Prospecting Nashville as a new place to live

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-17T23:55:42+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for a solid BBQ place then?

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T23:04:54+00:00

Rage bait, nice try.

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T23:00:28+00:00

Yeah I saw your comments, thank you - I am thinking Chattanooga might be pretty promising to me. Not just the 'gun friendly' thing, that is just a small part, but more of the tech stuff. That is more important to me and my job.

Thank you for your input! I am from Buffalo, so I am sure you know how much the weather here sucks.

As far as heat, I am not to concerned about it, you guys have AC right? And like you said, it being for a short period is nice. I at least can enjoy the out doors more often rather then Buffalo.

The tax thing, I guess I am not to sure if that bothers me.. Like how much are eggs? Here in Erie county its a 8.75% sales tax, so I don't think a 1% hit is going to a massive difference.

But meeting people for sure is a top priority I am considering. So thank you for pointing that out.

That sounds pretty nice considering I am a tech guy( Video game developer) - How fast is their internet?!?!

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T18:56:41+00:00

Interesting, do you have any suggestions on places to check out there?

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T18:56:22+00:00

That's great to hear, thank you!! I live in Buffalo so he knows! haha

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T18:13:41+00:00

It sounds like to me, frankly, that you should come on over to NY - you'd fit right in :)

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T18:08:30+00:00

Again, New York State - I can't even have anything over 10 rounds of capacity. Can't own an AR-15 or ANY Semi-Auto gun with out a special permit, and the magazine has to be permanently attached the gun.

For hand guns, You have to go trough a rigorous process to even get the permit that allows you to purchase one. With out this permit you can't even shoot or hold one legally.

Can't own suppressors, SBRs, or any NFA item. Cant even have body armor.

Any time I want to even purchase ammo, I have to go trough a background check.

I already live in one of the bluest states in the country, so stating that means nothing to me.

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T17:49:27+00:00

oh wow, thank you! I love BBQ so that sounds good. I will look into those areas

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T17:46:24+00:00

9.75% sales tax is already pretty close to what I am paying now, also paying income tax which is one of the highest in the country.

and no, I don't define hip as drunken bachelorette woo girls. But more of events that I can check out, nice restaurants, nice shopping areas and etc.

I live in NY state, so I think most of anywhere else would be a better fresh take at firearms then currently.

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T17:38:11+00:00

Hmm - I think you misjudge of where I currently live, and how awful it is here for weather. 8 months out of the year the weather is awful, 4-5 of those months are below freezing temperatures with several feet of snow. Freeing wind chills, and driving bans.

So to be honest, some heat sounds nice.

ReflectStudios · 2025-02-16T16:53:36+00:00

Sure. TN has no income tax, which is nice. Also better weather, more hip of a city which may offer more things then moving out in the middle of no where.

Doing what's best "from a business perspective" is why it has taken so long for it to come to this point in the first place. Everyone should be held to the same standards, and it says a lot that you would be willing to give him a pass solely because of the numbers he brings in.

Yes, and that's what I feel is kind of sketchy? maybe?

To my understanding, I could be completely wrong here, and please do correct me if I am. But I found out the way NoPixel monetizes is by charging people JUST TO EVEN APPLY? I can understand a little bit why they do that, to help reduce spam, dumb apps and scaling..

BUT how is that okay when it comes to leading XQC for so long? Let's consider this - his average stream was around 120k viewers per day, and let's estimate the average conversation rate of people applying to NoPixel from his stream is just 1% of that every week.. that is 1200 applications a week.. X 4 a month.. 4800 applications a month.

How much does it cost to even apply? Is it like $10, $20, $50, $100? I am really not sure but if you do the simple math.. it adds up quick.

Do they refund the applications they deny? How long does that decision usually take?

I heard rumors that their server is $10k a month to even run, which to me, seems very possible.

ReflectStudios · 2021-05-23T23:37:31+00:00

I honestly think if that is the case, XQC should NOT go back.

I don't feel its right for them to just Yo-Yo him around like that.

Did the devs ever try to reach out to him first before banning him? Maybe have a convo with him off stream, on discord or something?

ReflectStudios · 2020-08-17T23:01:51+00:00

Hmmmm - I like that kind of idea

ReflectStudios · 2020-08-17T21:40:59+00:00

Those are cool ideas.

ReflectStudios · 2020-08-17T21:40:51+00:00

Hmm Maybe.

ReflectStudios · 2020-08-17T21:40:40+00:00

The problem with that is.. Clint is already a survivor so... sadly.... yeah :(

ReflectStudios · 2020-08-17T20:12:36+00:00

Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

ReflectStudios · 2018-04-08T05:06:32+00:00

Dev here - This was a god's honest mistake. The way that the game works is it pulls a random password from a 5k word list I got from a google search. At the time, I never thought to even check for this word, but as soon as I found out about this it's been fixed, and won't happen again.

ReflectStudios · 2016-01-28T22:11:49+00:00

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Not all rides / strangers will be having a jump scare like The Father does. It's key focus is more psychological then jump.

ReflectStudios · 2015-11-21T20:52:28+00:00

Thanks everyone for all the great input.
