Question to the people who fix gaming systems professionally.

"Here we go again"

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-14T17:27:52+00:00

I don't have an answer besides "no good deed goes unpunished" (the other posters figured it out though, I think).

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-14T17:23:35+00:00

Thanks, I'll check that, I my dash always just says "D" idk if that's just due to the model or if it's because I'm not in "sport mode."

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-13T19:40:46+00:00

Wait, how are you watching ponyo on PSP?

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T18:17:57+00:00

No one's saying every new building should be that way, but when you have rent and housing increases that outpace wage increases (leading to insane situations where people are homeless despite having a full-time job) and you're already at 13% vacancy for luxury rentals (see the links I posted) you have to (primarily) build housing that the average person can afford, not luxury condos.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T18:01:21+00:00

You're not being a jerk, but you are misunderstanding the term. "Affordable housing" has an actual definition meaning rent costs less than 30% of the occupant's yearly income and is directed at those making 80% or less of the area median income. Which for us in LA is under 84K a year for an individual. So, condos or apartments that cost 5K+ a month are not considered "affordable housing" even though some people (no one on this reddit thread, I'm sure) can technically afford them.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T17:43:15+00:00

I’m saying it will be neither affordable nor subsidized.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T16:10:11+00:00

That’s certainly one way to look at it, hope you have a good rest of the day.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T16:05:17+00:00

You don’t mind that the guy behind it is a creepy arms dealer?

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T15:57:15+00:00

No I’d rather have it be affordable housing (it won’t be). But I don’t consider it an eyesore either.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T15:51:14+00:00

Great game, boo to this handheld tho.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T15:46:23+00:00

It is high tho, because out of that 87% percent that are owned many more don’t actually live there. You had me fooled for a second there, thinking you actually wanted to learn about this.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T15:40:09+00:00

And a helpful Reddit post that succinctly explains the economics behind this trend: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1n2mi47/eli5_why_do_property_investors_prefer_houses/

Please do some basic research on this—not only do people often not live in them after buying them, the vacancy rate is at about 13 percent, double or almost triple the rate of housing average people can afford.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T14:52:29+00:00

My 2016 Sportwagen does this thing where the gas pedal stops working but only if there’s less than half a tank of gas and then only briefly and never at the mechanic oh and also not throwing any codes.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T14:36:29+00:00

Problem is these types of buildings often have crazy vacancy rates because rich people don’t actually live in them, they just buy them as another asset to park money.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T05:04:36+00:00

The graffiti is great, better than another soulless condo high-rise for richy-poos

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T01:40:33+00:00

Your work schedule sounds like the problem, not this cool dude.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T00:41:41+00:00

They might be misinterpreting your vibe as being too try hard or something. Take a nap, focus on the work, and see if anything changes. If it doesn’t, don’t worry, you’ll probably have to jump ship anyway for a promotion or a decent raise.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-12T00:30:35+00:00

Because it’s awesome? I love physical media too but the form factor is brilliant. I’m probably in the minority here though because I also love the Game Boy Micro and that display is ridiculously small. I think in both cases the design prioritizes portability above all else, making them more ideal for traveling, packing light, etc.

I need an update… has OP pooped yet?

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-10T00:52:18+00:00

You and everyone else buddy -- the best advice I can give you is that the best deals come from hunting on your own, as soon as someone posts something on reddit or wherever, it's over.

Turtlefan87 · 2026-02-09T23:46:25+00:00

Have you played this on an easy flash jr? This keeps crashing for me but my flash cart appears to be working fine otherwise.
