Curious and curmudgeonly, creative and crusty. Cynic in the nascent stages of recovery. Just like you, I can't do this on my own.

Not sure how to interpret this besides a bunch of Canadian geese-men in toupees staging an armed invasion of the United States. I'd watch this movie (if it weren't AI).

I'm going to turn my Autozam AZ-1 into a tiny Ford RS200. This sparks joy.

Me, autistic? Pshh. See alt text. I have a passion project around #ForzaHorizon6 I'm developing. Exploring the game purely from the perspective of the driving experience. Driving & tuning each car, exploring where the game sits in my lifelong relationship with racing games, etc.
A database of 95 different parameters for each car I own in Forza Horizon 6. There are multiple tunes for each vehicle, using the showroom stock as a baseline and an idealized hot lap around the Legend Island Time Attack circuit as a benchmark.

This is all being done by hand by me as I play the game. The goal is to create a comprehensive and fairly objective record of every car in the game, the data from which can be analyzed to find all sorts of neat information.

More importantly though, it's encouraging me to not focus on anything but the experience of driving the car. No meta, no sweating what year a car got laser-scanned, just tapping into the core experience the game is trying to deliver, an area in which I believe they have delivered transcendence. 

Gamertag is "Half A Tenth", a lot of these tunes are available and more added/updated all the time. Ultimately this is going to be a public-facing database, hopefully with content highlighting some of my favorite vehicles and builds and why I think they work so well.

If Forza Horizon 6 has taught me anything, it's that the 1991 Nissan Figaro is the greatest car ever made.

The worst thing about the upcoming Clayface movie is that they didn't make the obvious choice of hiring Alan Tudyk, putting him in a mocap suit, and body-swapping him with a fully CG Billy Bob Thornton.

The easiest possible layup for a President at war with another country would be to explain that they are attacking us. Trump won't do that because he views Minnesota as a bigger enemy than Iran.

I just felt lightheaded and sat down for a moment and then I thought It's a strictly internal experience, hard to properly describe, but we all understand what it feels like. There are lots of things like that. It's neat.

What really elevates this is that it's legitimately 100% the most straightforwardly logical design with which to tick off the clearly desired boxes: compartmentalization, ease of access, and accommodating height. This thing is 100% serious and 0% deliberately problematic and it's...like this.

The GPU is not your enemy. The GPU was intended to channel magic smoke into the drawing of triangles, the virtuous shape. Evil men devised wicked shapes that should never have been drawn, and have used their influence to hoard the GPUs and twist the magic smoke toward the shape of their perversions.

A doctored photo of Hunter Biden in the style of a campaign poster. The image has been altered to put a meth pipe in his mouth and the slogan "BIDEN 2028 -- LET'S SMOKE THE COMPETITION" is overlaid.

Below the post is a comment from Hunter Biden himself that reads:

"I know this may sound petty, but I can't stand it when people put photoshop [sic] a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn't have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can't trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.
