Every home purchase I’ve ever made was a terrible experience. I’m glad you had a better time.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 days ago:
Seeing as most homes increased by about 400% in the last 10-15 years in that area, while wages increases negligibly, I feel they have a point. On the other hand, it is difficult for most people, myself included, to garner sympathy when you see someone with a 4.4 million dollar home.

Not that it changes your point, but Florida’s property tax is not progressive in any of the areas that I lived.

We used to call Panama City the “Redneck Riviera”, but I grew up in FL. The panhandle is most definitely closer to “Lower Alabama” in hindsight. Funny enough, we did call the other part of north Florida “South Georgia”.

We’ll compromise and say Florida panhandle, which is probably generally worse than either :)

Is this a Florida pic? I feels like a Florida pic.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 week ago:
I don’t think patents and copyright “need to die”, but they are currently both overly broad and last far too long. Copyright protection especially has no justifiable reason to be even 1/4 as long as it is.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
I was an early Plex user and I ditched it completely when they first started the cloud account bullshit. There weren’t as many good options at the time, but I just switched to a very simple dlna media server that my TVs supported. Now of course we have a wealth of options and Plex makes even less sense to me, but I can see lots of people will keep using it due to inertia.
- Comment on 'Starter homes' cost at least $1 million in over 200 U.S. cities, Zillow data finds 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s not misleading, you are just thinking purely of large cities or full metros. Most good sized metros are a combination of a dozen or more cities.

That sounds like an interesting vegan mayo recipe. My wife has tried a few and none contained potatoes.

- Comment on A quarter of a century after its original release, Capcom’s legendary Breath of Fire IV returns to PC! 3 weeks ago:
BoF3 was always the peak of the series in my eyes and I would be all over a remaster.
- Comment on GitHub - outerbase/studio: A lightweight Database GUI in your browser. It supports connecting to Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, DBeaver used to be unusable, but it is quite decent these days. I was really unhappy with Datagrip, so I decided to give it another try and I am glad I did.
As far as this tool goes, I don’t love the idea of having my tools in the browser, so this won’t work for me, but it is a cool project nonetheless.

Unsurprising, but still shitty. Par for the course for the company these days.

This is true, and is why I annoying have to keep robots.txt on my unpublished domains. Google does honor them for the most part, for now.
- Comment on Random: What Happens When You Remove Charles Barkley From His Own Video Game? 1 month ago:
Hah, I came to mention Gaiden as I love that game. You and the article are both correct for the most part, it definitely has story elements relating to Space Jam, not to mention Ghost Dad, and other seemingly random sources, but what you describe is probably the best quick summary of the setting.
It sounds so ridiculous, and I suppose it is, but it was so well done and entertaining.
The creator was working on the sequel for years and then kinda disappeared. It is probably for the best because I can’t see it living up to the hype of the weird fans like myself (and I can’t stand backetball!).
- Comment on Oh NOOOO 1 month ago:
I just want my grocery store to start playing JRPG OSTs. Buying vegetables while jaming to Chrono Trigger songs would be the best. Black Omen? More like beat Omen.

- Comment on This $80 wristwatch has an Atari 2600-inspired design, features 4 playable Atari games - Liliputing 1 month ago:
Four games and you decide to include Pong and it’s far superior successor Super Breakout? Moronic, there are tons of 2600 games that would have worked just as well on a watch.
- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 2 months ago:
Pinball Fantasies, Raptor, Heretic
- Comment on Even as a collector, I've never laid my hands on one of these. 2 months ago:
I knew someone in school that had a CD-i and I was excited to try out the Zelda game… I made a terrible mistake as did the people that made it. It’s probably still a cool collector’s item, but man it was bad.

Four! lol, oh man, I bet they get awful.
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 2 months ago:
I had no idea there was a sequel. Based on what you say about it, I’ll try to fake believing that is still the case.

Thanks for reminding me that Megaman actually talked like that in the awful Saturday morning cartoon I watched as a kid (Captain N: The Game Master)
- Comment on My old retro game cart (now defunct) 3 months ago:
This looks great, but I also understand why you got rid of it. I had to do the same and gave away all of my retro systems and CRTs all the way back to my Atari 2600. It just took up too much space for how little it was being used so I wanted that stuff to be in the hands of someone that would hopefully enjoy it.
- Comment on Which is better: F-Zero or Super Mario Kart (SNES)? 5 months ago:
I never liked Mario Kart at all until a friend that had a multitap invited people over for 4 player battle mode. That was legitimately fun with no equivalent on any other SNES game. For pure racing, F-Zero in a heartbeat.
- Comment on anyway, i started blastin' 5 months ago:
To be fair, it made slightly more sense in the comics, though still batshit. In the comics there was no noble purpose like they tried to shoehorn in for the MCU. IIRC, Thanos was literally doing it to impressed Death (the cosmic entity) to gain her affection.
- Comment on Three "Lost" Shining Force Games Have Been Preserved | Time Extension 5 months ago:
I had Shining Force Gaiden for the Game Gear and it was probably my most played game on the system. I wonder how different this version is, not that I’d remember it much at this point.
- Comment on Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7 6 months ago:
GTA 2 was fantastic, especially multiplayer over LAN on PC. It unseated a lot of our usual FPS or RTS games for a while as the game of choice.
Then again, what do I know, I still think Zelda 2 was awesome.
- Comment on Wednesday it is, my dudes. 6 months ago:
I’ve definitely heard some sort of frog/toad make the “ribbit” sound, but I’d say the German “kwaak” is probably more common. The various Asian sounds seem odd to me though. I suppose it is entirely possible the frogs makes different sounds there.
