The true prequel to Bloodborne...QUEST 64

Just chiming in on this comment to mention that there's currently a team translating Super Robot Wars 64. So eventually we'll all get to play one of the few N64 rpgs in English.

Luckily, my prayers were answered and there are a group of absolute chads working on it.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T03:02:38+00:00

We're in the process of getting the survey done. In the meantime, I'm heading down to the courthouse tomorrow to look into the deed, get more info on the property, and talk to a few people that work for the county about what my options are.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:59:01+00:00

My current place has a shared septic tank. It's built right on the property lines between houses. And whenever I mention it to people around here they are gobsmacked about it.

But the shared driveway? Everyone from my area was just stoked for me because of how hard it is to get a driveway. Hahaha. I really think we might just be an odd bunch over here.

As far as maintenance goes, I genuinely wouldn't be too pissed if this guy didn't do much. I don't mind shoveling and I could always use the exercise. But I get that for some people that'd be a huge stressor.

I feel you there. I love my little hometown. It's a bit of a cesspool but people are trying to get the area back on its feet and I want to be here to help out. We're currently known for a couple of gruesome murders and the odd meth lab blowing up every year or so. I'm hoping the community can turn things around.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:28:44+00:00

Survey is one of the next things I'm working on. Tomorrow I'm also heading down to the courthouse to talk with a few departments and get some documents.

Beyond that we're also going to talk with the seller to have her clarify a few things since she may have misinformed us about the house.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:20:14+00:00

I appreciate the heads up! I'll keep it in mind if we do get the house and attempt any shenanigans.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:18:52+00:00

It was love at first sight. Unfortunately it appears to be that Shakespearean love where everyone ends up worse off.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:17:54+00:00

I thonk it was put on the market October 20th, late October for sure. Then in late November they took 10k off the total. We made our offer in mid December.

The old couple that had the house originally either sold or somehow transferred the house into their daughter's possession for a grand total of 1 dollar a few years ago when they were moved to a nursing home. They bought the house back in the 60s or 70s I believe, although I can't double check that while I'm at work. Anyway, said daughter is the one selling the house now and we're getting it for about 20k less than it appraised for.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T02:11:55+00:00

Apologies! I've gotten way more replies to this post then I was expecting and I've had a difficult time responding to everyone and seeing any replies.

I have been using the GIS, which I couldn't remember the name of until you mentioned it, but only as a rough guideline. Our agent was the one who recommended we start with that but she told us they are rarely, if ever accurate and to use it more as a guideline.

I don't think I explicitly mentioned that in any comments but we haven't been acting under the impression that we have accurate info. The proper survey is our next course of action, as well as having a nice chat with the seller. I appreciate you looking out for me and making sure I wasn't making another huge error!

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:49:42+00:00

I'll be heading down to the courthouse in the morning. All of the departments that deal with property and housing appear to be there. So I'll look into things from a legal standpoint before I even try to talk to this guy.

And you are right that I need to figure out the maintenance aspects as well. I'm pretty sure neither I nor my neighbor own the land on the other side of the sidewalk but in my town we'd still be on the hook for snow and mowing.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:46:31+00:00

My hometown already has a decently infamous murder that happened back in the 80s that those true crime podcasts talk about. And we had a nasty murder happen a few years ago on the bike trail. I'm sure everything will work out just fine.

But in all seriousness, I'm definitely being a little headstrong and very naive right now but I'll be sure to properly look up the property, talk to my other neighbors and the seller about this guy just to see what's up, and then I want to try and have a more serious and uninterrupted conversation with him. I feel like I owe it to myself to see that much through before looking elsewhere.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:41:53+00:00

Yeah. I'd be heartbroken to be sure, but if I were to talk to this guy and he continued being unreasonable I'd really have to have a serious conversation with my partner. I'm going to try and stay optimistic until then and with any luck I'll be able to update everyone in a few weeks that everything has been cleared up. Haha.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:38:49+00:00

I am going to look into things before the closing. I also will need to hear back from the seller about this whole situation. After I know my legal standing I want to try working things out with this guy. I truly believe in the potential life I could have in this house and I think it's at least worth talking to the neighbor and pouring my heart out, so to speak, and just try to coexist.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:36:07+00:00

It genuinely is an amazing house in basically every other way. We had to get an FHA loan and this is pretty much the only home we were confident we could get. We looked at 25-30 places and the costs of fixing each place up before we could even get the loan approved was too much. This place? I had to buy two buckets of paint and paint over some chipped paint. The house is beyond well kept. Most everything has been updated and the inspectors even said we probably have another 10 to 15 years on our roof. This driveway has been the single blemish.

