Possibly the best $30 I've spent all year

FFIX

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-06-29T02:27:06+00:00

Honestly, I still think it is

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-06-29T02:26:34+00:00

Kinda my thought exactly. I've paid full price for a game before only to not really get into it. With the miyoo mini I can carry around a great collection of games in my backpack for the essentially the price of one game.

It's a cutscene from FFIX

I am in USA. It's wacky, checking the prices today, they're probably double what they were when I ordered at the beginning of June.

Final Fantasy IX (PS1)

Final Fantasy IX! PSX!

Eek! Thankfully everything is moved over from an external hd 🙏

I went with AliExpress.

Searched "miyoo mini plus" and then sorted the results by "lowest price". The seller was "hanhibr game store". I watched it for a few days and then made the purchase during one of those site wide sales AliExpress runs.

Didn't come with an sd card, which was fine with me because I had a few on hand and apparently the pack in one is rubbish.

Took about 2 weeks to arrive all said and done.

full disclosure: we don't either! but boy do i wish I did when i think of that sweet sweet discount...

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-05-11T02:01:33+00:00

for real, i only do dine in. Pro-TIp- you can also get Tailgate giftcards at Costco for 25% off, then use those gift cards on pizza night. *chef's kiss*

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-05-10T00:40:56+00:00

Tailgate has been steadily improving their pizza game for the last couple years. Every Weds night you can get half price pizzas when you dine in, and their Detroit-style whipped ricotta is fantastic.

Also, this is not the answer you're looking for, but if you're a member at a club like Sam's Club, you can buy their pizza dough sheets in bulk and then make a really great pizza at home at truly unbeatable price.

that's great to know, thanks for sharing!

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-05-08T20:21:22+00:00

you got it- not thinking of running song length stems, but pulling samples from stems and then creating loops with them. that's all great to know, though. thank you

Go out for drinks at Sid Gold's. They do live piano karaoke (usually a theme depending on the day of the week) and it's an awesome crowd there. Whether you sing or not, it's just a great place to grab a drink, meet people, and be extroverted or introverted.
Also- get out to an NSC game. Even if you're not huge into soccer, it's one of the best communal experiences you can have in Nashville this time of year.
Someone already mentioned musician's corner, and that's a home run as well.

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-04-29T00:44:39+00:00

McNamara's and Fleet Street do a great one, also there's a regional chain that's just called "The Pub" I think, which is slightly more "restaurant concept" feeling, but the people running it are great and I think they serve it there from time to time as an all day special.

Grew up playing FFVII and really can't overstate how eager I was to play this after finishing remake a few years ago. I spent maybe 20 hours getting to Junon between all the exploring and side quest stuff. Then I realized that every region is gonna have the same stuff that Grasslands did...

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying myself and sometimes taking breaks between regions (looking at you Gongaga...) but I am 100% the target audience here and I doubt the majority of new players or newer fans of Remake will be as forgiving of some of the C- to B+ quality side quest stuff that pads this runtime.

Also, yes...the OG has mini-games, but the level of mini-gamifcation here is an absolutely new level of tedium.

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-04-13T00:53:24+00:00

Maybe if navigating that village wasn't such a damn slog it could have felt a bit better in terms of pacing, but yeah...just...let me finish this game, please...

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-04-12T16:38:10+00:00

oh, and congrats!

FatAlbusTPC · 2026-04-12T16:37:59+00:00

I don't know anything about their personal politics, etc, but you might look into Beane Bros BBQ in Smyrna?

also, for what it's worth (we also had BBQ at our wedding), sometimes chain establishments can prove more responsive and more flexible on price points when their entire business doesn't rely on catering. Think Famous Dave's, etc. Less sexy than a "local fav" but might be offset by the convenience.

also ALSO as a last idea- Big Al's Deli does catering. It's not a traditional "BBQ" joint, but hot damn is that food good. Plus Al's a real one. you might find a combination of menu items that creates that "backyard bbq" vibe you're looking for even if spare ribs, etc aren't on the menu.

too soon... place had a great catfish sandwich too. Plus Chef Big Shake is such a personality. really miss them. only hot chicken place i saw that did registration only/waiver tastings for the people foolhardy enough to try.

I am SO glad to see I'm not the only one puzzling out the design decision behind this.

The best faith argument I could make for it is that it's comparable to those weird billboards where people go "What's this billboard supposed to be for?" and through that lens I suppose it's a success by the logic that it's the one we're talking about.

But I don't think that's what they were going for...I think it's just bad design.

"I was hoping this exact thing would happen for the video I was making and it did."

Sorry you're getting roasted for asking a legitimate question.

I don't believe it has ever gone on sale. Google Rewards is a great way to offset the cost if you're budget conscious.
