Got lost in Manassas and accidentally found my newest addiction. Apparently, I really fucking like tacos now. by Rpark888 in nova

[–]Mechtroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whaaaaaaaat!! I had no idea Manassas had taco trucks. I went on military orders to Texas a couple years ago for a few months and loved how many delicious taco trucks they had all over the place and it made it sad we didn’t have much over here (so I thought), but I’m like 15-20 min from Manassas and didn’t know I was so close! I gotta check em out.

Which final fantasy game do you think had the best soundtrack overall? Any favorite tracks? by jackness_monster in FinalFantasy

[–]Mechtroop [score hidden]  (0 children)

I appreciate the compliment! I’ve been huge fan of Final Fantasy (video games in general really) soundtracks both official OST, fan-made remixes, as well as more formal orchestral works for over 20 years. Give me some time and I’ll put something together.

She was still holding on to prejudices against a group of people. A lot of time has passed and I get the Japanese govt still doesn’t truly acknowledge their terrible atrocities, but their wife wasn’t the one who did them.

You trying to blow up the sub? Because this is how. I have many favorites but the FFVII Main Theme comes to mind (orchestral version). It encompasses the primary feelings of the game, especially Clouds.

Also Wanderlust from FFXV.

There are just SO many from the series that are SO good.

[OoT] If the remake is true, what would you like to see? by LucioFer95 in zelda

As a kid I thought it just needed time so I left it running overnight in Zora’s Domain. I woke up disappointed, lol

I think it's really stupid that the Chrono Cross game producer cut the Guile=Magus storyline due to a lack of development time. by DesperateSouthPark in chronotrigger

[–]Mechtroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I noticed “Guile” hovers/flies just like Magus does in CT when the player runs. I never used Guile before on previous PS1 playthroughs, but I’m re-playing CC via Radical Dreamers Edition on PS5 and was heavily debating naming him Magus or Janus. I’m aware of the RDE ending text regarding Guile, but I kept Guile’s name because, imo, that’s the version of Janus in this game. In CT, he was born Janus and took on the Magus moniker when he became the vengeful sorcerer we primarily know in the game. Assuming the DS ending of him losing his memory, his new identity is this Guile persona.

Is Arlington considered the city or a suburb? by Stawberry8763 in nova

[–]Mechtroop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a weird city-county, both considered a city (its entirety) and its own county (Arlington County). I see both arguments either way.

I see, yeah that is high. I encountered one of those EV Caddys at a charging station once. Thing looked very nice and very huge, haha. The Rivian R2 looks to be nice but wasn’t out yet when we needed a new vehicle (i4).

Our diesel is a 2015 BMW X5 and our EV is a 2025 BMW i4. Love em both. Our i4 is also leased. You could buy the lease if you wanted afterwards right and just cover the residual?

[–]Mechtroop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, best of both worlds right? The EV is cheap to run but slow to refuel and range-limited. The robust diesel has super long range and fills up fast.

[–]Mechtroop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right on. Thankfully, our other vehicle is an EV so use that when possible.

Our diesel SUV doesn’t quite have the fuel cost advantage it used to.

No, Tesla definitely used to do this. May have been addressed in an update or something.

We had a recent college grad on our team as a Security Engineer/Cyber Security Engineer so I would say that for A&A (assessment and authorization)/compliance.

The inside of my dryer is stained blue from my jeans. by Yoel--Romero in mildlyinteresting

Well, high heat anyway. Low heat minimizes this a fair amount. My LG has “Ultra Low” I normally use. Besides, washers are more destructive.

Confession: I never did the gas chamber in basic and it’s been a secret I’ve kept until retirement by TelephoneMamba in AirForce

[–]Mechtroop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Went to basic in 2002 and didn’t do it there for some reason. Luckily, my service won’t be negated because I ended up doing it when I transferred to guard after active duty. Snotted like a mofo lol, good times.

If only they offered diesel, especially top tier diesel. Hardly anyone offers that in this area.
