What series did you rewatch most often?
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    King of the Hill.

    I've watched is from premiere to finale atleast 5 times now.

    Even after that I still pick up on small little jokes. It's a wonderful show.

  • Coming Soon: AEW Fight Forever's Stadium Stampede - 30 Player Battle Royal Mode.
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    If this thing had a create a fighter, import fighters/rings/belts and an online sandbox dynasty mode I'd be hooked.

    I thought 2k23 was going to have that and was sorely let down. Still a fun game, but online/online dynasty leaves a lot to be desired.

  • what movie/show made you think "WTF did I just watch?"
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    Adult Swims programming from the exact same time you mentioned helped shape me into who I am now, lmao. What an awesome time for TV. I can remember sneaking downstairs to the TV to put on Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I didn't "get it" but I was very aware that I liked that type of dry humor.

    Mulholland Drive.

    Trust me on this...just put all technology away when you watch this and give it your 100% attention. One of the craziest movies I've ever seen.

    Absolutely do not mess with meta. I'm here BECAUSE I don't want to be affiliated with them. Meta will RUIN this experiment.

    Defederate, please.

    Always good to see backmarkers do good, even if it was just a strategy call. Will never forgive JJ for the Mark Martin incident though.

    Not gonna lie, not a fan of William Byron. Dude just seems to back into wins. Nothing to back it up, but all of his wins save for Daytona a few years ago have been very "ho-hum."

  • Gainbridge agrees to multi-year partnership with Spire Motorsports; will sponsor Corey LaJoie and Ty Dillon
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    I just wouldn't know who a theoretical Andretti team would have as a driver.

    I feel like Corey Lajoie is a given, but the 2nd car is a question mark. Maybe Nick Sanchez since he has backing from Gainbridge? But no way is he ready right now.

  • Awesome job guys! It feels like this community gains 10 people or so every few days. As we are now at triple digits, we probably need to start working out rules and such for our sidebar. So, my question is: what should our rules be? Further, what else should be in our sidebar? Schedules? Prn/mrn? Jayski, etc? This isn't my community. This is your community and I want it to be user driven. As such, I want you guys to help me create something amazing! Thanks guys. Keep posting and commenting. I'm positive that we will be able to have a unique and fun nascar community here in no time.

    Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    Agreed. My phone tells me my usage time on it, and I used it for 5 hours less this week due to just not feeling like fucking with the official reddit app. I'm trying to keep it like that.

    The official reddit app is pure garbage. Downloaded it to try to atleast have some semblance of normal, but it's just so bad. I Uninstalled it.

  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.

    Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.

  • whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether?
  • HikerAdam HikerAdam 1y ago 100%

    I think I may have gotten the Lapras as a gift? Or maybe it was a magikarp as a gift. I honestly can't remember, but I distinctly remember only having Charizard in the Elite 4.

    As a stupid 7/8 year old I couldn't figure out how to catch pokemon on red/blue. I just figured that if I kept playing the game I'd eventually acquire pokemon(similar to the anime). I wound up playing the entire game with a charizard and nothing else.

    It was brutal. Imagine my surprise when my friend showed me his team of 6 pokemon.

    My immediate thought would be Papyrus, who made the Nascar Racing games in the early 2000s, and has gone on to make Iracing. Though they technically don't exist anymore the Iracing crew is literally the Papyrus crew now.

    I'm really not holding my breath for a great (or even good for that matter) single player experience. No way to make money there.

    Glad to see Spire getting some decent sponsorship. Makes me low-key wonder if Andretti is looking at buying out Spire. (Also I think this is the 1st rumor on the lemmy nascar community, lol)

    Hey guys! We are approaching 40 subscribers, which is super cool! Thanks for subscribing, and if you're lurking, please subscribe! We'd love to have you. As we get things off the ground, I encourage everybody to post anything and everything nascar related. For the time being, I'm not going to be stingy with posts as any content(within reason of course) is great for a growing sub. This can be anything from unique collectibles, race threads, weather threads, twitter(I am REALLY not good with Twitter--would love for somebody to post stuff from there), local racing, and anything in between. Try to comment on things as well, even if it's a few days old. Thanks for the support guys, I'll eventually get this place looking decent.

    I like the idea of North Wilkesboro taking over for Spring Bristol. 20 years ago Bristol needed 2 races because of the demand, but not anymore. Making the Bristol Night Race a once a season venue is a fantastic idea. It could be a crown jewel. An early season race at Wilkesboro is great too. Early season short track racing in the Carolinas is exactly what I envision when I think of nascar. Great move.
