Replay is up from this morning’s Pure Rock Crawling stream (solo, ~1h07m). I built the game’s totally-not-licensed rig to look/feel like a classic FJ40: leaf springs, solid axles, stock-ish height, and old tires for maximum “period correct” struggle.

We also wandered through the backstory: racing/racing sims → getting hooked on rock crawling vids (summer ’24) → mini crawlers (FCX18 square body + my youngest’s LC80) → trying to replace my daily driver → nearly getting seduced by Land Rovers until “catastrophic engine failure” became a recurring character… and then discovering Toyota’s whole reliability and legendary off-road status.

Highlight: unlocked Oldtimer (only 1.7% of players have this one) for clearing a challenge on old tires. 😅

15-minute warning: Euro Truck Simulator 2: Winter Wonderland event.

Going live at 8:30 AM ET for snowy hauls, warm chat, and the usual "I definitely meant to do that" backing attempts.

Six hours. A couple coffee breaks. A couple “see a man about a horse” breaks. And one absolutely predictable lie I told myself at least ten times:

“Just one more load.”

Anyway...
Cruising Louisiana: COMPLETE ✅

This stream was a perfect little microcosm of how I treat both games and life: good intentions, mild chaos, and a stubborn belief that I can absolutely make that turn if I just believe harder (and maybe clip one more curb).

We kicked off hauling around Louisiana, bounced west into Texas to shake loose better job options, then stitched our way back through the final cities until the last checkmark fell in Lake Charles while hauling 8 tons of scissor lifts on a company flatbed because the universe refuses to let me finish anything the way I intend.

Today’s route log (miles):
• 175 — Alexandria → Houma
• 95 — Houma → Lafayette
• 125 — Lafayette → Beaumont
• 129 — Beaumont → Houston
• 153 — Houston → DeRidder
• 244 — DeRidder → New Orleans
• 283 — New Orleans → Natchitoches
• 72 — Natchitoches → Shreveport (not enough for credit — extremely rude behavior)
• 158 — Shreveport → Idabel, OK
• 424 — Idabel → Lake Charles (final city ✅)

We also took a few delightful conversational detours today: accents vs dialects, why some accents sneak an “R” into words like Louisiana, and a bit of transportation-history rabbit hole energy that feels very “day after Christmas brain.”

Cruising Louisiana has begun in American Truck Simulator. 🌙🚚🌴

This morning’s stream knocked out the first three cities for the #CruisingLouisiana World of Trucks event:

-Monroe
-Baton Rouge
-Alexandria

We crossed raised highways over the water, wrestled with a tiny gas station that absolutely wasn’t built for a long-nose truck and 53 foot trailer, and hauled 21 tons of nitrocellulose from Baton Rouge back up to Alexandria. In between, we talked Louisiana history, books and movies set in the South, and how games like ATS make you notice geography you’d otherwise just fly over.

If you like cozy trucking, light chaos, and nerdy side tangents, the VOD is up now:
