    I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

    Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.

    My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

    I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

    While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

    The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

    Is that irritating?



  • We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

    There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

    I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

    If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

    It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

    I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

    And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.


  • I had attempted a back flip off a kicker ramp propped up on the curb (into grass, it was to learn how, lol)

    Anyway, I go UP, flip and land halfway over with my head contacting the curb.

    It gave me a concussion, and took a chunk out of my helmet. I would have been dead most likely if I didn’t wear a helmet.

    I just dragged the ramp in, and went to lay down with my skates still on. I don’t remember much after that.

    I don’t recognize this, but it looks like the dude is “working” something shady.

    I wouldn’t wanna risk being stuck in a bathroom because I ate something local and don’t have the antibodies to deal with it.

    McDs is processed crap, shipped globally, with local favorites mostly avoidable. Its a safe bet. Plus, you can eat once and have your 2000 calories met for the day in 10 minutes.




  • Longest it took…

    I was in a “study hall” type class in fourth grade. The teacher ran out of material after a couple weeks. So she decided to read The Hobbit out loud to the class while we worked on homework, other quiet activities, or slept. Really, don’t give her problems, won’t be problems.

    I had already started The Hobbit on my own. At the time it was considered college level reading, so not too shabby. So, I continued reading (first time on The Hobbit) and finished WAY before the rest of the class listened. Because duh, a quick mental reader VS a teacher doing voices? No shit, Sherlock.

    A girl who sat next to me (assigned seating) brushed the hair out of her eyes, blinked expressively a few times with direct eye contact, and said I must be “one of those cool nerds;” I suppose because I finished before Bilbo left the Shire.

    It took me until college to realize. I vaguely remember considering her “kinda cute.” I could have, and in the future sure did, worse.



  • I will cheat in single player games. I give it a solid “first time” unmodded play through. If it’s good, I’ll do other “paths” or “builds” depending on the game.

    Then make it a little more… interesting, or different even.

    Then you work up to Total Conversions, and thats fucking great for longevity.

    Then at a certain point, its quality of life. I don’t want to spend 20 hours getting to the “interesting” part of the game. I can no longer get even just an hour to dive into a game uninterrupted. I love immersion; in the past it was an unhealthy escape mechanism, now when I get it, its a breath of not dealing with my day to day shit for just a little bit. Life always gets in the way of living, at least the way we want or need to in the moment. But I digress…

    But cheating in a multiplayer game really defeats the purpose of multiplayer. An unbalanced play field isn’t fun for anyone.

    I’d like to see more games embrace a modding community. If you and a few friends want to play with mods A, B, D, and F, more power to you guys. Keep enjoying that game.

    Just don’t force an imbalance on other people.


  • I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.

    I did without for a while, and it wasn’t pretty.

    Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.



  • I have one.

    Its fun.

    But on the subject of rolling codes, I was able to get through a security gate that relies on, essentially, a garage door opener.

    The exploit relied on the ridiculously low amount of rolling codes it cycled through.

    Capture one, and try it a few times to get through.

    Cars are more robust. Despite tinkering with it for about 8 hours, I wasn’t successful with defeating it. That being said, I picked up the device, in part, to start messing around with various signals as an educational tool.
