

Wouldn't be surprised

[haughty quiver]

i sorta am. because it should still weigh the same

[edgy ember]

With or without the bag?

[haughty quiver]

idk. the bag says 4lbs

the past 2 bags ive bought tho.. its just small nuggets. it used to be that i would find a few small nuggets in a bag. now its like the whole bag

i could fit 40 nuggets on a pan. now its like.. 55

[feral pine]

the more the merrier tho, right?

[haughty quiver]

yea. if theres actually more nuggets in the bag. but i havent counted, so idk. but if i cook them for the same length of time as before.. it overcooks them, so i gotta keep an eye on it

i like them crispy.

[feral pine]

i need to get this

never played it, looks so fun

[haughty quiver]

check the prices on ebay. lol

i just did a quick search.. and wow

[feral pine]

i have the game, i just need to get it working

xbox 360 problem

[haughty quiver]

ah. does it not work on x360?

[feral pine]

it is meant to, ive seen a few posts about it

[haughty quiver]

i played it on the original xbox

[feral pine]

theres a thing i need to do but to keep myself safe im not gonna mention it

[haughty quiver]

ah. i see.

i just looked up prices of the og xbox.. and man.. everything really has went up.

[feral pine]

man i dont even wanna imagine how much one would cost nowadays

[haughty quiver]

i could get an og xbox for under $50 just a couple years ago

i actually bought 2 extra ones because they were cheap

[feral pine]

damn, lucky

[haughty quiver]

now its like $70 +$20 shipping. crazy

its funny. a lot of the ones im seeing have disc trays that wont eject. easy fix. og xbox's are usually easy fixes except for video ports, gpu, cpu related stuff. the clock capacitor blows/leaks these days, because of how old it is. so its always good just to remove those. you dont even have to replace them

[haughty quiver]

one of them was an actual OG. like.. the first version to come out. and it came with a totally different power plug. i got the OG component cables with an optical audio plug too. i have an hdmi port/ internal chip for it too, but ive been too scared to install it. i also have an adapter that lets you use wireless xbox one controllers on it.

[frozen cairn]

The bag weighs the same - regardless of the nugget size. 4lbs = 4lbs whether you get fewer but larger nugs or smaller but more (count).

I just buy the Appeteasers (popcorn chicken nuggets) and call it a day.

[solar zodiac]

Yeah but how much of that 4lbs is meat compared to the past. Smaller nuggies means more breading to cover around it

[haughty quiver]

i assume that 4lb still equals 4lb. but i feel like... its more breading.

less meat.. more breading

[solar zodiac]

4lbs of what is always the question.
I don't like buying Tyson brand chicken breasts because of how much they shrink when cooking. So much water/solution injected making them look fuller. Take them out of the oven and you have half the meat there

[haughty quiver]

they shrink more now. tyson is the best flavor ive found when it comes to oven cooked nuggets. they actually look good when taken out of the oven, but then when they cool.. they shrink so much

[haughty quiver]

its sorta crazy. you would think it would be cheaper without adding all of the ingredients.

but it would be better if the ingredients were never added

[solar zodiac]

But you can make more money not passing off the cost savings to the customer

[frozen cairn]

I don’t fry stuff, which is the only reason I buy the nugs.

If I had a fryer (or the will to deal with used cooking oil) I’d probably make Nashville nugs weekly, fried chicken, and fresh breast garlic parm nugs with a truffle aioli.

(I use an air fryer or the air fryer in my oven to cook the nugs)

[haughty quiver]

certainly.. the extra ingredients cost more money. why not just remove the extras?

[frozen cairn]

Facts

But I like delicious things.

Hahaha

I’m about to grill some chicken breasts and slice them to go with a 3 cheese carbonara sauce I just made on a bed of linguine with some homegrown basil to garnish.

Delicious things.

True

[haughty quiver]

straight plain chicken breasts, grilled. and adding your own ingredients is way better

[frozen cairn]

Definitely.

[timber depot]

https://tenor.com/view/mirror-looking-good-come-gif-13594269

[little dagger]

is it just me or does anybody air fry their bread to make toast

[solar zodiac]

Hadn't even crossed my mind to try it. How do you do it?

[fierce apex]

you would just put the bread in the holder and then heat it

[solar zodiac]

How long, what temp, let the air fryer preheat or not, I have questions!

[fierce apex]

i also kinda do

i guess just test

[frozen cairn]

350-375° for 2-3 minutes.

[solar zodiac]

How does it do compared to a toaster?

[normal hill]

Slammed into Joe Biden npc

[normal hill]

My air fryer sucks

I burned my pizza I followed the directions also

[cosmic spire]

Oops…

I have a problem methinks

[timber depot]

nah it’s eatable

[edgy ember]

wym

[cosmic spire]

I buy way too many shoes for my own good lol

That’s the problem 😂

[edgy ember]

Sell em

[cosmic spire]

That’s the plan

They look super nice tho

[haughty quiver]

I was talking about companies that process the food and add a bunch of ingredients. lol. It would be healthier and would seem like it would be cheaper for the company to use less.

[solar zodiac]

Reminds me of the guy that did the videos about how much saw dust you can add to a rice crispy treat before noticing 😂

[haughty quiver]

I seen some things comparing ingredients in American processed foods vs other countries. America has way more things added to our foods

[haughty quiver]

lol. I bet it's more than people would think.

[solar zodiac]

Found it!
https://youtu.be/AKDal51f5LU?si=EaOA1cJyOwI8u29Y

[haughty quiver]

Anything past 33%. lol

[edgy ember]

I love this video

[haughty quiver]

I seen something one time a long time ago that said products like cereal, oatmeal, wheat products are allowed to certain percentage of contaminants like bug parts or whatever to be processed inside the food.

[edgy ember]

As long as it isn't harmful, I believe it's fine

Bugs are edible

[haughty quiver]

but there's also this

[edgy ember]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-just-nasty-will-smith-men-in-black-close-bye-gif-17648930

[feral pine]

yum

[solar zodiac]

I can understand seeing how everything is harvested in one big swoop and sorting isn't a perfect science. But it's still not fun to think about

[feral pine]

bit of protein as i like to say

[haughty quiver]

Yea. There's rats in those fields. Can't separate everything

[solar zodiac]

But your comments earlier remind me a lot of my confusion when looking at leather vs faux leather.
Real leather is so much more expensive than fake leather. I get that to have quality workable leather it takes time and a special process, but fake leather is nothing but plastics (PVC/Polyurethane) which takes a bunch of chemistry to get right and needs to be applied to a base fabric which most of the time is synthetic, polyester (PET) which also takes a whole plastic making process to create and melt down into thin fiber strands to weave.
Not to mention fake leather breaks apart and flakes off after a few years...

Seems like real leather would just be easier to deal with once you go through all of that.
But somehow this whole plastic making process in a lab has become cheaper

[idle mantle]

Eh everyone buys too much of something tbh I only buy like a new pair of shoes once a year

[fierce apex]

@frozen cairn how does these people get hacked

[fierce apex]

i think he forgot his dementia pills

[wary harbor]

i know its like the 2nd or 3rd time but wtf

but free puff is crazy

[normal hill]

I think i mastered a speed glitch

[haughty quiver]

just beat bioshock. its good

a short little edit i made of my best friend.
had to lower the quality to fit discord limits.
enjoy

[haughty quiver]

you mightve already seen it. what you think @edgy ember ?

[quartz copper]

This is sick man!

[quartz copper]

Bioshock 1 is definitely in my top ten games of all time. I love that game so much. Can be painfully difficult sometimes when you don’t have ammo though haha

[haughty quiver]

i basically ran through the last level. and then when i got the big daddy costume, i went and saved all the girls, and stocked up as much as i could.

[haughty quiver]

i think so too. when you look at what hes doing, and then try to think about doing it IRL.. its sick

[edgy ember]

I havent before but I have now. I've seen some clips before. This is awesome! Did he ever go pro?

[haughty quiver]

most was sponsored by a skateshop in jersey. i still have his wallet and sponsor card he left at my house. lol. i always tried to push him to really go further. but sometimes.. talent just gets ignored. sad.

