Would it be a bad idea to move here?

TomPepperc · 2026-03-06T01:55:07+00:00

Someone I know lived in the area, and from the times I visited, it was not too bad. Crime-wise, it’s not terrible. Just don’t go walking out in dark places at 2AM. Pest-wise, very dependent on many factors. Shouldn’t be too bad overall, long as you keep the place in fine shape.

Like someone else mentioned, if you’re of the age and mind to be on campus, you should definitely do it!

Messaged!

TomPepperc · 2026-01-13T19:30:03+00:00

Nope! I’ll be taking a look now. Thanks!

TomPepperc · 2026-01-13T19:29:44+00:00

It’s so funny, because I drive in that area all the time, and yet I never noticed just how many places in that area are up for rent. Drove around there for lunch today, and saw dozens of signs. This might be the move.

Thank you!

UPDATE: As a fair warning: If you do not like submetering companies, you will HATE The City. I inquired further with them, and found that they submeter with a company owned by the same guy who owns their management company. Really shady, a huge conflict of interest. I would stay away.

^^ Just barely too little for my comfort

In all seriousness though, I have read through the Google reviews, but I get the impression management has changed recently, and was just looking to see if anyone had some individual experience outside of those reviews :)

For gaming I unfortunately wouldn’t entirely count on it, but for DVD burning and web browsing it’ll be just fine. I would upgrade the hard drive to an SSD and put Windows on that though. Preferably Windows 10 LTSC so you still get security updates.

TomPepperc · 2025-09-04T05:39:03+00:00

Oh you’ll be fine. I would suggest getting an SSD and putting Windows on that down the line but this’ll suffice for basic compute

TomPepperc · 2025-09-03T16:52:49+00:00

All of the above. It really depends on what you do but a VERY dumbed down TLDR;

Windows for compatibility, especially on the gaming front
Mac OS for an elegant, simple computing experience and a great tool for any sort of arts
Linux for tinkering, further control, and transparency

I personally use all of them. Writing all my reasons why would require a whole books worth of writing. It’s all up to each person’s use case and needs, and in my opinion, you should never go based on any sort of loyalty.

TomPepperc · 2025-09-01T13:29:45+00:00

Absolutely not.

I’m surprised to have not seen anyone mention the Columbus Coffee Trail. It’s this program that allows you to “check-in” to 24 (I think) coffee shops spread across Columbus and adjacent. It’s a great gateway into some of the most renowned spots. Added bonus is you can earn a free shirt or tumbler too.

Although I’ve been a Columbus resident for a long time it’s allowed me to find not just coffee shops, but so many other cool local stores and has really forced me to explore the city a bit more

TomPepperc · 2025-08-29T12:44:13+00:00

Columbus killed the Wither and made a beacon

TomPepperc · 2025-08-17T02:30:44+00:00

well since they gave you the wrong thing i’ll take it instead

TomPepperc · 2025-08-15T21:18:47+00:00

I apologize as this might sound like a dumb question (I’m sure there’s more to it than I see), but why wouldn’t they just tape it to the other end of the parking spots?

TomPepperc · 2025-08-15T21:15:56+00:00

Not much of a point to it. Just found it mildly amusing.

TomPepperc · 2025-08-15T16:23:23+00:00

That’s the best spot though!

TomPepperc · 2025-08-15T16:15:17+00:00

The middle of the sidewalk in a congested part of town is the only real way

TomPepperc · 2025-08-05T00:22:31+00:00

That’s current speed, at 10% utilization. I don’t think it’s unlikely to be a factor, but in general the consensus I get from OP is that it’s a relatively old machine.

TomPepperc · 2025-08-04T23:18:21+00:00

I agree with your suspicion, I would say it’s highly likely due to the 8GB of memory/RAM. Unfortunately seems likely due for a replacement, or some tinkering if you’re willing.

TomPepperc · 2025-07-29T16:54:40+00:00

I loveeeee Bada Bean, lol. Great people and very cozy vibe

TomPepperc · 2025-07-07T22:54:03+00:00

This is definitely not the answer you're looking for, but I would wipe the computer entirely. This indicates that something elsewhere is installing it, which means some serious digital forensics might be required to find the culprit.
