W brother omg

[haughty quiver]

I’ve given him skateboarding games before, and he just can’t get into them. I treat my grandma good too. She’s living in my second home for free.

And she’s always like ‘I’ll pay for it’ and I’m just like.. ‘nah’

[edgy ember]

You're awesome

That's how my brother is. We used to hand over the controller in spot battles every round when we lived together. Nowadays he's moved out and doesn't like skating games

[haughty quiver]

i gave him skate 1, 2, 3.. skater xl.. session.. tony hawk games.. hes just not interested.

and i dont understand. so im like.. 'man.. just play it.. i bet youll like it'

never works. lol. some people just arent into it.

everytime i buy him a skate game, im like 'if you dont like it.. just give it back to me.. because ill put it on the shelf'

[rotund oasis]

You’re a rare type of person, so selfless. It’s honestly amazing to hear about this. You’re honestly a good man

[haughty quiver]

idk about that. 'good man' and 'selfless' is a hard quality to live up to

[rotund oasis]

In my eyes, that’s how I see it. Looking after the people you love is so important

[haughty quiver]

i appreciate it.

[rotund oasis]

The main thing is, you’re trying your best

Trying is better than not doing anything at all

[rotund oasis]

You’re more an welcome man

[haughty quiver]

the story about 'fixing anything for my grandma'. i JUST got done remodeling the home for her to live in. she called me like.. 6 months later saying that the floor in the kitchen is getting soft.. turns out.. the water heater (in the wall) was leaking and causing water damage surrounding it. had to go in there, take up to flooring.. replace the subfloor, water heater, etc.

and then replace the flooring. (thank god for vinyl plank).

[rotund oasis]

Wow you do your own house renovations?!

[haughty quiver]

but like.. half the kitchen got ripped up.

[rotund oasis]

That sounds like hard work man

I wouldn’t be able to do that

[haughty quiver]

yea. thats how i do all my remodels. its all DIY.

[rotund oasis]

May I ask, what do you do for work?

[haughty quiver]

i used to do warehouse / shipping. remodeling was a side thing, but i never charged anyone for anything. as long as i could afford the supplies. (youd be surprised at how cheap it actually is)

[rotund oasis]

Oh yeah, I do some work with property so I’m somewhat aware of costs. But the labour work seems so challenging

Man, you do a lot of work

I need to get like you

[edgy ember]

That's fair. I always wanted to teach my brother more in the skate games but he just wasn't interested. He likes Madden and whatnot more. I hate those so much. They bore me to death. He's probably that way with skating games

[edgy ember]

Dang man. Nik is right. You are a good person whether you see it or not. You're super humble man. You remind me of my dad

[haughty quiver]

when i got laid off of my warehouse job (because i was the youngest there).. i went straight to making videos, flipping electronics, etc. i actually made more from youtube than my last job. lol.

youtube paid for my setup that you see in my background, also all my collection.

[edgy ember]

Man. I hope I could find something that works out for me

[haughty quiver]

but.. ive also said.. dont rely on youtube. ive got other stuff.

if you rely on youtube.. youll end up broke

[edgy ember]

Truth. I don't plan on making many videos unless it pops off.

[edgy ember]

Truth there too. Always have a couple backup plans and other things to lean on

[haughty quiver]

some people wanna pay me to remodel.. and im like.. nah.. i hate it. lmao

wanna see some of my before and afters?

[edgy ember]

Heck yeah I do

[rotund oasis]

That’s very inspiring, I’m still learning YouTube. I’m not worried about the money. I really want to just push out good content

For Skate is pretty difficult especially since I cover things from the games and not challenges

[haughty quiver]

its really this. just have fun with it. dont push it if you dont want to. you end up getting burnt out. you have to enjoy it

[rotund oasis]

I used to resell sneakers but not anymore, it’s too hard now plus I got banned from stores lol

[haughty quiver]

i can make a couple thousand just flipping audio equipment.

[rotund oasis]

Yeahh, I want to keep creating. But, I don’t have a lot to cover since the game doesn’t have updates. So I depend on my knowledge and finding out more

[rotund oasis]

I gotta learn from you

I’m going to add you on discord

[edgy ember]

I may start doing this. I have a buddy that could help

[haughty quiver]

ive told this story before.. but one time.. i bought 8 'brand new' apple earbuds for $60. those 8 sets would sell for $100 a piece. if you do the math...

[edgy ember]

I have learned so much from Toasty. His advice helped me through college classes

[haughty quiver]

pay $60.. and get $800

[edgy ember]

I remember this

[rotund oasis]

Now that is crazy

[haughty quiver]

i kept 2 sets. one to open and listen to. and 1 set just to keep new and for collection

it also helps that i live in a 'low cost of living' city.

[rotund oasis]

Where you at?

[haughty quiver]

ill never tell you. lol

[edgy ember]

He does want your collection

[haughty quiver]

he about to come steal it.

[rotund oasis]

San Vanelona?

[haughty quiver]

yes. lol

[rotund oasis]

Lmfaooo

Art Gallery

That’s your house

[haughty quiver]

no

[edgy ember]

That's Gonz's vacation home

[haughty quiver]

im trying to find my before/afters.

[edgy ember]

Ooh. I forgot about those. I'm excited

[haughty quiver]

eh.

[rotund oasis]

You’ve never seen Gonz and Toasty in the same place

[pure wind]

The Regs?

[edgy ember]

I've never seen Gonz with Toasty hair though

[haughty quiver]

my dad also built his own house from scratch. so i learned a lot

[rotund oasis]

GTA SA barber

[rotund oasis]

Holy

[haughty quiver]

and my grandpa on my dads side was a pro wrestler (ive told this story to kaiza and also gave him the deetz)

[edgy ember]

Yep. It's cool af

[haughty quiver]

something youd be interested in. he was tag team champion

[edgy ember]

This is also awesome

[rotund oasis]

My dad taught me architecture and interior design when I was like 11

But not labour, it’s more like sizing, planning and such

[edgy ember]

That's sick

[rotund oasis]

Which is actually required with my job tbh

Even tho I went to film school

[haughty quiver]

my dads side was all about labor. like.. 'you gotta help build the house'

[edgy ember]

Same with my dad. Just holding the flashlight taught me so much lol. Standing there bored out of your mind as a kid really gives you a reason to pay attention

[rotund oasis]

We do like, planning, investing and so on

Learning to lease and flip

I’ll post a before and after of something I helped on. But I will delete it after

[haughty quiver]

when i was like 8.. i had to feed like 20 rotwhilers

not sure thats how you spell 'rotwhilers'.. whatever that dog is called

some of those dogs were vicious. my dad just fed us to the dogs. lmao.

i hated it.

[rotund oasis]

Man them dogs scare me

What?!

Oh god no

Man…

My heart

Yeah that is awful

[haughty quiver]

20 rotwhilers.. what you gonna do?

[rotund oasis]

Wow! You honestly did an amazing job

[haughty quiver]

so it wasnt my best. but i was starting to get the hang of it.

[rotund oasis]

For a start it’s pretty good

[haughty quiver]

its alright

@edgy ember cant believe nik isnt even worried about who my grandpa was when he got the pro tag team championship. lol

[rotund oasis]

Now this looks super nice !

[rotund oasis]

Huh??????

You can’t just drop info like that on me

I must know

[rotund oasis]

That went right past my eyes

I love the flooring

Who was your grandfather?

You got me hooked on this

[haughty quiver]

its parquet or something. i had to sand it down and then give it clear coat to look natural.

pro wrestler thing was before wwe.

or wwf or wcw or whatever

og

[rotund oasis]

omg

wwwf?!

[haughty quiver]

it was more 'pro' without all the spotlight/ tv

[rotund oasis]

That must have been around that time

I might know who he is idk

That is honestly super sick

[haughty quiver]

it was the house in the mountains family gathering house, etc.

it was always about work.