[haughty quiver]

@edgy ember

[edgy ember]

That's sick

[edgy ember]

Yeah. Let's hope he doesn't regret not continuing in the future

[haughty quiver]

its a cool wallet, right? lol

[edgy ember]

I fear a life full of regret. I don't want that

[edgy ember]

Oh yeah. That's rad

But hey @haughty quiver I've been working at this challenge I set in my mind in Skate 1 and I've about completed it. Imma dm you some pics of the challenge

[haughty quiver]

send it

its funny.. he went to be a car salesman or whatever. (these clips are maybe 3 years old.) and the old local skateshop owner went to insurance sales. (he was gonna rent to the skateshop to me before some motorbikers bought it and turned it into a garage.) a lot of skaters i know went into insurance or car sales

[edgy ember]

Damn. I have a thriving local scene. I know a few guys but I don't go out with them. I don't skate much irl anymore

[haughty quiver]

this skateshop was directly across from the police department. lol.

[edgy ember]

Oh wow. That's ironic

[haughty quiver]

their bike cops are on another level. theyd come riding down the alley not even holding the handle bars. just straight chillin

[edgy ember]

I sent a pic and a description of the challenge I made for myself. I just had my closest attempt and I'm thinking it's possible

[edgy ember]

Haha. I love that

[haughty quiver]

have you ever seen it? its crazy to witness.

[normal hill]

I no joke wanna skate my parking garage like in skate 3

But during the night cause no cars

[edgy ember]

Nope. I don't see many bike cops. I've probably seen one in the last few months and ironically he pulled me and my friend over

[normal hill]

Security finna chase me

[edgy ember]

That's if they can finish their donut first

[normal hill]

If they can even run with donuts in they system

That coffee could give them a boost but I doubt it

[edgy ember]

The royal dukes boutta hit em after all them donuts

[haughty quiver]

our bike cops only patrol the skatepark to make sure everyone is wearing their helmets and pads. they had no real authority over the skateshop parking lot.

[normal hill]

I could just call someone to get the guards away

[normal hill]

Ngl I’ve never gotten stopped by a bike police officer

I don’t have bike patrol where I live

I have a bike so it would be a race to see who’s got the fastest pedaling skills

[edgy ember]

Respect. He only pulled us over because my friend was over the speed limit a little in a work zone. We didn't even notice.

[normal hill]

I love this backpack

Didn’t know it was even meant for skateboards

Doesn’t fit a longboard tho

[haughty quiver]

ive got 2 tickets for skating the park. the first was 'without real kneepads'. $120.
the second.. i wasnt even skating. they 'thought' they seen me skating without pads. all my friends stuck up for me, because i was the ONLY one obeying the rules (cause i didnt want another $120 ticket). judge removed that one

[normal hill]

Lowkey fits

[solar zodiac]

I got yelled at and stopped by a moped security guy on vacation for skating on an empty sidewalk

[normal hill]

Don’t they got better things to do than get mad over knee pads

[edgy ember]

So commuting on public property?

[edgy ember]

Dayum. And I haven't ever been pulled over while driving yet

[normal hill]

Im thinking about getting a bigger size deck

[haughty quiver]

my younger friends got a ticket for playing TECH DECKS at the park without pads. because our bike cop is just like that. judge threw that out too

[solar zodiac]

It was an open air mall type deal and I was clearly shopping around. Told me I had to ride in the street where all the cars were

[edgy ember]

I think you told that one before. It sounds familiar. Jeez. He sounds a little uptight

[normal hill]

Bruh they got mad over toys

[haughty quiver]

because its true! ive told this story like a million times. lol. its ridiculous

[edgy ember]

How dare you not wear pads while playing with tech decks

[solar zodiac]

I told him sure, I'll gladly get run over and hopped the curb into traffic while fighting the urge to laugh at the ridiculous set up he had

[edgy ember]

This dude is just not coolio in my book

[normal hill]

Don’t you know that your knees are very sensitive young man
Put on knee pads

This is why I ride a bike everywhere

[edgy ember]

For real. Can't risk someone running into me while I got the tech decks out. They might break my knee caps

[normal hill]

They don’t hassle me over knee pads

[edgy ember]

@haughty quiver I sent the vid btw

[normal hill]

But when actual crime goes down they don’t do a thing

[solar zodiac]

Wait, what are not real kneepads?

[haughty quiver]

there really is nothing to worry about in this town. lol. its a good thing theres no serious crime.. but man.. leave the skater kids alone.

[normal hill]

Walmart ones

[normal hill]

Bro lives in San vanelona

They really tryna stop skaters

[haughty quiver]

i cut up some colored socks. and wore them as kneepads. hoping they wouldnt be noticeable from the road where the cops are driving

[solar zodiac]

Bro

[normal hill]

I can’t even skate where I live cause of potholes

[solar zodiac]

I didn't know what to expect but that wasn't it XD

[normal hill]

I hit a divot and I’m gone

[haughty quiver]

you gotta understand. these were pure black socks with bright blue heel patches. they look like kneepads from a distance

[solar zodiac]

Idk, to me that counts as soft pads and are fine lol

[normal hill]

Literally what my streets look like

[normal hill]

I hit that and my feet are gonna be in the air

I find it funny the officer got mad over toy finger boards

Those donuts from Dunkin gotta have different sugar in them

[haughty quiver]

he was after those boys. he would get them whenever he got the chance.

[normal hill]

Good thing I pedal like my life depends on it

That’s why I have a bike

[normal hill]

Bro finna be out of breath in 2 steps

[haughty quiver]

we got potholes too. a lot of our concrete here is really rocky. so you dont even wanna try it, because as soon as you land.. your board gonna come to complete stop.

[normal hill]

I wonder how old this bag is

I’ve been using this bag to carry my bike lock

[haughty quiver]

idk. volcom..

[normal hill]

My skate park is so depressing bro

[haughty quiver]

@solar zodiac what you think of my dude?

[haughty quiver]

post a pic

[normal hill]

like wtf is this

[haughty quiver]

is this it?

[haughty quiver]

this a good park to practice manuals and grinds

[normal hill]

It used to have ramps I think

[normal hill]

I want one with a bowl ngl

[haughty quiver]

im opposite. im not a bowl person. i like street

[solar zodiac]

Ayyyy nice! Y'all have some fun spots

[normal hill]

We used to have this

[haughty quiver]

this isnt where i live. this is more in the city nearby.

[solar zodiac]

Nearby counts to me

[normal hill]

My downtown area has trails that could be good for death races

When you leave the Xbox to wash dishes

[haughty quiver]

heres my laptop bag

[normal hill]

I don’t know cause it’s covered in every skate brand out there

Duuude that looks amazing

[haughty quiver]

It's a hard shell. Left over from the IT guys in an old warehouse building

[edgy ember]

That's rad! I thought it was hard

[normal hill]

I wonder if T-Mobile will sponsor skate

Again

[normal hill]

Finally landed the big stair

[haughty quiver]

idk how you guys get those speed glitches so easy

[edgy ember]

Doing it so much and slowly dialing in the timing, then doing the correct timing thousands of times

[haughty quiver]

still takes me multiple tries for every glitch i know, no matter how many times ive done it. the launch glitch is almost never first try. so is the insane speed glitch

[edgy ember]

I usually get the backwards man pretty quick. Usually 1 or 2 tries. I remember not being able to do it for years, then one day it just clicked

[normal hill]

This guy needs to come back

[edgy ember]

Hey I think I know him from somewhere

DeadSpace right?

[normal hill]

Yeah he was the sports coach

git git yeah

[haughty quiver]

i knew better, but i did it anyway. i started replaying the first 'Sims' on OG Xbox. sims is too addicting. but Sims 4 needs better console controller adapting. feels like its made for PC and controller on a console was an afterthought.

sims 4 is fun. but playing on console feels like a chore when youre just starting out. it feels sorta like playing roblox on a console, where you have to just press buttons to figure out what they do.

[frozen cairn]

You should be able to connect a USB mouse and keyboard (Xbox) I think, but I don’t know if the keybinding options are switchable to that setup.

[haughty quiver]

never tried that. didnt know it was that easy. my wife wanted to play some sims and i just passed her the controller. and she was trying to figure everything out

i thought id need some sort of adapter to use keyboard and mouse on an xbox

[rotund oasis]

im pretty sure u can just plug in a usb into the xbox and it will work. I've done it a couple years ago on a different game

[frozen cairn]

Especially the Series ones.

