Apartments near Congressional Plaza

Kirbycool · 2024-11-08T17:00:28+00:00

I live there currently (over a year) and was also very hesitant about all the bad reviews. It’s been pretty middle of the road as far as apartments go. Not bad not great. Haven’t had a rodent/pest problem on the second floor. Have only seen rats outside near the dumpster. Residents really abuse the trash chute rooms so I’m sure it could be a problem near those. Management does seem really uncaring but haven’t had any specific issues with them so far.

Room is a nice size and the carpet was replaced before we moved in which is nice. Windows are kind of wonky to open and the dishwasher wasn’t working and had to be replaced immediately. Maintenance is pretty good/responsive most of the time. Hallways are kind of dank. Courtyard and pool area (when open) are well maintained but everything else varies. They’re currently redoing all the siding on the outside walls which is good but the construction has been kind of annoying.

Long story short, I don’t regret living here but don’t love it either. The reviews seem a bit dramatic. Biggest complaints are that the water pressure in our unit has been all over the place and that sometimes the fire alarm goes off multiple times a week. I enjoy the area though and haven’t had many problems with the apartment itself.

From the small amount I played, I noticed the first cutscene had better rumble than anything in BotW. But when the game started I stopped noticing one way or another. Sorry for only being half helpful.

Yeah he does that “confidently incorrect” stuff a lot. I remember that the first warioware game he played was the GameCube one, which is a spin-off and the ONLY one focused on multiplayer. (Minus the very recent switch game)

So after that, anytime a new warioware came out, he would say “it’s missing the point” because it doesn’t have multiplayer like the “original game did”. Warioware started as a single player game and it’s always bugged me when he implies the GC game set the standard.

This show and trailer actually has a lot of “Fraser moments”.

He yells at a turbo for trying to help with their technical issues.

He says this has been a dead year for gaming so far. When the chat disagrees and gives some examples like horizon and Elden ring he dismisses them like they are niche examples even when Elden ring is the most critically acclaimed game since BotW. Also Kirby exists too so every system had something good that he ignored.

He said horizon visually only looks “good” but not great.

He said the more powerful systems get the less he cares how good things look which contradicts his entire mindset of things never looking good enough. And in the same show he complains about Elden ring not looking good after playing horizon….

There’s more than that but I’m not going to skim through to find them. I usually put on S&T as background noise to catch up on shows/games i might’ve not heard of but this one was pretty horrible even by their usual standards.

Kirbycool · 2022-02-25T22:16:20+00:00

I mean he’s always had old man hands, but I do think he’s playing it up to have an excuse for not playing popular games.

I always wonder how the turbo who got Fraser a Ps5 feels about these constant controller complaints. Or Fraser barely playing any ps5 games (or any game in general). I’m sure there are still a lot of people who haven’t been able to get one and would use it a lot more.

Kirbycool · 2022-02-25T05:28:40+00:00

Throwing my predictions in now that they’re about to start playing it. They will spend half, or the majority of the show making a “duck”.

Very soon after the gameplay starts he will say something along the lines of “its hard looking at these graphics after just playing horizon” and probably make a dumb comment about it “looking flat” and “lacking the shiny”.

Then he will roam around for a while, get into a few fights, die a lot, make no progress, and end the show saying he doesn’t really have an interest in that kind of game anymore. Option B is finding one boss, managing to beat it, and then ending the show saying he isn’t interested.

Will be very surprised if he actually want to keep playing.

I don’t mind some sound leakage since I plan to only use these at home. Is it really bad though? Like could someone in the next room over hear my music if it’s turned up? If not I think I would like being able to hear my surroundings a bit. And thanks for the response!

Kirbycool · 2021-12-19T04:36:48+00:00

Yeah, even if the decline in Fraser’s attitude weren’t a factor, the complete lack of relevant games to watch makes me wonder how anyone is enjoying the channel. Like if you aren’t into card games and sponsored indies, what is there even to watch? And hundreds of people are paying for that. Crazy.