[edgy ember]

Haha. Also the renovations look awesome

[rotund oasis]

In the mountains?! That sounds scary

[edgy ember]

Fair. Imma go to bed. Lmk when you find them and I'll check in the morning. It won't let me say the p ing word. Remove the space. Anyways. Goodnight

[haughty quiver]

gnite

[rotund oasis]

Wow! Looks like an extremely difficult process

[haughty quiver]

Like houses?

Lot of money can be made doing that.

[rotund oasis]

Yeah

[haughty quiver]

So do you find cheap houses and fix them up and then flip / lease?

[rotund oasis]

yeah thats exactly it

[haughty quiver]

Do you enjoy it? Sounds like it could be fun and profitable. I used to want to do something like that.

[rotund oasis]

i dont mind it, but I prefer doing stuff online or creative stuff

[timber depot]

📠

[tender field]

Idk how many comic fans we got in here, but I finally finished my hulk #2 collection with the first appearance of red she hulk.

[haughty quiver]

i havent read comic books in a long time. i used to be really into them. this is a nice collection.

[tender field]

I’ve definitely slowed down on the collecting but I still grab bangers when I see them!

I couldn’t pass up these crosser over Batman issues

[edgy ember]

Lol. There is no February 30th 😂

[haughty quiver]

yea. lmao

[haughty quiver]

these cover arts are so good

[rotund oasis]

I feel like I have seen this before

[haughty quiver]

probably have

first seen it about 4 years ago

[rotund oasis]

the one I'm looking for is Skate 3

I have seen pretty much everything for skate like, every portfolio, game development stuff, builds but Skate 3's build is very hard to find

[haughty quiver]

i seen dize posted a clip of pre-skate 3, where there was water or something around the triangle thing at the chan center

[rotund oasis]

yeah, i showed him that

from one of the portfolios

but he found that dev but i looked a lil deeper into it

I want to cover more on the early designs and such of the game, but i want to make sure dize is okay with it first

[haughty quiver]

are we allowed to mention that here?

[rotund oasis]

I forgot all about that

i dont think so lol

[haughty quiver]

idk. lol.

what about the pic i posted? lol

[rotund oasis]

best to be safe

yee id say delete lol

just incase

[haughty quiver]

but its an actual disc

😭

[rotund oasis]

i have every avalible skate 1, 2 and 3's devs portfolio on my pc actually

covering a decent amount of the game development

[haughty quiver]

do you have custom graphics for skate 2?

[rotund oasis]

graphics creator?

[haughty quiver]

i guess. just where youve imported your own custom graphics on skate 2.

[rotund oasis]

on ps3 i do, but i dont have a ps3 anymore lol

[haughty quiver]

thats cool. did you use all 4?

[rotund oasis]

nahh

1

[haughty quiver]

ah. i think the most ive found from people is 2 graphics

still better than none.

i have all 4 on skate 3. which is how i got my shirt, deck, and everything on series x

[rotund oasis]

i really miss the graphics creator

[haughty quiver]

wish it would come back. shame

[rotund oasis]

lmfao me too man

i hope it is considers for the next game

thats kinda why i made a video on graphics, to educate but also explain if devs watch the importance it has to the community

[haughty quiver]

im with you. and probably every single skate fan on earth.

the only issue with imported graphics.. is they'll inevitably do some NSFW type graphics. like when people on call of duty making their emblem

[rotund oasis]

i feel i could suggest but if i further explain the history and such, it makes it a lot better

[haughty quiver]

i cant think of a person ive talked to thats been like.. 'i dont wanna make my own graphics'

[rotund oasis]

well i feel it might not be considered because of what people would make, like bo2 had custom emblems but it never returned because of what people made with it

[haughty quiver]

lmao. its just the nature of the beast.

especially for a game like call of duty. you get killed and then see some stupid emblem while they crouch on you.

[rotund oasis]

lmfaooo true

tbh i have a lot of things i want in skate very badly, but aye man. idk what might happen

[haughty quiver]

i hope you get everything you want. youre not alone

[edgy ember]

hi

Those are sick

[haughty quiver]

check out what i unlocked at the end. if youre familiar with COD AW. that one is a hard one to unlock

[edgy ember]

Never played it

[haughty quiver]

its a good COD. gets a lot of hate tho. idk why

[rotund oasis]

i made hella emblems like this too

[haughty quiver]

my favorite still been World at War

[rotund oasis]

i got something u should look into. A cod made by neversoft

Call of Duty: Future Warfare

[edgy ember]

Thats how I feel about Ghosts. Campaign was amazing. Never played MP though

[haughty quiver]

future warfare. lol. what even is that? sounds like a rumor from back in the day

[rotund oasis]

ghosts was okay. AW, i didnt like

[haughty quiver]

me neither. i used to just play story. then MP. multiplayer is really fun on the earlier games.

[rotund oasis]

it was a cod made by neversoft that got scrapped. The footage of it is really cool

[edgy ember]

I dislike that it got scrapped. I hope its for the better. It looked so sick

[haughty quiver]

when i played world at war.. one time i got 22 - 2. and i feel like that was my best match.

[rotund oasis]

such a good cod

[haughty quiver]

the 2nd time i played the first one with the nuke killstreak. i got the nuke.

cant remember the name.

it was a 25 kill streak?

[rotund oasis]

mw2?

[haughty quiver]

MW2 was also good. 'no russian' was crazy

[rotund oasis]

lol it was

[haughty quiver]

honestly cant remember. whichever one introduced the nuke killstreak. thats when it started getting too cluttered.

i always liked the basic '3, 5, 7' killstreaks.

[rotund oasis]

mw2

[haughty quiver]

which one introduced nuketown? black ops? my friends and i would have private matches and play 'throwing knives only' up to 25 kills.

[rotund oasis]

that was bo1, it didnt have a nuke. it has dogs

[haughty quiver]

yea. i figured MW2 had the nuke, so i started talking about another one thats locked in my memory. lol

[rotund oasis]

i didnt play much, i just played a lil. It was too spacey for me to like

[haughty quiver]

its fun when you get used to exo abilities.

waw is unplayable now. shame

[rotund oasis]

most old cods are just flooded with modders now

[haughty quiver]

think i should boot up waw on ps3 real quick and see the scripts going across the screen.

its ridiculous

53 players online, TDM, cod waw, ps3

not too bad. theyre actually playing real matches from what i can tell.

[rotund oasis]

Ever heard of a ps3 game called Mag?

[haughty quiver]

maybe. but ive never played it. so im not sure.

[rotund oasis]

It was an online shooter on ps3. 3 teams with 300 people in one game

It was an insane idea that failed

[edgy ember]

That's insane

[rotund oasis]

Honestly it is

Especially for a ps3 game. It was a crazy idea.

[haughty quiver]

300 people in 1 game sounds like chaos

[calm cliff]

I swear I was tagged in something

[calm cliff]

This isn't AS true since they gave them all a little update last year

My buddy and I tried to play MW Remastered and there was a server issue we were bummed

[rotund oasis]

Well MW remastered is still newer than MW og. I was mainly talking about the games before the Xbox one

[edgy ember]

I was too in the same message last night. I got the notification but didn't see the messages. Those got deleted it seems

[haughty quiver]

I showed something to you, nick, and huck. Then deleted it. Wasn't sure if it could be posted here.

[rotund oasis]

What is it?

Just dm it tbh

[haughty quiver]

This

[rotund oasis]

Ohh

[haughty quiver]

But other than that, I didn't tag anyone

[edgy ember]

Yeah I missed it

[haughty quiver]

It's nothing big. I'll send it to you later.

[edgy ember]

Okay

[haughty quiver]

this game is fun

[edgy ember]

That looks sick

[haughty quiver]

check this

the replay editor is actually good. but it depends on how good the gameplay is.

its got a freecam and everything. pretty cool

ive been playing this game for like around 6 hours. lol. fun stuff.

congrats to them

[edgy ember]

That's sick

[edgy ember]

Yo that's super sick to see. Clean gameplay btw

[haughty quiver]

65 degrees today and not a cloud in the sky. Been sitting out here for like 2 hours now just enjoying it. Gotta get that Vitamin D

[edgy ember]

Heck yeah

I watched Inception. Fantastic movie

[haughty quiver]

Been a long time since I seen that.