[rotund oasis]

I didn't know that actually. I wonder why they got rid of it

[haughty quiver]

Crazy. I'm gonna have to try it soon. I've never tried it. Just straight used the controller on every console game.

[left silo]

People use keyboard and mouse on games that are meant to be platform locked so it’s an even playing field. That’s why people bought adapters(I don’t think they work anymore) and it should still work on games like sims.

[oblique oracle]

@craggy jetty check private message

[mint solar]

I know this isn’t skating related, but i wanted to show ya’ll the card I pulled last night from my first ever tcg pack I’ve ever opened.

[timber depot]

yo that’s joe

[normal hill]

Some games work good with keyboard and mouse

Minecraft and Microsoft flight sim work with it

[haughty quiver]

Nice.

Everyone knew about keyboard/ mouse on Xbox except me. lol

[frozen cairn]

Gonna have to revoke your Xbox card, Toasty. Sorry, mate.

[feral pine]

What happened to the first one?

[timber depot]

it’s still on

[forest wraith]

Got an ad for this on instagram. The ripped jeans of shoes.

My vans look like this a month into usage

[edgy ember]

These look like someones been skating them for 3 days then decided to add the duct tape a little early

[forest wraith]

lol

[normal hill]

they shoulda called these the vans poormans

this is the shoe id wear

basketball and skating

[still nacelle]

...I'll never understand the shoe market, to be honest.

[edgy ember]

Me either

[still nacelle]

like, why is this $133

i could make something very similar for the price of whatever checkerboard slip-on vans normally cost + some duct tape, which wouldn't be this much.

[edgy ember]

Scammers and scalpers

[edgy ember]

I wonder how people are gonna legit check those 😂

[still nacelle]

okay

so you can get checkerboard slip-on vans for $60.

scuff them up and put duct tape on them and sell 'em for over $130. That's $70 profit right there.

[frozen cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/smart-brain-gif-24918687

I turned my checkered laced Vans into slip-ons with elastic laces. BEST INVENTION EVER.

[timber depot]

proof or it didn’t happen

[frozen cairn]

The person calling for proof should be obligated to prove the opposite.
So YOU prove I didn't. 😛

[timber depot]

😰

[timber depot]

i thought it would look like the slip-on model

but u just slips your feets on looks like 🦶

[frozen cairn]

Yep. The laces are elastic, so they hold tight, but can stretch.

[rotund oasis]

Ngl this is sick

[fierce apex]

those shoes are fire

[edgy ember]

How?

I genuinely don't get it

[rotund oasis]

Because it’s a nice homage to skating. How people would glue or tape their shoes because of the holes made

Because of that. It became in a way, stylistic to have some level of destruction on clothes and shoes

[rotund oasis]

From the tag in the shoe and the box. It’s just a fashion piece. Not a usable skating shoe in a way. The release was $70 like the standard vans. Resell isn’t really much either since StockX isn’t reliable

[edgy ember]

That's just weird

[rotund oasis]

That’s just skating. Grip tape will damage your shoes

[edgy ember]

Not the skating part. The paying $70 for an "homage" when I could just go wreck a pair of Vans and tape them up the same for cheaper

[rotund oasis]

Well the materials are actually a lot stronger and better. It is also a collaboration piece with a Taiwanese brand called Invincible.

It’s mainly for shoe collectors and fans of the brand that collabed with Vans on the shoe. Regardless, I think it’s super cool. It’s a good pieces of art

[haughty quiver]

I used to wrap duct tape around my shoes because of holes. Not slip ons, but other skate shoes

Never put tape on the heel tho. lol

[solar zodiac]

I found another use for the ventilation holes in my gloves.
I'm not gonna fail because I was told to go one way and I'm directionally challenged

[timber depot]

where’s the middle one oO

[edgy ember]

That's fair I guess. I used to be into sneakers but not anymore. I may get a pair of black and white Dunk SBs though for daily wear

Hey Jeff, I know you are going to Warped as well and I got confirmation Steve Caballero will be skating at the vert ramp for all shows. Hoping for some vert beasts like Jimmy Wilkins as well

[frozen cairn]

The Cab! Dope!

[autumn hawk]

I ain't jeff but that cool

X-Files movie theater poster I thrifted today. From 1997

[red sierra]

Hello, I would like to ask when EA will finally release the global version of Need for Speed Mobile, which has already been released in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau. Thank you for your answer.

[frozen cairn]

This is the skate. server. Not sure what's going on with NFSMobile. There is a server where you can keep up with info as they share it.
https://discord.com/invite/needforspeedmobile

[cosmic spire]

Late night ebay find

[red sierra]

@frozen cairn I'm banned there and I'd like to be unbanned there but I don't know who to write to if I can't get in there

[frozen cairn]

Well, this isn't the place for that. If banned, you would've received a DM with more info. There's nothing we can do here.

[red sierra]

There will be skate on mobile too

[frozen cairn]

yes, the team is developing skate. for console, PC, and mobile.

[edgy ember]

Those are very ugly to me

[haughty quiver]

also not a fan of the color scheme

[edgy ember]

Looks like someone vomited in a wheat field

[cosmic spire]

Either all, I didn’t mind the work boot sorta theme it was going for
And I could probably flip them if I didn’t like them in person

[edgy ember]

I'd rather have work boots tbh

[cosmic spire]

That’s true

[haughty quiver]

I just don't like camouflage colors.

[edgy ember]

By now, I'm more for black or white or both together

[haughty quiver]

I like red and white for a lot. Or orange and black like the etnies skate 2 shoes. I just wish these were suede like my old black and white pair with peanut butter gums. These are canvas.

These are my old suedes

[edgy ember]

Solid

[haughty quiver]

Really good. Lasted forever. The bottom bubbled up and blew out before there were any holes. The canvas ones feel like they'll rip easy

[edgy ember]

Shrinkflation at it's finest

[haughty quiver]

the canvas came out before all the shrinkflation. lol. idk what made them change. these are old shoes

[edgy ember]

Ah. I thought you meant the canvas was a recent chamge

[haughty quiver]

nah. Those red and white ones are already old. The suede janoskis are way better.

@tepid girder idk if it's okay to just chat in the skate-clips. But yea.. I seen you bailed right there. It (might) work. I can try it out one day.

Still cool that you were able to make it over. Definitely wanna try something

[tepid girder]

The first issue I got is trying to get over the SUMP sign and to the other side, the ramp that I use the launch glitch for goes into the ground and you can’t launch to the other side

[tepid girder]

(Where I lined up the backwards man)

[haughty quiver]

I feel like.. I'm gonna try this a while.. finally land in the slope.. and still bail. Then I have to set something to land into 😭

My luck be like that

[tepid girder]

That was my biggest fear when doing this, I tried for so long just to land on the roof and get respawned

[haughty quiver]

Yea. The roof is automatic respawn.

[edgy ember]

You may need to land on the rail into a grind

Kind of like when you jump off MegaPark mountain and land in the grind and live

[tepid girder]

Maybe a darkcatch cuz they’re so broken

[edgy ember]

Ooh good idea

[tepid girder]

Btw I have another weird clip I got, I’ll put it in skate-clips

[edgy ember]

💯
Probably something to do with speed and the angle at which your body is going when landing on the rail

[haughty quiver]

ive landed into this rail from this drop. rails just work sometimes no matter the height.

[edgy ember]

Holy moly

[haughty quiver]

ive landed into the rail.. but it always throws me off, surprises me. so ive never actually popped off and landed it.

[edgy ember]

Huh

[uneven wigeon]

dunno if its just me but this video freezes at the end

[haughty quiver]

Froze it to show the rail

[haughty quiver]

My dog is sick and it's freaking me out. I went to the vet at the very first sign, and they gave me some medicines for nausea and pain.. because she's been vomiting and shaking and weak. They said everything's normal, but I hate this. I hope she feels better soon.

Not parvo. They didn't have to tell me that. I've been around parvo, and that is horrible to be around. They also said she weighs 85 pounds! Her ideal weight is 60. Told me I should feed her 2 cups of my brand dog food.. twice a day.. to lose weight. Said I would 'be surprised at how much I feed her when I actually measured'. I measured when I got home.. and I feed her 2 cups of dog food only once a day. Wtf.

