Topic | How much money would you need to retire? |
Seanchan 12/09/21 4:45:32 PM #22 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... If youre saving up millions, it should go without saying that you already own a (probably paid off) house. I guess I read the question slightly differently. I was imagining a magical money fairy coming down and asking me "how much to retire, right now" rather than, "how much am I going to save before I decide I've got enough to not work anymore". --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
Topic | How much money would you need to retire? |
Seanchan 12/09/21 2:57:28 PM #17 | I think some of you are forgetting the extra 40 (or 50-80...) hours of new free time you'll get from being retired. And guess what, you're going to end up filling those hours with your hobbies. Which will be more expensive than the nothing you pay while you're toiling away at a job. $5 million gives you enough to buy a house and then be comfortable enjoying your hobbies for the next 40-50 years. With only $2 million I'd be far too concerned that it wouldn't last, especially if some unknown expenses came along. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Seanchan 12/09/21 6:46:05 AM #15 | I had the wheels stolen off my car last year. Got woken up by a knock on the door at 4am by a police officer letting me know (they noticed while driving by). Talk about an awful way to start your day! Thankfully insurance covered the replacements and fixing the damage done because of the car sitting on those plastic cartons. And now I've got wheel locks and park in a garage... --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Twilight Princess IS a better game than Wind Waker to play but WW has got the better graphics (best in the series...), story beats (underwater castle, Ganon fight), and characters.

I think FFX over Witcher 3 because this site is filled with thirty-something y/o folks with nostalgia for "back in the day" that have extensive backlogs and may not have even gotten to Witcher yet. Fuck, this truth hurts so bad... Not that I'm a FFX fan but all The Witcher games are on my "maybe someday but probably not" backlog. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

The start of Change, for example? Love that opening quite a lot...then the song falls off a bit. Probably elevated the song a spot or two in my rankings just for that though. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Seanchan 12/02/21 6:04:02 PM #98 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... Just saw a horrendous video of a cop in AZ shooting a man in a wheelchair who was moving away from him in the back, unloading basically the entire magazine. Fuck me, I just saw this on Reddit. It's so much worse than I expected. The guy is near the front entrance of a Lowes/Home Depot and the cop is firing at practically point blank range. There was also a store employee in the general direction the shots were fired, so thank god is body absorbed all 8-9 shots... THEN, AFTER THE GUY SLUMPS OVER DEAD ONTO THE GROUND IN A POOL OF HIS OWN BLOOD, THE COP HANDCUFFS HIM!

Seanchan 12/02/21 5:58:15 PM #22 | I've had many different ideas on where to go with my week, though I've got a 3 pack I'd really like to put up, depending upon if any get selected before that point. My musical tastes are not nearly as eclectic as some of you, so my choices are almost always going to trend toward the more mainstream, or at the very least more "accessible"/"easy listening". I did worry that once we got to the user weeks that things would get too obscure...but at the same time I don't mind hearing things I wouldn't expect. Sometimes you get The Knife and Air, other times you get The Pixies or The Avalanches. I'm sure we'll get to Metallica and The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder and stuff like that at some point. I guess we could always take a break at points to do a "classic", should we begin to tail off in participation. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Seanchan 12/02/21 2:24:41 PM #23 | Top Artists
Top Genre - Classic rock Probably 75%+ of my listening due to Rank the Tracks, and that very much shows in my results. Surprised Pink Floyd and Rancid beat out Jessie Ware, LCD Soundsystem, and quite a few others. Maybe because I was bouncing between their songs a lot when trying to rank. Also surprised that Sin tops the song list with 9 plays. I did like that song quite a bit (a minority decision based on RtT) but I figured there had to be a few others from Dua Lipa or even Iron Maiden that I would have played more. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

I'd like to watch those again and then stream Resurrections on HBO Max. Since getting my OLED I don't bother with theaters any more. I can wait for movies to come to streaming services, or in this case watch it day one on a better display. I just did that a few weeks ago!

Topic | Pick a metroidvania for me |
Seanchan 11/27/21 8:10:11 PM #22 | I think Dandara is a small dev indy game. I got it for free on the Epic Game Store at some point. I struggle to think of anything that plays quite like it. You basically jump between points along the walls to move, and there's a decent mix of action/bosses and "platforming" puzzles. It takes some getting used but the uniqueness of it makes it worth at least trying. I didn't like La Mulana at all. I played for a few hours and found it to be inscrutable. I literally just finished playing Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom a few weeks ago. It's fine enough but I wouldn't call it a "top tier" Metroidvania by any stretch. It's almost got too much going on with all the different forms and gear and doodads to collect. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Did a first listen today and this album was a breath of fresh air after the last two weeks. I recognized a few of the songs and was just generally enjoying the vibe of the album.
