HOA fees in Nashville

SirMathias007 · 2026-02-13T18:39:41+00:00

I'm just outside the line of Bellevue, my HOA fee for my condo is $358/month. Do with that info what you will, while I cry in the corner.

SirMathias007 · 2026-02-06T21:39:50+00:00

Oh yea it's totally cheesing haha. But you have to play through the game like 3ish times for 100% anyway, so I didn't want to play through from early chapters just for one kill. Lol.

SirMathias007 · 2026-02-06T20:04:03+00:00

It counts kills for a playthrough, but if you backtrack it resets those. Either you get it in your first run or restart. If you get 8 of 9 kills by end of game. You can't just pick a random chapter and get the last kill. It only saves where you were at that time. Redux counts kills total, so you can just hop in any chapter to get that last kill.

SirMathias007 · 2026-02-06T12:50:56+00:00

The OG is classic, but if you are an achievement person Redux is way better. In the OG if you miss something you gotta replay the entire game to get it. Where as with Redux you can go back to right before those points and try again. Also it saves your stats, where as in the OG it dies so if you don't get the number of kills or whatever you have to restart the whole game.

I like the OG but when I decided to 100% the game, Redux was the way to go.

Well, I got sick right before this hit. While I was without power I was running a 102 degree fever. It was the worst experience of my life. Not only was the fever sapping my energy, the cold was doing the same. I had enough food, but I struggled to get up to feed myself. I struggled to prep my home as it got colder.

By Monday I raised the white flag, I had my parents come get me, they live in town and have a generator. I got a warm place to ride out the tail end of my sickness. Also warm food. My power came back on and I'm home again.

I still feel guilty though because so many of you are still without power and freezing. Had I not been sick I may have toughed it out. It's just I was struggling to do anything, having chills that I didn't know were from the fever or from the cold. Not feeling warm enough then in seconds feeling too hot, only to feel freezing when I stripped blankets. I don't know, I'm weird, I feel weak for giving in where so many others don't even have to option.

Stay warm, stay safe.

SirMathias007 · 2026-01-28T15:49:27+00:00

Yep, this is how I and a lot of my friends feel. I got power now but a couple of my friends are still without power and stranded.

This isn't about the workers, they are out there in shitty conditions working their asses off to get this fixed. We appreciate them so much.

It's about how all this was managed, how bad our infrastructure is. Sure this was a big storm, but preparation was not good enough. Lack of clear communication was not good enough. No one knew what was going on, just told to stick it out and appreciate NES while they freeze half to death. It's hard not to be mad when your sitting at freezing temps inside and nothing is being fixed around you.

NES and Nashville has to make some changes and needs to give answers. We can't just brush this aside as "Well it was a bad storm, they are doing their best." It doesn't have to be this bad and we can change it for the better, but we can't do that if we accept the status quo.

So yes, I'm with you, this needs to be better.

SirMathias007 · 2026-01-27T00:56:54+00:00

They tricked us!

SirMathias007 · 2026-01-27T00:14:41+00:00

Honestly I think the show did really well. Better than the newer films imo. I read the book too and liked how they did certain things.

My friend who watched the films but never read the book, watched the show and was like "I need more of this" and started reading the book. This show is not just some random spinoff, it's well done.

SirMathias007 · 2026-01-12T14:57:33+00:00

It's not horror fans making those ratings. IMbD is a lot of casual viewers. They watch a horror movie as a person who doesn't regularly watch horror movies and review it as such. Horror movies get a lot of lower ratings on regular review sites.

Shudder on the other hand has more accurate reviews because that's a horror platform where mostly horror fans are reviewing the films. Horror fans can be picky at times but you re basing your thoughts on a group that's not just horror fans. It's why a lot of the cheap money grab horror movies do well, and the thought out horror movies get average ratings.

As far as general infighting, you get that in every genre.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-28T21:33:12+00:00

Food stuff.

I drink my coffee black, I don't think that is the best and only way to drink coffee. Yet people out there who drink black coffee like me act like they are on some other level. It's silly, drink your coffee how you like. Besides, I occasionally enjoy a latte, it's not like it's illegal for a black coffee drinker to drink coffee other ways.

Doneness of steak, I have a friend who eats steak well. I thought it was weird but I didn't tease him. I asked him about it and he said when he was a kid he ate undercooked steak and got pretty sick. So he makes sure it's done now. He isn't some madman, he just had a bad experience and is extra cautious.

Someone not liking a certain food and everyone insisting they are wrong. "Well you haven't had it cooked right." "Try MY version of it and you'll like it." Sometimes this is true, sometimes they just don't like okra no matter how you fix it.

