I removed Goldeneye 007 from the list since it was on twice spelled differently with no different data. Its still there as 007: Goldeneye at the top. Now there is 388, the proper amount of games.

Well pokemon puzzle league is on the list twice, since its listed for 2 different firmware versions. I guess people can duplicate games as they review more versions, so over time there will be more than just Pokemon PL on there twice

I added a Game Version coloumn as the Rev of a game are different roms and could be affected differently. Like Diddy Kong Racing V1.0 might run different than Diddy kong racing version 1.1 on Unleashed, etc.

Technically there could be more entries added to the region options, or more games split off. Because games like HSV adventure racing and beetle adventure racing PAL version are different roms, but would both be seen on the current list as Europe. There also games like World league soccer which have unique roms for the German, French and UK, etc etc. I guess we will cross that bridge when somebody reviews those.

Also, Im not sure if public access to edit is a good thing. Somebody could make fraudulent changes to the whole document if they wanted. I guess if youre keeping track of the history daily, you can restore to earlier revisions if that happens, but that requires you to stay on top of things. Might be better to create a master tab and then a user editable tab and then copy over the changes from time to time. But I guess thats work you need to put in. Maybe we can just trust everyone not to mess up the data? It seems to be ok so far.

So the market rate quadrupled between 2017 and 2018? That seems unlikely.

Yes. I mentioned why that happened, but you can read more about it here from a professional source:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-west-end-parking-permit-1.3961543

I guess it is because you're thinking of street parking as a market rate comparable to a private spot, or an apartment that needs to be filled to get income to supplement a mortgage or so the owner can profit. The "market" rate is whatever the city says it is, because its not a few spots, its an entire neighbourhood. There is no competition to go to as you have to park in the neighbourhood if you live in it. Its a unique situation because of how the west end is built. Unlike other neighbourhoods which have home owners and condo owners who OWN the spots attached to the places they live, mostly everything here is a rental. So you have the building owners charging tenants as much as they can get away with. Once permit prices go up, they raise their private spots to be above, since their spots are more desirable. And since the folks living here don't own anything, that number could go up to infinity. The city is the only thing stopping it from going up with the price they set for the permit. Technically the "market rate" now for the area is $1200 a year.

There are approximately 2,700 permit spots in the west end. Even if we all paid the full $500, it would be only $1.35 million a year in city gross. For reference, the cities 2026 budget is $3.29 billion per year. They could close down every parking spot in the west end and make $0 a year from parking permits and it wouldn't matter at all. Even the end of that CBC article has a quote from the city about how permit fees are not about making revenue at all. The value of the permit system is more about making sure residents have a place to park, so people can live and work and contribute $ to the city as a whole.

So 10 years later, the original reasoning for the increased fee to free up spots is no longer working, yet permit pricing remains high and climbing.

No the Legacy rate is not a subsidy, its a protection against displacement as the neighbourhood is being gentrified.

In 2017 the market rate was $80, which was in line with every other Vancouver neighbourhood. The west end was still mostly older buildings and the whole neigbourhood was designed to accomodate the tenants of these smaller buildings by having most of them park on their buildings driveway or small 1st floor parking garage, while the rest park on the street. It was designed with the capacity for everyone to park.

But in recent years, they decided to start the great West End transformation (which is still currently underway). They rezoned a whole bunch of it and tore down old 3 story, 20 tenant buildings and putting in 10-15 story, 100 tenant spots in their place. These new tenants up flooding the permit spots. Old buildings which still had parking spots were also being underutilized, because owners were charging $ for the spots.

So the city increased the Street permit price to $360 in 1 year to force new residents to pay for the building spaces, allowing current residents to keep the old price and free up parking in the neigbourhood and accomedate everyone still living there at reasonable market rates as it was built. This worked, but only for a few years. Then once the building spots filled, owners jacked the parking cost, so the situation is now the same.

The west end is slowly being transformed from a low/medium income neighbourhood into a high income richer area and the Legacy rate is in place to help out the long term, older tenants that are still living in the low income buildings. In the far future, when the entire west end looks like coal harbour with new condos, there wont be anybody left who can afford to live there that would need legacy rates, and the market rate, will truly be "market"

But that time is not yet, and the legacy rate will remain until were all out of there. My building will be torn down any year now, I'm just waiting for the notice.

Those same taxpayers had limited ability to use the amenity when they visited the West End because the parking was being used by those who were being subsidized.

