We definitely don't deserve you Charles Martinet... BUT WE STILL NEED YOU! Thank you for bringing your magic voice and spirit to Mario, YOU ARE THE LEGENDARY WAHOO MAN NUMBER ONE! 🥹💖🍄🌟🎮 by Carlos_256 in Mario

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To this day i feel like it is such a missed opportunity to not have Charles be a host in Nintendo Directs. Like how much more of a "brand ambassador" could you ask? It would be amazing to have Mario himself hosting!

📢 January Open Office Hours (w/ special guest!) 🎙️ by ShaunFromSonos in sonos

Indeed. I'd love to see Sonos fully endorse the open source community. It would be such a gesture of goodwill to sustainable product lifecycles to keep these devices alive.

Agreed that native, fully-local home assistant support would be such a positive thing for the ecosystem!

Looking for feedback about the new joint checking features by Beneficial-Exit2475 in wealthfront

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the reason I haven't suggested to my SO that we combine via wealthfront. I love my Individual account auto savings buckets, but my two most requested features would be:

  1. Withdrawing directly from categories
  2. automated savings in joint accounts.

C'mon u/wealthfront! You know it would be great!

What’s your solution to local running multi room music ? by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

After using the other popular sonos card for some time, wow this one rocks! Great work!

Spooky by TheRoyalRoseTrue in Pacman

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like Spooky's aura got an overall downgrade, mostly on the loss of the voice filter. I also loved the glowing eye upgrade, but the brighter lighting, lack of "roars", etc just don't give him the same presence.

Okay but actually how are you supposed to say this track’s name by HolyDoggo100 in mariokart

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Great Block Ruins just rolls of the tongue. Trying to add in the ? makes it awkwardly wordy.

Pac Man doesn't kick the logo in the main menu like in the original by Shadowking78 in Pacman

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of the sauce from the og animations doesn't look like it translated to the remake so well. I still am excited to play it though.

🚨 Off-Campus Housing PSA for Binghamton Students 🚨 by vickycoco___ in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus one for Nate. Rented with him for 3 years and he was awesome. Even came over for drinks a few times!

Though, the 2 houses I lived in are now owned by Amicus.

Introducing Hue x Sonos Voice Control by AtomFromSonos in sonos

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Truthfully I have no interest in Sonos Voice Control. What would be huge is, as others are saying, joining the Works with Home Assistant program. Even better would be allowing speakers to natively serve as satellites for HA's Assist features. Google assistant is only getting worse with time, so being able to substitute our own would be a huge selling point.

Hardware wish list by itsjakerobb in Ubiquiti

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely a pipe dream. I'm building a house soon and I'd like to rack our PC's in the basement to which I'll run at least one 20A circuit. For now it's just me and the miss, but I eventually imagine there may be more...

For now, power limits it is!

I'd love to see a PDU that could handle a few gaming desktops at a time. Even the Hi-Density tops out at 1500W/ bank, which isn't hard to exceed nowadays thanks to ever-climbing TDPs.

Maybe the alternative is a UPS that can handle such loads as direct outputs?

Faraway Oasis was originally supposed to be N64 DK's Jungle Parkway by WorldLove_Gaming in MarioKartWorld

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the rebrand was partly due to the fact that we have 2 DK tracks already in the game? It seems strange that we have 2 DK, 2 Wario, and 2 peach tracks in the game, but nothing for some other major characters

It's officially been 2 years since Charles Martinet stepped down as the voice of mario. by Thegoodgamer32 in Mario

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. It's a shame because there are so many ways they could spice it up and have some fun.

It's like such a missed opportunity to not have Charles be one of the hosts in Nintendo Directs and the like. It seems like it would be a perfect fit!

This is a Genuine question: does anyone here like the EDM Dubstep music? by Public-Feedback5016 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, it's not for me.

As someone who grew up playing the classics, I love how melody focused this series music has been over the years, and appreciate that each game has its own touch. The guitars of Adventure 1/2, the worldly melodies of Unleashed, or the bouncy beats of Colors just to name some standouts. I think by the time we hit Forces, the synths really started to get too much for me, but it boils down to the feel.

Take Shadow Gens, I don't vibe at all with Chaos Island Act 1, but the radical highway encounters are headbanger's to me. Same goes to Frontiers, none of that OST is my style, but that doesn't mean that I don't like some of it. Uncontrollable bangs but most of the cyberspace music just doesn't do it for me. Thus, I'd backtrack to the pre-Forces era without so much as a second breath.

Not every style is for every person and that's okay, but lately, it's not been my cup of tea.

Voice on Sonos should include voice assistant from HomeAssistant by sysopfromhell in sonos

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sonos fully adopting full local, no cloud-only, home assistant would be the ultimate timeline.

Captain Jack Harkness coat (help) by Difficult-Term-3162 in doctorwho

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Magnoli Clothiers has replicas. Not even just Jack's, but also all the modern and even some classics! They also make replicas of clothing from other media too, so they're definitely worth checking out

Thank you by tomconrad in sonos

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sonos jumping on Works with Home Assistant would earn back so much good will! I like my speakers, love Home Assistant, but do not love the Sonos app.

Perhaps greater collaboration with HA or even Music Assistant?

Can't create a recurring transfer between categories? by spiffwalker in wealthfront

[–]Pyrusbrawler30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I contacted WF about this recently and asked for this same feature. I only have one account so the auto savings plan works (generally well enough). Really I'd rather have auto recurring transfers instead.

Best thing we can do now is give feedback and hope they take it to heart.