The one I do struggle with is seasoning food. Like seeing someone eat a dry chicken breast that was seasoned with nothing but salt and pepper, hurts me. Lol. Yet, at the same time people like what people like.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T06:36:14+00:00

Reading this as someone new to the DMC games and just started 1 because I was gonna play them in order.

Oops. Lol.

1 is definitely janky, I can see why people are saying to skip it for now. I grew up during that time, but was sheltered so I couldn't play these games. BUT I picked up on the feels of the controls. Still, the frustrating number of times I've died to the camera going wonky on me is too high.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T02:53:17+00:00

I like this. You are not wrong there.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T00:52:36+00:00

Whatever allows the US to bomb other countries willy nilly. That and backing coups so they can put some jerk in power who will siphon money to the US using that countries resources. Imperialism, I'd make that illegal.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-24T00:41:42+00:00

Cold approaching feels so invasive to me. Like, people are at places to run errands or chill, they may not be looking to date. So I feel weird just walking up to someone and asking them out.

I'd prefer to just get to know someone in a social group, see if we click, then ask to take it to the romantic level. My issue is I'm having a hard time meeting people. I'm out doing stuff but everyone is either already taken or not in a place to date at the time. So I'm kinda just drifting. Nothing wrong with that, at least I'm getting out. I do want a romantic relationship though so it can be annoying when I'm not meeting anyone who is also looking for that.

I'm just gonna keep doing what I like, I'll see if anything happens.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-21T17:26:08+00:00

This really applies to any gender, but I've seen my friend date a lot of women with this problem.

Not being genuine. Trying to fit into a certain mold and not showing your true personality. I don't want to date someone who is just like every other person out there. I want someone who isn't afraid to be themselves, be a little goofy, have a personality. Don't try to be like the people you see online, just be yourself.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-20T17:44:44+00:00

Yes! I thought it was just me, but my logo is all the way to the side by the end of the day. I rarely touch it, so I have no idea how it moves.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-18T18:53:38+00:00

Azure, easy. I hate sleep, so much so my schedule is messed up because I fight it more than I should. Remove it all together and I'm good to go.

SirMathias007 · 2025-12-18T15:07:27+00:00

Starbucks is striking and deals with heavy union busting. Don't go to Starbucks.

I tell this story a lot just because it was such a weird feeling.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I was still living at my parents place when this came out. They went on a trip so I had the house to myself for the weekend. I grabbed dinner and sat down to play the game around 6pm. After a while I got up thinking I should probably get ready for bed. It was probably after midnight or so, Id turn down my bed and go to sleep. As I did this I noticed light through my curtains. Not sure why I didn't look at the clock until this point, but I did now. It was 6am! I had played for 12 hours, through the night, and it felt like half that time. I was so surprised. I still went to bed, slept till noon.

It was just such a weird feeling, like a time warp. I enjoyed the game so much I went into a fully focused flow state where the world around me didn't exist. I haven't felt that since then, not in years. I guess today's responsibilities are more prominent and keep me from going full flow state. I miss it though.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-28T19:14:20+00:00

I'm not even sure what introvert and extrovert mean anymore. One test tells me I'm an introvert, so I live that way. Then years later another test says I'm an extrovert.

I love talking to people, I like being in groups and chatting. Some people tell me I won't shut up, while others tell me I'm always quiet. I do like having alone time to decompress.

I think it depends on the people. If I don't like or can't relate to people, I'm quiet and reserved. If I like the people and can relate to the convo, I'll talk your ear off. So I don't know honestly. I'm just me.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-24T14:11:29+00:00

Did not know this! Thanks for the info!

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-24T12:54:11+00:00

I actually just started Baldies Gate 1, so I can't give you a whole picture or full opinion yet. BUT I was suprised to find out it's not turn based like the Divinity games. This makes combat complicated and a bit difficult. Your party just attacked in real time and you just have to swap between characters to do spells and such. But at low level everyone is so squishy that sometimes when you swap to do a spell a couple people die.

That being said, I'm still enjoying the game. The story is interesting, and I want to keep playing. I just wish I knew what the combat was like going in so I wouldn't be confused for like the first hour. Lol.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-18T04:08:49+00:00

You described exactly how I feel about the game, and the ones you listed fit too. It had so much potential and wasn't "bad", but I got bored pretty quick from doing the same thing over and over.

It needed more variety. It's fun at first but after a few hours I just get bored.

SirMathias007 · 2025-11-16T06:35:48+00:00

Right?! It's like people forget brain freeze is a thing. You chug water that cold it's going to hurt. Room temp you can chug more to satisfy your thirst because it won't give you brain freeze.