[edgy ember]

I didn't know Cillian Murphy was in it. I just picked up Oppenheimer on Blu Ray earlier this week

[haughty quiver]

@edgy ember I mean.. Facebook is pretty old anyway. MySpace was still popular for a while after people started moving to Facebook. Yahoo and MSN messenger was really popular around that time too

People were making Naruto AMVs with 'let the bodies hit the floor' on MySpace video. lol

Before MySpace.. there was a popular blog / social thing that people would use called Xanga. Maybe LiveJournal was out around that time too. I had a Xanga

[haughty quiver]

I don't know many actors by name. lol. I had to look up who that was

I'm just ranting down memory lane here.. but Xangas main appeal was you could basically make your own website layouts as long as you knew HTML code. MySpace would do that too with HTML and CSS. If a person knew how to do it.. you wouldn't even know you were on a MySpace profile. I spent more time doing the web design than actual posting. Was fun

[edgy ember]

Huh. I learned a bit of HTML and CSS. They're both cool coding languages

[haughty quiver]

It's fun to put in some code and just see how it changes things. Then tweaking it to make it perfect. For someone like me.. where I focus on small details.. I can spend forever on little parts

[haughty quiver]

@cosmic spire you gonna go out there and fight him?

[cosmic spire]

Yeah probably 😂

[haughty quiver]

dude acting like you owe him money

[haughty quiver]

lmao. no way. dude is ready to box.

[cosmic spire]

I’m always ready 😮‍💨

[edgy ember]

Those claws

Big meaty claws

[haughty quiver]

and dude is ripped. cmon man.

[haughty quiver]

lmao

i aint goin out there and fighting no roo

[edgy ember]

Take my dog and I'll rip it a new one

I'll go Karen mode

I'll even ask for it's manager

[cosmic spire]

😂😂😂

[haughty quiver]

i can fight. but that roo is gonna be a tough one if he makes it through the first hit

if he doesnt back down and starts kicking and clawing. its wraps

[haughty quiver]

he gonna ask who you work for

[edgy ember]

KFC. Kangaroo Fighting Club

[cosmic spire]

Especially if it clinches your head and kicks you in the gut 💀

[edgy ember]

Is this a reference to something?

[haughty quiver]

no.

[edgy ember]

im lost but okay

[haughty quiver]

have you ever watched 300?

[haughty quiver]

do they do that?

[cosmic spire]

Yeah 😂 they’ll hold onto ya, balance on their tails and kick you with both legs 💀

[haughty quiver]

thats nasty.

[cosmic spire]

Very

[edgy ember]

Tried once. Couldnt get through it. I wasnt in to it at the time

[edgy ember]

haha

[haughty quiver]

ill dm the 300 scene. it makes more sense if youve seen it

[edgy ember]

k

I sent you something too

[haughty quiver]

The community over there seems to be pretty chill. Got some skate players over there too.

[solar zodiac]

Gotta love asking a seller on FB if they are in the city they say they are because all their other listings are in another state 4 hours away. They tell me that yes they are in the city close to me. Go back and forth a bunch with other questions, get to the point where they ask when I want to stop by. I ask where in the city they are located... for them to tell me they are in the city in the other state 4 hours away

[edgy ember]

That's my average marketplace encounter

[frozen cairn]

I was going to sell my cafe racer motorcycle on FB, but it doesn't run and I don't want weirdos coming to my house (and I can't tow it with my Harley. LOL)

[edgy ember]

Dang. Kinda struck out there unless you know someone that wants it

[frozen cairn]

I may just tear it down and rebuild it.

[edgy ember]

That would be a cool project. Got any pics of it?

[solar zodiac]

Worst part of this one is he's not just a rando seller but works for a dealer and posted a fresh trade in

[frozen cairn]

249cc - top speed is 65mph.

[solar zodiac]

That looks like such a fun little city bike!

[edgy ember]

Ooh. That looks fun

[cosmic spire]

Café Racers are such cool types of motorcycles

[calm cliff]

Facebook marketplace in a nutshell

New picture... loading

[solar zodiac]

👀

[calm cliff]

Picture? Post? Picture in a post? Idk

[solar zodiac]

Great teaser looking pic lol

[edgy ember]

Sheesh

[calm cliff]

Lmapo

Been meaning to get a full pic for a while so I'll get it later today

[autumn hawk]

What do y'all think abt my profile?

[frozen cairn]

Legit? Kinda antagonistic and not the vibe of the community. We welcome everyone - BMXers, scooter riders, rollerbladers, RipStickers, e-skaters.

[topaz mural]

does this mean i got invited to the playtest

[dusty sundial]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

(make sure you're signed up - and with your correct EA account - to ensure you get the sweet skate. Insider gear when Early Access drops in 2025!)

[frozen cairn]

you can sign up, fill out the survey, and wait to be invited.

[autumn hawk]

I know, it's just a joke lmao, no hate towards scooters, bmxers, rip stickers, rollerbladers or even snakeboarders (yes, that is real)

[frozen cairn]

Right on.

[autumn hawk]

I even love those, they are REALLY sick, always wanted to learn a barspin or some bmx or scooter trick

[frozen cairn]

That would be sick.

What are those things called that came out a few years ago - basically it’s a wheel and a flat platform for each foot. They’re not connected. Like a rollerblade sorta? Those look nuts. I would side-eye someone at a park with those.

[autumn hawk]

Free skates?

Yeah they are pretty sick

It's like if skating and rollerblading had a child

[frozen cairn]

Yes. That’s it. The side-eye would only happen when one shot off and messed up someone’s line. Otherwise those are crazy cool.

Personally, I roll longboards. I go to parks to watch - then longboard with my pup.

[autumn hawk]

Imagine seeing a skate. Server mod longboarding with his dog, would be kinda comical

[frozen cairn]

Imagine calling the global community manager for the franchise a “skate server mod”.

😉

[autumn hawk]

Lmao

My bad

[frozen cairn]

Np.

Hahahah

[autumn hawk]

This is the reason community managers are pretty chill

[frozen cairn]

I worked on Battlefield for many years. Been called worse than a mod. Hahah

[autumn hawk]

Hahaha

[frozen cairn]

The sticker you posted - that is my actual dog.

His name is Kuma. He turned 9 on Wednesday.

[autumn hawk]

This Wednesday?

[frozen cairn]

Yep, 2 days ago. Posted on his IG - they had a party at the daycare.

https://instagram.com/tailsofkuma

[autumn hawk]

Congrats, your dog is very cute, I don't know what more to say lol.

[frozen cairn]

Good enough.

[autumn hawk]

Thanks, I just gotta say your dog a big boy now, he heading to the big 10

[frozen cairn]

Yeah, can’t believe it.

He’s still a Hobbit husky, just getting a little grayer.

[autumn hawk]

Grayer than me?

[frozen cairn]

Not yet.

😉

[autumn hawk]

Ok, yeah, I responded a hour late, I was busy doing my things, like eating

[median ocean]

Got my first tattoo today and can’t stop thinking about the Lizard King skate 3 moment

[autumn hawk]

That's a fire tattoo 🔥

[dapper jetty]

Live
Laugh
Great Stars

[calm cliff]

Sick!

[topaz mural]

i already did hence why i’m asking

i got a email for the survey but no test

[frozen cairn]

if you were invited, you'd have more info. otherwise, you have to wait to be selected.

[haughty quiver]

Wrestling fans..
How yall feeling about Linda McMahon?

@rotund oasis @calm cliff

Her whole purpose is to dismantle it and put herself out of a job. Just curious at how the wrestling fans feel about this.

Graduation and progression standards should be higher. But it seems they pass through anyone these days.

[rotund oasis]

shes goated ngl. stayed out of her husbands bs. I love the fact shes next to Kane

[rotund oasis]

i dont know much on US politics ngl lol

[still nacelle]

i've found the US education system to be generally inadequate. the conservatives love people not knowing anything though, so rather than fix it, their solution is to just destroy it.

you're talking to someone who dropped out of high school due to excessive stress, my issues with the education system do not have to do with qualifications.