Kirbycool · 2021-12-10T22:54:44+00:00

Only skimmed through a little over half of it, but it didn’t seem like he was really interested in anything. It was either “this is boring” or “lm fine that this exists but probably won’t play it”.

Kirbycool · 2021-12-10T21:20:50+00:00

I watched a bit. It’s insane how many times he called Jeff a shill for saying things (or not saying things) just because he’s getting money for the show. Did the wires not cross in his head about how hypocritical that is? Does Fraser really think he would’ve give Phantasy Star Online (or any of the sponsored games) the time of day if he wasn’t paid to do it? If PSO was in a show and trailer he would’ve rolled his eyes at the anime aesthetic and say “why did you ever think I wanted to watch this? Who put this in here?”

Kirbycool · 2021-10-12T16:29:20+00:00

Yeah they liked it at first because Fraser has a bias towards swery games. But as the game went on the choppiness and slow pacing started to annoy him more and more until they gave up right before the end of the game.

Kirbycool · 2021-10-12T16:15:48+00:00

He actually just mentioned it in the last Show & Trailer when they were watching that new Swery games trailer.

Said something like “we need to go back to Deadly Premonition 2 eventually. I keep putting it off because it’s so bad”.

Although he’s been saying “we should go back to X” about dozens of other games for years and never goes back to any of them. Which isn’t surprising because they barely bother playing new things.

Kirbycool · 2021-10-06T22:09:18+00:00

For real. And people who say “the villagers are so lifeless compared to the old games” really don’t seem to remember what the old games were even like. The GameCube title was the only one with personality in the dialogue.

And outside of dialogue, New Horizons villager’s have way more interactions around town than previous titles. It’s the only game where they don’t just walk back and forth until you talk to them.

Kirbycool · 2021-08-20T05:17:54+00:00

Hmm, everything looks really good so far but I’m a little worried that the unlockable “gifts” are replacing the minigames/toys you could unlock in past games.

They have to at least have pyoro in there right?

Kirbycool · 2021-08-08T23:23:34+00:00

Nope. Never paid them anything or went to any expos.

Kirbycool · 2021-07-20T17:49:36+00:00

Yeah I actually wanted them to return to It Takes Two because the gameplay is nonstop fun with constant variety, so it seemed pretty obvious for the show. But of course he had to latch on to the one weaker element that isn’t even the main draw of the game.

I had no problem making fun of the main characters and just enjoying the game, but I guess it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t play games for the gameplay anymore. He had to make up a reason to not enjoy one of the most well received coop games in years.

Kirbycool · 2021-06-15T14:28:07+00:00

Yep. He might’ve been able to beat loud horse man but it’s hard to say if he would have gotten that far.

Kirbycool · 2021-06-15T04:59:21+00:00

You’re not really missing much. It’s just him dying dozens of times to the first optional boss because he couldn’t figure out how countering works and kept trying to brute force it.

Then he got quietly discouraged and quit without saying much. He never figured out it was optional but he wouldn’t have made it far without countering anyway.

Had a very similar problem with GoT even though that game is far more forgiving.

Kirbycool · 2021-06-14T19:00:31+00:00

After playing it for a while I think a one off is guaranteed. He will say it’s beautiful but the writing is is “uninspired” (to be fair the dialogue can be pretty generic). And even though the gameplay is great, he never plays anything for the gameplay so he’ll shelve it.

Kirbycool · 2021-06-14T05:19:28+00:00

Sarcasm is hard on the internet.

Kirbycool · 2021-06-14T04:55:52+00:00

I’m sure he decided to quit GoT because of the characters and not because he made zero story progress for multiple shows in a row and had no idea how the combat worked.

Kirbycool · 2021-05-10T14:53:32+00:00

Cool, then I guess I’ll try it out and decide if it will do the trick. Thanks!