[edgy ember]

I hope she gets better. She's a sweety

[haughty quiver]

That's what they say everytime she goes for checkups. lol. She is sweet. But I'm a nervous wreck when something happens.

So I just sit here on the couch and watch her like a hawk. Can't even play games. So I come to discord

[edgy ember]

I understand that. When I get bad news I kinda just sit there doing nothing

[frozen cairn]

Kuma had a tooth extraction on Monday (like father like pup, I suppose) and he's on pain meds and antibiotics.
It's a stressful time with the furbabies, brother - I feel you. They can't TELL us what's wrong, so we just sit and worry.

Also, 85lbs!?!? She Thiccc.

Give her skritches and kisses from the skate. community for us, yeah? @haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]

speaking of teeth.. one time.. i left mine at home in a crate. she broke one of her canines trying to escape. luckily.. it was just the tip (but super close to the nerves). but if it ever gets infected or causes her pain.. im gonna have to take her to a dog dentist thats like an hour away and pay thousands of dollars.

[haughty quiver]

and yea.. 85 lbs. but i was holding her on the scale, and she hopped off as soon as i let go. i dont think shes 85, cause i can pick her up and move her with ease. but shes definitely thicccc(er) than what she should be. lol. ill give her all the kisses from you guys. i just want her to feel better

[edgy ember]

That's terrifying

[haughty quiver]

it is. i felt bad. i didnt think she was gonna do that. she really doesnt like being in a crate. and later.. if we leave her home, she doesnt do anything wrong.

here she is at under 50 lbs.

vs 85lbs tonight

[edgy ember]

I'm glad she's a good girl

[haughty quiver]

she can still climb that slide. just not today

[edgy ember]

Aww. Poor baby

[edgy ember]

That's awesome

[haughty quiver]

i hope the meds work. she threw up like 30-40 mins after i gave them to her the first time. but hasnt since. so idk how much actually got into her system. but she seems to actually be sleeping more and less bothered. so i gotta try another tonight before bed and try the other in the morning. hopefully then, ill see the meds really kick in.

im miserable just sitting here watching her. so here i am on discord with nothing else.

and my wife is with her mom in the hospital. so wtf.

one time, bella ate something toxic and i had to rush her to a 24 hour emergency vet (about an hour away up the mountain), they had to keep her for 3 days. she HATES being without us. seperation anxiety. and i was in such a bad mood and worried the whole time. i showed up first thing in the morning to pick her up when time was up.

[edgy ember]

That's all a big nightmare. I haven't had any animals in almost a decade since I was a kid so I can't completely understand, but I just hope everyone turns out alright

[haughty quiver]

bro. even my old dog didnt have a bunch of issues. and she was an outside dog that we just fed leftovers to. she lived like 16 years with no obvious issues, and she was eating like all the families leftovers back then. we loved her, but outside dogs was just how it was back then. she was a HUGE dog. pics dont do it justice.

black lab, retriever mix

[edgy ember]

She's beautiful

[haughty quiver]

she was about 13 years old in these pics. the gray hairs were already starting to show

[edgy ember]

Aww. She looks like such a sweetie. She doesn't look that old at all

[haughty quiver]

nice as can be. except to the neighbors chickens. she would get the neighbors chickens and there would be feathers all in the yard. lol. the thing about outside dogs though.. they walk off and never come back

and then you know. sad. but thats how it is.

[frozen cairn]

I have Nationwide pet insurance for Kuma and Spadie the cat.
It’s $3K a year for both combined, but the deductible is $250/animal and after that everything is 90% reimbursed.

[haughty quiver]

also.. didnt know nationwide did pet insurance. W for nationwide.

i think its about $3k to have her tooth fixed.

[edgy ember]

Yikes

[edgy ember]

Yeah. That's a bit of a downside

[haughty quiver]

Bella feeling better today. No shaking. No vomiting. Actually interested in food. Howling/barking. Wagging her tail. Still laying around and not 100%. She actually slept really well earlier. Not interested in dog food, but she ate a bowl full of grilled chicken. Hope she's back to 100% soon.

The main thing I'm worried about now is if the symptoms return after she gets off the meds. I don't think they will, but still possibility. I got 3 more days to find out.

[edgy ember]

I'm glad she's feeling a little better. Hopefully the symptoms don't return

[haughty quiver]

I don't think they will. We will see.

Btw.. making hamburger helper tonight. lol. I think you make some occasionally too? I always make brocolli and then lay the Hamburger helper over it when I make my plate. Easy way to get your vegetables in if you don't already

[edgy ember]

Oh heck yeah. I love hamburger helper. Never tried it with broccoli. It sounds pretty good

[haughty quiver]

I don't like brocolli plain. But I like melted cheese and brocolli. Same concept. Plus brocolli supposed to be really good for you

Garlic bread goes good with Hamburger helper too

[edgy ember]

Truth. I usually just use ranch with it. Even light ranch makes it taste better somehow

[edgy ember]

Dang right

[haughty quiver]

I usually don't like eating veggies plain. Otherwise.. Lettuce tomato mayo sandwiches are good, or tuna mayo cucumber. Cucumber gives it a fresh crunch without being too overpowered.

For breakfast.. oatmeal, dates, Bananas, strawberries, and sometimes blueberries is a great combo.

[edgy ember]

Sounds like a good breakfast. I don't usually eat breakfast. I don't think I can name any veggies I can eat plain

[haughty quiver]

Carrots are actually good plain. It has a sweetness about it

I'm not big on veggies.. but I used to be a health nut. So I would juice veggies every morning. This juice would wake me up and energize, and taste good:

Kale, carrots, green apple, ginger, and cucumber (because cucumber provides a lot of juice and sorta waters it down so it's not so strong flavored.)

[edgy ember]

I don't think I've ever had kale before. Carrots don't taste good by themselves to me

[haughty quiver]

I tried juicing beets one time, cause they good for your heart. But it tastes like dirt and I can't. lol

[haughty quiver]

Kale is sorta like.. brocolli? Idk. They're not good plain. lol

I tried using it to replace iceberg lettuce.. and it's just not it. lol

But thats the point of the cucumber in the juice to water it down, and the green apples to add a sour/sweet.

[edgy ember]

If I ever have questions, I'll let you know

[haughty quiver]

Aka: 'I don't wanna hear about veggies anymore'. lol.

I understand

[fringe plover]

Hi

[edgy ember]

Eh. Not really that. I just wanted to play some Skate 3. Been finding ways to get to out of map spots easier than how everyone else does it

[frozen cairn]

If you blanch kale, you can make an amazing salad with it. But raw, yikes.

[still nacelle]

been listening to the singles that A Day to Remember released on Spotify for their new album.

Can't wait till it releases digitally next month.

[haughty quiver]

Raw kale is harsh. Sorta burns. Idk how to describe it.

[haughty quiver]

I used to listen to a day to remember a lot back in the day. You be tails, I'll be sonic is so good for them

[still nacelle]

Ye. From what i've heard off their latest album's good though.

And apparently according to people that got the album physically, they say the album is way better than You're Welcome.

[haughty quiver]

A day to remember is a good band. Some of their songs sound about the same, but it's always a vibe.

I'm more for the hard stuff of their albums. Cause I was listening to them about the same time as BMTH.. and the first time I heard BMTH was pray for plagues

[still nacelle]

ah, okay.

automod hates spotify links

[haughty quiver]

But i still like those bands, regardless. Always interested in new music no matter the genre.

I'm also big on hip hop and lyricism. Even mumble rap, etc. I really like.

[edgy ember]

You ever listen to De La Soul?

[haughty quiver]

I have. What about Dir En Grey. One time I made a translation for them, and got more views than the band. YouTube took the vid down and banned my account.

Early 2000s

[edgy ember]

Dayum. I havent heard of them. I'll have to check them out.

You down to VC? Im working on another song rn

[haughty quiver]

Not tonight. I'm going to bed in about an hour. If i hop on VC.. it's gonna be like 3 hours and it will be my fault

[edgy ember]

Dang thats truth though. Im the same way. Imma drop a short demo of a track Im working on in #creative real quick. Its a solid 20 seconds

[haughty quiver]

I deleted most of what I said in that channel. Idk if it's okay to have full convos in that channel, and I also don't wanna take attention away from other people's art and stuff.

