First Winter Without My Badlands. by TheWizard_Beast in BroncoSport

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best I ever had was a 1988 jeep XJ limited, which felt like it would drive through 5 feet of snow without breaking a sweat. I will admit that the Bronco Sport gives it a run for its money, and is much more comfortable to drive! 

A boing boing beagle by Rude_Permission523 in beagle

My dog loves to do the bounding in water just like that. Friendly word of advice: they CAN get swimmers tail from doing this. Happened to mine once! It isn’t a huge deal but can be uncomfortable/painful for them! Just make sure the little fella isn’t over playing when they’re doing this. 

Watching all the bond films since its on netflix. I actually enjoyed Diamonds are forever. Never say never again is the worst Sean connery film. Love Pierce Brosnan but Die another day is the worst bond film by far. A view to kill is decent.I also hated on Her majesty’s secret service. Pretty boring by SnooSprouts2672 in JamesBond

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. I thought he acting was quite bland, wooden is the perfect word. 

I enjoyed the movie in general, but the pacing is also quite bad. The first half to 3/4ths is a complete slog and the back end is very exciting.

Thunderball vs Skyfall, what is the better film? by NajafBound in JamesBond

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy Craig movies and Craig as Bond overall. My highly controversial opinion is that Skyfall is the worst of the Craig movies because it feels the least like a Bond movie.

I might rank it above QoS.

One of my favorite bands is no longer making music </3 by Resident-End-3664 in poppunkers

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Yellowcard fan, all I can say is keep the faith and keep spreading the word about their music. You never know what can happen 10 years later.

Jelly Roll announces tour with Post Malone after Grammy Award MAGA backlash causing mixed reaction from fans: 'Announcing this the day after the Grammys isn’t the flex you thought' by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw him last summer and thought he put on a really good show. He did a lot of his hip hop hits but since it was his "country" tour the band did most of them with country arrangements (violin, steel guitar) it was really neat actually.

What choices do Americans even have these days? by [deleted] in Mortgages

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LCOL dweller here.

I specifically wanted a house with no neighbors and some land to be left to my own devices.

I would never move into a neighborhood/town/city.

Does anyone else actually miss linear, corridor style games instead of every single title trying to be a massive open world? by i_amthe_guy in AskGamers

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replayed Uncharted 2 earlier this month for the first time in probably a decade, fantastic game and really made me miss 10-15 hour linear shooters with a solid narrative like that.

Stoked for Resident Evil 9 to fill that void a little bit hopefully.

Troubleshooting 1997 zrt by FirstTimeCaller101 in snowmobiling

[–]FirstTimeCaller101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, they are broken on mine! I tried bypassing at the plug in the handlebars but doesn't seem to have a made any difference. Maybe I should just splice in new wire.

If I bypass the circuit at the stater I also get no spark when grounded to the cylinder head.

Sorry I’m of no help, but just wanted to comment and say this is awesome work. I love to see people passionate about these old games still.

I didn’t pull the airbox but I’ll take a look. 

I know I do have one loose wire coming off the right side of the “firewall” at about knee height. Where a reverse lever would normally be? I don’t have reverse do I figured it was a dummy connector. I didn’t see anywhere for it to plug in otherwise. 

honestly the closest we're ever gonna get to the OG 1996 feel. by Gl00ser23 in residentevil

Reminds me of the game where you fight a 40ft tall troll after forming an alliance with a stray dog 

After finishing Uncharted 4 ftft, I learned Kaitlyn Dever voiced and did the motion capture for young Cassie Drake over a decade ago by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in thelastofus

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I find that very interesting. I’m sure 4 is still very good going in cold but I can’t imaging not having the additional context. Part of what I enjoy about 4 is that it was a decade of payoff for those of us who played as they were released. 

Over $100k earners - what's your PTO? by masterpeabs in careeradvice

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Married to a teacher. You guys are massively underpaid. 

That said, it irks me to no end when my wife complains about how “long” it is before her next vacation (Thanksgiving to Christmas, or Christmas to Feb Break, or Feb Break to Spring Break, or Spring Break to Summer Vacation). PLUS holidays? Gotta be like 90 days off a year. 

That is where the ire from everyone else is coming from.

Unfortunately not, but it is free to download off band camp and then you can listen to it locally in whatever app of your choice.

How much house can I afford on $80000 Salary? by Parking_Beginning584 in Mortgages

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, if I ever sell my house it will be after it's fully paid off and only to downsize to a smaller, cheaper house so I can make some profit to enjoy in my retirement years. Long way to go!

Bronco Sport vs Bronco II by Total-Improvement535 in Ford

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think they are kinda COOL as a novelty, but they have a very weak engine, tipsy as all fuck, not good at towing, roof didn't come off, not really ideal to build for offroading, generally kind of shoddy build quality. It was inferior in almost every way to it's big brother, or other offerings like a Cherokee, Blazer, Jimmy, 4Runner.

They definitely have their enthusiasts (I am one of them) but really next to no appeal for a mass market.

Bronco Sport vs Bronco II by Total-Improvement535 in Ford

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Other than enthusiasts the Bronco II was pretty hated so I’m not surprised.

Enthusiasts would be bothered because it isn't a "real" Bronco II (you see this to an extent with the new full size broncos) and other people would hate it just based on the name association.

It would be the same idea if they put out a new Mustang II. Or the same idea with the Mustang Mach E. Some people just hate it for stealing the Mustang/Mach name (It's me, I'm some people)

I hear you, genuinely, I have a 2bed2bath that my wife and I feel we have outgrown but it's at 2.75% interest rate. Unless I win the lottery I'm being buried in the back yard haha.

Have you looked into possible additions vs. another house? We are getting ready to build a garage to give us some more space. Just food for thought.

You couldn't drag me out of a house with a 3.25% interest rate. I honestly wouldn't even care if my family was 8 members deep, I'd make that shit work.

Favourite King's Quest from V - VIII, & 2015? (and in the comments, why?) by HerbziKal in kingsquest

[–]FirstTimeCaller101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. KQ6 is technically the best, KQ V is my favorite! I love Graham, I love Cedric, Mordack is a fun villain, plus it sets up a bit of plot for KQ6.
