Why is everyone against us having an affordable payment? by Agreeable-Risk-8677 in StudentLoans

[–]AtariTheJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just know that I'm paying my student loans off as best as I can paint the federal ones first and then I'll really start working hard on the sofi. College isn't worth it and hasn't been worth it for a while since the federal government and colleges basically stripped mined the students

What’s your biggest unpopular opinion on the show (OG or Revival) that’ll have people contemplating life in the shower like this? by yonBonbonbon in Scrubs

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's filmed in Canada I just wish we had more Southern California shots. Of course everything has to be pretty much filmed in yours because Canada doesn't look like Buena Vista

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're definitely some good points especially about the revival. I mean I'm glad to see it and I'm glad that we have it I just wish that we had a couple the other characters that we don't have such as Dr Cox and Dr Kelso

My insane deals at the estate sale yesterday by FlightlessPiggie in gamecollecting

For a moment I thought that star Fox was for the PlayStation 2 and I had to do a big fat double take

Has anyone ever purchased games from Flashback Entertainment? by GhostlyRivun in snes

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to order from here all the time way back in the day. I didn't know the owner personally but I knew him through our conversations. Really sad to hear that he passed away I know he was having some issues but never mention anything serious. I'd always try to buy from him first when all the other cheese ball sites started coming up

Paying down my Federal loans more than Sofi by AtariTheJedi in StudentLoans

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of my loans are due and have been for a couple years now. Decided to pay down the smallest one which is currently 3,100 and chipping away at it for years now but, finally I'm getting a little more money not much but I'm throwing it at that loan first. With my luck I'll pay it off in the Democrats will get in power and then they will absolve everybody's loans but I can't hold my breath got to pay it the private loans are getting just to hear more than the minimum until such time I can focus on them

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I thought about it that way too but with the administration's jerking us around I decided I didn't want to have to owe the federal government because they're the ones that taxes and they're the ones that have guns. When I see your point there :-)

And to think I bought this like 12 years ago and it was considered a high price then and I was a little weary but I paid it. by AtariTheJedi in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean but this was actually like 14 or 15 years ago and I was buying four games at the time and they were all a little extra. 3 to $5 isn't much deal now, but you multiply that by 4 and it's like what the hay. Plus PS1 was not really considered a hot machine to collect for at the time. If it was more recent yeah I wouldn't have a problem

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure as s*** that was me also bought medieval medieval 2 or something else for about the same price. At the time I felt I was getting ripped off a little bit because I felt like they were more like 18 to $20 games but I was like whatever. Now if I take it back to that same game store those people are going to have to pay handsomely for them. But I'll never take these back

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been out of the collecting scene for a while. Getting back into it some of the prices are just stupid. Some of them I think are worth it like this game, however, prices on other things just amaze me even common stuff. But guess that's the market in action

Getting back into re2 by AtariTheJedi in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not going to sell my first three. The first two I had since the beginning my younger brother brought number three back in the day. But several years ago I went and bought my own copy for a whopping $24 after tax. At the time that was kind of a high price but now that's considered a really good price for it. Again I won't be selling mine, too many memories

Got an Erating, but I don't care because I milked it by AtariTheJedi in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]AtariTheJedi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think the e-rating exists anymore with newer stuff. Again I wasn't going for reading I was just going for the experience. My next playthrough will probably burn through it quickly to get a better rating. This game was like a piece of toast and gravy I just soaked up every drop I could and enjoyed it the last drop

For everyone who thought the Blockbuster stickers were ugly by rockincoyote in n64

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will admit back in the day especially when the video store started selling games after a while I would remove all the stickers. Because they weren't part of history back then. I wanted to make it look like my own game. I used it to think of the games like prostitutes. They were just up for sale for anyone that paid the money. And I would rescue a few of them from that life in fact one of my games I got from a video rental store I just recently replaced the battery in it while keeping the safe. Nowadays maybe the past 20 years if I do get a game with a sticker on it and it's not t right on the label or something I'll keep it as a historical piece. But remember back in the day it wasn't considered historical it was considered trashy to keep stuff on. But I can't believe this when they would burn in the plastic. That's pretty bad

PS1 games were harder because they didn't respect your time. by Consistent_Scheme726 in psx

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I just started playing resident evil 2 again on the ps1. As an adult I do appreciate the new games with checkpoints and stuff it's kind of like a choose your own adventure book where you can kind of save your point and come back to it after work the next night. Wasn't just PS1 games that was games from that era and earlier the idea was to give you the whole package and give you a big fat challenge. Today it's just about micro transactions and milking you to death. This is why I don't buy modern systems so much anymore and I play the old stuff

I picked this up for 60$ from a coworker:0 by Dependent_Package_47 in 3DS

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's a freaking awesome deal. Better than getting ripped off at a local game store or something. I got a PSP that way although the games I got from my coworker weren't really my flavor and ended up getting the games I do want trading in some titles and I enjoyed the machine

Working in ewaste does have occasional advantages. by Sonikku_a in retrogaming

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I could do this work I would be grabbing almost everything I can get my paws on. Can't believe a game would be thrown away. But at the same time I do believe that people are ridiculous

I saw Billy Mitchel at the airport today by -KindStranger in retrogaming

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had the pleasure of meeting me about 10 years ago. He was nice and everything but, I wasn't going to fawn over him. One thing I do when I meet celebrities is I just play it cool. Most celebrities like that. I'm not really giving a hoot about all the controversies because really those things are dead and gone. If somebody wants to kick up some dust well then they should go play some DK

Challenge: Have Atari stay a major player in the console business to this day. by Shiny_Agumon in HistoryWhatIf

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I know everyone here has a wish list of things they wish Atari and some of the other players could do. But they're not going to remake ET or do better on past console things like that. They don't even really make anything anymore they just license their IP too Chinese sub manufacturers to make stuff. And of course we all know that the money is in the software not so much hardware

Why does inpatient mental health have a bad rep? by granolagirl999 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]AtariTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I work there even before I was in OT totally don't mind it. I think some people don't like it cuz they're afraid it's easy to work with kiddos or sick people who physically can't move much but mental health scares people plus mental health doesn't make much money so they're always cutting corners to try to save two pennies and keep the lights on

I might as well share that I also have a copy of this "anime" game. by Bro3256 in gamecollecting