[dawn quarry]

i just beat both of the thugs they were so good

[solar zodiac]

And now it's just a bunch of Kaiza talking to himself

[calm cliff]

thaw pro?

[haughty quiver]

Why kaiza over there talking to himself? 👀

[calm cliff]

jk its thugpro!

[edgy ember]

That's fair

[edgy ember]

Hahaha

[rotund oasis]

Mouse and keyboard?!

[young delta]

Yo

[pure smelt]

yeah

[pure smelt]

both thugs are good so now im on THAW

[calm cliff]

tonyhawkthegame.com

that didnt work

https://www.tonyhawkthegame.com/

[dawn quarry]

same

[pure smelt]

on keyboard and mouse

[rotund oasis]

that fr impressive

[pure smelt]

Thank youuu

[haughty quiver]

@rotund oasis found you a good deal

Who is buying it?

[rotund oasis]

bro looool

2.5k for USED is insane !!

[edgy ember]

Heck nah. Those have been up for over a year. Just a flex or a desperate listing

[haughty quiver]

@rotund oasis before the new skate. announcement, I bought mine for like $100 and box

[rotund oasis]

rt6jterghihij3r[n

My heart is broken

100 is so crazy, a real steal

its so hard to even find it with tags and box too

[haughty quiver]

The Skate 2 dem bones deck was 45$ with shrink wrap

Back in 2018?

[edgy ember]

Wild prices on these

[pure wind]

I found this also

[edgy ember]

I paid way more for Dem Bones

[edgy ember]

Yep. The price is insane

[haughty quiver]

So instead of $100,000, I'll sell them for $95,000. Especially since USED is $2,500. Mine are mint with box.

Take it or leave it

[edgy ember]

😂

[haughty quiver]

This one I admit was a complete steal. The Skate 2 shoes also weren't much more $$, but I still haggled for a lower price. lmao

Those laces on the side too

These were $30, but used and dirty. Had to clean them myself. Worth it

[edgy ember]

Beautiful

[haughty quiver]

Dry clean brushes.

[edgy ember]

Nice. I'm about to clean my boots

[haughty quiver]

What fabric?

[edgy ember]

Leather

[haughty quiver]

Nice. My brushes are mainly for suede. But they're supposed to work for dry cleaning other leather too. Just depends on the type

I love suede. My couch is suede.

[haughty quiver]

What type of leather?

[edgy ember]

Full grain

[haughty quiver]

Never cleaned that. How you gonna do it?

[edgy ember]

Toothbrush, a soft brush, saddle soap, leather conditioner

[haughty quiver]

what type of bristle toothbrush? those soft brushes for leather feel good af right?

sounds like you should be able to clean them up pretty nice. never used saddle soap or conditioner.

[edgy ember]

Just a soft toothbrush. It's for dry brushing stitching

[edgy ember]

It's not bad

[haughty quiver]

i only use soft toothbrushes for electronics. never used them for shoes.

[rotund oasis]

man

give me ur collection

[haughty quiver]

i bet your boots gonna look great. its amazing what a little dry cleaning can do.

[haughty quiver]

gow controller 😂

most of my collection was acquired between 2018-2020. ever since the new skate. was announced.. everything skyrocketed.

[haughty quiver]

I got more rare stuff other than skate merchandise. Some of my other stuff is worth a little more, like my hookups fiendhunter deck, supreme deck, bam adios shoes, session limited /50 decks, sxl decks, and someone said this was rare too:

But I also have vintage apple wired earbuds, new in box, that are like $150. And some games, etc. I like to collect things I'm interested in besides skate.

[rotund oasis]

nahh i need this actually

new era skate hat is insane

[haughty quiver]

anyway nik, and huckman.. i know yall got some crazy collection stuff too that i cant ever match.

zexy got those pax decks. i never even got one. but im happy with my collection as is. those pax decks are cool to have tho.

[edgy ember]

Oh not just dry brushing. Thats one of the first steps. I just cleaned them with the soft brush and saddle soap. I'm about to condition them now

[edgy ember]

Huck had around 5 or so at one time

[haughty quiver]

whats the cheapest youve seen them currently? they all seem to be ridiculous.

[edgy ember]

I saw a beat pair go for $50-60. Very beat. $2500 for semi-beaters ain't it though 😂

[haughty quiver]

lmao. even for a beat, its not it.

[edgy ember]

Never

[haughty quiver]

i think calplex.. (maybe im wrong).. has a pax deck with 'skate 3' griptape. i almost bought that one JUST FOR THE GRIP. but i passed it on.

[edgy ember]

I only want the Skate 2 Etnies. I want them practically deadstock

[edgy ember]

Idk if I've seen the grip

I found him a pax deck and a Coach Frank deck

[haughty quiver]

its a big skate 3 logo on the grip

[edgy ember]

Haven't seen it

[haughty quiver]

like.. the whole grip. @magic ore do you have this?

the graphic was worn down though, so i passed. but i really wanted that grip

[edgy ember]

Huh

[edgy ember]

A while back I found a Coach Frank deck that had most of the graphic sanded down to the wood. Dude was selling it on eBay for like $300 when the deck was ruined

[haughty quiver]

i remember this. wasnt it the yellow one i got, but it was like.. half sanded down? wtf is that. lol

[edgy ember]

That's the one

Dude was tweaking with that price

[edgy ember]

Also for leather, if you clean leather with saddle soap, make sure you don't get the wrong color saddle soap. White or yellow. Yellow is for darker leathers like black

Lighter leathers use white

[haughty quiver]

this is basically 1 of a kind. calplex ended up with it

[haughty quiver]

bro living in the 1890s.

[edgy ember]

Woah

[haughty quiver]

jk.

[edgy ember]

What's the story of this

[haughty quiver]

some dude got it from a contest or something. was selling it on ebay. the graphic was worn from 'shelf life' or something. but had this grip on it. i talked to him to find the story on it. and then passed it up. calplex bought it sometime later. it was on sale on ebay for a long time.

the other side of the deck is a pax graphic.

[haughty quiver]

when my iphone charges up, ill try to find the convo.

was so long ago, and ive sold and bought so many things since then.. hope its still on there.

[edgy ember]

Huh. I wonder if it's the one I sent him a while back or if it's a different one

[haughty quiver]

Not unless you sold it on ebay. I remember this one on ebay.

[edgy ember]

No I meant sent a link

Would've been eBay. Unless that one was through Huck. Idk

I got one to Calplex through Huck a long while back

No idear

[haughty quiver]

My iPhone battery is so dead, I haven't been able to turn it on and even try to look for the story. lol.

[edgy ember]

Charge that sucka

[haughty quiver]

It's an iPhone 6s plus. When it's completely dead, takes a while to charge and turn on. Sucks.. because I use it for personal emails, etc. Ever since I got hacked

I'm gonna have to change that tho, because it stopped getting updates. But I just don't trust this android.

[edgy ember]

Dang

[haughty quiver]

I don't have my ebay, PayPal, Amazon, nothing linked to this android.

[edgy ember]

I don't blame you

[haughty quiver]

Paranoia, lol

[edgy ember]

Not paranoia. Extra steps to stay safe

[haughty quiver]

My debit card expired a couple months ago, and I don't even wanna update. Yet.. Microsoft still finds a way to charge me for game pass ultimate. lol

[edgy ember]

Literally. Once my card expired, I got so many emails from so many companies about subscriptions and it's wild how quick they'll come at you like you're trying not to pay them

[haughty quiver]

I just let them cancel themselves. Auto cleanup. Except for Microsoft. I'll fix that within the next couple days

Just got on my iPhone. Ebay only lets me go back for a year. That deck was years ago. So it won't show me.

[edgy ember]

Oh if it was that long ago, then I didn't find it. It was probably 1-1.5 years ago for the one I'm thinking of

[haughty quiver]

Calplex gonna have to give you the full story. All I remember is it's from a contest. Basically 1 of a kind. Hopefully he can give you the full history.

[edgy ember]

Alright. Still sick nonetheless

[haughty quiver]

It sucks dude. Cause ebay used to keep messages, purchases, etc. for YEARS. I'm actually surprised by this.

