Also that thing weighs enough to anchor an oil tanker

If a car ran into it the car would be totaled and it would STILL get UHF and channel 2-9

Detectives have used it successfully for cover in a shootout.
It still played tapes the next day.

It's likely in THAT location because no one will move it

Yeah man I played Soccer in high school and that Late Fall schedule sucked ass 😭

Oh cool we START when it gets cold and rainy and then we just play straight up into the frozen earth times?

Fuuuuuuuuuck alla that.

HUGE change from AYSO's summer leagues 😭

Usually (USUALLY) the adult pets get better about the "see, I’m biting your hand!" thing and just set their teeth on you with almost zero pressure when play biting.

Had a cat though who did NOT do this and took pride in leaving near-puncture marks in your skin 😭😮‍💨

Brother I WANTED the Speed3 but I’m not forcing my driving anxiety ridden kid to learn stick on a 300hp 6-speed 😅

Next car after this will hopefully be a WRX STI so 🙏

Right after I finish getting this thing up to 300hp.

lol my buddy I sent this vid to on signal chat hit me with the "you sure know how to put the shaft into the hole" loooooool (it's even funnier because usually I'M the 12yo in the conversation)

LMAO 90 minutes of MOVIE/FILM is now "three or four cutscenes" like MY GUY, 🤣

I know he's known for LONG ASS cutscenes but this is pretty amazingly on brand for him.

Even experienced players wind up putting too much weight on the ball when trying to move it and while you don't get the "squirt" ball/person reaction of each going a different way it almost always winds up with you looking real dumb lol

Although worse is whiffing (ball is moving, you time it wrong)

This is my second! I had a 2008 that was still in pretty great shape but it got in an accident and was totalled 😭 so dis is my new baby 🥺

I love the 3s they're so great.

I could hear the levels peaking in my head and this is what leapt directly into it (more because mic position and his expression than original meaning of meme) so apologies but now you have to see it too

Am currently laughing now remembering an old radio ad from high school (which only works when everyone had radios with, you know).

"Hey kids, playing with your KNOB again?

...

KEEP IT HERE, on WXET, 99.4 FM!!!"

(See, because I’m playing with the shifter knob. KNOB? Get it? [nudge nudge])

But iOS CarPlay (what I’m running there mirrored from my phone to the head unit) is not customizable at all.

Maybe if I had an Apple Developer license, but even then I don't think I can "skin" CarPlay?
November 13, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Omg I wiiiiiiiish

The head unit is the radio replacement that is just a gigantic monitor (like a modern car radio screen; there was a traditional car radio with knobs and buttons where that screen is)

I think I can only swap out the boot up screen/animation 😭

The android side may be customizable

I hate the "what are you playing" question in interviews because I get it, we make games, but like it seems weird to ask writers "what are you reading" or ask artists "whose art books you perusing right now" or musicians "what's your favorite band" like, WHA?

Carpenters: whose framing you checking?
November 13, 2025 at 5:03 AM
Is it funnier if I also installed that head unit radio/monitor and the reverse camera featured in the shot? 😅

(It came with an older model that couldn't do CarPlay that the prev owner installed, and I couldn't update it AND I wanted a reverse camera soooooooo I installed a new head unit and camera)