[haughty quiver]

I can understand. Dropping out cause of stress. I knew some people that got their GED afterwards. I knew this one dude who was about to graduate, but just hit the ‘too old, so we gotta send him home’ limit.

[still nacelle]

I got my GED as well. ...not that it's been of much use, but still.

like, y'know, i thought stuff like that was more important growing up but it turns out nobody gives a damn

[haughty quiver]

My family pushed me towards grades. I was pushed to graduate. My younger brother dropped out, and I’ve been trying to convince him to get his GED, bought him laptops for schooling, etc. for about 10 years

[still nacelle]

I am generally unmotivated, i've realized. getting out of the hospital after being told i have a heart blockage problem that makes me liable to having a heart attack doesn't help with my aspirations of doing any kind of work.

Especially when i've tried and I either get nothing, or I get an interview and i'm asked "why now?" due to my age, or I get an interview, the manager isn't even there, and then i find out a few days later that they decided they just don't need to hire anyone actually.

[haughty quiver]

This is reasonable

[still nacelle]

It's like nobody wants me to work. So why should I.

It sucks ass anyway.

[haughty quiver]

But this is totally reasonable. I don’t think anyone should expect you to do more than what you could reasonably handle

[still nacelle]

yeah, but what i can reasonably handle now is...basically nothing.

[haughty quiver]

Where are you from?

[still nacelle]

Florida.

[haughty quiver]

Have you applied for disability or something else. If so.. what did they say?

[still nacelle]

I've started a Social Security Disability application, but i've gotten nothing so far, I don't even have an exact diagnosis for my issue.

[haughty quiver]

Ah. I see. You’d need that exact diagnosis. It’s hard to get in some places

[still nacelle]

Also, recent news about Social Security makes me wonder if I should even bother, seems like it is falling victim to """Government Efficiency""".

[haughty quiver]

Idk.

I’d like to trust that a lot of that won’t be touched. And we will see a few months from now how people are affected. My grandma has SS, United healthcare, and a lot of other government programs after you turn 65. So she will let me know when something happens

[still nacelle]

Eh, I've heard they're looking at slashing like 7000 employees and that'll cause service interruptions for like 72 million people.

which is a lot for an agency that's never missed a monthly payment for over 80 years.

[haughty quiver]

It really just depends on the news you are absorbing. Both sides are biased and will either try to tell you everything is bad or it is good. My grandma calls me every week and I keep up with everything that she experiences through her programs

I wouldn’t worry too much, unless you’re personally getting affected by it. Then preach it.

[still nacelle]

i mean my grandma gets social security

and currently that is how we are paying for literally any bills because right now my uncle isn't working

[haughty quiver]

Why is this striked out btw? Any reason?

[still nacelle]

tbh seems like a topic the server would hate

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[haughty quiver]

That’s how my grandma buys her groceries and toothpaste, medications, anything.

[still nacelle]

yeah

[haughty quiver]

Could be true. That’s why I’m just trying to be neutral as possible. Idk where other people are coming from or how they’re affected

[still nacelle]

to be honest, I find being neutral to be for cowards, for a lack of a better term.

but i'm sure you could guess that, considering the pfp.

[haughty quiver]

But I like to listen to both sides

I’m a peace seeker

[still nacelle]

I don't because the other side wants people like me to not exist anymore.

[haughty quiver]

Idk. I think a lot of people fall into the center and only the extreme sides think that peace can’t be reached

[still nacelle]

i mean i just wanna be able to exist, but that is apparently a crime to some people, i don't think there's much of any common ground there.

you're easy to ignore when you don't have a stance on anything.

easy to project onto.

anyways i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, i should probably sleep.

[haughty quiver]

Gnite and good luck

[calm cliff]

I don't know enough to really have an opinion at the moment

[calm cliff]

Yessir

[haughty quiver]

All I've seen so far is pre-orders for standard and deluxe

[calm cliff]

Go to best buy or Amazon for CE

[haughty quiver]

Ah. Thanks.

[frozen cairn]

Wait - there's a CE?!?

[calm cliff]

Same as 1+2 yup!

I can't post links, but I tried! Lol

[frozen cairn]

Link me in my DMs

[frozen cairn]

LINK ME OR GET OUT

lol

A hero comes along

[haughty quiver]

lmao. He did try to post the link but it wouldn't let him

[frozen cairn]

I may buy on PS5 because I bet it's gonna hit Game Pass day 1

[haughty quiver]

https://a.co/d/4rIfT8X

Good idea. But I don't have a ps5. lol. Looks like they have a switch version too

[frozen cairn]

I should've gotten 1&2 when it dropped.

[haughty quiver]

There's still some collectors editions being sold on eBay as brand new. Seem to be the same price as when it was released

[calm cliff]

Sorry had to do something at work lol

[calm cliff]

It's super cheap now

[frozen cairn]

Pre-ordered and 1&2 Collector's arrives next Friday.
Nice.

[haughty quiver]

You were right

[frozen cairn]

It's an Xbox studio. Of course it's gonna hit Game Pass day 1.

[solar zodiac]

I'm so hyped

[calm cliff]

Problem is

I need it on the 8th

[haughty quiver]

Someone posted this but I couldn't find this excerpt on their website

[calm cliff]

I saw it somewhere

[haughty quiver]

I hope the '2 minute' format only stays on 3. It's gonna kill all my hype if they're not gonna add the npc challenges in 4

[calm cliff]

They said across both games

[haughty quiver]

It was too good to be true

Dreams killed in 12 hours

[calm cliff]

I'm bummed about that part

[haughty quiver]

Introducing THUG 1+2, remade in glorious 4k and streamlined goals in an epic 2 minute format!

[calm cliff]

Ill go to jail

[haughty quiver]

We will see in about 5 more years

[haughty quiver]

Loading.. Disappointment.

[calm cliff]

Id march straight to the developers and chain my self to their door if they did thug dirty with 2 min format lmao

I wonder... because Bam is in 4 and has Bam specific challenges, you think that influenced this change of just doing 2 min format for thps 4?

[haughty quiver]

Idk. It's crazy they'd do that whole game like that because of Bam.

I'd like to know what they were thinking when they were having the conversation of 'which do you think the fans will like more? The PS1 version of THPS4 maybe?'

It had to come up in conversation at some point of which version to do.

Imagine if Skate ever did a remake, and they removed all the challenges because of someone like Chris Cole

[calm cliff]

It's basically thps3 with a dlc of thps 4 maps lol

Or classic mode on thps 4 maps

[calm cliff]

Wait did CC do something bad or just an example of a name?

TK would be the example there lol

[frozen cairn]

A Google may have some info. (lots of allegations - but I'm not gonna share gossip without evidence)

[calm cliff]

Lmao be nice Jeff! I was just trying to converse about it but yea, we don't need to talk about it here for sure

[haughty quiver]

'We were gonna remake they story mode, but TK...' lol

[frozen cairn]

I was trying to be vague. SORRY.

[calm cliff]

haha I'm just busting your chops

[dreamy oasis]

can anyone help with the sellout acheivement on skate 3 xbox pretty sure you cant do it anymore or so ive heard on reddit

[frozen cairn]

#skate-3

[dreamy oasis]

thx jeff

[frozen cairn]

fo sho

[haughty quiver]

i wonder how many people preordered it thinking it was gonna be a remake of the xbox version of thps4

and i wonder when they'll find out.

[haughty quiver]

@calm cliff what you think of this screenshot?

notice that the parade is happening. also.. a lot of screenshots are showing NPCs walking around / playing basketball, etc.

it also looks like theyre comparing it to the PS2 version.

[calm cliff]

Oh you mean instead of ps1?

Saying xbox version threw me off lol

[haughty quiver]

yea. cause PS1 is the 2 minute version. lol. but look at the screenshot i posted.

there still might be hope.. unless theres something you know that idk.

