    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    Yes, it has a SMB share. I've been using that to send ROMs across. You have to reboot to see the new games, but otherwise you're golden.

    Thanks. I thought about this and we have scaled it back some. This aggressive schedule is until Mid-November, but even then we're clearing the schedule three days a week, rather than be booked for 6 out of 7 days each week.

    How to handle a bad VP

    Reading this thread gave me PTSD-like flashbacks to the few years I spent working at a big 4 accounting firm. I need a drink.

    Move to the bay area when you are young. There are other jobs in the rest of the country, sure, but they sure as fuck won't catapult your career into the stratosphere like the bay area will. Take risks. Source: I landed on a couch in the bay area in August '00 with $350 in my pocket, an '87...

    That sounds amazing. My oldest is the only one doing sports at the moment, but that only lasts until this spring, when my middle daughter is old enough to start playing farm softball. Oldest is on two teams - a travel team that practices 25 minutes away and a local team. Practice for travel is...

    How much income is enough?

    Bumping a kind of old thread. I think the sweet spot is about 4x the median income where you are. That may be extreme, but there is something really satisfying about saving 2/3rds of your income each month. Retirement? Fuck retirement. I'm going to work on cutting edge technology (the correct...

    Preorders for everything sell out. Resellers suck. I'd like to buy one, but I can't bring myself to pull the trigger without any exclusives that make it worthwhile.

    Yes, I started receiving those in the past two weeks. I think 4 so far. Shortly after logging on I'll have someone message me. I was going to flip the switch in the privacy menu, but I didn't want to input my huge password with the controller.

    You can get a plus subscription for $5/mo. Less than that if you wait for the year pass to go on sale. You're missing out over peanuts. Here: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Sony-Plus-Month-Subscription-3000133/product/B00FNQUN7Q?context=search Also, what does "BC" mean in this context?

    When I did that I got a second job. Negotiate the minimum amount of hours for full time with your current employer and get a remote part time job. If that seems impossible try hitting up contacts at previous employers and see what they have going on, and see if they need any part-time help from...

    Did you ever see Dio in concert? He was incredible. Unfortunately comparing him against Ozzy it's kind of a no contest, because on one side is fucking Ozzy. What a titan.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    2.x years of ownership and I've spent about $2k in maintenance costs so far. I do as much of my own work as possible but I've had to take it to the dealership twice. The first time was for a recall notice where they replaced both fuel filters and both gas tanks for $0, which is great. The second...

    RAID 1 incomes. I successfully flipped around my part time job to full time, and moved my full time job to part time. I'm doing the minimum to get benefits now, 30 hours, and due to my performance at the other job they "felt no need to change anything" so my pay at the previously full time...

    Here is my trusty steed. I picked this up awhile back after spending around 12 years dealing with DSMs and Galant VR4s. Graduated and moved on to the next maintenance challenge, so to speak.

    Kids will go through phases. Even different phases daily. Sometimes they want Mom to fix it, sometimes they want Dad to fix it. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Like with my youngest - 4 year old boy, he won't let me kiss him good night. And I can't kiss a paper cut and make it better. Just...

    Too many "yes men" at the company? It's still very Japanese, so I guess by definition it's filled to the brim with "yes men". It's too bad they stopped falling on swords. The problem would have resolved itself. If you remove that from the equation you end up with modern day Nintendo.

    Nintendo has been predictably retarded for something like 15 years now. We're all frustrated with it, because if you pick 10 random users on this forum they could come up with better business decisions than Nintendo has been making.

    If your PS4 is ejecting discs try elevating the front of the unit. Put a penny under each corner, with nothing underneath the eject button. If that doesn't work you can open it up and physically unplug the eject button. At that point you have to eject the discs in the UI.

    I would guess the problem is the PS4 wifi - unless you have a pro. Wifi on PS4 is notoriously terrible. You say you can't wire, but I'd start thinking about it. Put a 10 port switch behind your entertainment center and run one wire to that. Cable all devices from that point. Life becomes so...

    Yep, that's what I have as well. I bought two, when Mario kart 8 came out. One for my parents. Both were not refurbished at all. They were brand new - the WiiU sold so poorly they just needed to unload unsold units.
