Great graphic novel. Can defs recommend it if you even remotely like the franchise/Last Airbender series.

Things were different in 2014. I remember logging back in to b.net earlier that year after a hiatus from the reach days to check out what the hype was about surrounding destiny. No surprises the forum for the game itself was an absolute shitshow and I was instantly turned off the game by its prospective community, but Offtopic was pretty cool and I found myself becoming a regular. Nearly everyone was a familiar name and I had a pretty cool group of friends to have a group chat with, including the resident 5-year old Ender. Memes were aplenty and I can honestly say the community as a whole had a really nice vibe to it.

I was 18 and unemployed at the time, so I had all the time in the world to surf Offtopic to my heart’s content. I was in all of the biggest groups on the site and enjoyed reading countless shitposts and drama from the usual suspects at the time. Even the trolling seemed to have a creative edge to it, and I was sad to see it all go the moment the July update dropped around the launch of the Destiny Beta. Usernames disappeared, never to be seen again and groups fragmented. During the teething problems of this group when it was on Proboards I became convinced it was some concotion of the worst of bungie’s toxicity for a time (mostly in part due to everyone labelling sep7 as traitors for some dumbass reason) but signing up pretty quickly dispelled that feeling. The users who crept back in to offtopic after its silent period were the biggest fuckheads in existence and I’m convinced 2 of them in particular are singlehandedly behind the worst of the later site updates (such as needing a destiny account just to post there now).

Fast forward to 2015 and I think I made the biggest mistake of my life. I was playing Mario Kart 8 and after a series of cheesy losses, I fell into the habit of hitting myself in the head when I was angry. This culminated in breaking a GamePad over my head hard enough to see nothing but red as it impacted my skull, dazing myself for 5 minutes (I am fully aware self harm of this manner is NEVER okay) and I haven’t been the same since. While there was no sign of injury to my head or brain, that moment marked a tipping point where I began to have anxiety attacks of an intensity I’d never experienced before, and still do to this day. For about 8 months this was a nightly ocurrence. I would develop a migrane, then worry I’d caused permanent brain damage or gotten a neurodegenerative disease and I was fully convinced in that headspace that I could never function again. I felt I had a really hard time thinking, I constantly lost trains of thought and got migranes really easily.

It went away for a bit and, while shit went sideways in a completely different way, late 2016-2017 were pretty normal years in terms of headspace for me. Around 2018 I found even seeing the word ‘Dimentia’ written on a pamphlet briefly brought that panic straight back and convinced me I had something like that. Co-workers always asked me what was up because one day I could be talkative, and completely silent the next. The real kicker was I wasn’t aware of what this panic was really about, so when I zoned in I couldn’t even tell what was wrong. Talking to a psychologist was helpful, but again our conversations never got to what I saw as the big issue.

2019 was a similar story in terms of mental health, but I was able to keep such instances brief, even if I was more zoned out than usual I was able to function pretty normally at work and make life decisions and plans. The Panic attacks still happened but on a milder level and passed quickly, in part thanks to getting a brain scan and being told everything is normal on that front. Earlier this year I’ve gotten comfortable with existing with this, and zeroed in on what sets me off. It’s hard to put it in to words even now, but basically I’ve come to terms with the concept of having such a disease as a workaround for my anxiety not letting me believe that I’m actually fine. And I feel better fams. Like, not 100% but I feel more like my old self than I have at any point in the last 5 years, and I just want to say I’m glad to be a part of sep7agon. Browsing this place can really take your mind off introspective worries sometimes, and I hope you’re doing well too.

Until my license category updates I'm finally allowed to drive this bad boy


I've had it since mid '17 and because VicRoads are the biggest cunts in human history and change their laws like that one kid at school that keeps losing games of tag, I haven't been allowed to drive it since the start of 2018. I'd almost sold it multiple times before changing my mind at the last second.

Going to get rid of the mid 2000's sex spec kit and rice stickers for a Z-Tune body conversion, fix the paint and get a good set of wheels to start. Then work my way to performance mods since stock R34s are surprisingly slow by today's standards. I've been on the full time grind for a while to be able to afford all this before I go back to Uni. Keen as a B E A N to be back in the driver's seat. I've sorely missed the sound of an RB.

Anyway discuss cars and other modes of transport itt, I guess.

*ahem*

Smh I swear this level can be done in under 15 minutes, maybe 10 with optimised routing and no mistakes, but I spent a whole2 hours with it.

I died at 96 notes because I thought I missed a group in the engine room. Turned out they were in the bridge and I died repeatedly (like 50-60 times, no exaggeration) for no good reason. Got to 76 and yanked the controller by accident, crashing the console. Died 30-50 more times before I finally completed it.

I wanna make engine room my bitch and lay out constant world record splits for that segment.

I have a meme idea but no editing software and no skills so pls enquire within

How is your day

Alright folks, the time has come. 36 contestants. One battle royale to decide who will rise above the rest and become legend™️. Who will be our new Champion? Who will fall victim to disaster? Who will release Despacito 2? Is Fedorekd really my Father? These questions will be answered by the end of this tournament. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Also if you happened to upload your avatar to Sep7agon instead of specifying by URL then FUCK YOU for making my job harder.

👉👌 sometime big boi? 😏😏

Why is there a cheesecake next to my age on my profile my birthday is in January

I’m gonna rebuild my engine soon. Spool forged kit built for drag racing. Supposedly can handle 1,500 hp (grout filled block obvs) and 10k rpm. It’s primarily a street engine so I’m looking at the 400hp mark for the time being but want to take it further. Ideally 700hp but I want a Dry simp kit that doesn’t replace the A/C pulley so until I find a crank driven (or find a good aftermarket pump drive that won’t grenade at high revs/power) I’ll keep it at or below 500.

Any RB that’s not a 30 or an N1 has overheating issues in race engines beyond 500 whp that causes cylinder 6 to run lean and eventually disintegrate the Piston. But being a street car I think I can get away with just short bursts.

Think I can get away with it without shortening the lifespan of the engine to less than, say, 2 years? By then I’ll either save up for an N1 with a 2.8 stroker kit or put it back to stock boost/cams and keep it as a daily.

Main reason being there’s a few Supercharged LSA Commodores getting around my town talking like their car is the tits and I wanna embarrass them in an alleged ricebox.

I’ll be getting that power to the ground and stopping it with a GTR 6 speed converted to rwd or a V161 adapted to fit the RB, Nismo LMGT4 wheels, Brembo Brakes, coilovers that can keep it flat during those heavy weight transfers, upgraded driveshafts and a straight cut final drive.

A 10k rpm Rb25det NEO would sound tasty.

Normal difficulty and 1 bot on the enemy team is always set to godlike 🤔