[calm cliff]

I'm gonna say it's not a moving parade (unless the video shows it moving)

And they just wanted to fill some dead space

[haughty quiver]

i dont think the parade layout shows up in the trailer. its just plain college campus.

[calm cliff]

Idk anything besides some soundtrack stuff, that's my only insider info and it's minimal lol

[haughty quiver]

the bad thing is.. every screenshot ive seen posted of the college level is during the parade

[calm cliff]

Is it moving or static?

[haughty quiver]

im just looking at screenshots. i didnt see a parade in the trailer. so idk

here.. you can see the NPCs playing basketball.

[calm cliff]

Which matches original thps 4 and they weren't interactable

(Totally a word)

[haughty quiver]

yea. lol.

heres another of college with the parade.

what if they do remake the right one.. and people just worrying over nothing.

lol.

im watching the trailer. and yea.. the parade map is all through the beginning.

[haughty quiver]

i viewed it wrong i guess. lol

but hes also skitching a car in the beginning. it COULD BE the professors car. but who knows. lol

[haughty quiver]

i know in my heart what it probably is.

[calm cliff]

LOL

it won't have OG thps4 career and it is what it is in my mind

[haughty quiver]

Is the Xbox version considered OG? Did the PS1 version come after?

[calm blade]

Honestly I expected this

I did want the career mode from 4 to be back fully, but, I'm happy we're getting all the maps from 4 at least

[haughty quiver]

me too. unfortunately.

[calm blade]

It doesn't bother me too much as I tended to use a cheat code to unlock all the maps and just do the arcade mode, because I got stuck on the second map iirc, so I know most of these maps through the arcade mode

or, whenever Alcatraz was

Even then I played THPS 4 so much

[haughty quiver]

thps4 on xbox was basically my childhood. would be a shame.

[haughty quiver]

you got stuck on alcatraz?

its a hard map. dont get me wrong.

there was a couple challenges.. that went from the top of the map to bottom that were difficult.

[edgy ember]

Hi Toasty

[haughty quiver]

hello

[edgy ember]

You having a good night?

[haughty quiver]

alcatraz is the 3rd level.

[calm blade]

That's where I got stuck!

I just couldn't do some of the missions

[haughty quiver]

its alright. listening to m&m. been playing thps 3 and 4 to get caught up.

[haughty quiver]

alcatraz is hard depending on what you do.

i dont think you have to do EVERYTHING to make it to the next level. i could be wrong

[calm blade]

Well tbh I sucked at the game back then, and I haven't play it since aside from co-op with my brother about a year ago

[calm blade]

You didn't, but my young mind couldn't comprehend that lol

Even now in games I tend to do every possible thing I can do before moving on lol

[haughty quiver]

i feel you. if you do it like that. alcatraz is a really hard level.

[calm blade]

If I get a memory card for my PS2, and the weather cools down, I think I'll play some THPS 4 to finally finish the career mode, unless it's available in THPS 3+4

[haughty quiver]

a memory card for PS2.. weather cools..

[calm blade]

I lost all my old memory cards for my PS2, and it's still currently Sumner in Australia

When I realised I didn't have my memory cards anymore I just immediately thought "there goes my completed thug 2 save"

[haughty quiver]

its so crazy.. because memory cards havent been a thing for a long time.

[calm blade]

Now we can have terabytes worth of game data on a little block that gets really hot

[haughty quiver]

when memory cards were a thing.. i just saved 'passcodes' or 'passwords' for my games... like on Twisted Metal 3

i never had any memory cards.

i was broke

on gamecube.. i would play Smash Bros Melee.. where you have to play for 20 hours or whatever to unlock MEWTWO. but.. i didnt have any memory card.. so i would leave the console on.. and just let it play for that amount of time. and unlock Mewtwo. BUT.. i had to do that every other day..

[calm blade]

Damn, ngl I'd do that too if I didn't have access to memory cards

[haughty quiver]

so if i wanted to play with mewtwo.. id have to prepare for that for like.. 20 hours before.

[edgy ember]

Heck yeah

[haughty quiver]

so i had to beat the games in one setting.

[calm blade]

How much were memory cards back when those old consoles were still new?

[haughty quiver]

i really dont know. i would have to mow lawns. over weekends. eventually i could save up for a gameboy advance, or a game.. etc.

i would get $10 for mowing a huge lawn. and i would save that up.

gameboy advance was like 60-70$ then

the games were like $30

[calm blade]

Damn, I had a retro store near me when I was growing up, so I was able to get games for pretty cheap, 10-20 AUD

This was around about the early 2010s

[haughty quiver]

okay. i feel this too. when i had a sega genesis. we had this store called 'ingles'. and you could go in there and buy sega genesis games for like '$5 to $10' discount rack

but.. i also had the 'sonic and knuckles' cartridge.. where you could open up the top... attach an old sonic cart to it.. and it would change the game.

[calm blade]

I remember watching videos about that, that was cool sounding

I also thought that could be done with discs so I put 2 discs on-top of each other in the PS2 disc drive

[haughty quiver]

idk about discs. but carts.. you could.

[calm blade]

not possible with discs that's for sure, I'm pretty sure I messed up one of my favourite games doing that

Crusty Demons, or THUG 2

I absolutely loved Crusty Demons on the PS2

Yeah, daredevil group iirc?

They actually had a show at my town, it was awesome

[haughty quiver]

im not sure. ever played road rash?

its like a motorcycle racing game.. but you kick people while youre racing or hit them bats or chains

[calm blade]

I've heard of it but never played it, I've wanted to play it and Road Redemption

Yeah, similar to Wreckfest I believe it's a spiritual successor

Or, just a fan project that's a love letter, can't remember

[haughty quiver]

idk about wreckfest. 'road rash' series

[calm blade]

Yeah this game looked really fun when I watched videos on it

I hope it gets added to the Classics Catalogue for PS+

[frozen cairn]

Road Rash and Skitchin’ were insane. So much fun.

(Road Rash on rollerblades while holding onto cars)

[haughty quiver]

I never played this.. but if it's like that.. sounds really fun. I at least wanna try it out

[queen patio]

Off-topic help me please

[calm cliff]

Ill have to try skitchin! Never seen that before

[haughty quiver]

of course you can't stack discs. lol. But it seems like back then.. I remember a game that had more features, etc. if you had a save file from a specific other game.

[calm cliff]

Yes!

[calm cliff]

Sorry have to make a joke about this

"And you just got removed from the playtest"

(Im sure not actually but it's so funny when I see this)

[edgy ember]

It's wild how many people will sign an NDA without reading it and some without even knowing what an NDA is

[haughty quiver]

Everything about the process screams not to talk about it. I don't see how people can miss it. It tells you at like every single step

[frozen cairn]

It used to get me annoyed. Now I just laugh and play Playtest Access Whack-a-Mole.

https://tenor.com/view/look-smile-smirk-breezy-moves-ornery-gif-3520545

[calm cliff]

Haha diabolical

[haughty quiver]

The tony hawk team is gonna have to clarify the thps4 game. Everything they post.. the comments are asking about thps4.

You know they see it. They can't ignore it at this point

[calm cliff]

agree

[haughty quiver]

They might not wanna say, cause they can read the room.

But still. They need to just rip off the bandaid if that's the case

I bet we will know within a week.

[calm cliff]

i hope so

[haughty quiver]

looks like they added on to the parade

they added field goals to the middle. flags to the wires. confetti. and i dont see the waves float

plus all the balloons.

[calm cliff]

not sure what ya mean

[haughty quiver]

I'm just showing some comparisons. The old floats didn't have the field goals onto the float, or flags, etc.

[calm cliff]

Oh i thought that was a screenshot

i now see its a video lol

[still nacelle]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TmKTWliOGQ8 so cool, man.

[left silo]

Hey guys! I'm trying to come up with a username based on skating, skateboard, tony hawk games, tricks etc anything sk8 themed. Max 14 characters. I've tried AI but looking for human creativity. Any1 got some creative suggestions? Send it here or send me a PM.

