Yeah, and we're aware of it. A NIMBY would much rather spend their tax dollars to make homeless people conveniently disappear via prisons than to spend (what may overall be LESS) tax money on low-cost housing - which unfortunately keeps those same undesirables free and very much not-disappeared.

I don't think it's accurate to call this the stocks topic. It's more of an investment topic.
I'd say it's more of a day-trading topic. I don't like being that guy, but investments are generally seen as a more long-term concept.

I mean, it's not like we talk about land/real estate much in this topic, and that's the biggest investment of all.

That all sounds like excellent advice, Pun, and I'm glad you're treating this as a hobby (hopefully one you really enjoy), but the fact that it took you weeks (months?) of streaming to earn your first $100 check was eye-opening for me. It seems like hardly anyone can merely eke out a living from being a Twitch streamer, let alone becoming the next big thing.

I checked, it does. So if you have a retail copy, you can use the disc as DRM for the PS5 version, and if you have a digital copy you own it for both systems.

So my brother DID NOT ACCEPT the PS5 I got him as a gift (actually he said he wants to buy a house first and will only focus on an upgraded console/TV once he's done that), so the PS5 is with me for now.

It's supposed to run PS4 games just as good if not better than a PS4, right? Through this and other wacky circumstances, it looks like I'll be playing the PS4 version of REVillage on this PS5 next month, and I just want some reassurance that it won't be a glitchy, emulated mess.

Been using them for years, great investment. You'll feel cleaner (because you are cleaner) and will save money on toilet paper in the long run.

The first time you essentially give yourself an enema and shoot water out your ass will be super weird though, so prepare for that.

Unfinished Business (I thought it was called Unfinished Battle?) is so damn good that I find it both appropriate and shameful that it's used ONCE during the entire game - and it doesn't even loop!

Engage the Enemy is probably the game's most iconic track (either that or YWKON), but I gotta rep Dunban's unofficial banger.

As someone with Armenian ancestry, this is a huge deal for the Armenian-American community, many of whom now have to reconcile thanking Biden for doing this with their baffling Trump support (I'm not quite sure why Trump gained sizable support in the Armenian community in the first place).

And yeah, if nothing else, we need to call genocide for what it is despite making one diplomatic relationship temporarily icy.

Fallen Arm is cool and all but is it really that great? It's nowhere near the sprawling fun Valak Mountain or the moody ambience of Satori.
It's where the party is finally complete, and where the story temporarily becomes less epic and much more intimate. Obviously the spoiler stuff is the most touchy-feely, but even cutscenes like Melia/Riki/Dunban are really sweet - it's like the entire party let's their guards down and opens up.

The melancholy music captures it perfectly:

And yeah, while the area map itself is small, climbing that finger is probably my favorite example of scale in the game.

As an early-game starter dungeon, Tephra Caves is inoffensive and does a good job tightening up the focus/exploration after Colony 9 allows you to leisurely explore right away. I'd rank it ahead of places like the Ether Mine and Bionis Interior even before it opens up on the late game. And once it does open up, there's really no question. IIRC, it's one of only two areas that gives the party a ton of level 90 mobs to farm, and it's the more interesting of the two.

It also features "The Blood of Bafalgar", which to this day may be the coolest sidequest name I've ever seen.

Disney has a near-monopoly on valuable IP and nostalgia (Nintendo takes a few crumbs for itself). Their long-term prospects will always be strong as long as people continue to blow more of their money on entertainment. Plus, the theme parks will almost certainly go back to printing money soon.

Use the free month that they occasionally offer you and immediately cancel. It has some neat features, like using its own algorithms to tell you when you'll likely be among the top 10/25/50% of applications for a particular job, or giving you a tiny bit more information about the people stalking your profile.

But none of that stuff is worth $30 a month - it's way overpriced.

IIRC, the plot in Season 3 was driven by the two humans who had sided with Dracula earlier (Isaac and whatshisname), while Alucard, Trevor, and Sypha spent the whole season meandering in B-plots that didn't really go anywhere. It'd be great if Season 4 wraps up this arc and future seasons leap to the SotN era so we can get Richter and Maria.

I've played REMake enough times that I remember individual zombies and really, REALLY get a feeling that the game has pre-programmed the headshot crit to be more likely for some zombies than for others.

Anyway, it'll help to perma-kill the zombies in the two hallways right outside the mansion's two save points. Those will almost certainly be your most revisited areas in the game, and most zombies outside those hallways can be dodged.
