    They're building these near where I live. 3d printer homes that cost even more than wood ones. Side benefit of also being really ugly! Most of them look like this rn. $450k+ for a 3/2 <1800 SQFT. https://www.lennar.com/new-homes/texas/austin-central-texas/georgetown/wolf-ranch/genesis-collection

    This seems like a nobrainer. My only experience with similar things is Texas A&M where houses near the stadium are equally as profitable. Make them pay an absolute premium for the place and keep it barebones so drunk antics don't set you back too bad.

    A 90 minute or 2 hour commute both ways is truly AIDS of the highest order and a cancer upon life in our society. I biked to work in Tech Ridge area of Austin for like 6 years. I eventually had to commute downtown, it was okay only because I was able to take the train and just read most of the way.

    While I completely agree the starter homes today are not in the relative price range they are when I bought my starter home. If I were to do the exact same thing I did in 2005 in 2015 it would have cost me significantly more of the income I was earning than it did. When I was 18 I joined the...

    Inadvisably really loves to use the full English lexicon. Dude has a penchant for using the most esoteric and strange words in all of his fictions. I think this does him no favors when writing about something as strange as Lovecraftian fantasy where everything is hard to describe already. I am...

    I definitely don't envy the younger generation right now. They have a steep uphill to climb. While the Millenials didn't have it as good as their Boomer parents, they had it a lot better than Gen Z is going to.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I wonder if a mod is even capable of doing that. Similar mods in terms of architecture like New Vegas where it was all one seemless environment only existed because the game had it architected in. Just spliced it up because of console limitations of the time. In Starfields case its like they...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Another thing I dislike. In previous titles whenever you steal something the item in question has a red highlight. In this game its just a tiny little icon on the tooltip and much less obvious. I mean, yes BGS is known for trash UIs but they impressively made an objectively worse UI than they...

    Also stealth and pickpocketing (along with many others) as features behind locked behind an initial skill point drop is stupid. Who thought of that shit?

    Is this a sign that they have some self-awareness about their strong suit? Fallout 3 storyline was garbage. Skyrim storyline was yawn.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Its interesting to me that they added various layers of complexity to this game in terms of research and crafting. As since Skyrim all of that has been streamlined for ease of use. The hardcore survival mod that makes surviving in space more interesting, complex, and difficult is going to be...

    I am still just getting my feet wet but crafting seems expansive and confusing. The UI is dogshit and somehow even worse and less intuitive than the skyrim UI was at launch. The NASApunk artstyle they came up with is legitimately cool and refreshing. This game has sufficient bones that a year...

    ToC is the point where I started hating Wrath. God damn I hate that stupid ass tournament thing and it's dailies. The only thing somewhat nice about it is that the raid and dungeon were short.

    The high HOA fees in CA seem to be everywhere and normal. Friends of mine in Aliso Viejo in a townhouse smaller than my first house pay $800 a month in HOA fees. All they get out of it is a small children's park with 1 slide on it and "maintained common areas." They don't even get a community...

    People get tired of the pandering. Plain and simple. That and women cannot fulfill combat roles even in 2023, the physical tests are too demanding. Remind me who the core audience for video games actually is? And god damn this is a cringe post bro. lol.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Don't even have to do that though. If you don't have a single wizard with a fire cantrip you can pick up a candle you can find in any house and just dip a ranged weapon into it. But Astarion, Shadowheart, and Gale at minimum have infinite fire cantrips.

    Bubbles discovers the concept of the Sacred Tradition in 2023. Albeit in a retarded way that references scripture from the perspective of an atheist memeing about a sola scriptura fundamentalist.

    If the addon developers are remotely competent they will use one of the many open source tools to validate your addon version when it registers deaths and such. Its very easy and inexpensive to setup something like this.

    Then why is San Anton not as expensive as the Corpus Christi he's describing? The prices he's talking are Austin City Limits prices. You won't find a single livable property in the Austin Metro that costs you under $300k outside of some weird, lucky situation.