[solar zodiac]

I think I might actually still have the disc... Might need to boot it up for nostalgia sake at this point from everything I'm reading about it

[solar zodiac]

Are there any tricks in particular you like the most?

[left silo]

Nah, I'm down for whatever

[light ether]

Anyone know of “True Skate”? Really similar to THPS and Skate. too!

[normal hill]

i wish blitz the leauge 2 was still on the microsoft store

[sharp cradle]

So much fun! Road Rash was also a classic. When it dropped on Playstation and had Soundgarden Rusty Cage intro... so good.

[fierce apex]

half life 2 is a bit overrated

it is good but too hyped

[mossy delta]

https://youtu.be/ZeFdAAf6qWU This made me giggle ngl

[surreal knoll]

love true skate but lost my old Apple ID and I refuse to pay for it again :/

1.99 ain’t bad tho now im contemplating

[light ether]

I thought it was free and the skateparks were the only IAP’s?

[surreal knoll]

It used to be : ( now it’s behind a paywall but you get more to start

[calm cliff]

@haughty quiver

It's official

[haughty quiver]

What? 2 minute I bet

[calm cliff]

Activision confirms THPS4 in THPS 3+4 will not have the original career mode. "Instead, like in the first three games, each THPS4 level will feature a list of challenges to complete in a 2-minute run." https://t.co/5kk5HNcOsr

[haughty quiver]

I'm not even shocked. I expect companies to fumble easy bags

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 3.5

[calm cliff]

Lmao legit

[haughty quiver]

What a mess and tragedy. What were they thinking?

[haughty quiver]

Can't wait to see them do THUG now. lol

[calm cliff]

Pump out a game, that's what they were thinking. It'll still be fun and I'll love it. Just a little bummed

[haughty quiver]

My hype is gone. I'll still play it one day

I'm not even worried about the collectors edition. I'll find it on discount probably. Even the THPS1+2 still has brand new collectors editions

I could just play it on gamepass

They had 5 years since the last game, right?

This seems like more than just pumping out a game. Guess it depends when they started on it

I've been replaying THPS4. I just realized that the board gets worn down. I forgot all about that

I think it eventually breaks if you bail

[calm cliff]

Yea 2020

idk if that happens. in thug they introduce the rage meter and you can break it but idk if it ever broke based on a bail. or i just never noticed lol

[haughty quiver]

It might be random. You have the bail the right way. I haven't seen it yet, but I also didn't notice the board getting worn down. lol

[calm cliff]

def clip it if it happens

what console are you on?

[haughty quiver]

Xbox

I think there's an instant replay if it happens. I'll just have to pay attention. I really zone out when it comes to the bail animations

I can't believe them dude. They had a golden egg. And they just smashed it on the ground

[calm cliff]

lmaoo i am also upsetti

Do you hop on thaw or thugpro? any interest in playing online in a bit?

[haughty quiver]

Never played thugpro. I seen some people talking about 'rethawed'?

[solar zodiac]

It probably was way easier development wise to make it in that format than it was to remake 3 and then have 4 completely different. Like I get it from that perspective. It's a remake of 3+4 not 3 and 4.

But I'm still super bummed about it

[calm cliff]

sorry i meant rethawed, not thawpro, but that's what it is essentiallyu

[solar zodiac]

[haughty quiver]

I never play online on most games. I'll do call of duty online. But yea.

[calm cliff]

look into it

for you, rethawed

you can play the entire actual game AND revamped online and there are always people on

[haughty quiver]

I'm just gonna say it.. it's BS! and that doesn't mean 'backside'

[calm cliff]

hahaa

[haughty quiver]

It's not thps4. No matter what they call it.

[solar zodiac]

It's 3 with bonus dlc

[calm cliff]

exactly

[haughty quiver]

Oh well. I'm playing on Xbox in glorious 720p, upscale to 4k

lol. Yea. Thps3 with thps4 maps

[calm cliff]

you have an external upscaler?

[solar zodiac]

Honestly never been a fan of the timed format in general. I'm surprised that's something they stuck with.

[haughty quiver]

Yea. I got an upscaler that goes from 480/720 to 1080p. Removes the jaggies. Etc. 'Mcable'. And then I have one that upscales it to 4k.. more enhancements, depth, more smoothed jaggies. (Not the 4k gamer pro, a different one) @calm cliff

That's why my Skate 2 gameplay looks crisp compared to native

[calm cliff]

I like it for the games that it is in

lmk what that is i might be interested in that

are you on og xbox or 360?

[solar zodiac]

I just double checked and yeah, that's why I loved Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure for the Xbox. Just like thps4 with no timed format. Just skate and enjoy the maps and then do missions

[haughty quiver]

I took some comparison shots between native skate 2 vs my upscaled footage. I just gotta find them

[haughty quiver]

Og xbox for thps4. But og xbox runs certain games at 720p. I think it does it with thps4

Ps2 is like.. 480i or something

[calm cliff]

oh cool, i have 360 so i guess it wouldnt help much

disney skate is a goat

[solar zodiac]

I thought you meant you were playing thps4 on the One and got excited that it might be backwards compatible

[calm cliff]

ahh nah sorry!

[solar zodiac]

Yeah... Because I actually do still have my disc

[haughty quiver]

If you run the 360 in 720p. Then use an mcable or mclassic to upscale to 1080p with the AA, etc. Then use another 4k upscaler that adds depth, more AA etc... it comes out looking really crisp

[calm cliff]

I do too! i have a disc for every version of tony hawk on every console they all ever released on

[calm cliff]

this hurt my brain

[haughty quiver]

It's all external and real time with no lag

I'll just have to show you. lol.

[calm cliff]

yea it doesnt sound that bad if its just plug and play "no pun intended"

[haughty quiver]

Yea. Plug and play

[haughty quiver]

This first image is native skate 2, no upscaling

[calm cliff]

Okay i was thinking there was software involved for some reason like you also had to go thru your computer but now typing it out, it sounds silly

[haughty quiver]

This is with my upscalers to 4k

Zoom in on the feet, hat, deck, etc. Pay attention to jaggies or whatever

[calm cliff]

Oh wow

that is noticeable

[haughty quiver]

It's even better in person when on a 4k monitor

It does the same thing with my og xbox and tony hawk 4

[calm cliff]

that is encouraging

[haughty quiver]

My 1080p to 4k upscaler is a 'DVDO micro'. I got it for $20. But they stopped selling them, and now they're expensive. I also have some comparisons with a 4k gamer pro upscaler instead of a DVDO if you're interested.

[solar zodiac]

I've always been skeptical of upscale stuff but that does look nice

[pine warren]

is that skater xl

[haughty quiver]

skate 2

4k gamer pro is left. dvdo is right. 4k gamer pro keeps the colors as they should be. dvdo brightens it.

but dvdo smoothens the jagged edges more.

[haughty quiver]

me too. but i did a lot of research and testing. these things are legit.

its pretty noticeable between no upscale (left) and my full 4k upscalers (right)

i cant go back from this. lol

i wish i could hook everything up to an nvidia shield and use their AI upscaling. that would be the best. but theres no way to do it that i can figure out.

for this upscaling.. youre looking at about $200 for everything. but its just plug and play. i paid about.. $50 altogether searching for deals.

[solar zodiac]

The difference is crazy. It's so hazy without it!

[fallen topaz]

Just played 4 Hours of Split Fiction and wow what an incredible game, the variations of gameplay and the settings the game throws you into is incredible.

Didn’t thought they could top It Takes Two but they did.

Definitely recommend everyone who has a buddy, girlfriend or whoever to play this game!

[haughty quiver]

thats what im saying. i cant go back

[light ether]

Is it GOTY contender?

[fallen topaz]

Oh for sure, i would be suprised if it wouldn’t be nominated for goty.