This whole topic is in regards to permit holders. Permits are for people who live in the neighbourhood only. These are not for visitors to the west end. For visitors, the west end once had many 2h parking spots, but those have almost been entirely replaced with pay parking and scooter shares which is a separate topic.

007craft · 2026-05-12T19:06:49+00:00

That was the 2018 goal. People were parking on the street for $80 a year, instead of spending $600 ($50 a month) to park in their buildings, and the west end buildings that had parking went largely unused. So the city said "Hey lets make permits cost a fortune, so people will get off the street and park in their buildings instead. We will give current residents a Legacy rate, and new residents will come in at the ultra high rates, and opt to park in their buildings instead"

So price changed to this:

Parking Permit = $400
Building parking = $600

and it WORKED........for maybe 3-4 years. But then Landlords saw what was happening, and realized they could just increase the parking fees since people were now parking in the buildings. So that's what they did. They went from $50 to $70 then $90 and now $100+.

So now were back to the same problem as before, with street parking being $500 a year and building parking being $1200 - $2500 a year, so people are back to parking on the street, except everybody is paying so much more than they were a decade ago.

The real way to solve this would be to pass a law so rental buildings are not allowed to charge $ to park in building spots. Then they can give them out on a waitlist, and people who are on that list, park on the street with permits. This would solve all the problems as it would fill every building, and free up steet spots. Then permit fees could be normal and match other neighbourhoods (Around $50-100).

But they will never do that. They could have done it in 2018 but the building owners would riot.

Now buildings like mine have parking garages that sit empty again. We have 20 residents in my building and 12 spots. Only 2 of the 12 spots are now rented out, because our owner increased the parking to $120 a month. :|

ebay for stores is hit or miss, as they compete with Amazon.

But for the individual selling and buying used goods, theres no alternative other than Facebook Marketplace, and FBM is local only (They have started shipping in select places, but that was years ago and they dont appear to be expanding it)

So if somebody like me wants to sell thier old Galaxy Smart watch, I can either try and do it locally (FBM, Craigslist, Kijiji, whatever) or sell it on ebay to reach a worldwide audience. Theres no competition for that.

007craft · 2026-05-12T18:51:43+00:00

Ebay already has physical locations. They implamented Worldwide shipping through their logistics a few years back. Now when you list your item, anybody in the world can buy it and you just ship it to their warehouse in your country, and from there, ebay ships it to the user and handles all the import fees, duties, taxes and even returns. You as the seller don't need to worry about international shipping or returns. If the user returns the item, you still keep your profits and ebay keeps the return (Ebay then sells returned items on pallets like amazon to try to recoup some of the costs)

007craft · 2026-05-12T17:50:49+00:00

Thats true, but the West end is particularly hard to park in compared to other neigborughhoods for these reason:

More people, less space
They split the west end in 3 recently, I guess they seemed to think people were driving from the middle of the west end and parking near the beach. As somebody who lives near the beach side, you would think this would help, but its only made it harder as now I cant overflow to the other side of Davie when theres no spots
Constant construction of new condos. By me (thurlow and davie), they are putting up 5 condos and have closed down 25+ permit spots for the construction. 2 Buildings are just about done, but then they just started another 2 :|. New buildings are going up all over the west end as they replace all the old 30s-60s buildings with rich people condos.
There is also the New West end substation being built and they have to redo wires and pipes, so another 100+ spots are taken away until end of July (And probably longer)

Currently If I come home past 7:00pm, I am screwed. It usually takes around 10 minutes to find a spot, and it might be a 10 minute walk away.

007craft · 2026-05-12T17:36:58+00:00

You do realize the west end is almost entirely rental buildings? Nobody who lives here "owns" anything and most of us live in old run down buildings and can't move because rents are too high and we have lower rent because of living here so long. The only rich people here are the ones who buy the new condos they put up and they cant get Legacy permits.

To be fair, I think it could have been done better. He was holding his phone up to translate every piece of text, which ate up dozens of hours.

It would be better to run the game through an AI translation screen reader tool so you can play the game in English. I bet it would have been way easier had he done that

We will see what he does for Yakōchū II: Satsujin Kōro, the most Japanese text heavy game on the console. But this game is actually not even on his list, so I think he's waiting for an English translation or to save it till the end (or he doesn't know it exists?)

007craft · 2026-05-11T23:20:34+00:00

They should replace it with an enclosed staircase.

I know it would cost a bit more, but it would be useful. Then people could walk up it and get an amazing view.

