2026-01-25 16:02:09 +0000 UTCGene as someone with a journalism degree as well I must state that “I played it again a couple months ago recently” is the most semantically redundant statement ever. Also I’m saying this just for a laugh not to bust your balls lol. Followed by Micah saying “I walked my dog at 6 a.m. this morning” 😂

2026-01-22 17:41:11 +0000 UTCYo Brad the In N out petpiev I'm right there with you as a SoCal dude myself. One of my memorable game purchases is getting GTA San Andreas as a 14 yr old. It felt like I was doing a drug deal at gamecrazy lol. Shout to the clerk and his manager for sliding in under the table for me.