[solar zodiac]

I was going to play it last night but the download took a bit too long before bed so I'm looking forward to playing it tonight

[fallen topaz]

Hope you enjoy it as much as i did

[solar zodiac]

I have a feel I will. It Takes Two was so much fun, I've been wanting another game like that to pop up

[fallen topaz]

Oh well then you gonna have a blast ! Theres so much secret stuff in that game as well so definitely keep an eye out and take your time with the levels

[tulip blade]

Has there been any info on the soundtrack for the new skate

[edgy ember]

No

But it'll be fire

I say that because I like most music

[fallen locust]

i assume bad nerves are gunna be in the game which i very excited about

[plucky coral]

what are bad nerves?

[potent nest]

I hope Tyler the Creator drops some music for it

[haughty quiver]

Thps 3+3.5

[normal hill]

Anyone who used to play games on this site is in unc status

Band that was in pt highlights a couple months avo

[calm cliff]

@haughty quiver

What about the pro goals....

Playing thps 4 and already had the base career completed so im onto pro goals. Just completed college. Never noticed the Nokia blimp before.

Also... board is super worn but hasn't broken

[haughty quiver]

yea. i didnt notice the nokia blimp until i started replaying

i havent got it to break yet either. lol

[haughty quiver]

i really dont know. they could get away with replacing some skaters, goals, etc. i dont think it would have to be a perfect remake. it would be better than a 2 minute run remake.

[calm cliff]

It really is gonna be 3.5 lol

[haughty quiver]

I wonder if there's a way to land or do something on the Nokia blimp? I think it passes over the spot where Tony hawk wants you to learn a trick on top of the building

[haughty quiver]

That's what it seems like

[calm cliff]

Nah it's too high up. I just did the pro challenge on top of the building, still much higher

https://www.reddit.com/r/THPS/s/zHCGO6ik4y

Oof... "authentically remade" not a good choice of words

The thps reddit has been up in arms lately it's nuts

[haughty quiver]

They're up in arms everywhere. That's why I'm saying that the tony hawk team just can't ignore it. 'Authentically remade' lol

The team should've known it was gonna be like this

Go look at their recent Twitter post and just scroll through the comments

This is a reply to a post about their taco bell collab

Well here ya go toasty

[karmic glen]

We used to run our wheels ragged!

I’m a photographer now. My cousin with his long board

But that was long ago. No new skate photos sadly

[haughty quiver]

This collection is so beast. I like how those 2 skate decks are almost identical. I didn't know skate 1 made that deck too

That coach frank deck has seen better days

[calm cliff]

Yea I think it was few and far then they ended up producing the skate 2 one as a giveaway deck

[haughty quiver]

Looks like it got left in the sun

[prisma harness]

God I want the one on the far left so bad

[calm cliff]

Yea it's the only one that's popped up for me so I had to snag it. Eventually I'll get a better one but idc about condition all that much

The purple one? Year 2 for the new skate

[karmic glen]

That comic panel one is SICK!

[calm cliff]

You can see it in the background of cuz's videos alot and in the boardrooms

[haughty quiver]

Yea. I never seen it for sale. I have a magazine that had an advertisement for it tho. I have the yellow coach frank tho

[calm cliff]

Woah! When you can, send me a pic of the mag I'd love to see that. I'd consider that paraphernalia for the game too, I love little odd things like that

Yea I need the 1800coachfrank still

Jeff has that one too

[haughty quiver]

Speaking of the year 2 deck. Look at this controller design. The same dude who designed the year one controller

He also has a different year 1 controller than we got. It looks like wood on the handles

[haughty quiver]

It's not a full ad. It's got a bunch of other boards for sale too. They just included the coach frank deck in it

[calm cliff]

Yea ive seen Pop post those, tried to dm them about those designs but no answer :/

[calm cliff]

Still wanna see it eventually!

[haughty quiver]

I'm looking for it right now. Lol. I gotta go through all the pages of all my mags

[calm cliff]

Dont go crazy haha. If you come across it one day

[haughty quiver]

Transworld December 2010

[frozen cairn]

It’s a sticker overlay. The second batch were machined.

[calm cliff]

So cool

[haughty quiver]

The wood part is a sticker or...?

[frozen cairn]

Yeah.

I think it’s mainly an overlay sticker across the controller.

[fierce apex]

i though it was printed like all of the controllers

[frozen cairn]

When Pope switched manufacturing companies, it was more machined.

[haughty quiver]

Ah. That's still cool tho. I thought it was painted or whatever on that controller

The new batch is the better ones then

[cold lion]

Intermediate ball knowledge to understand this one right here

Hint:airplane

[edgy ember]

That's sick

[haughty quiver]

escape from alcatraz

[karmic glen]

Guy was cruising down South Beach in Miami

[haughty quiver]

what was the temperature? its still cold here.

one of my best friends is from miami.

[karmic glen]

It’s cold. This photo was from last year.

I’m from Lehigh so about 3 hours from miami

[light ether]

Anyone know of Skate City and Skate City NY?

Or BRC?

[kind breach]

@haughty quiver im not even getting close

if you can get enough speed from this roof its probably possible

[haughty quiver]

could work. but you really gotta launch to left

[haughty quiver]

kona - snake run - thps 4 - xbox
i hate this goal

[cosmic spire]

That looks super fun!!!

[haughty quiver]

its not. lol.

this is one of the worst goals in thps4.

[cosmic spire]

Slalom stuff has always been fun to me in certain games

Except certain Gran Turismo games 😭

[haughty quiver]

try it. lol.

youll change your mind about this one.

[bold prawn]

nice

i’m still working on getting mine up there

[nimble hornet]

i probably still have a few lot of games of the PS2

my old one broke in 2023 while playing Shaolin Monks

[haughty quiver]

Booted up the old pc.

[bold prawn]

cool

[nimble hornet]

dayum

does it have something else on it?

[bold prawn]

don’t put it online tho

[haughty quiver]

old games that dont work on newer windows

[nimble hornet]

oh

[haughty quiver]

nah. lol

[nimble hornet]

man

the server doesn't let me send something Dead Space related

:(

is there a Dead Space discord btw?

YAY

i love Dead Space for the phone

it's so cool

[bold prawn]

i’m on wolfenstien rn

[nimble hornet]

nice. which one of all?

[bold prawn]

new order

[nimble hornet]

when you enter the game. the brightness get's so high

[old swift]

Is this real

[fierce apex]

you can play them if you trick them that you are in windows 7

and you can do it offically

[timber depot]

it’s not the right timer but for sure !

[edgy ember]

That's cool as hell

[old swift]

So is a real timer but that one is photoshopped

[haughty quiver]

It doesn't always work depending on the game. I've still had to do things for certain old games like using only 1 core of my cpu, just to get them to run. I can't remember exactly what game I can't to get to run on my modern PC at all.

I got it on disc somewhere

[fierce apex]

i also have a game disc

only one of them works

[haughty quiver]

lol.

[fierce apex]

and it's about city simulator

without the people

and trains

it's very fun

[haughty quiver]

Sounds peaceful. City with no people

[fierce apex]

i extracted the file off the disc so i can play it with 200 fps

which i did legally

[serene elm]

I feel its a lot of skate youtubers that playtested it but singed and nda and say the didn't

[haughty quiver]

im excited for the early access. i cant wait for everyone to be able to play this year.

[surreal flame]

yeah, i've been waiting years for it to release

i can't wait

[haughty quiver]

gonna be fun

[timber depot]

what’s coming first thps or early access 🌚

[surreal flame]

what's thps?

[left silo]

I skated soo many reynolds pairs. Wow, the tie dye is done soo well on these pairs

[surreal flame]

oh tony hawk

[haughty quiver]

no one knows when skate early access is coming. just sometime this year.

[bold prawn]

July 7th it shows on xbox

[surreal flame]

i always thought the tony hawk games were too arcadey for me

[haughty quiver]

these are my favorite.