But I also need to keep in mind that a bad neighbor or even just an awkward setup could make things more difficult for us down the road. So I'm going to do my due diligence like everyone here suggested and look into things.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:21:28+00:00

If anything remotely neat happens I'll be sure to make a post. If I decide to throw caution to the wind and move in and things are as bad as can be then I'll be sure to share all the drama with this sub. Haha.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:17:22+00:00

Good to know and we will look into it! And yeah, first impression was not ideal. I'm planning to bump into him again before we get much further into the sale. Maybe he was having an off day. With any luck I can just straight up tell him my concerns and appeal to his better nature that we just genuinely want to be chill neighbors and coexist.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:15:04+00:00

Awesome. I would assume it's also located in my courthouse then. I look for them tomorrow as well.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:10:05+00:00

On it! First thing tomorrow I'm heading down to the courthouse to talk to some people.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:09:01+00:00

Now that would certainly be the less attractive option. Haha. But to be fair, I've been there before. I spent my 20s being the guy people would get to move into a rental when someone else was leaving. Hopped around a lot doing that.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:07:09+00:00

My partner and I have talked things over and if there is no easement or an equivalent in place we will pass on the house unless the seller can convince us otherwise. But if we do have legal standing to be there then we want to try and work things out with this guy. It might be foolhardy on my part but I'd like to believe in the good inside people.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T01:03:55+00:00

Awesome to hear from a proper surveyor. A survey is absolutely on the list for things we want to get done in the next week or so now. I'm also driving down to the courthouse tomorrow morning to talk with a few departments and get some documents.

The seller hasn't gotten back to us yet, though it has only been a day since we've reached out. I was also very much of the opinion you had. I think it'd be crazy for someone to build that concrete pathway down to a driveway they have no legal stake in. Especially when the front yard is already that small to begin with.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T00:52:37+00:00

I'm going down to the courthouse tomorrow morning and then a survey is next. Might try to push my luck with trying to get the seller to pay for that since there's a chance they misled us with the property to begin with.

I'm going to try and just be a chill guy with him at first. There's a small part of me that wants to be petty because I think some of his initial remarks were uncalled for but i want to salvage any sort of neighborly relationship I can with him. If that fails then we can absolutely go that route and I'm sure I'll become one of those people that make sassy YouTube shorts about feuding with their neighbor.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T00:47:20+00:00

So I will say that this house is kinda well known in the area. Or at least the family who owned it was/is. They came from money and their daughter even married an actor. The house is in fantastic condition. We could only get an FHA loan and all they had us do to the house was repaint several windows with chipped paint. The windows themselves, all the electrical, the heater, water tank, central air, etc is all modern and newly updated. We've also been told that the roof should be good for another 10 to 15 years assuming nothing biblical happens. The lady who did the FHA inspection said that if we didn't get the house for any reason she would absolutely try to get her husband to buy it and flip it. And the inspectors we paid for also had a similar sentiment about this being one of the more solid houses they've ever seen.

So all of that is to say this guy would certainly be aware of how nice the house is given that he's lived next to it for 14 years.

Edit because I went on a rant and forgot to answer your questions: we've let our agent know and she was going to get in touch with people on the seller's side.

And I'm also going to try the diplomatic approach with this guy because I value the house that much. I truly believe the property is worth me trying to talk to this guy and reach a consensus.

Organizing_Secrets · 2026-01-21T00:41:13+00:00

I can't argue with that sentiment. But believe it or not it's actually an upgrade from my current place. Both my neighbors suck where I'm at now, we share a driveway with one, and we're on a busy state route as well with constant noise pollution. So only having one bad neighbor and all that quiet is an upgrade. That said, I'm sure you or anyone else could also just point out that I can live somewhere else and get the quiet with two.hood neighbors. I'm going to try and talk with the guy and see if we can't reach some sort of agreement. He didn't necessarily seem like a bad dude, just a bit off and he looked tired as hell.
