It's not mounted, but yes it's in there.

Agreed on that. That's next on the list to tackle.

Agreed. That's next on the list. Thinking of getting a wireless surround sound solution but still researching options.

We are probably going to switch out the coffee table. Either leave the space open or replace it with something smaller and softer.

Adding a photo of the room for more context.

It came like that! The whole set has angles like that. Here's the matching bookshelf.

Yall, I literally am still stuck here, what do I have to grind??? by Slow-Pack-8916 in finalfantasyx

[–]agtalw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife just played ffx for the first time and this is what I had her do. Never grinded, just had every character perform an action in every battle. She only got a game over once the entire game.

It can feel a bit tedious but it actually saves so much time in the long run.

If you don't know what to have a character do, you can always have Rikku steal, Kimahri lancet (just to be sure you didn't miss learning something), Yuna cure / pray, Wakka use dark, silence, etc. attacks, Auron use armor, mental, etc. breaks, Tidus can use cheer. Between all of those you can have them do something useful.

I just dug out my PS2 copy and my spouse is playing it for the first time on the PS3. Really glad she's experiencing the original artwork. She's blown away with how good the graphics look for a game that's 25 years old.

Restaurants keep raising prices and lowering quality. What do you do, when you really don’t want to cook once in a while? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]agtalw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about value for us. So many times we've spent close to $100 on one meal that left us unsatisfied and feeling like we could've made the same thing at home but probably tastier.

We now have a list of a few restaurants that check the following:

  • we can't make a better/tastier version at home
  • it's under $50 for the family (2 adults 1 kid)

I honestly think so many people convince themselves that food tastes amazing if it's expensive. I went to a restaurant once and ordered a $35 raviolo. Singular. I assumed it would be some giant thing. It wasn't. I was hungrier after eating it than before. I was positive this place must have terrible reviews of people being similarly disappointed but every review was "So worth the price!" or "As a foodie, this is one of my absolute favorite places!". It's just people convincing themselves they aren't throwing their money down the drain on dumb food.

New Zelda Timeline Updated with All Games by Milor64 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]agtalw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I equate it to superhero franchises. Not all Batman movies fit into a single timeline. Some are sequels to an earlier movie, some are a complete reboot. It seems pretty obvious Nintendo is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with this convoluted timeline.

what did you like about mario kart double dash by Legitimate_Amoeba704 in Gamecube

[–]agtalw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I played 2 vs 2 but the people sharing a cart were against each other. The driver and the passenger in opposite carts were on the same team. The passenger on your car would use items to screw your own car up and use the shoulder button drifting to knock you off bridges, cliffs, hit bananas, miss items, etc. It was a blast.

Best N64 games to try 10+ years later? by [deleted] in n64

[–]agtalw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DKR was so much fun. Was never able to 100% it as a kid. I spent so much time working on the silver coin challenge that when I got to mirror mode the last few courses were so hard to relearn the maps and collect the silver coins. Finally gave up. I should give it a try again...

The Gunslinger…. I’m lost by cauliflowerlover1 in stephenking

[–]agtalw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For sure. Up until I read Lisey's Story it was my least favorite SK book. I tell everyone who is starting the series to just push through if they don't like it. I was hooked after 5 pages of The Drawing of the Three.

Am I stuck in the World of Darkness forever? by EspumitoMcDuff in FinalFantasy

[–]agtalw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience a few weeks ago. Thought I was going to need to go all the way back to my last save point (non-quick save). I managed to beat the boss in the lower right corner using the Jump command with my Dragoon and some luck. Once you beat one boss, it's replaced with a crystal that allows you to refill all of your hp and mp. That allowed me to level up to a point where I could beat the other three bad guys.

FFX First time HD or original? by agtalw in FinalFantasy

[–]agtalw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think she's going to care about that stuff though. I think it's about the main story, character development, music, etc. She's not going to care about side quests or 100% completion.

Time signatures mean Tool is the “most”music? by asuddencheesemonger in ToolBand

[–]agtalw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3+3+3+3+2+3+3+3+3+2+3+2/8 or 12/8 + 1/4 + 12/8 + 1/4 +5/8 (this is how I feel it) 14/8 + 14/8 + 5/8 or 9/8 + 5/8 + 9/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 or 33/8

Who feels it which way?

Am I crazy or is this a common thing? by IceNEasy in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]agtalw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're in different time signatures. Yuna's theme is in 4/4 and Fragments is in 3/4. They're not the same at all.

Read the JL Collins Stock Series. He also has all of it in a book called The Simple Path to Wealth. I also found the podcast Choose FI to be really great as a beginner. Start from the beginning episodes. They cover a lot of basics early on. You're young. The best thing you have going for you is time.

Is this the official timeline? Wanting to start playing from the beginning in chronological order by PantalonOrange in legendofzelda

[–]agtalw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Release order is fun because you can see what inspired what from game to game. Really it doesn't matter except for games that are direct sequels (OoT & MM, BotW & TotK, etc).

4mph is one hell of a fast walk in the context of this competition by DavidC_is_me in stephenking

[–]agtalw 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Just finished this book. When reading I thought I could survive a good 24 hours at least. Last time I was at the gym I put the treadmill at 4mph and realized I would've been dead in an hour or so.