[bold prawn]

it might be june 11th if i read the month wrong but i swear it says july 11th

[bold prawn]

i wish i had the skate etnies

[left silo]

@haughty quiver

[haughty quiver]

youre right. i had to look it up. i always get june and july mixed. july 11th

[left silo]

These are the only “skate” shoe I ever owned irl

[bold prawn]

July 7th is the early access for it if you get the digital deluxe then

[timber depot]

same, but i had a dream where i was inside a game looking like thps physics then i bought thps 1+2 😼

[haughty quiver]

yea. you get the demo early or something

[left silo]

Hahah yeah , the weeknd 💯

[bold prawn]

no it’s the full game you just get to play a few days before the standard releases for everyone

[haughty quiver]

crazy. i guess it worth the preorder if youre excited for it then

[left silo]

Woahh then i wonder when Foundry demo drops

[haughty quiver]

i had pre ordered tony hawk 1+2. but idk if ill do it this time. might just wait for gamepass

[bold prawn]

it’s gonna be on gamepass so i’m getting the deluxe content upgrade for like $18 on xbox cuz it’s got the gamepass sale of 10%

[haughty quiver]

what are these? arent these just regular adidas?

dennis had some 'high score' adidas and his skate character was on the bottom

[left silo]

SO! They are not “skate. marketed” shoes but benny fairfax got to do a campus midtop with corduroy shoe specifically because he got recruited into ea skate 3 and wore them for the game

Limited time to buy them and i got them! But skated them into oblivion 😭

I was 15 in 2010 and didnt think about future preservation

[left silo]

The insoles were skate. related

[haughty quiver]

nice.

i remember when adidas started really making skate shoes. it was sorta surprising that brand would move to skate shoes.

like new balance. i never thought new balance would make skate shoes either

[left silo]

Same with NB! I never saw that coming

[haughty quiver]

when i pick a shoe i actually wanna wear.. the nike janoskis are always my go-to

[haughty quiver]

if i wouldve known this. i probably wouldve bought them too.

[haughty quiver]

these are the hardest ones to find. you shouldve seen how dirty they were before i cleaned/restored them

they were '$30 used'.. and they were so dirty and scuffed.

before (left) vs after (right)

not bad for $30 and some dry cleaning

[bold prawn]

what did you use for the sole whitening

[haughty quiver]

i just used some soap and soft bristle horse brush

[bold prawn]

ok

[haughty quiver]

i used a soft horse brush for most of the shoe. but the only thing extra for the sole is soap

[bold prawn]

cuz i’m tryna restore some old airforce 1s i have and the sole is so oxidized

[haughty quiver]

if you scrub too hard.. the white comes off. its actually blue underneath like the bottom of the shoe.

[haughty quiver]

ive seen some shoe restorations. a lot of those shoes.. they use some kind of mixture / uv light to brighten it like they do for old yellow consoles.

[split sand]

I used to watch all your skate 2 streams still be tuning into the vids when you post you’re the goat 🔥

[haughty quiver]

thank you.

just trying to push the limits

[bold prawn]

it’s solon care volume 40 they use on the shoes i ended up just buying some that’s gonna be here wednesday

[haughty quiver]

is that what they use? then they wrap in seran wrap and let it bake in the sun?

[bold prawn]

yeah

it’s like $5 on amazon

at least for me it was

[calm cliff]

Worst ever

[solar zodiac]

So I went on my first long ride on my motorcycle yesterday. I'm so sore today! I underestimated how much strength I'd use holding my self up and staying on with how brutal the headwind was

[frozen cairn]

Blast from the past

[frozen cairn]

Dude, that’s awesome!

Long rides will help you find muscles you didn’t know, then hurt them.

[solar zodiac]

Fresh fresh!

[edgy ember]

Dude this pic is legendary. Also sick shirt

[solar zodiac]

I keep this up, my neck might end up like an F1 racer lol

[edgy ember]

Heck yeah

[haughty quiver]

all these look brand new. no scratches on the disc.

i have the twisted metal series in the greatest hits green label too

i think that castlevania might be worth something. the whole thing is like brand new.

[edgy ember]

That's awesome. I picked up some CDs today. Amo by BMTH, Notorious BIG Ready To Die with a DVD, and In Search of by N.E.R.D

[haughty quiver]

thats nice. have you got sempiternal yet? the artwork inside the book is really cool

[edgy ember]

I don't yet but a buddy has it. I want that one. I looked through the booklet. It's so sick

[haughty quiver]

its a really good album. i have it put up somewhere.

im planning on buying all the discs. i have a whole watchlist on ebay with everything i dont have

idk about the live at royale album tho. so expensive.

and i think theres like.. 2 or 3 versions of it. of course i want the one thats most rare if im gonna pay that much anyway.

[edgy ember]

Truth. It's so high

[haughty quiver]

at some point.. they had a version with the sony logo on the back. i (think) thats probably the rare one.

[edgy ember]

I think so

[haughty quiver]

heres my titanfall setup @frozen cairn
we were talking about the controller the other day

[frozen cairn]

DOOD. I got that same skin!
And controller

[haughty quiver]

its a really nice color scheme. lol. i had to get it

they were cooking with that design. so cool

[edgy ember]

That is awesome

[haughty quiver]

@edgy ember

i had to record the first 2 parts after i finished. because shadowplay has been screwing me over. i thought i had the shadowplay problems figured out.. but obviously not. idk whats wrong with it.

[edgy ember]

Heck yeah! Dude that looks so tedious. I see why it took forever. Glad you got it!

[haughty quiver]

the last part.. its so quick at the end.

[edgy ember]

Dude for real. Those turns are tedious af. You turn and then can't even think about what's next. You just gotta act on it

[haughty quiver]

yea. exactly. lol. you have the remember the exact layout, and even then its hard to dodge in time.

[velvet wharf]

yo toasty no way, love your videos man!! always watched your videos when i was a teenager, keep up the good work brother!

[edgy ember]

Truth there

[haughty quiver]

@edgy ember I got weathered. The one that's missing.. I can't remember the name of. But its in the cd player from the last time I listened to it

These are all classics tho. Human clay and my own prison

[haughty quiver]

thanks dude.

[edgy ember]

Heck yes! I have Weathered and Greatest Hits. I really want Human Clay. Is HC the one?

[haughty quiver]

human clay has with arms wide open and higher on it

the pic is a little blurry. but its got the tracks listed

[edgy ember]

Oh. I didn't zoom in lol. I was asking if that one was in the CD player. Didn't realize it was right there

[haughty quiver]

idk whats in the cd player. lol. its probably the next one after weathered

full circle i guess?

[edgy ember]

I want that one. That ones awesome

[haughty quiver]

the disc says 'www.creed(.)com'. i went to it. looks like theyre having a 2025 tour going on.

[edgy ember]

Yep. Expensive and mostly sold out nearby

I need a creed hat

[haughty quiver]

yea. i would have to go to the next state over. whats the ticket cost?

[edgy ember]

I dont remember. Ill check

[edgy ember]

Doesnt look that bad actually. Last year, prices were insane. General admission floor looks like $60-80

I'm not going to it

Prices are good, I just dont want to unless other friends go

[haughty quiver]

i just looked it up. its $349 for a ticket at the stage. 159 right behind that

[edgy ember]

If i go to a concert, I wanna be as close as I can get. I want my moneys worth lol

[haughty quiver]

$32 if you wanna be as far away from the band as possible

[haughty quiver]

yea. when i went to bring me the horizon concert. i was right there at the stage. front row. it was only $20 at the door

[edgy ember]

Thats amazing

[haughty quiver]

you paid and picked your spot. it was same price for everyone

[haughty quiver]

i dont think tickets get that low anymore. i had to drive 4 hours.. not knowing if there was gonna be tickets available.

[edgy ember]

Dedication paid off!

Thats awesome

[haughty quiver]

dude. we were in this sedan. with 5 people packed in the car. and then another dude was riding in the trunk because there was no more room.

[edgy ember]

That sounds hilarious yet uncomfortable haha. Now that is dedication. Sounds like it would be in a comedy movie

[haughty quiver]

we told him to knock if he needed anything.

[haughty quiver]

i think that was the same concert that architects was at. we got our $20 worth

[edgy ember]

Thats good. Sounds like a fun time

[sonic mortar]

Yoo I have a question

[solar zodiac]

Those look so good!

[uncut umbra]
