    Friend of mine waited too long to put his place on the market. He's lowered the price by $100k already. (low 700s to low 600s) No idea where it'll land...

    If you have an easily accessible shut off somewhere I don't see why not. Mine's out on the pole, I can kill power to the shop and the house in one spot and work on stuff safely.

    Investing General Discussion

    Yeah, it has people like me trapped. Started at $99, now $120, and I don't have any other options anywhere close. And won't, because everyone is on 5-20 acres out here and it's not economical to run fiber to service 4-6 houses per mile.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    That's not very clear to those of us who stopped playing after the first month. I'm not sure what is possible in this game, but the end result is that I don't play.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I'm not saying it should be a loot pinata game, but like one or two items every 40 minutes isn't a good reward cycle.

    I even regret buying Darktide at release... Now, when they've added skill trees, fleshed shit out, added missing things.. Honestly I shouldn't have had it for the past year. Should have just bought it now, or at least considered it if those things were good.

    Popped up in my watch queue this morning as well! The part where the character got stuck in the ladder after falling while trying to see if he could break crates was actually funny. Looks like me trying to break crates with a sledge hammer....

    Controller Thread - for PC and/or console

    I'm using a wired Razer Wolverine v2. If you think mechanical switches on keyboards are good, try a controller with mechanical switches. I've been thinking of getting the wireless v2 pro to use with PS5, but haven't seen a sale.

    Yeah I have an expensive Ergotron multi monitor / laptop mount that was really expensive, but it's about 12 years old at this point. Not going anywhere, just works.

    The realtor I used is a friend of the family, but she's actually good. Plenty of horror stories of shitty realtors. When we came out from CA to AR we had 2 days to look at houses. We looked at 16 of them. I emailed her what we were looking for and a few things I found, she showed up with a...

    If this performs in the market like the first one, you'll be able to pick it up for 30-40% off in 2 months.

    It's crazy how connected I am to some people on this site. I lived on Alaska Dr, out near Clayton for about 2 years. Prior to that I rented this shit heap for $1,400/mo, which was too much.

    Spring Break this year I stayed in those Sandy Key condos right there in your image. You're right, amazing area. Edit: Check out this cool "neighborhood bar" where it's an old house in a neighborhood, where you park in between the trees next door. Crazy place. Live music all the time too...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yeah, no kidding. The whole point is to highlight shit that contains things. All of the things that contain things. It's nice that they include if it's empty (only if you've looked at it) but it would be nice to include, you know, things that contain items.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The first game still holds up. It's the first game I played (replayed) on PS5 after Dark Souls. I didn't complete it, transitioned away, but I stopped at the world altering event. Need to go back and finish up.

    Yep. Family / people have been bugging me to do a pool, but the floor is about $80k for what I'd want. And that's just getting the pool house area pad complete, with the water / septic lines ran to it, and not actually adding the pool house yet. It's a lot more expensive than people think.

    Hmmm. There's a house for sale that's 300 yards away, that is "pending". It was listed at $1.1M. 2800 sq ft, 30x50 shop, built in '17, 4.5 acres. Modern farm house, so it's more updated than my place. I bought my place for $515k. 3800 sq ft, 40x60 shop, 5 acres. It wouldn't take $100k to update...

    Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and cry once. The volume difference will be worth it to me, as it'll be outside a batting cage not far away. Seemingly everything else on the market goes up to 72 dB at load, while the Honda stays around 60. $1050 shipped off eBay. While I'm sure others have caught up to...

    Looking at a ~2000 watt generator to run a pitching machine. Thinking of spending extra on the Honda, due to the fact that it's way quieter than the rest. Someone stop me... $950 locally if it's not a scam, $1050 shipped on eBay. Generac has one that's about half price, but it's 72 dB at load...
