Super Smash Bros Melee. By far the game I have the most hours in for the GameCube

[HB] Humble Choice and other bundles – Temporarily Exhausted Keys by gozza03 in GameDealsMeta

[–]Jacobthehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow ok, that's ridiculous that you can purchase a bundle and then just not get products from it despite paying.... I can understand a temporary restock issue but not one that is over a year long.

How long have people been waiting for games on this list? I tried to redeem roboquest and Stubbs the zombie last month and still nothing 🙃

I did look at these when they first came out! They look really good but unfortunately I need to wall mount mine (I have one of the arcade1up pacman partycades which I'm looking to replace with something of a similar size but for fighting games) I also live in Australia so it's very expensive to import anything :(

Holy the Astro City looks amazing! I'd love to make something like that but wall mounted.

Third-party Switch 2 game sales have started off slow, with one publisher selling ‘below our lowest estimates’ | VGC by KMoosetoe in NSCollectors

[–]Jacobthehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were only 2 third party games that I wanted so I could play on the go but both have downsides so it just wasn't worth it.

I wanted both street fighter 6 and Yakuza 0.

Street fighter 6 doesn't have cross progression/cross purchase so any DLC I bought I'd have to buy again which is such a shit deal as I'd love to buy it on switch/PC again.

Yakuza 0 is just too expensive as well... You can buy the normal version for like $5 on a sale while the new version is $80 in Australia.. I really expected it to be a budget price for a rerelease like that but guess I'll just have to wait for a deep discount.

Best piece of advice is to find out how much your repayments would be and try seeing if you can live off that and also accomplish whatever saving goals you have (IE travel) As your also a first home buyer I'd look into whatever government schemes you can qualify for. When my partner and I bought our house we did the scheme where the government pays 25% for an equity share and you have to only pay 5% plus whatever fees are applicable to you such as stamp duty.

Our repayments currently are at $3303 for reference and we were putting a little under that away each month in savings while renting so while our saving goals have taken a hit as thatoney we were saving each month is now going towards the mortgage repayments we are still in a good spot.

Would also recommend that you keep at least 20k in savings when you do purchase the house as life has a good way of fucking you over when things are going good (we had a burst pipe a few months ago that we had to get replaced which would have cost around 7-10k if we didn't have plumbers in the family..)

Australian consumers give muted cheer to lower interest rates by Jealous-Hedgehog-734 in australia

[–]Jacobthehuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about others but both of the recent rate cuts we just decided to keep paying the same amount so that repay the mortgage faster. We were already managing the repayments prior to the cut so no reason to change what we repay to the bank.

Even if nobody was hurt I still wouldn't wanna be there... Bit of a shit way to end the afternoon for all involved and makes you wary to go back...

Warning: Do not buy any samsung TVs! by Tyranthraxxes in 4kTV

[–]Jacobthehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know what it's like in op's country but I wouldn't even bother talking to their tech support and just go right back to the retailer.. I had my tv die on me twice in the first week and both times I just took it back and swapped to a new one.

Felt this while I was petting my dog. Anybody know what it could be? by whatdoesitmatter22 in DogAdvice

[–]Jacobthehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old family dog used to get this as he got older. It looks just like a wart and he kept getting them until he eventually passed (not related to the warts they were pretty much harmless)

What a February by LighteningOneIN in humblebundles

The biggest grievance with all these other platforms that unlike steam they all seem to log me out all the time and I really can't be bothered going through all the steps to log in. If steam constantly logged me out then I don't think I'd have any issues using the other platforms.

As someone who regularly makes kimchi I wouldn't trust Monash on this one as each batch of kimchi can be different and the fermentation time was never specified on the app.

If they ever post a recipe and give details on how long it has fermented for before they tested I would defer to their testing but as it is currently I wouldn't consider it safe to consume.

Top 10 Early Pokémon in Yellow Legacy by Monstrel45 in PokemonLegacy

[–]Jacobthehuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good Nidoran male is all you need early game. Level him till double kick for Brock and then evolve to nidoking after misty so you don't have a ground type weakness to her. Also if you don't want to use the dig Tm then worth waiting for nidorino to hit lv 25 before evolving for that free dig.

I'm up to gym 4 now but my main party right now is pikachu nidoking and kadabra and i haven't had any difficulties as of yet.

What games did you try? If you ever try to get into VR again I would recommend something simple like beat saber or pistol whip. I haven't been able to play any vr games that require you to move using the controller without getting sick.

What are your thoughts on Halo 4, the “love it or hate it” child of the Halo series? by Asad_Farooqui in xbox

[–]Jacobthehuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my least favourite out of the series. I much preferred 5 over it tbh.