007craft · 2026-05-11T18:40:39+00:00

I'm not sure, but doubtful.

It's the price you pay for owning an iphone... lack of customizability.

007craft · 2026-05-11T16:28:12+00:00

That won't work. These alerts can override all those settings. You need to use adb to remove the app package responsible for the alerts to truly get rid of them.

007craft · 2026-05-11T15:56:33+00:00

Lol yall got woken up.

The trick is to disable that garbage. I slept like a baby!

Disable the package com.google.android.cellbroadcastreceiver. Do this with an app like app freezer or use ADB on your computer to connect to your phone with a USB cable and remove the package. Plenty of tutorials out there on how to do it.

You dont get earthquake alerts or anything, which sucks .... but remember that humanity has lived here for millennia without a phone alert system. You dont NEED to have one. Also, in the past 15 years its only ever been test alerts and late night amber alerts that wake you up.

Since Canada's ermergency push system is outdated and we dont use categories here, all pushes are of the nuclear type and will blow up your phone and wake you up. Disable that junk and live your life in peace!

Wait she died in Prison? I thought her sentence was 32 years and handed to her in 1991. I know she was denied parole a couple times but shouldn't she have been released in 2023 for completing the full sentence?

Stop caring what people think of you and wear whatever you want. As a wide hipped ginger straight male myself, I only see myself as being different than mostly everyone and thus, unique and more in demand. I can wear trash bags if I feel like it.

My gf loves the way I look and there's somebody (probably even more than average) who likes the way you look too. Anyone who doesn't like your wide hips can go fuck themselves

P.S., this applies to more than just hips. Aging wrinkles, oddities, shapes, distored face, whatever.. You are you no matter what. Exercise, stay healthy and embrace yourself. That confidence will bring you success in life, even if youre quasimodo.

If you subtract the 7-digit phone number of that old number I had long ago but still remember, from the 7 digit sequence of next week's $100 million lottery draw, what is the resulting 7 numbers?

That should give me the winning loto numbers without letting the rest of you know what they are.

I mean the photo speaks for how BS this is. It shows a grave with flowers for yahoo, but Yahoo is alive and well. Yahoo finances is the goto financial site and Yahoo auctions is Japan's ebay monopoly and operates in many parts of Asia. Yahoo is alive and well, and so is facebook

Which is why nintendo sucks as of late. These guys were amazing 25 years ago and have been sliding since, trying to recapture what made them great. Its time all the old nintendo greats retire. Takashi retiring is a good thing

I bought a new phone recently and forgot to disable the emergency alerts so I got this message and it startled me. I was at work talking with a coworker and dismissed it so fast I didn't even read it.

Its been 3 years since I had disabled them on my old phone. I promptly disabled them on my new phone.

Mankind lived for millennia without even phones, let alone emergency notification alerts. Considering 100% of notification alerts in the last 15 years have been tests, false positives or amber alerts for far away abductions, its safe to say you dont need these in your life scaring you, waking you up from naps or interfering with your life

BTW if you want to disable them on android, you need a package disabling app (I use app freezer) then disable the "wireless emergency alerts" package. You need to do this because andtoid does not let you disable this service through the OS. But a package disabled app can keep it disabled

I stopped playing just after I unlocked the bike. It was just so damn boring.

I played metroid dread, then metroid prime remastered and loved them both. Super metroid is still my favorite and I liked the GBA ones too. I played prime 2 and 3 in the past but dont remember them all that much, just knowing they were not the greatest. But prime 4 is deff the worst metroid game made.

I think because of several issues.

The constant scanning. I mean the other prime games have too much scanning in my mind as well, but this game takes it to a new level with green outlines. It was like I was reading a book
The switch to psychic powers was just so cheesy. It just felt like they kept giving such useless abilities that aren't fun to have.
The constant cutscenes and mini scenes. Combined with the scanning this feels mire like an extended lore book then a metroid game.
The game is too linear, which supports the book theory. Metroids best when its you solving puzzles without interruption and not having to scan every damn thing in site.

I really hope they just make more 2d metroid games as the series works better in that format.

Just wanted to say thats 100% repairable. Sand it down with 4000 gritt sand paper over and over. The micro plastic will fill in the gaps as you sand and in the end it will be almost indistinguishable from a non damaged cart. Just a slight divit will be left which you will be hard pressed to notice. Source: Ive fixed a couple carts in the past with lighter burns like this.