[edgy ember]

Yep. I think it keeps sold listings for 60 or 90 days now unless I'm thinking of a different selling platform

[haughty quiver]

Purchases still go all the way back. Check this. Gonz adidas:

Skate 2 dem bones deck

[edgy ember]

Wow

[haughty quiver]

I wasn’t lying. lol. The Gonz shoes were cheaper than I thought. I said $100 with the box

[haughty quiver]

How are your boots coming out? You got before and after pics?

[edgy ember]

I got Dem Bones cheaper than I got the orange Skate 1 pre-order deck

[rotund oasis]

Deck?

[edgy ember]

No before pics. No after pics yet. The conditioner is gonna take a few hours to dry

[edgy ember]

Dem Bones I think

[haughty quiver]

Yea. 'Chris Beintama' is a dead giveaway. Because his signature is on the top. Mine is #33 I think.

[rotund oasis]

These prices are a dream. That’s insane luck

[haughty quiver]

It's the dem bones deck

[edgy ember]

I have #277

[rotund oasis]

For that price is crazy

[edgy ember]

I got a rare Skater XL Deck for like $20. I've only seen one other and Huck has it

[rotund oasis]

Idk the number on mine

[haughty quiver]

He had 2. I bought the best one

[edgy ember]

I would've bought both

But that's me now

[rotund oasis]

Man, I can’t get over the price fr. It’s just so wild

Mine cost an arm and a leg

[edgy ember]

Same

[rotund oasis]

But I don’t regret it. I rep dem bones so it’s a mandatory thing tbh

[haughty quiver]

One was on reserve for whoever wanted one from his local. I asked for the best condition.

[edgy ember]

Dude same

[rotund oasis]

Literally my twitch emotes and pfp

[edgy ember]

Ah gotcha

[edgy ember]

Just if Daredevil was in the game lol

[rotund oasis]

Maybe in THPS but not skate

[edgy ember]

For real

That's acceptable

[haughty quiver]

$54 for the Gonz skate merch shoes was the better deal imo

[rotund oasis]

Well, the number of the deck is good and yeah it’s mad expensive rn tbh

100% the shoes were a better deal

I’m not really a fan of any of the skate shoes tho ngl, they are strangely designed. I only like the sole of the skate 1 shoes, that’s really it

[haughty quiver]

Cause it was with the box. I got the Dennis Adidas like right after to finish the collection. Boxes and tags for both. Git the Skate 2 RVMs etnies around this time too.

Even so.. $46 for dem bones in shrink was a gold deal too

[haughty quiver]

Gonz and Dennis are the Skate 1 shoes. It has their characters showing through the bottoms

[edgy ember]

Agreed. But I fell in love with the Skate 2 Etnies years ago when I played through it for the first time. I want em

[rotund oasis]

Yeah, that’s why they’re the best designed

Because of the sole

[haughty quiver]

Also has the 'high scores' on the inside of the shoe.

[rotund oasis]

Everything else was idk, not crazy enough

That’s just my sneaker head mentality. The shoes don’t have a story besides for what they did for Skate 1

[haughty quiver]

But.. the Skate 2 etnies, orange black, with a Skate 2 logo on the side looked awesome

[rotund oasis]

To me, I see it as a recolour with a logo stamped

[haughty quiver]

The reynolds tie dye with the huge 3 on the inside with 'skate' on the back were cool.

[rotund oasis]

No story design besides the logo

[rotund oasis]

Yeah that one was pretty decent

[haughty quiver]

The etnies Jameson with the skate logo on the tongue, skate 3 logos on the inside, skate tag on the side. Good for $30.

[rotund oasis]

Oh yeah definitely for $30 that’s a steal

[haughty quiver]

I'm not a sneaker head either. I was looking at decks. The shoes just happened to show up on recs

I don't care about t-shirts, clothes, etc. I just happen to see it.

One time.. I seen the skate 3 etnies, with the box, etc. On poshmark for like $50. I passed that up and regretted it. So when I saw them on ebay for $30.. I just went with it

[rotund oasis]

Damn $50 is also crazy

Yeah I’m super into sneakers, clothes, boards and so on

I collect way too many things

My uncle is the same so that mentality is in my DNA or something

[haughty quiver]

Me too. And yea.. the $50 was crazy. But the shoes were also really dirty and used.

The box mightve been worth it, now that I've cleaned these shoes to basically new.

Oh well

If you like clothes.. I got 2 brand new skate 2 promo shirts with the tags that have the 'groovy' dlc attached @rotund oasis

Those were like $30 for both

Jeff has a black one

[edgy ember]

That's rad

I wish I had a Regs shirt like in the games

Those weren't made I believe

[haughty quiver]

Didn't one of you buy that brown skate 1 shirt with the sweat stained armpits? I've got many screenshots of it. lol

[edgy ember]

Nik got one of them. There's some grey variants up online for $300+
People have brain worms with those prices

[haughty quiver]

I was always like.. 'who is buying it?' And then someone did.

That shirt was there for like a year or so. I bet nik bought it

[edgy ember]

I think Huck haggled the price down. They got it for an awesome price. It was the first to pop up I believe

[rotund oasis]

Yeahh that’s so tough, I only got the black one.

I bought the brown shirt but it hasn’t got stains

[haughty quiver]

Maybe it was huck. That price definitely needed to be haggled. They wanted like $400 for it

[edgy ember]

I don't really care for the black and white shirts but if one pops up with the right size and price, I may just cop it

[rotund oasis]

It was listed for $400 but I didn’t buy it for near that price

[edgy ember]

There's someone selling one that blocked me for attempting to haggle with them. They even made fun of me for it

[rotund oasis]

My best shirt is the Skate 3 DC shirt

[edgy ember]

One of those "vintage" resell pages on eBay

[edgy ember]

I still have no idea how you have that

[haughty quiver]

Oh! So it was you! lol

[edgy ember]

Huck though. Dudes amazing

[haughty quiver]

I knew it

[haughty quiver]

Huck has some amazing stuff

And nik always wants my collection. Wtf.

[rotund oasis]

I sniped it

[edgy ember]

$20 and some used Skittles

[rotund oasis]

I want everyone’s collection

[rotund oasis]

I hate skittles

[edgy ember]

Used M&Ms for you then

[rotund oasis]

That’s also horrible

[edgy ember]

Used paper towel that I used to wipe soap off my boots then

[rotund oasis]

??

[edgy ember]

😂

[edgy ember]

Me and Toasty were talking about cleaning shoes and whatnot earlier while I was cleaning my boots

[rotund oasis]

Water, soap, toothbrush

[edgy ember]

Mostly yes

[rotund oasis]

Air dry

Nothing else,

[edgy ember]

Leather conditioner too to waterproof

[haughty quiver]

BUT! If one of you wanna throw $100k my way.. I'll see what I can work out. Because then, I'd be completely debt free. Because of my mortgage.

[edgy ember]

Hard bargain

[rotund oasis]

Toasty, I only want your hat tbh

[edgy ember]

Dude fr. That thang clean af

It would look good on my wall

Next to the S1 Pre order board

[rotund oasis]

I wouldn’t call it, “clean af”. It’s just a cool collab

It’s a New Era. The Nike of hats

[haughty quiver]

Kaiza thinks it's clean. I didn't realize how collectible it was until kaiza started pointing out stuff

[edgy ember]

I've only seen 1 or 2 other online and they're owned by devs

[rotund oasis]

It’s just a very crazy collab piece tbh. It’s something I would never expect to exist

[edgy ember]

I wish the 2021 hats were better quality. I don't wear mine because it doesn't get a good head seal. Feels loose all the time

[haughty quiver]

$100k and it's all yours 😭

[edgy ember]

I got $10 and a pack of used Marlboros

[haughty quiver]

lol. Nah.

Next of kin getting the collection with rules to not sell

[edgy ember]

Respect. That's how I am unless I get doubles

[haughty quiver]

Unless I sell a hat for 100k

[edgy ember]

I wanna gift a buddy a year 1 deck but I haven't gotten a second online yet

[haughty quiver]

Gift it to me.

Your buddy

[edgy ember]

Do you have one? Which of the modern decks do you have

@haughty quiver before and after. Wore them a bit and then they sat for a couple weeks.

All clean!

