Hey all,

I posted a few days ago about starting a new league just for fun. I’m thinking of starting one shortly but I’m thinking it would be best to get some people to race with to see how it goes and go from there. I have created a Discord server for interested players. This will be for fun as I already stated with assists on as I know playing without them can be frustrating and difficult. It will be cross-play, and I already have one player who’s going to be in the league.

If you have any questions or suggestions or concerns, let me know. Thanks!

I know I just posted something but I wanted to see what your favorite character or characters are. My favorite character is definitely Gil Grissom, as I feel like I’m a carbon copy of him just in a younger body. I’m not deeply fascinated with bugs as he is but I just have this feeling that Grissom is autistic but I don’t see any official confirmation.

Does anyone know where I can stream the original CSI without any missing episodes? I am on season 7 right now and I’m watching on Pluto TV but the first episode shown on the app for this season is actually episode 3 Toe Tags.

Also, while we’re on the topic, I feel like the near-tragedy with Brass was brushed over like it was nothing and rushed. Like hey, I just experienced a Code Blue after surgery but I’m opening my eyes and I can talk to Grissom like nothing happened.

Hey all,

I’m thinking of starting a league for us controller users with driving aids ON. I wanted to do this just for the casual gamer who wants to have FUN and not worry about struggling or wrecking the car.

I am on PS5 myself and if people are interested, I can definitely get something set up. To the haters out there, may I remind you this is simply a video game and people are allowed to have fun in their own way. I prefer using a controller and I know there are others out there who can ily afford a controller.

Hi all, I was diagnosed with having Fibromyalgia yesterday afternoon and I’m feeling defeated as well as disappointed with a twinge of frustration. I am going to start off by saying I will be turning 34 next Friday as I feel that is important to mention for some reason. Anyways, life has been… challenging to say the least lately. I have been unable to keep a job because of the debilitating pain that I find myself in daily. I landed a job a few months ago that was my favorite job ever and I loved everyone I worked with so you could imagine how I felt when I had to eventually quit because of the pain and constantly missing work.

Sleep has been next to impossible if not impossible. I cannot find any sort of comfortable spot to lie in and any pressure whatsoever hurts… A LOT. I also can’t seem to regulate my temperature from being too hot or too cold. There is no in between anymore. The pain I feel daily is immeasurable and it always confuses the doctors I see as there is nothing that should be hurting that bad. For example, my knees and the top of my feet have been hurting SO bad for years now but there is nothing but minor arthritis in them.

Going back to the work conversation, I don’t know what I’m going to do for work now. I have a ton of experience in the warehouse industry as well as extensive experience working as a delivery driver. I also have experience working in a grocery store doing various different types of tasks. The point I’m trying to make is that I don’t want to return to a physical job right now or possibly ever. I really want to get a remote job or an office job but I have about two months of office experience so I’m not sure if that’s enough to get hired.

I was thinking about going to school for medical billing or something regarding writing as I love to read and write but I’m not sure how that will work as I’m currently unemployed with no income coming in whatsoever, for me at least. My wife is working full time and then some and we can probably make things work for now with just her salary but I’m worried about things getting a little too tight.

Do you have any advice or suggestions for me regarding fibromyalgia or anything I’ve shared above? That would be greatly appreciated if so. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

My birthday is September 18th and I was wondering if anyone shared a birthday with me. I will be 34 by the way.

I am not planning on celebrating my birthday this year as it’s been a very stressful and difficult time for me the last couple months. Things might change depending on how some medical appointments go between now and then but it’s more likely that I will treat my birthday like any other day.

Hi there, I hope you’re all doing well regarding the circumstances you have been with. I’m… struggling to say the least. I have an appointment with rheumatology on September 9th but I’m worried it won’t go so well. I have a laundry list of symptoms that I want to discuss with her but with my luck, I won’t have anything wrong with me at all.

I’ve had several different tests for inflammation but it’s all come back clean. I’ve had imaging done in areas where it hurts and it came back negative. I have never felt so lousy in my life so far and quite frankly I would be happier if I weren’t around anymore it hurts that bad. I’ve had to sacrifice so much recently because of the said pain that I’m in and I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

Over the past several months, I have developed progressively worsening widespread pain, fatigue, stiffness, and other systemic symptoms. The pain is especially severe in my midfeet, hands, knees, Achilles tendons, lower back, neck, and areas where tendons attach to bone. It alternates between sides and sometimes becomes so severe that even light touch is extremely painful.

My feet and toes become swollen and red, and I have increasing stiffness in my hands, fingers, and feet. I also experience intermittent muscle weakness and significant fatigue after normal to moderate activity that can last the rest of the day. I have developed a persistent rash/skin changes on both hands and fingers, including white patches and areas where the top layer of skin has peeled away. I have also noticed significant hair thinning, brittle/chipping fingernails, and rapid unexplained weight gain of over 25 pounds despite no meaningful change in my diet.

I have also developed more frequent and intense headaches that are different from my usual headaches, difficulty focusing my vision, feeling unusually warm during severe pain episodes, and significant difficulty falling and staying asleep because of pain and discomfort. My anxiety and depression have increased substantially, and suicidal thoughts have become more frequent, although I do not currently have a plan or intention to act on them. I have also been experiencing episodes of intense skin picking and hair pulling. Overall, these symptoms have become increasingly debilitating and are interfering significantly with my daily functioning, sleep, and quality of life.

Do any of you play any older NASCAR games on older consoles? For some reason lately I’ve been wanting to buy a PS2 again and play some of the older games. I know they were absolute garbage but for some reason or another, I really want to play 08 and 09. 😭

Hi all,

I don’t know if any of you have noticed but a majority of the rookies have incorrect birthdays as well as height and weight. How did 2K let that slide by?

My only question and/or concern for NASCAR 26 is if the scoring pylons work. I mean the EA Sports games for my PS2 did so why can’t they work on my PS5?

What is your favorite music video by Coldplay and why?

Mine is God Put A Smile Upon Your Face because it’s my favorite song by them as well as I feel like the guy in the video who gradually turns invisible. 🫥 It just feels like I’m that guy in real life, not heard nor seen by anyone… including family.

I have progressively worsening widespread pain and fatigue with features concerning for both an inflammatory/rheumatologic and potentially neurologic process. Musculoskeletal symptoms include severe migrating deep/crushing pain in the midfeet, knees, hands and extremities; recurrent red, warm, swollen feet/toes; significant Achilles pain; pain at multiple tendon-to-bone attachment sites; and increasing stiffness of the hands, fingers, feet, lower back and neck.

I also experience episodes of intense itching followed by severe deep pain, occasional muscle weakness, and intermittent allodynia during severe flares. Associated systemic symptoms include profound fatigue, approximately 25-lb unexplained weight gain, hair thinning, brittle/chipping nails, a progressively changing wrist rash, increased anxiety/depression, and new difficulty focusing my vision.

Most concerning, I previously experienced an acute episode of bilateral lower-extremity sensory and motor loss requiring a 5½-day hospitalization. I am currently significantly functionally impaired and can become severely painful and exhausted simply walking to the bathroom. This morning I also woke up having urinated during sleep and was completely soaked, which is unusual for me.

Tonight is night 3 and I’m not sure how long I’m going to be here for. Please help cure my boredom so ask away!

Have you met any drivers and where? I met Greg Biffle at Banks Speedway in Banks, Oregon. I’m going to meet Kevin and Keelan Harvick at Evergreen Speedway in 2 weeks from today.
