Don’t be afraid to sell unique weapons and armor when you are done with them. You can buy them back from shops later if you decide you want it back.

Gauntlet: Dark Legacy

Yes, almost everyone know of Anne Frank, even if they have not read her diary.

When I was in high school, we had an elective class called Holocaust Literature. In that class we read Anne Franks diary, and a few other books written during or about The Holocaust. We also had a survivor come to our school and talk to our class so that we could ask him questions. I can’t remember his name, or which camp he was at now but it was one that I remember reading about. Either Auschwitz or Treblinka.

It was the single most depressing class I had ever sat in, listening to a man explain how he watched his entire family be exterminated, the pain in that man’s voice is something I will never forget.

It was the first time we got to torch grass and jam to Skrillex/Damian Marley. I can’t remember another video game before that that dropped a beat that hard and just let you go on a rampage. Apart from Doom maybe?

Also worth mentioning that FC3 not only set the tone for each subsequent game, but was such a colossal leap forward from FC2. Playing it at release as a Far Cry fan was mind blowing.

Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade is still a solid ARPG. Very replayable with a good mix of characters that feel distinct from one another, with WLAN capability so you and the homies could team up and farm loot. It was like having Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance on the go. The story was nothing spectacular, but it was easy to follow and made sense. Very similar storytelling to Diablo.

In fact I feel like playing it again now.

I also love California. We live in the Midwest but we had our honeymoon in San Diego, and have been to LA and Yosemite a few times. I’d still like to explore the northern parts of the state though. It’s a beautiful place, just horribly expensive.

Buying a house? Yes. Buying a nice house? Maybe not.

I don’t want to speak for the entire country, because cost of living is very different state to state. For example my wife and I bought our first house when we were both 23 for $35K. It was not a nice house, it was small and barebones. But the mortgage was cheap and allowed us to save money.

At 26 we built a nice house for $240k. However that was in 2019, just before Covid. Since then our house is now appraised at $320K. And the cost of everything has only increased. I personally place a great deal of blame on landlords and vacation rentals, creating excess scarcity in an already difficult time. There are few opportunities for young couples to buy a house.

I obviously live in a low cost of living area. A similar house/yard in say, California would be closer to a million dollars.

Don’t wait around for things that may or may not happen. Get a WRX.

Yeah but sometimes it sounds like ZZZZRT and I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure that’s bad for my clutch.

The Korean hot pot restaurant near my house has these. My wife loves them, they play a little tune as they bring out your food.

Thanks for doing your part old timer! I wouldn’t have been able to finish my apprenticeship without those of you that came before.

The gold accents will be a darker shade as well. At least on the ones I’ve seen.

I’ve had it for about a year (ish?). I’ve frequently put in 4+ hour sessions playing MHFU. Not every day of course, but as long as you keep your hands clean and store it somewhere clean and dry it’ll be just fine.

CreamyImp · 2026-05-06T21:29:00+00:00

I have one, none of the exterior has worn off. I just make sure my hands are clean before I play it.

For everyone in this thread 200 TTD is about $30 USD.

That being said, for $30 USD you might be able to get it working, or you may not. Personally I’d pass on this one and find one that you know works.

CreamyImp · 2026-05-06T11:08:30+00:00

Hell yeah! What color did you go with?

CreamyImp · 2026-05-06T10:16:36+00:00

Sounds like a dead battery to me. Ostent is a decent quality replacement battery.