First pic is dust

Anyways. Goodnight yall

[haughty quiver]

You weren't kidding about that saddle soap. Those are shining. Nice cleanup

[edgy ember]

Dang straight. But dish soap works pretty much the same

[haughty quiver]

I have years 1 - current. lol

[edgy ember]

I just had the soap laying around and chose it

[edgy ember]

Okay good haha. Goodnight man

[haughty quiver]

It is clean bro. Just got some dust from sitting on my desk so long.

Someone pressured me into getting the blue San Van shirt. Always telling me to buy it, even when I really didn't want it

[rotund oasis]

Noo he means, it’s really nice lmfao

Like it’s cool

[rotund oasis]

I was that someone

It’s an insane shirt

[rotund oasis]

You got 2 skate 2 shirts?!

[haughty quiver]

Dawn really killed the marketing when they showed them ducks getting the oil washed off them. It's all my wife will use now

[haughty quiver]

Yea dude.

$30 total

[edgy ember]

If you don't like it, I'll buy it off you

[edgy ember]

Yep

[rotund oasis]

I’m in shock

Yeah if you’re selling anything at all, hmu. I’m not worried about size or anything.

[edgy ember]

I'm only worried about size for the widely made black Skate 2 shirts. Other shirts, I don't mind the size. If the price is right

[rotund oasis]

I need to grow this clothing collection. Currently I have one from everything but skate it

[edgy ember]

There's tons of small sized shirts online you can find

[haughty quiver]

youre gonna flip when i tell you

they both XL. the most valuable of all shirts.

[edgy ember]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-not-for-sale-mick-dead-boy-detectives-you-can't-buy-it-i-won't-sell-it-gif-9180236763658383585

[rotund oasis]

…

[haughty quiver]

the san van blue is small tho

[rotund oasis]

XL is nice

Good baggy fit

[rotund oasis]

I got lucky with my S1 shirt being my size. Medium

[haughty quiver]

XLs sale for more for some reason. idk why.

[rotund oasis]

Lower production rate

Not a common size

Medium is the most common

[haughty quiver]

youd think it would be more common. thats all i wear is XL

[edgy ember]

Anyways. I have an early morning. Gn yall

[haughty quiver]

i didnt buy it for the size. just got lucky with that. i was never gonna wear it.

[haughty quiver]

gn'. its the weekend. so im trying to stay up.

[rotund oasis]

Smart man, I don’t plan to wear mine either

[haughty quiver]

goodnite tho.

[rotund oasis]

Good night

[haughty quiver]

also... happy late bday again. wish i wouldve told you sooner, but i just didnt know.

@edgy ember

[haughty quiver]

i never buy for the size. a lot of times, it just works out. but i also wont pay some crazy price.

[edgy ember]

Thanks man. Don't sweat it. I didn't tell many people online the day of. I was just chilling offline most of the day

[rotund oasis]

Honestly same

[haughty quiver]

good job with that brown skate shirt tho. i just couldnt push myself to do it, even if i wanted to.

[rotund oasis]

I got insanely lucky

[haughty quiver]

no one knew. but as soon as they knew.. they all chimed in. they love you man.

[rotund oasis]

The price wasn’t as crazy as you’d think

[haughty quiver]

i realize. i had seen a brown shirt before for a lot cheaper. i cant remember anything about how used it was. but i passed up on that one too. i pass up a lot and let other people get it.

[rotund oasis]

I passed up so many things man, the prices were too much. Also the sellers always have attitude. It’s annoying

[haughty quiver]

sometimes.. i go out of my way to help people get stuff. calplex is from across seas, and i tried to buy him the tiedye reynolds on time for cheap.

[rotund oasis]

Oh yeah that’s what Huck does for me, since I’m in the UK it’s so annoying to deal with

[haughty quiver]

it just didnt work out. the plan was i was gonna buy, and he was just gonna pay me the price. like my skate 1 aus deck, where someone wanted to just GIVE it to me, and i was like.. nah.. im gonna pay whatever you paid. and the dude still threw in a signed braille deck for free.

[haughty quiver]

ive brought from the UK before. it truly is a nightmare sometimes.

[rotund oasis]

Damnn that is crazy

[haughty quiver]

i showed the video of the dude telling me he was just gonna give me the deck. so nice.

i just dont like gifts without compensation to the givers. yknow?

[rotund oasis]

Oh yeah for sure that’s so generous

[rotund oasis]

I 100% agree

[haughty quiver]

just dont like 'gifts'. ive never asked for them, or for money. im just not that person. i dont even allow donations or anything even if people ask me too.

[rotund oasis]

Yeah I feel you on that

[haughty quiver]

show your favorite collection pieces. i know you got some cool stuff.

[rotund oasis]

Hmm

Skate wise?

[haughty quiver]

whatever. i dont just collect skate stuff. i said earlier, i like headphones, games, etc. i also collect a lot of non-skate stuff

i got a whole shelf dedicated to earbuds. lol.

[rotund oasis]

My 2nd fav skate shirt

[haughty quiver]

that one is cool. i dont think ive ever seen that before i seen it from you.

[haughty quiver]

plus.. it has that skate 3 logo on it.

[rotund oasis]

1997 smoking bleeding skull shirt

[haughty quiver]

austin 3:16.

[rotund oasis]

Yup!

This was an insane find

[haughty quiver]

1997 so long ago. stone cold is my favorite wrestler.

[rotund oasis]

I got it for $60 in Japan

It’s valued at like $300+

[haughty quiver]

i used to have stone cold CD's. i wish i could remember what happened to them.

the breaking glass, rattlesnake, soundtracks

[haughty quiver]

you gonna sit on it forever?

[rotund oasis]

This shirt is the promo shirt for the group metalheads. Owned by a DJ called Goldie

[haughty quiver]

remember the first time kane and undertaker fought?

[rotund oasis]

Under it is a OG OG gumball 3000 tee from the 90s

[haughty quiver]

legend.

[rotund oasis]

Yeah I do lmfao!!

That was when Kane debuted

[haughty quiver]

and it was before kane took off his mask and showed himself as some crazy dude.

but he was still crazy with the mask. lmfao

[rotund oasis]

Yeahh with all the ash on his face

Want to know something funny?

[haughty quiver]

?

[rotund oasis]

Kane is the Mayor of Knox County now

The same dude who was burying people alive and throwing them into caskets lol

[haughty quiver]

oh yeah. i know. lmao.

still.. i loved that era of wwe

it was WWF back then

[rotund oasis]

Yeahh

I’m a huge fan of wrestling tbh. Like a die hard fan

[haughty quiver]

i still had a 'redskins' jersey and a 'charlotte hornets' puffy vest back then, going to school

[rotund oasis]

Damnn

[haughty quiver]

john cena had the chain around his neck, repping 'chain gang'. different era.

word life

[rotund oasis]

Yeah !!! Doctor of Thuganomics

[haughty quiver]

dude had a cd then, that i would just blast on the boombox.

dial up was a thing then too.

[rotund oasis]

I remember the album he dropped too

It’s actually not bad

[haughty quiver]

nah. john cena is an okay singer.

a lot of the wwe themes were good.

like triple h, 'the game'

one point.. undertaker had 'rollin - limp bizkit'

[rotund oasis]

I like NWO Wolfpac’s theme

Idk a lot of there’s are pretty good

[haughty quiver]

NWO was beast.

[rotund oasis]

Like scotty 2 hotty

Turn it up ! 😂😂

[haughty quiver]

lmao. scotty 2 hotty.

[rotund oasis]

Doing the worm for no reason

[haughty quiver]

😂

remember booker t?

[rotund oasis]

Yeah he was in WCW and WWE

King Booker !

He’s still in the WWE

He’s a commentator for NXT

[haughty quiver]

lmao. scotty 2 hotty. you don brought back so many memories. im cracking up

[rotund oasis]

Hahaha

The Hurricane too

[haughty quiver]

lol.

[rotund oasis]

He tried to chokeslam in the rumble and got thrown out

[haughty quiver]

ICP was part of that one wrestling group. im sure you remember the name

ECW?

[rotund oasis]

Mann I can’t remember

ecw, WCW, wwf

[haughty quiver]

lmao. all caps is not cruise control

[rotund oasis]

I don’t like it lol. Most of the time I’m reacting or I’m emphasising then my msg is gone

[haughty quiver]

insane clown posse was like some backyard wrestling. but i think they moved to ECW. and then they just started some rapping. i cant remember either.

[haughty quiver]

lmao.

[rotund oasis]

Yeah they were in ecw 100%

I love ecw so much

With Sabu, rvd, raven, tommy dreamer, super crazy, tajiri, new jack, and so on

[haughty quiver]

what i remember most, its monday night RAW, and thursday night SMACKDOWN. everyone was separated. WCW came on sometime too. and then, IDK WTF happened. but Goldberg was like 'peace', and dipped.

[rotund oasis]

Friday night smackdown

[haughty quiver]

goldberg went on vacation forever.

but he had that sphere.

[rotund oasis]

Well Goldberg has an ego and he doesn’t like losing or anything

[haughty quiver]

but Edge also would do that sphere. so whatever.

[rotund oasis]

Also since wwf bought WCW, they were merging. Most wrestlers hated that

Goldberg has a football spear, edge got a “I’m so hip and cool” spear lol

Both are good

Goldbergs would put you in a coma

[haughty quiver]

but i had wcw on console. and it was a totally different roster than wwf

[rotund oasis]

Yeah they’re 2 different companies

[haughty quiver]

its so wild they had to change their name from WWF. i hated that.

[rotund oasis]

wcw was the rival to wwf and most of the top wrestlers left wwf because of Vince and went to wcw. Like hogan, randy savage, Rick flair and so on

[haughty quiver]

nah. i know that. but i wish wwf never had to change their name.

[rotund oasis]

That was also the time Rey mysterio was a heel and wrestled without a mask

Oh yeah, they got sued. I prefer wwf tbh

[haughty quiver]

yea. of course.

[rotund oasis]

Man Vince was a real weirdo but a insanely good heel

Like the stories he made were so weird.

[haughty quiver]

i think.. it was about the same time.. they changed their name.. it was the beginning of the end.

[rotund oasis]

Mark Henry had a kid with May Young and the baby was a plastic hand…

[rotund oasis]

Yeah it was wwwf then wwf for a short time. It feels like a long time tbh

It’s like stone colds wwf career. It was so short but it felt like years

[haughty quiver]

stone cold was a beast. he ruled whatever era he was in.

now hes on a farm chilling with his chickens. lmao

[rotund oasis]

Loool

And never shows up

Gets offered 100k+ but he says no and tells taker to do it

Like last mania

[haughty quiver]

he just wants to chill with his chickens.

hes living the good life.

[rotund oasis]

Don’t forget his cat too

[haughty quiver]

he drunk beer on stage for years.. and now he wants to chill with his pets.

[rotund oasis]

That’s what brock lesner does. He quits to go back to his farm

But brock hates people and only wants privacy

[haughty quiver]

brock is big tho.

[rotund oasis]

Remember how jacked he was in the debut?

He was 23…

[haughty quiver]

do you remember mordecai?

[rotund oasis]

Lmfao yeah

[haughty quiver]

he was a white haired dude, dressed in all white. he was only on for like 2 episodes.

[rotund oasis]

From the ministry of darkness

With taker and viscera

[haughty quiver]

but they built that dude up like he was about the be the 'light' version of taker

[rotund oasis]

Lmfaooo

He was just a jobber to hype taker tbh

My darkness goat is Gangrel

When he had the brood. Omg

[pure wind]

Its crazy he was supposed to feud with the undertaker at WM21, but it got scrapped

[rotund oasis]

The music, the fire in the entrance. Spitting blood and blood baths too

I didn’t even know that

That reminds me of when Shawn Michaels has a tag team partner who was god

Literally no one appeared and they had a spotlight follow nothing

[pure wind]

Vince was wild with this idea

[rotund oasis]

Fr he was

Aight imma sleep now, it’s late

Good talk !

[pure wind]

gn

[haughty quiver]

this is dude. before they scrapped him. he mightve got like... 2 episodes.

and for sure.. he goes against scotty 2 hotty. lmao

[rotund oasis]

Ohh I remember him

Bro is really having a match against scotty looool

[haughty quiver]

"what is this' 'divine reverence perhaps' ' whackjob' dude didnt stand a chance. lmao

[rotund oasis]

Lmfaooo

[calm cliff]

I'm pissed i missed both of these conversations

[rotund oasis]

I looked into this, honestly. He seemed like a solid character. Good matches, and insane promos. I dont understand the whole point of scrapping a character whom is actually entertaining

but they're rather got with a bootleg Jack Sparrow lol

[haughty quiver]

I remember they were hyping him up big before his first match

[rotund oasis]

Oh yeah! He has some crazy segments and he had a story to go after Eddie Guerrero but it never happened and he went after Hardcode Holly lmao

They did some bad writing but the character was good

[haughty quiver]

It was. I was hyped to see him. But dude just didn’t last long for whatever reason. They were teasing other wrestlers during that time, and he was the one I looked forward to. That’s why I remember him enough to talk about him eventhough he didn’t last long

[rotund oasis]

i blame vince

[haughty quiver]

Idk who the blame. Why even bother hyping that dude up if you just gonna put him to the side? Maybe he had some medical issues or whatever and just couldn’t go with the flow

[haughty quiver]

This is one of the funniest segments I ever heard. I never seen it. LMAO.

Yoooo. I just cracked the gorilla glass on my case by dropping it off the sink. Crazy. Cause I left this phone on the top of the car, and it fell off at 60mph down the highway and didn’t hurt the case at all.

At least it didn’t hurt my phone. Still looks brand new without the case

[rotund oasis]

yeah honestly, they never should have cut him off like that

[rotund oasis]

Hahaha. Look it up

[rotund oasis]

omg

[haughty quiver]

I wonder how much money they put into promoting him? What was his last match? Did he win it?

[haughty quiver]

Oh well. I've this case for like.. 8 years or something

$15.. worth it considering everything I put it through. I just throw this thing around

[rotund oasis]

wow, 8 yrs is impressive ngl

[haughty quiver]

It’s an iPhone 6s Plus, and this is the only case I’ve had. And the case has been on since I got the phone

It’s the phone I use for all my 4K video unboxings. Such a good phone even if it’s old.

[rotund oasis]

iphone 6 has 4k?!

[haughty quiver]

Just the 6s plus. It also got iOS updates until like.. last year or something

iPhone 6 is such a downgrade compared to this. iPhone 7 and 8 probably a downgrade too. They cooked when they made 6s Plus

My 1 year old cheap samsung is even a downgrade. And it costs the same new as a used 6s Plus.

This my iPhone 6s Plus picture quality

[rotund oasis]

I can't lie, the camera seems pretty damn good

[edgy ember]

How's Bella doing?

[haughty quiver]

I bought my wife the newer iPhone pro max. Her camera is gorgeous

[frozen cairn]

it's so good.

[haughty quiver]

She’s been doing good. You can tell she’s still sick. She won’t eat her regular dog food, so I assume something’s wrong with it. But she’ll eat anything else. So I’ve been making her chicken breasts.

[haughty quiver]

It really is. People like to hate on Apple. But their cameras are fantastic

[edgy ember]

I'm glad she's doing alright. Idk what's up with the food though. At least she's eating something

[haughty quiver]

She’s gotten sick off of milkbones before too. Just a bad batch. But I’ll never buy any again because of that

[edgy ember]

That sucks. Poor girl

[haughty quiver]

I feed her Purina One. But I might have to switch brands now, because she don’t want nothing to do with it

[rotund oasis]

Ooo! My brother has that. The camera is insane but the AI is bad

[haughty quiver]

What’s the AI? Is it automatic? I don’t think she’s ever knowlingly used it

I’m excited for when I upgrade her phone. Cause I’m gonna take her old one. Like with her Apple Watch and iPad

[rotund oasis]

I dont think it's automatic. I dont really know how to use it either, but I've seen the quality of it, its not very good

[haughty quiver]

I never buy myself new stuff, but I keep her up to date

[rotund oasis]

W husband

could we be brothers, so you can buy me skate merch?

[haughty quiver]

Oh. You mean like how it can remove objects from the photos using AI? Yea.. that sucks

[haughty quiver]

I will buy my brother new games, GFuel, controllers, etc. but never skate merch. He’s not a ‘skate’ gamer. He can’t get into it

[rotund oasis]

yeahh
